Seriously?

Re: Trump Staff Picks

They indicate he is serious about pursuing his campaign promises. It is also impressive that he is making timely and decisive choices, sooner than most president elects. I am very pleased with Sessions. All presidents promise to stop the flood over the border. Nudge nudge wink wink. Sessions is serious about it.

How'd that work out for ya?

Re: Trump Staff Picks

Pretty much this.

They think that because Donald knows some homos and had one very powerful and rich one support him that he will be cool with homos being married.

But he will play directly to his base and will slam the homos the minute he thinks it will shore up the mid-terms.

Just wait to see how ugly he and his Republican party can make it.

Tomorrow's winning numbers, please and thankyou.

Obviously he wants diversity in his Cabinet.

Seriously?

Cut him some slack. He's out of practice with lying. Generally, it takes members of this Administration a few weeks to get enough practice lying to do it with ease.

Re: Trump Staff Picks

^ Funnily enough, he actually did get his facts straight. They just happened to turn out to be the opposite off Trump's facts.

Sudden Departure Of White House Global Health Security Head Has Experts Worried
Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer is among the departures since John Bolton became head of the National Security Council.

Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, the head of global health security on the White House’s National Security Council, left the Trump administration on Tuesday. The news was announced one day after an Ebola outbreak was declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The departure comes amid a reshuffling of the NSC under John Bolton, which includes a change in organizational structure that eliminates the office Ziemer led. Ziemer’s staff has been placed under other NSC leaders.

^ I'm sure that he was a threat to Bolton.

This might be a good time for Bolton to make a visit to the Congo.

Re: Trump Staff Picks

His departure announcement came on the same day as a new Ebola outbreak was announced.

Apparently Ronny won't be returning as Trump's personal physician.

Trump just gained 60 pounds and got 3 inches shorter.

......And developed a list of medical complaints (diagnoses) at least compatible with an obese 72 yo male who has lived on the edge.....and a fair psychiatric evaluation for a malignant narcissist.

Why is it that at least dozens of professional psychologists and psychiatrists are sounding the alarm about POTUS' erratic, unpredictable behaviors.... Malignant narcissism, borderline personality disorder (my assessment) and possible dementia, and Ronny Jackson says POTUS is a very healthy, smart guy, at least before being promised the VA position? Why was the office of POTUS' civilian physician raided, and all DJT's medical records confiscated? Well, it's a rhetorical question. For Trump supporters out there, "rhetorical" means a question asked for emphasis rather than seeking a predetermined answer.

Re: Trump Staff Picks

Kelly Sadler...."John McCain is dying, anyway." Sarah Sanders says it was in staff meeting. so it's cool. So was the "shithole" country remark by POTUS. Off the record. Doesn't count? I submit it is not coincidental that this many damaged people are drawn to Trump, and he to them. They see an incapacity for human empathy in one another. A demonic, evil bond. When I was in school, I learned that being without the milk of human kindness was the hallmark of psychopathology. People who are so dedicated to pushing an agenda (albeit flawed) forward that they will say and do anything I guess is understandable. But to FEEL and believe that nothing else matters...To thrive on and celebrate the misfortune and suffering of others, is beyond the pale. Trump and his band of thieves are a bunch of sick motherfuckers. I am rededicated to the vital importance of turning the tide of ignorance and cruelty through bring sanity and compassion back to our government at the midterms. Please commit. Act.

Re: Trump Staff Picks

^ I read about that this afternoon. Then I read this just this afternoon:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Friday declined to condemn comments made by a special assistant to President Donald Trump dismissing Sen. John McCain's opinion during a closed-door meeting because, she said, "he's dying anyway."

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters she would not comment on an internal staff meeting, but said that Kelly Sadler, the aide in question, remains a White House staffer.

Why Trump's new CDC director is an abysmal choice [CNN]

After the last CDC director had to resign because she had purchased a bunch of stocks in cigarette manufacturers, Trump has managed to dig up a new CDC director with a shady past of involvement with anti-gay evangelical groups. This guy is being paid more than almost every Federal government employee.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a new boss, Dr. Robert Redfield, who ignited controversy because of his dubious qualifications for the job and the over-the-top salary offer that came with it. Initially slated to earn $375,000 a year, Redfield faced questions from Democrats, led by Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, and last week agreed to work for $209,700 instead....

Redfield's boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar makes only $175,300, and most scientists and physicians working in HHS make less than $170,000 a year....

Redfield's early engagement with the AIDS epidemic in the US in the 1980s and 90s was controversial. As an Army major at Walter Reed Medical Institute, he designed policies for controlling the disease within the US military that involved placing infected personnel in quarantine and investigating their pasts to identify and track possible sexual partners. Soldiers were routinely discharged and left to die of AIDS, humiliated and jobless, often abandoned by their families.

In the 1980s Redfield worked closely with W. Shepherd Smith, Jr. and his Christian organization, Americans for a Sound AIDS/HIV Policy, or ASAP. The group maintained that AIDS was "God's judgment" against homosexuals, spread in an America weakened by single-parent households and loss of family values.

Rise from one-time Uber driver to chief of staff startles some HUD observers [CNN]

A key staff change at the Department of Housing and Urban Development is again shining a spotlight on what some HUD insiders and former senior staff say is a notable lack of government, policy and relevant experience in some key positions at the agency...

CNN's review of Hughes' prior experience and employment as listed on his financial disclosure form found that, just eight months before joining HUD, Hughes worked as a special projects coordinator for the University of Texas System and briefly as an Uber driver...

"I don't have a sense Carson has surrounded himself with enough knowledgeable people from discussions I've had with career staff and some of the political staff," said a former HUD senior adviser on rental assistance during the Obama administration who asked for anonymity because they currently work for a non-partisan organization working on HUD-related issues.

Might I ask an abysmally stupid question? Does 'the swamp' that Trump is supposed to be draining refer to the White House coffers?
