There seems to be no shortage of incompetent men who have sucked up to Trump for their stupid jobs. Too bad they don’t realize that it’s us paying their salary not Trump.

Trump got around the nepotism laws by not paying his daughter and son-in-law to work in the White House. They had a full staff and all the equipment. They were supported by taxpayers and they made plenty of money on the side. This cannot continue.

He's a fucking clown. Ditto for Jr, Hesgeth, and Gabbard. So far the only serious pick is Little Marco.

be subject to impeachment hearings (cuz you know there's gonna be crimes)? Who cares if the Senate doesn't support the impeachment --- it's the thought that counts!

If they are subject to impeachment the D's should publicly put these appointees on notice right now. Knowing that it's possible in 2 years to regain our democracy will give a lot a citizens hope to hold on to in the meantime.

Wonder how the MAGAs feel about him... isn't he an "other" in their minds? So is Tulsi.

He was involved in the theft. No way in hell would he get a security clearance, good thing no one changed the law that allows the president to just give him clearance.

Putin will love this pick, maybe he made it?
