      There should be minimum requirements for these positions instead of the president appointing whoever the fuck he wants. For example, the secretary of health should have expertise in health. The attorney general should be a lawyer.

        That seems like a good tenet, but it goes against my presumption that I could do a better job than these idiots without that expertise. I could overcome that feeling to be pragmatic about enacting such a requirement, but then we would still end up with someone like Mehmet Oz or Phil McGraw as health secretary.

      Well he made sure it’s not functional by filling every single to position to people that are completely incapable of being more evolved than a sophomore frat boy.

      All we hear are stories of them getting drunk as hell, totally fucking up their job, and now disappearing.

      I would make a much better FBI director. Even the idiot magats that get interviewed by TYT would be.

      The photo that gets constantly mocked of him is entirely accurate to his level of intelligence. There is no deeper awareness than “shlorp daddy’s mushroom”. None at all.

      When he finally dies I hope it’s absolutely humiliating and painful. And that photo better be at his almost empty funeral.
