Can we get him to keep changing his mind after his picks resign from their previous positions? I find it pretty funny, the silver lining to the shitstorm that is him picking the worst human for each position.

Can we stop with the news articles about what Trump thinks? Jesus, are journalists in his brain? Come on.

I'm just picturing one of those episodes of M*A*S*H where they leave Frank Burns in charge.

Either way, we get a defense secretary who really loves the idea of violating the law and basic human rights when it comes to "the enemy."

Do it so he resigns, and then drop the nomination so he's out of both positions.

You can take away his titles... but you can never take away his fancy boots and his deep love of thigh food.

It's a revolving door filled with scumbags.

I wish it was a revolving blender.

This old Shitfisher took his bagpipes down to the river and he played his pipes in hopes that the sh*tfish would rise up out of the water. But not one shitfish rose, Julian. So he took a shitnet and threw it in the river and, lo, soon he drew it forth filled with shitfish. Then he took his bagpipes and then he played them again and all the shitfish jumped up in the shitnet. 'Oh, you dance now when I play,' said the Shitfisher. And then the little old shitfish spoke up in the end and he said, 'when you're in a man's power, you must do as he bids you.' Shitnets, Julian, and Shitpower.

Shit puppets. The lot of 'em.

This is an improvement, right?

Sure, in that a 5 on the stool chart is an improvement over diarrhea. Still isn’t ideal.
