        According to @propublica "At least 187 Trump political appointees have been federal lobbyists". So not surprising at all. https://www.propublica.org/article/what-we-found-in-trump-administration-drained-swamp-hundreds-of-ex-lobbyists-and-washington-dc-insiders …

        Lol. A former excutive from one of the biggest defense contractors in the world, and a company who essentially exists off government welfare, is going to run the Defense Department. That's almost cartoonish.

        It just never stops, all our top posts filled with the least qualified people. The tangerine terror is determined to drive this country to extinction.

        Trump goes from General Mag Dog Mattis to a zero! Shanahan has no Military and/or Foreign Affairs Experience! Would you let a person with no medical or surgical experience take your tonsils or perform open heart surgery?!?

        Wanting and willing to work for Donald Trump is in and of itself disqualifying of being appointed and confirmed to anything.

        Instead of Patrick Shanahan becoming the Secretary of Defense, how about nominating a career military general from the #Pentagon with years of combat experience under his/her belt? #NationalSecurity Robert Morton, author https://ciacaseofficercorypearson.blogspot.com/
