Again this is a good thing

Credentialism is bad. Seems like Trump's picks are both ideological and the working man.

The ridiculous ---- these idiots are going to have to constantly come up with to justify their lack of critical thought is going to get really tedious.

Sam Brinton? I didn't know "deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition" was a Cabinet position.

Rachel Levine? I didn't know "assistant secretary for health" was a Cabinet position.

That idiot doesn't know what a Cabinet Secretary is, he's just regurgitating the talking point whataboutism he's been told to think.

It doesn't. All cabinet members are loyal to the POTUS. You should know that.

There's loyalty and then there's fealty.

No, bothsiderism doesn't apply here no matter how much you want it to.

And ballwasher will cheer.

STFU idiot.

he got in....and was successful at 2 Ivy League schools....end of story

So now this is a good thing? Doesn't that mean he majored in underwater lesbian basket weaving?

Y'all are so selective with the application of your "standards" it's hard to keep up with your current opinion of things.

Also, it took disturbingly little time for you fools to bend over and let Trump become everything you claimed to hate and everything he claimed to be against.

All offence intended, you're proving far, far stupider than I ever thought possible.

We all know what "efficiency" means here.

It's how can we redirect the most money possible to our pockets.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bloat remains largely intact, they'll just direct the money to fewer, more favorable sources.

Can't wait for all the excuses from gracie et al in the near future of why the s&^% sandwich they're eating is the best sandwich they've ever had.

Hegseth is a combat veteran with two bronze stars

If we were talking about him being selected as a battalion XO that would be great.

None of that is relevant to "leading" a multi-million person, $800+ billion dollar enterprise.

His primary qualification is he will be absolutely loyal to Trump.

And that should scare the ---- out of you.

There isn't any American institution that is world leading that will survive the next two years.

People have been throwing around the phrase "great depression" and I scoffed initially.

But I really think that's where we're headed. The ripple effects will take years to pass and when we emerge, we'll be far far worse off than we are now in every way possible.

That matches their miserable base's guiding "principles."

Why, Senate Republicans have pledged to do recess appointments for all of -------- horrible horrible appointments

Something our resident righties should be angry about but have been predictably silent.

It's almost as if they DO lack integrity, morals, principles, convictions...

No, the deputy defense secretary filled in.

And now it's scandalous that he left and joined a corporate board in MIC.

Jesus Christ you stupid f&^%s are gonna bend over backwards to avoid criticism.

I didn't think it would be this easy for them.

They're turning this place into a complete joke and y'all are like "Hell yeah! MAGA!"

Nice dance, -------.

Just slink away the next time you step on your own dick.

MAGA. One great pick after another great pick. No boxes checked, just qualified people, finally.

Has anyone told you lately that you're an idiot?

He was probably thinking about Lloyd Austin, who was merely a 4-star general and CENTCOM commander.

Blinken was SoS. Which would be appropriate for a diplomat and lawyer...

When was Blinken Defense Secretary?

Any of you --------- beginning to question your support of this clown show yet?

Schumer needs to go.

Prepare yourself. Get tough mentally and avoid the path Troofy is on.

I'm not a progressive, moron. I'm not that attached to most of it.

But they are going to hurt a lot of people with the changes they're saying they want to make and you're delusional if you think otherwise. You're even more delusional if you think you won't be affected.

Oh, and it's cute you think they're going to operate within the norms of the past. Trump is already making demands even outside his first administration norms that should make your skin crawl.

Executive experience, which is more than one can say for the majority of biden's cabinet.

No wonder you have such low expectations. You're standards suck.

You'd think you would tap someone with at least law enforcement experience, if not national security experience.

This administration is gonna be such a clown show second only to the idiots tying themselves in knots justifying that it's really not that bad.

Not an administration what worked with social media platforms to stifle conservative speech...

#NeverHappened

Doesn't make the list of real problems.

So what would you say is the major issue?

My party had a primary. End of discussion

I'm well aware.

Why do you think I pointed out that you CHOSE Trump?

So if it's a huge knock on Harris that she lost to it, it's an even greater knock on YOU that you chose it and voted for it.
