A Government Of the Wealthy, By the Wealthy, and For the Wealthy

Until recently, when Felon Trump nominated him for treasury secretary, I had not heard of Scott Bessent.  How I wish that were still the case, for every damn thing that comes out of his mouth makes me dislike him a little bit more!  There is not a half-ounce of humanity in this man.

Highlights from Pete Hegseth's Confirmation Hearing for Secretary of Defense • Hegseth paid a woman to make sure she did not file a complaint of rape against him. • Hegseth refused to directly answer the question regarding being drunk at work. • In June of 2020, president Trump directed his secretary of defense, Mark Esper, to illegally shoot peaceful protesters in the leg. Esper refused. Hegseth was asked if he would comply with such an order. Hegseth evaded the question and refused to say whether he would carry out an illegal order given by the president.

Wrong Man For The Job

This week there have been a number of confirmation hearings for Felon-elect Trump’s cabinet choices.  I have not watched any of them, have read just bits and pieces, enough to know that basically none of his picks thus far are qualified in any way, shape, or form, to fulfill the duties of the position they have been nominated for.  All are just about as ignorant of those duties as is possible ……
