    It’s not like he has much choice. Sane, reasonable people aren’t exactly raising their hands at this point and the only people clamoring for roles are batshit quasi-politicians who have similar contempt for any institution that has a basis formed in reality but wildly different agendas

    Edit: dunno why you downvoted me. Honestly, who else do you think would take these positions? Pence? Kelly? Barr? Mattis? Haley? Christie? Tillerson? Milley? Bolton? Scaramucci? Cohen? DeVos? Chao? Grisham? … Bueller? Dude’s a fucking joke. Take the wooden spatula and start scraping that barrel out because there’s absolutely nothing but sludge

        Saner than Oz and willing to work with Trump?

        I find that hard to believe.

        And those saner people handed Trump Thune instead of Scott via blind vote. They know what’s up. Like I said, sane people do not want to be in his administration. They want to babysit his administration. Nothing good comes from befriending that guy and everyone on Earth who doesn’t believe in hurricane machines knows that, even GOP.

        Practically the only people who are around Trump are riding his coattails for their own reasons and they have no qualms about it

      They’re obviously being picked for their deviceveness. Not really sure what the endgame is other than to spread fear, anger, and uncertainty. Some strategists is coming up with these picks for some reason.

        It’s a way for him to test people’s loyalty. Anyone who doesn’t vote to confirm his insane picks is going to be ousted by the rest of the party.

        deviceveness

        Deviousness? It’s what autocorrect suggested the moment I started typing the word.

          I I misspelled it, it should have been divisiveness, “a tendency to provoke dissension or discord”

          deviousness, “The characteristic of being devious; sneakiness; underhandedness.”
