(2,005 posts)At this point I expect every person that serves in this administration to be completely unqualified for the position they will hold and only there to “shake things up”. It’s gonna be chaos

(4,835 posts)She seems deeply unqualified and probably a few attacks will get through, but she's a loyal Trumpy and will say cool praises during the Cabinet meetings.

(37,182 posts)Bush is annointed president by the SCOTUS in 2000. Then falls asleep at the wheel when were attacked on 9/11. Then he creates this monster new agency called Department of Homeland Security where perhaps the most unqualified person in the country will run it with global implications for us all.
Stephen King on his best day couldn't write a better horror story.

(2,780 posts)I doubt "Congressman" Greene will be appointed to anything. Trump will only stand for so many women in positions of authority. She'd make a huge mess of it, though which might be a bonus. The faster this house of cards falls, the better.
Prairie Gates
(4,835 posts)gets the first offer for the spot.
It's all very good and sane government!

(2,303 posts)It’s clear all of these comments coming from Trumpers are designed to upset us. Let’s not give them the satisfaction.

newdeal2
(2,303 posts)He is flooding the zone. Same with the Fuentes comments and the person who talked about putting kids in cages. They are trying to rile us up, probably to distract from whatever is really going on.

(37,182 posts)I'm not going to get mad bc this is what this country wanted. So, let the country have it.

(11,116 posts)Why the hell not. If you are going to burn it down, why not throw some gasoline on the fire?
I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing my disgust and fear. I'm just going to smile and tell them to have at it.

Inflation as a result of tariffs.
Economic catastrophe.
And much more.
If it happens, then oh well. This is what America voted for.

haele
(14,121 posts)He wants a free for all "Just in Time" reactive Administration, that flexible pay/spend as you go type governance that depends on political whims and projects instead of long term strategic policies or regulations to ensure public safety and welfare.
He can't wrap his head around anything but start-up or R&D project management. That's where he got stuck in his early career. Never learned how to manage sustainability or lifecycle. He's fallen upwards ever since, riding on coat-tails of other "idea" people.
Because he doesn't care, so long as he can walk away and leave his clients to gain massive profits over the first year or two. After that, he'll come up with a new disaster fixing plan to profit his clients some more.
No thought to a future sustainability needed.
But first, he needs to get rid of regulations and Bureaucratic "slow downs" to implement his genius plans.
