Well, the klown kar is getting crowded and this particular appointment is straight out of MAD Magazine. And MAD Magazine predicted that Trump would one day be president, because that was the kind of off-beat, outre mentality of the publication. Now we live in a cartoon and that’s *normal.* Bongino was Rush Limbaugh’s mini me for a while.
Melania draped a medal on Limbaugh at the State of the Union where Pelosi tore up Trump’s speech. Now Trump wants to sell the building with her name on it. Isn’t the normal world of 2025 enough to make you wonder what happens on a psych ward? Dan Bongino does not require Senate confirmation and he is now Kash Patel’s wingman. Trump calls this “great news for law enforcement and American justice.”
For a few years following Rush Limbaugh’s death in 2021, he was chosen for a radio show on the same time slot of the famous commentator.
Bongino worked for the New York police department from 1997 through 1999, before joining the Secret Service. He began doing commentary on Fox News more than a decade ago, and had a Saturday night show with the network from 2021 to 2023. He is now a host of the Dan Bongino Show, one of the most popular podcasts, according to Spotify.
Bongino ran for a US Senate seat in Maryland in 2012 and for congressional seats in 2014 and 2016 in Maryland and Florida, after moving in 2015. He lost all three races.
During an interview last year, Bongino asked Trump to commit to forming a commission to reform the Secret Service, calling it a “failed” agency and criticizing it for the two assassination attempts last year.
“That guy should have been nowhere near you,” Bongino said about the man who authorities say camped outside Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, before he was spotted with a rifle.
Bigger question. Why did he unblock me

Another amateur who’s going to remake a section of the government in his own image. What could go wrong?

If you’ve already donated to PolitiZoom, we are grateful for your contributon. If you’re able to spare a donation, it will help us keep going during this time of low traffic industry-wide. And I’m sure I don’t have to explain to anybody why people are staying away from this kind of demoralizing material. But we have to keep on fighting.
when the going gets weird…the weird turn pro.

MAD was hilarious, but seldom.mean..It would take the National Lampoon article,written by a guy with a really bad hangover and whose girlfriend just dumped him, todo.justice to Trump.and Company.
