Re: and so it begins
Hello dwise1,
I know I am not the only one disturbed by the recent picks for Sec State, Sec of Energy and Sec of Education.
It would not be worrisome if Trump's picks where just random sillyness made to propagate liberal tears.
No, these are calculated and deliberate choices from genuine ideologues and policy wonks who will most likely, systematically destroy any semblance of those offices.
It would not be so worrisome if Trump would take the CIA at it's word that Russia meddled in our election process by hacking.
It would not be so worrisome if Trump would stop twittering and started to act like a president of the most powerful country on Earth.
If he would start to realize he is on the bottom of the learning curve and needs to start paying attention to his security advisers instead of saying shit like: "I'm smart." and concerning himself with being baited by SNL. I hate that we must suffer this fool because our fellow countrymen are so divided and ignorant, they'd rather not vote or cast a vote to a unprincipled tax dodging twit. I had better be careful what I say...winter is coming.

Oh well that settles it. If they say it, it must be true.

Re: and so it begins
..that and appointing cabinet members who are ideologically opposed to the very departments they will be heading.
Perry wanting to dismantle the Dept of Energy
Pruitt suing the EPA
And a oil CEO as Sec of State what bad could happen.

Re: Slightly less afraid
Lobbyist? we don't need no stinking lobbyist.
What need of lobbyist when you can just hire the fookin CEO to affect your goals and be done with it.
Just yesterday:
quote:
Anthony Scaramucci spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo on New Day about the Trump transition’s team to attempt to get the names of current federal government employees who worked on climate change programs. The Energy department rejected the request on Tuesday.
I know that the current president believes that human beings are affecting the climate. There are scientists that believe that that’s not happening, Scaramucci said.
Wait for it......
quote:
There was overwhelming science that the earth was flat and there was an overwhelming science that we were the center of the world, Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, continued. We get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community.
Yep ladies and gents, "overwhelming science" that the Earth was flat. Hence we should not believe Science now because ya know it could just be a bunch of wrong facts.
