people who came on already very clear on what they wanted to do and how they wanted to get there.
Miller is a pile of id with no mental or emotional reign, running wild, relitigating how humiliating it was for him to be go to a hispanic majority high school for a year when his father's business went south. I don't think he ever engages in higher brain function at all.
Hegseth, Patel, Noem can't think their way out of a paper bag. They're dumb as a rock. Bondi is tasked with impossible tasks all the time with the requests that keep coming in, and I don't think she has the time to plan anything out.
Vance and Rubio are both in it for the long run. They plan and plot like crazy, continuing to position themselves for the upcoming nomination clash, but their calculus is about themselves, not the cause. Vance also needs to serve Peter Thiel's interests while all that's been going on.
While all these people are flailing around, just reacting to Trump's runaway dementia and fixation on monetizing the prsidency, Vought and his gang is sneakliy implementing fascism in bold steps ... and I think (a) those are the folks who are in a rush, and (b) I'm pretty sure they're all in on the twin agenda of authoritarian police state at home and imperialist expansion in the hemisphere.
