When was the last time a President-elect nominated...

At this point Trump could come out in favor of apple pie and Dems would complain...

Jesus might actually be the most triggering pick to them. Look at how guys like ragnar behave already when it comes to religion (Christianity specifically, "oddly" enough..). They hate it so much that they insert it randomly into conversations where religion hasn't even been brought up as if it gives them the philosophical high ground in the argument. Very weird.

When was the last time the slate of legacy GOP candidates was so bad that they had to nominate two crazy has-beens from the Dems?

Oh plus a TV host and a pedophile.
One of the things that I took note of during Trump's campaign was he was asked about his high turnover rate, he said he didn't know anyone from DC and took people's advice, some of which was bad advice, this time he knows the players and has better sources for getting people who want to "make America great".



Bag on* the guy all you want but he isn't taking traditional approaches, he wants to get shit done.

Two Presidential candidates from the other party to his cabinet?

And the funny thing is the D's are whining about both of them. Trump could nominate Jesus and the D's would still whine.
They whine, they make excuses, they don't accept personal responsibility, the blame others, they are a cancer.

How so? It seems like he's taking even more risks with his cabinet nominations.
It's almost like he wants a bunch of incompetent goons to keep the spotlight on them while the people behind the scenes who are actually making decisions remain unnoticed. Also, these people are willing to take the backlash of those decisions (or maybe aren't aware they are being set up to be a patsy).

Or, Trump is as nuts as he seems to be and you all voted for him anyway.

Nope, he's selecting people who won't stab him in the back,.. Last time he acquiesced to the Washington insiders and ended up surrounded by a bunch of people who didn't really support his plans,.. They thought they knew better, they thought they could control him...

Pedophile? I'm no Gaetz fan but the allegations are that he slept with a 17 yo that said she was 18 when this occurred. Not saying I'm OK with it given it's wierd but I think pedophile is a stretch. In a majority of states this would have been legal. Iowa being one of them.
 
yep you just posted that. Thats where the republican party is.
I didn't say I'm OK with it. I have a daughter that age. But I also have a sister, who when she was 18, married a guy that was 35. Which was Gaetz age when he allegedly had sex with someone who admitted she was passing herself off as 18.

It's weird as hell but he isn't guilty of a crime as prosecutors looked at it and passed.

Two things can be true at one time. Gaetz is a clown and weird as hell. But stating people are pedophiles isn't accurate either.


So where Democrats are these days is
1. Losing control of the levers of power in the US.
2. Using law as a weapon to be yielded as they see fit.

I'm for reality. Calling balls and strikes.
 
Publicly disagree or simply disagree?,.. Personally, I don't think any cabinet member should publicly disagree with a standing president,... If it comes to that they should simply resign.
I modified my question to privately disagree in a later post.

That’s a rather fine distinction. So he isn’t a felon? I don’t know the laws in Florida, but fine. Just a creepy dude taking advantage of inexperienced girls who aren’t even adults yet.

Whatever it takes to justify the craziness I suppose,

I'm not justifying it I'm simply taking issue with your inaccurate characterization thats all. Words have meaning and a charged word like pedophile really should mandate accuracy.

But sure creeper dude with money 'taking advantage of inexperienced girls who aren’t even adults yet' I agree with.

nope own it, you are ok with that guy running the doj.

If you were just calling "balls and strikes" you'd be way better. Your strike zone is 1x1 for d's and 50 x 50 for r's. that's not calling balls and strikes.

Jesus would be a horrible pick, he got mad and overturned the tables of people collecting taxes on common people for profit. 🤔 :oops:

He wants to enrich himself and his pals and stay out of jail. That's it.

You mean his concepts of plans?
