Maybe he’s one of the few Trump appointees who actually realizes he is under-qualified. The rest of them are too stupid to realize they’re in over their heads or too malevolent to leave their token position of power.

As evidenced by the pardons to J6-ers, and “fine people on both sides”, and “Proud boys stand back and stand by” comments. Trump will use hate groups as a means to and end and he will pardon them after the fact. Complete abuse of pardon power and a low point for the USA.
So much winning!
Pre-Trump, things like this would’ve been the plot of a fiction novel. Now? He makes the unthinkable real.
The cards are in his hands, but Iran has given him no opportunity to fold, as much as he desperately wants to. Iran has a straight royal flush in Hormuz to Trump’s pair of twos (blockading the blockaders). He is trying to bluff his way to winning the pot (getting to where we were pre-war).
Absolutely correct. Virginia and California did it the right way. Legislatures from other states did it without the input of the people. State and local elections matter, but huge credit to these states for getting it on the ballot so everyone could weigh in.
In most adult daycare centers they’d probably give him an extra rice pudding for his ability to wield a sharpie and make people laugh and clap.
So tell us WSJ, are you saying that ICE in Chicago, Minneapolis and everywhere else was a good policy decision - or inconsequential? The human cost alone made targeting immigrants terrible policy.
Anyone else get the sense that whatever the worst possible policies are for the United States, Trump will be all in favor of them? Has he proposed any policies or made any decisions that benefit normal, every day people? He’s abusing the resources of this country to benefit the corporate class.
Maybe he meant “not good for me“ or “not good for Republicans”. Everyone else seems to think that California and Virginia did the right thing - so I’ll go with everyone else’s opinion.
Trump publicly calls for Powell to cut interest rates often. It is laughable to think in any meeting with a potential fed chair appointee that the discussion of interest rate cuts wouldn’t have come up. Warsh would be pressured on day one to cut interest rates. Trump would demand it.
Pardoning the one person being held accountable for these horrible crimes would be an injustice to every single victim. The fact that she’s the only one in jail (if you want to call it that) right now because Trump and the Repubs stonewall against releasing the evidence is unconscionable.
Miller’s Quote for the ages: Donald Trump Junior is one standard deviation stupider than his father.
I’ve seen bunches of asparagus with more intelligence than Donald Trump Junior.
This is like the bully being punched in the face and then running to the teacher to cry about it.
A disgrace to the Kennedy family (their words) and the enemy of anyone who is trying to get unbiased, science-based information on their health decisions. In a time where mistrust in government is high, the appointment of this charlatan is extremely dangerous.
The GOP would Gerrymander every state if they could. GOP state legislatures, guys like Mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson and a lot of other Repubs love to break rules until it works against them. They cry foul and whine because they have no good ideas to sell to voters. They cheat out of necessity.
Agreed on Buttigieg - he’s a smart guy and I actually think he’d make a great president. I doubt enough people would support him tho. I like AOC’s fire, but she may be too far left to appeal to a broad enough base. Kamala deserves a chance to prove she should be the nominee - I hope she runs.
Interesting. I didn’t follow his time as mayor of Chicago. I’ve heard him speak a few times recently, and it sounds as if he’s going to run.
I think Rahm Emanuel is the only candidate who would actually bring about reforms and do what needs to be done. Maybe Newsome, but I am not sure he has the support. That said - is RE really a viable candidate?
Those drugs certainly helped with his all time classic rant of “would I rather be eaten by a shark or drown/get electrocuted?”
What drugs does this guy take? Whatever they are, they’ve severely repressed his sense of irony but not his penchant for putting his foot in his mouth.
What Warsh is thinking:
“I’ll refuse to answer the question on account of I won’t be appointed if I answer it truthfully. But honestly, if I do believe he won the election, I probably shouldn’t be appointed either.”
I don’t like GIFs, but I’m sorry, this one is appropriate.
Doing Trump’s bidding and election denial as part of the interview process are prerequisites to even getting the nomination. The majority of the United States understands this.
Are we really surprised that election denial is a prerequisite of any candidate that is nominated by the Trump administration? Until the people asking the questions (mmhmm…Republicans) of candidates push them for a direct yes or no answer they’ll talk their way around it.
Heard him talking about his healthcare plan that’ll allow individual buyers to negotiate their own healthcare. That’s been two weeks away since 2016 and his solution is laughable with no meat on the bones to even have a discussion. So yeah, I’m not surprised what he said Friday was never true.
Who holds the cards and keverage?! Trump? Laughable! Iran will remind Trump that he has to agree to their 10 points before talks resume. Trump is caught in between Scylla (10 points that he can’t agree to) and Charybdis (flailing economy). Great job, stable genius!
Good luck with that, Kash.
Agreed, but if a proposed solution leads to the wealthy paying more in taxes, the loopholes that exist to help the wealthy *not* pay taxes need to be revisited. It seems that for every action to address funding gaps there is a reaction that undoes what it was meant to address.
