So we only want to elect poor folks who haven't accomplished anything or know much to make major decisions about the running of our economy and government.
Hum, so Trump is "accomplished" all right...accomplished at screwing people and stepping on them to advance...Ivanka is successful, uh, maybe because of daddy? Jared Kushner accomplished? Well, he got a jumpstart in business from his father Charles who, wait for it, was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and served time in federal prison. So, the Trumps and Kushners are, uh, maybe not the right people making "major decisions about the running of our economy and government", ya know?
Steven Mnuchin? Your idea of accomplished business leader? After leaving Goldman Sachs a wealthy man, he along with others (including George Soros-yeah the same evil democrat supporting Sorros) bought residential lender IndyMac renamed it OneWest and made a killing out of aggressively foreclosing on homeowners. The high foreclosure rate may have been a result of the loss sharing agreement with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC had to reimburse OneWest for losses. So, the more foreclosures, the more money from the FDIC. According to The New York Times, OneWest "was involved in a string of lawsuits over questionable foreclosures, and settled several cases for millions of dollars." Then he went to Hollywood to make movies...So, Mnuchin is a great choice for Secretary of the Treasury right? The phrase fox in charge of the hen house comes to mind.
Bannon? Was in the Navy, so good for him and his service, but then he left and worked at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department. But he left Wall Street for Hollywood where he bankrolled wing nut movies like including
Fire from the Heartland: The Awakening of the Conservative Woman,
The Undefeated, and
Occupy Unmasked. But he did invest in
Seinfeld. :~) Then he was a founding member of the board of Breitbart News. So, "accomplished"? I supposed he's "accomplished" if you want a rich-boy hate mongered who want to destroy the American government so he can rebuild it to his own liking...Good choice huh?
I won't bother mentioning Steve Miller other than to say he might be the scariest of the scary guys...
Wilber Ross? Hum...he joined with a Russian oligarch and a former KGB official to run a troubled bank in Cyprus. Say, isn't that the same bank that Paul Manafort used handle all his illicit Russian funding needs? Why, yes, I think it is...
Scott Pruit for EPA, well why not select a guy who has sued the EPA 12 times and wants to dismantle the agency to run the agency. After all, climate change is a hoax by the Chinese to make our companies less competitive!
Department of Energy? Why not select the guy who couldn't remember the name of the agency he said he wanted to close. Rick Perry didn't even know he was in charge of the nation's nuclear weapons program. He replaced a PHD scientist.
Dept of HHS? Why not hire a guy who makes money off of stock trades because of laws he enabled to pass? HUD? Why not hire a Dr who has zero administration experience? Secretary of Education a woman who had never stepped into a public school until she tried to visit a school and was barred from entering by protesters. Jeff Sessions isn't a racist, right? Rex Tillerson will be tough on his good friend Putin who gave him the Russian Order of Friendship...
And how about that Flynn guy for National Security Adviser? Oh, sorry, he got fired...hum, in the Whitehouse report I guess he forgot to report all his Russian speaking fees but that's ok, he now wants immunity for his testimony...
The only people Trump has gotten rightish are the former military people, well except for Flynn.
But if you think this group of people are anything other than a keystone cop routine, just look at the news since Trump's inauguration...oh, yeah, sorry, all those #FAKENEWS stories, right?
So, no, let's not hire "poor folks who haven't accomplished anything" even though the likelihood is they would have more honor and dedication than Trump's Rogues.
