:smack: You can’t make this shit up.
These people are genuinely, indisputably mentally ill.
That doesn’t mean they’re not also taking orders from Putin.
Does it have tiny little tarsi?
The NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL transition is heading for disaster.
Almost no appointments have been announced. We have Michael Flynn at the top and then a bunch of empty boxes.
This org chart is essentially empty:

You can skip the first 9 and a half minutes to get to the meat.
As bad as DeVos, Tillerson et. al., are, this situation is far worse and far more serious.
NY Times - Trump National Security Team Gets a Slow Start
It’s not funny anymore. This is critical stuff and it’s not getting done.
Sean Spicer, Trump’s press secretary, decided to use the occasion of his first press conference to pimp Trump’s hotel.
When asked why there are no Latinos in Trump’s cabinet, Spicer said because the cabinet only includes “the best and the brightest”.
Vladimir Putin. Glad!!! Now must turn over Moose and Squirrel.
That victory tour was time well spent.
Looks like the Trump administration is considering eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities and privatizing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
He Who Must Not be Named has chosen pastor Robert Jeffress to give the prayer at his inauguration. Jeffress thinks Mormons and Catholics are going to hell as Satanists, and gay people are perverted child molesters.
I understand the notion that he is not going to succumb to PC cabinet quotas but if he is looking for the best and brightest, then… where are all the Asians? 
I mean he is replacing actual scientists with Rick Perry to run an organization full of scientists. As much as I like Rick Perry (in a “he’s relatable and I’d have a beer with him” sorta way), I don’t think I would call him the best and brightest. Its not that the secretary of energy has always been a scientist but “best and brightest” does not seem to be the determinative factor?
Oh, that ought to go over well with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Of the 690 positions requiring Senate confirmation, 28 have been named.
Problem: There aren’t 662 more billionaires in the USA.
“Not the best and brightest”? Man you can’t tell the difference between Rick Perry and a human you could have a beer with!?
“Not the best and brightest”? He thought the job he was up for was as an ambassador to the oil industry. He couldn’t remember the name of it 4 years ago, now he doesn’t know what they do.
It sounds like you are a republican and just trying to save some kind of face, with little touchups and mascara.
I would expect Trump to be quite jealous of Rick Perry, because, for all his many faults and failings, Rick has great hair. That should disqualify him for a cabinet position. Or else there needs to be a rule that he and Trump cannot ever appear in the same picture.
Sounds like this guy is going to give Nixon’s Press Secretary Ron Ziegler a run for the money in the Doublespeak department.
Trump’s nominees are basically the villains from Captain Planet, except Dr. Blight believed in science.
Today, January 19, the day before he becomes president, Trump’s team has asked 50 current senior Obama administration officials to stay on. At least three have said no.
