So what?
You are going to need some people experienced in government
but his entire cabinet is not a bush cabinet retread and that was my point
JEB would have never picked Sessions as AG
I don’t even remember, sorry
I guess great minds think alike
Trump has not even been in office one minute
Jeez, can’t you Nancys give him a day first?
Maybe, I was bemoaning the mentioning earlier in the day on another thread.
Still, I’ll wait for something more official. AltLeft media has truly lost their collective minds as Trump rag dolls them back and forth.
They are like an MMA fighter who gets knocked out so severely, when they come to, they’re not sure whether to fight the ref or cling to his leg.
She will not be a federal employee, she will be an appointee. I believe there are different rule for both.
Personally, I think she’s a good pick for reasons others have stated, to keep Mitch in line. And she’s quite likely very intelligent & competent. And, I think she’s sorta cute.
Trump just keeps on proving his worth!
“JEB would have never picked Sessions as AG”
I agree with that.
The new boss is China.
Excerpts:
"Chao criticized the prosecution of Huang in the Chinagate scandal as racially motivated."
"But there’s much, much more."
"When she served the conservative Heritage Foundation as Asian studies adviser, a military analyst who sounded warnings about Chinese threats to U.S. security was shown the door, WND reported at the time."
"Does anyone even remember Chinagate? WND reported back in 2001 that a review of financial assets held by Chao and her husband, McConnell, reveals she has served as a director of an insurance company that jointly owns a Lippo Group subsidiary with the Chinese government. Indonesia-based Lippo is controlled by the Riady family and was at the center of the Clinton Chinagate fundraising scandal."
"Lippo chief executive James T. Riady agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge of defrauding the U.S. government by funneling donations to the campaign of Bill Clinton – and others."
"Senate financial-disclosure records show that Chao held a seat on the board of Protective Life Corp., which owns 50 percent of CRC Protective Life Insurance. Lippo co-owns the rest of the Hong Kong-based unit with China Resources Holdings Co., an intelligence-gathering front company for China’s People’s Liberation Army."
“The former Chinese Communist Party boss Jiang Zemin is a close family friend of Elaine Chao’s, and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has praised her father for building up China’s industry. (Shipping to and from China is the Chao family business.) Lest we forget, Jiang Zemin is the hardliner who took power following the Tienanmen Square massacre and is notorious for repressing religious minorities and Tibetans. Jiang’s been indicted for genocide and is fighting to hold on to his corrupt fiefdom in Shanghai. Some friend.”
So what has Chao been up to more recently?
Chao served on the board of directors of Bloomberg Philanthropies, the foundation started by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, another anti-Trumper who flirted with the notion of running a third-party candidacy against him. Bloomberg gives the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal” campaign $50 million a year. The objective? To end the country’s reliance on “dirty coal, plant-by-plant, community-by-community, state-by-state.” Trump promised to put the coal miners back to work.
Chao has also served on the board of Wells Fargo, which has bankrolled anti-coal efforts. Ironic since McConnell’s home state is Kentucky – coal country.
Chao was selected by Bush to head the Labor Department after his first choice, Linda Chavez, withdrew from consideration over charges she harbored an illegal alien in 1992. Chao, 63, a Taiwanese immigrant, has also served as chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission. She became director of the Peace Corps in 1991 and led the United Way of America from 1992-1996.
One thing is for certain: She won’t have any trouble getting Senate confirmation. Even her husband says he won’t abstain from voting for her."
