So who's next for the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari*?

Does Don Jr. have an official job yet? Peter Navarro for Commerce? Housing and Urban Development needs a Black person because, you know, "urban," so Tim Scott or Marc Robinson? Send in the clowns....

* The film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, "thematises brutal and irrational authority. Writers and scholars have argued the film reflects a subconscious need in German society for a tyrant, and is an example of Germany's obedience to authority and unwillingness to rebel against deranged authority." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cabinet_of_Dr._Caligari

Probably because he's pretty vociferously anti-China.

Treasury is open, and an open question.

Education is open, but apparently they are going to shut that down, so tra la!

A couple of people haven't received their "rewards" yet for stumping for Trump or otherwise selling their souls:

MTG
Tim Scott
Byron Donalds

And then there are the weird background people. Maybe they won't get cabinet posts but we need to keep our eyes out:

Mike Flynn
Mike Lindell
His creepy female lawyer who became more of a performer at his rallies than a serious lawyer
Steve Bannon (will probably always be a behind the scenes guy)
Russel Vought
Kevin Roberts

Cabinet of Dr. Caligary.

D-list celebrities and corrupt politicians in a Trump “reality show.”

It’s available on YouTube, and worth a watch. Very expressionistic and moody, with a twist ending.

Also a fitting comparison, since Caligari’s cabinet contained a sleepwalker 😆
