he's not a very good one. He is inconsistent, unreliable, chronically disloyal, and well frankly, pretty stupid.

I think he is more of a mobster wannabe.

he wouldn't last long in any mob organization. Yes, he is a "little crook" who was recruited by Putin. Without Putin, he would be Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

At least she was confirmed.

Should the US of A ever drag itself bodily out of this spiral. A high priority should be placed on strictly limiting the abilities of “acting” seat holders to keeping the lights on and rotating the stock.

Yes, should another buffoonery shamble its way into power it’s in their nature to ignore any statutes. But, at least there would be no grey.
