Are they looking for sycophantic candidates?
The first that pledges allegiance to Trump is in.

You know how for everything that Trump does or say, someone finds him saying or doing the exact opposite?

Climate change is no exception.

I guess it is because his opinions change with the wind and depending on the last person to whom he spoke.

But I'd like the way his own words are so often used to undo him and restore the balance.

I think I'm a little bit in love with Macron shame he isn't taller. See here.... at least he is standing up to Trump and giving him a poke unlike TM.

Some constitutional lawyers have been burning the midnight oil. Interesting point, by the way, about the 'qualification' of privilege.

Thanks, Ginger.

Macron - the anti-Trump:

cozietoesie · 03/06/2017 14:28

Recommendation from a Fox commentator that they should 'remove the President's tweeting machine and hide it inside the fridge'. (I may be paraphrasing very slightly.) Well - I can't think of any way that that or a similar action could be presented to 45 in a way that was acceptable to him so: Good luck with that.

Not only is the job a poisoned chalice but the nominee has to be cleaner than squeaky clean and manage to be confirmed by an increasingly troubled lot of people. Maybe they'll find someone.

Maybe.

lionheart · 03/06/2017 14:53

There is always someone. It might take some time and no doubt they will be about as qualified as the other appointees.

To be fair, I was going to post something about qualifications but then I remembered............... Grin

Yes, Planet Trump is indeed a peculiar place:

Trump said of the phantom tax bill.

Sounds more like a Phantom Menace than a bill.
