There really isn't anyone outside of democrats in Congress.

Lone democrat on postal service board of governors quit. Of three (or is it two?) remaining at least one is another RNC big donor appointed by DT.

Did you not pay attention when the 2009 Porkulus Act got passed and who got paid? Did you not pay attention to any of Obama's cabinet?

All Presidents give executive branch gigs away as treats to their friends and benefactors. It's part of the K-Street game. Goes back to what I was saying about all Presidents being corrupt because the whole machine they are the boss of is corrupt, top to bottom.

De Vos comes from a family of long time Republican donors. The family initially supported Bush, then Fiorina, then Rubio. Trump was the 4th choice. Nonetheless, the $ raised warranted her an appointment to Trump’s cabinet.

Trump floated the idea of appointing his personal pilot to head the FAA. The trial balloon did not go over well in the Republican majority Senate so Trump ceased pushing it. The position remains unfilled.

Picking large donors and those who flatter him has not worked well for him, given the constant turnover.

He's set to destroy everything that was America. There will be no America. There hardly is an America as we used to know it.

Where did it all go wrong? I didn't always support every president but once they were elected most of us went along with them. I thought Obama was ok but who knew that hordes or crazies were lurking out there waiting to destroy our country and take over.

Either we elect a moderate who can unite us or we should split into different countries and start over.

A greedy madman who is looking to establish a dictatorship should not be president of us all. We'll keep th post office, he can use the pony express. His a 1% can krep getting richer but the rest of us should take our government back and start a new country. We might be able to join up with Canada. We could take a lot of our things with us and combine with Canada. We are not mean spirited and greedy. That is unAmerican. Leave the Trump cult behind and watch them eat their own people.alive.

OH I pay attention all right and I have never liked it but, this guy takes the cake. I think Trump is the result of everything rotten in DC.

Well, if you can’t stop mail in voting... stop the mail.

We are going to see some serious fraud from urban areas in swing states.
