Great post, and that's coming from one of the rightfully targeted shrill lefties. I look at it as that last bloody battle before the peace treaty is signed. Nobody ever wants to die in the last battle of the war, but unfortunately there is always a last battle.to be fair, some of the more unhinged on the right would have wanted a similar piece of art depicting Obama and company
Assuming Trump remains in office, the shrillness of the left is going to be just as ridiculous as that from the World Net Daily crowd during Obama's administration.
It's no longer enough when you have philosophical differences with someone and just agree to disagree. Now, both sides fight like schoolyard punks.
Now go find some Twitter feeds to post or laugh at someone losing their job.
President Donald Trump plans to nominate his longtime campaign aide Sam Clovis to head science at the US Department of Agriculture, despite the fact that Clovis lacks a background in science and a congressional rule maintains that the role must be filled "from among distinguished scientists."
Clovis, who has been serving as senior White House adviser to the USDA since Trump took office, has a background as an economics professor and a former talk radio host, but he has no formal background in the hard sciences. The White House announced Trump's plans to nominate Clovis Wednesday night.
Hmm..Daily Beast editor tweeting misogynistic statements that would even make Trump blush...and silence from the left. Surprising!

And others calling her a lesbian as a slur....Silly demotards..this is why you lost!
Then he can explain it to us. In 2008 my wife's insurance came through The University of Georgia. I don't remember the exact cost but her part was still in the thousands per year. I don't know how he was getting decent insurance for $240 per year unless his employer was extremely generous. Since he said he was making less than 50K i don't think he had an executive policy. So I say again, if in 2008 you could buy a decent insurance policy for $240 per year we would never have passed ACA.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - 10h
So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillary's crimes and Russia relations?
***********************************
Trump just called his own Attorney General "beleaguered" and publicly questioned his job performance. Of all the bizarre tweets he has sent, this is the most difficult to understand. Why doesn't he just fire him? Sessions has recused himself from the Russia investigation so there should be no concerns over obstruction of justice. If he doesn't think Sessions is doing an effective job, why is Sessions still the Attorney General? And why publicly challenge him anyway? What does he gain by doing that? Sessions has been loyal and campaigned very hard for Trump last year when nobody else in the Senate would. It makes no sense.
Trump is completely unqualified for the office he holds, so it's not surprising that he's picked a bunch of completely unqualified people for administration posts. I'm sure Ivanka and Jared will make America great, and the Trump party planner who now heads the biggest HUD region in the country. And on and on it goes....and we wonder why this administration is completely incompetent and dysfunctional.
A person's actual credentials mean nothing when it comes to his appointments. It's all about politics with Trump. It's very much in line with this appointment:
Secretary of the Department of Energy - Rick Perry: a career politician who has no background as a scientist and advocated the elimination of this department during the 2012 Presidential campaign.
The previous Secretary of the Department of Energy was Ernest Moniz, who is a nuclear physicist with both a MS and PhD from Stanford University with prior experience working as CEO for the Nuclear Threat Initiative (a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to prevent catastrophic attacks with weapons of mass destruction and disruption - including nuclear, biological, radiological and cyber) and also served as Associate Director for Science in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President of the United States from 1995-1997 and was also the Under Secretary of Energy from 1997-2001. His resume is very typical of past Secretaries of the Dept. of Energy.
Way to step right into the "but, but, but TRUMP" pitfall I was discussing earlier.
Name me a President that hasn't used politics or personal relationship to appoint their Cabinet.

I don't recall any politician at any level practicing this much nepotism.
There was one hope that I think many of us thought he'd follow through with - getting the best to surround him.
Tillerson and Mattis were the only two hires he remotely came close with and then hamstrung Tillerson's hires through partisan fuqery. I don't know why anyone would consider joining the clown show at this point. Sessions is a beta for not telling trump to shove it, maybe Sessions needs the income?
JFK (with Robert as Attorney General) is the only one I can think of but his credentials were certainly stronger than Kushner's.
I would say that Mattis and Kelly are the only two appointments which seem strong to me.... and maybe Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.
