Calling them "lawmakers" at this point seems like a stretch given our laws are now almost exclusively dictated via social media/EO by the executive. I wish I was kidding. Maybe "former" or "legacy" lawmakers is more accurate?
Lawmakers in name only. Rubber stamping bills proposed by lobbyists and the executive branch. Lino printing
legacy seems appropriate given their average age
Maybe call them "chat", like a Twitch chat? Trump is already streaming from the Oval Office and blogging on Truth Social, and the chat reacts within the allowed boundaries.
atp calling them show-uppers would be a little bit much. perhaps "elected vacationers"?
There is a bigger problem, which is the governmental encouragement of software and hardware products with implicitly low security, spyware, and even backdoors. Google and Cloudflare are prime examples of vendors peddling such products. As in case in point, if the security on Android had been any good, then GrapheneOS wouldn't need to exist. We even have a governmental institution (NSA) dedicated to making software weaker rather than stronger.
Asking for an OIG investigation would be more reassuring if Trump were not regularly firing inspector generals, replacing them with loyalists, and then using them to investigate his perceived enemies.
How can America be a kakistocracy and a kleptocracy at the same time? We are that good.
In a nutshell, what they are good at is hiding the consequences of their fuckups. They are blessed with (among other things) unbelievable luck that never seems to run out.
