Draining The Swamp..

I am being honest, I called them Robber Baron's didn't I. I can't make it much planer w/o resorting to 4 letter words. As far as competency in any particular post (like ed. or env.). the appointee is expect to bring an administration compatible ideology ( name the last Env. Sec who had a science degree?) to the post. Experience is on the 3rd tier. The assistant, associate and under secretaries ad-infinitum actually do the running. A smidge of competency is nice but no way required (Janet Reno) Trump sees these peeps AS the swamp drainers (a new broom sweeps cleanest). I believe a lot of buffoonery will reveal itself in some sensitive jobs, other posts like UN. Ambassador ( Nikki Haley) can be done by anyone who can read a speech and tie their shoe laces in the morn. Others like Sessions, who I believe has a chance of not being confirmed, will no doubt turn back the clock 60 years, ( fill the prisons, national stop and frisk, blind eye to police misconduct and policing for profit, like in Ferguson, roll back gay rights, voter suppression, no knock warrants, nominating crazies to the bench and US. Attny. slots., national concealed carry all of which trump sees as draining the swamp.
Sounds like we're on the same page.

Either you are being naive, intentionally obtuse or simply cognitively dissonant. The mere act of appointing someone with no prior formal education experience to Education Secretary is defiant of draining any sort of swamp. In fact, almost every one of Trumps appointments have been in absolute defiance to that fact. You're being coy and rather transparent.

We are disagreeing, but you're not being honest.
@NLXSK1 is happy with Trumps picks. I think he needs to read this as well.
NLXSK1 does not seem very bright.

With all those cabinet appointments Trump is proposing doesn't look like he wants to drain the swamp it look more like he wants to drain your wallets instead. Bye-bye Dodd-Frank, bye-bye Fair Credit Act, bye-bye Social Security as we know it Wall Street will take care of it for you, bye-bye Medicare as we know it, it's voucher time for the peons. Hope you Trump supporters got your Vaseline ready you're about to get screwed.
