Most of the appointments have been surprisingly good


In what way? Please be specific about each person as to why they were excellent choices for the cabinet or administration position. Experience, temperament, etc.


For example, the new Ambassador to China.

Had never even heard of him, and somehow the Trump team found this guy who has a decades-long trust relationship with the top leader of a country where trust is paramount.


it's kind of hilarious the one person you pick out to praise is an ambassador. Not a cabinet member or one of the close advisors who will have Trump's ear every single day.

Holy cow.


haha, so funny. My mother in law-who voted for Trump- was complaining that Trump is appointing too many old people.
I mean, about all the things one can be upset about, THAT is what was concerning to her. I say, age-ist!

A basket of ticking time bombs. Should be fun to watch if you know how to protect yourself.

If it does scare you, you probably got a B- in your non-AP government class.

Funny, the libs think too many generals are a problem, but had no problem with all the Ivies represented in the Obama administration.


God, I know, right? Educated people have no business making policy. Goddamn hippy thinkers with their ability to read and write, they piss me off! Give me a good high school - no, wait - middle school graduate and put them in the highest office you can find for them. I don't like balance or thinking, either!

/s
You Rs sure fear education.


I come from a country where military orchestrated the coup and came in power, it starts slowly but happens before you even realize what happened. I find it very interesting that Trump voters think there can never be a coup,we thought so too.

Curfew was declared, shoot at sight orders if you step out during curfew. Rest of the world has a lot of respect of American democracy because they have seen the other face of the coin. Never take your liberty so casually, I hope God Almighty blesses this country and we all come through this with our democracy intact.

Are any Republicans going to vote against Flynn?


No Senate confirmation needed. The president can appoint whatever loony he wants as his national security advisor. And of course he only picks "the best" and "the smartest." It's a terrible indictment of the US if his best and smartest pick for national security advisor is a conspiracy theory whacko.

I have spent my professional career studying and practicing public administration. Bachelors in government, masters in public administration, and 25 years of practical experience managing state and federal programs, including the past 0 years at the executive level running a multi-billion dollar federal program. Ben Carson is as qualified to run a federal agency as I am to perform brain surgery. Why is there no understanding that federal management and leadership is an actual discipline that requires relevant experience?

Don't sell Flynn short. He is anti-Semite who also thinks Obama is a jihadist who is laundering money for ISIS, Agenda 21 is leading us to a UN-led New Wotld Order, and that Hillary is waging a war against the Catholic Church. Why does the feckless leadership of the GOP content to let this madman put our nation at risk? Shameful and dangerous.
