Odd.
This is not the category in which I started this topic.
Wonder why it was moved?
Actually, I know why.

No those are all A picks for a purpose, to stir the pot. So, your belief is that Trump intentionally made some picks who he knew would withdraw, or be rejected, or fail if they got confirmed. Simply to create chaos counter-productive to his own agenda. Interesting theory. |

I will Starbuck: D Always committed to productive dialogue, and immune to distractions and silly snideness, I remain on topic without exception. And extend the same opportunity to others without fail. With which of the grades I have assigned do you disagree, and why? |

Yes, I knew that you moved it. No worries. For the record, the thread is not about Donald Trump. It is about grading his nominees and appointments relative to the job they are being asked to perform. They, not he, are the actual topic. You may notice that their names all appeared in my post - and his did not. There was an intention in that. They are the individuals whom I am interested in discussing. |

Interesting theory. No that's not my belief Those people know the swamp and hate it And is simply hating a thing qualification for managing and improving it? Do you truly believe that each of the people I listed is fully qualified for the job to which they are being nominated or appointed? Do you believe each has been vetted? Do you believe that none were selected based on little more than loyalty anfd familiarity? |

For the record, the thread is not about Donald Trump. ya put his name in the title of the thread, it kinda makes it about him. and dont bother editing his name out now, there is only 1 President making numerous appointments right now and its Trump. They are the individuals whom I am interested in discussing. You didnt really start a discussion though; you applied an arbitrary grade to them based on your own secret criteria. Three appointments you arbitrarily gave a failing grade to, DOD, DOJ, DNI, are the 3 that require the biggest change agents to be in charge. Appointing anyone from the inside of those dept would do nothing to provide the needed reform |

Do you truly believe that each of the people I listed is fully qualified for the job to which they are being nominated or appointed? what are the qualifications for DNI? Who wrote them and who approved them? Do you believe each has been vetted? Who is doing the vetting? I can imagine the vetting process, much like the Sec Clearance process, has been bastardized Do you believe that none were selected based on little more than loyalty anfd familiarity? Given what happened in his first term by appointing someone who turned DoJ over to his political enemies, Yeah, I think loyalty is pretty fucking important. |
