WTF?

[Socrates]

Trump's Revenge Talk Wasn't Bluster

Comb through just about any political nerd’s text chains in the last 48
hours and there is one profane piece of shorthand that likely appears
repeatedly regardless of their political affiliation: WTF?

That’s been the general reaction throughout the first full week since
Donald Trump started to form a government-in-waiting poised to deliver
on his promised grievance-settling agenda. At first, the picks were
novel, if garish.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as Secretary of State is an unexpected
choice for an incoming President who has long scorned Rubio’s neocon
worldview as folly. Neither South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as head of
Homeland Security nor former Rep. Lee Zeldin in charge of the
Environmental Protection Agency exactly comes off as an expert in the
departments they are now set to lead.

Then came the announcements of Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard. The next
President seriously wants a Fox News host as Secretary of Defense and a
longstanding Russian sympathizer as Director of National Intelligence?

Look at various Democratic appointments over the years--far from
sterling. They are normally POLITICAL appointments--not necessarily
people who are experts in that field. That would be bonus. WHy cherry
pick? His U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. is a great one--she is strongly
pro-Israel which, at the U.N., seems to be anathema.

Pete Hegseth is a Princeton grad, the author of New York Times #1
Bestseller “Battle for the American Mind,”, an Army veteran of Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, earning two Bronze Stars and a Combat
Infantryman’s Badge. He is eminently qualified for the job based on
merit and real-world achievements.

In sharp contradistinction, here's what the current administration has
come up with. Speaking of WTF:

No wonder the Dems got their asses handed to them last week.

They had it coming...in spades. Their hubris blinded them to the fact
that 10s of millions of Americans are tired of self-styled progressives
telling THEM how to think and what to do. I can feel that hatred right
up here in Canada because millions here have that feeling here, toward
the present Canadian government.
