Or he could nominate people with experience in labor rights to the Department of Labor, or somebody who has actually served in the Foreign Service as Secretary of State. Or somebody who knows what the Department of Energy does to the Secretary of Energy. The biggest problem is that Trump's nominees don't have high-level experience for the jobs they are being asked to perform.

At least we've dispelled your first claim--that he's relying solely upon members of the "establishment" (undefined).

Sure, you can take a few pokes at these three people because they don't meet YOUR OWN standards. I don't even need to point out the obvious comparison to the qualifications (?) of, say, Hillary Clinton, who was given the job of Secretary of State as a consolation prize for not being the Dem nominee for president and who later was said by the Democratic Party to have been the most qualified candidate in history because of it!.

The point remains that sweeping generalizations usually are incorrect; and that definitely applies to the post I replied to.

The right faced as much 'oppression' from Obama as the left will from Trump. For those of us who support neither Republicans nor Democrats, neither Trump nor Obama, who spent years warning you leftists who were totally fine with Obama abusing the system for the 'right reasons...' Well, I can only speak for myself, but if they're like me, they must be experiencing a mixture of schadenfreude and disbelief. Schadenfreude at the liberals finally getting a taste of what the conservatives experienced for eight years, and disbelief in your inability to admit that neither identity politics nor allowing Obama to run around willy-nilly were good ideas.

Sure, Rome may still be burning, but at least we brought s'mores and hotdogs this time around.

It must be so liberating to support nothing; only oppose...

No, you're still not understanding me. I'm ok with the haters because they're not the group I want in control anyways. Their opinion is not what matters to me. At all. I want to see all these ridiculous PC regulations thrown in the garbage for example. Hillary Clinton, George Soros, The Rothschilds, The Trilateral Commission, and the like need to go down. This is an anti establishment movement. If everyone got along with Trump, I would exspect he wasn't doing what he was hired to do: Drain The Swamp. But all the craziness prove that he is in fact stepping on allot of toes in Whasington that I do not even want in power anyways.

Trump is part of that establishment, and he's putting more establishment people in power than ever before.

What is your definition of "establishment"?

In this case, the Republican National Party.

Remember that, boys and girls -- Whatever he may have been before, he's the face of the government establishment now. Everything he says and does from his election on is with the GOP's approval and support.

I suggest that there should be no more "Trump said this," or "Trump did that"... Now it's "The Republicans did this," "The Republicans said..."

They nominated him, they backed him, they support him... let them share the glory... or the blame.

Certainly avoids the risk of having your pet ideas being shown not to work. If you never get to try them out there's no pesky evidence that show they might be wrong.

Are you are suggesting "you leftists who were totally fine with Obama abusing the system for the 'right reasons..." is so broad as to encompass the majority of the Democrats?

I don't know. I have no idea who the rant was addressed to - your whole post went off the rails pretty quickly. Given that it didn't address anything I wrote or anything on topic to the thread who knows?

Not as clear as posting a paint brush ad from Amazon, I suppose.

I think it's pretty clear from my last post who it was addressed to: those on the left who spent the last eight years defending Obama doing exactly what they're upset that Trump is doing now.

yes because much of the left are hypocrites, the moment Obama was elected, the anti-war protestors got very silent, tell me where were they during our covert actions in the Arab Spring? tell me where were they in all these drone strikes that Obama did say more than Bush? tell me where was the left with continue NSA wiretapping and evesdroping under Barry Soetoro? where were they as he intervened in Libya? What about sending troops to Uganda? Attempting to overthrow his excellency President Assad? What about his continuation of the Patriot Act? His support of the Uniates & fascists in Ukraine? His santctions on third Rome(Russia)? Where was the left, that right much of the left is for democracy building, a wilsonian foreign policy, expanding NATO to Russia borders, expanding LGBT imperialism against Orthodox nations, and Third World nations under the guise of "gay rights". Much of the left are hypocrites, so yes the broad brush does apply this time.
