    @newsguyusa@flipboard.social Will anyone else in the Trump administration be thrown under it as well. I hope that's not just wishful thinking. (Note: I mean "throw under the bus" rhetorically. I don't want anyone literally thrown under actual buses.)

    @newsguyusa@flipboard.social The details of the USA government are unclear to me. Here we have collective government by Cabinet, so although ministers may be handling a particular department, the whole table of them are all responsible for all policies. Has the USA degenerated into independent fiefdoms each controlled by a Duke owing fealty to their King?
