[they are doing it for the country.]

They built their net worth, now they are building their legacy, which means they’ll do their best to leave their mark in history.

Funny that its coming from the Washington Post whose owner has more wealth than all Trumps cabinet combined. This rich bating seems to be pointed in the wrong direction.

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip.

Auberge de Soleil, rated in the top 10 of it’s kind in the USA.

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Good. About time we have a cabinet of private sector people who know how to make money and the value of a dollar.

I thought I saw a thread or an article somewhere a few months ago. The dems are more wealthy in general than the rebids in congress.

I had a co=worker complain about how rich the new administration in the States is turning out to be.

I asked him how many jobs he had gotten from poor people.

He hasn’t spoken to me since. ;-Þ

The Washington Post can’t figure out why Trump would pick rich people. Rich people is all they can see, and Obama tried to teach the nation to hate rich people.

Clue to anyone listening at the WP.

Hard to believe, but rich people know how business is conducted. They have made riches for themselves, and know how to create wealth for others.

Only the Washington Post would suggest poor people should be figuring out how to run the nation.

We had Obama for eight years! How did that work out?

Talent, you idiots, that’s why Trump is picking them.

The Washington Post needs about 250 seeing eye dogs. Blind as a freaking bat, and there really isn’t anything to compare them too in the brains department. No other living entity is that stupid.

Sorry bats everywhere...

You think they’d give class warfare a rest since Hitlery’s criminal activity made her a billionaire.

Oh wait, that’s fake news. All Clinton scandals and crimes are fake news.

People do realize that the first few presidents of the United States were in the tiny sliver of the wealthy elite of the nation like Trump is right?

“If Mr. Trump is leaving God out of his appointment decisions. . .all is for naught!”

What makes you think he is?

He may well be praying and talking to God and getting guidance, he is just not making public announcements about it.

Yes, how has it worked out having a bunch of political hacks who couldn’t run a lemonade stand?
The MSM doesn’t think merit should have anything to do with a cabinet appt, to them and the Dims it ought to be a checklist of diversity boxes, period.

Isn’t that the truth.

Never underestimate the Left.

After eight years of worse than failure, we went way backwards, the media wants us to adopt the Left’s play book.

As you say, don’t pick competent. Pick the affirmative action degrees. As long as their hatred of America is in strong standing, they’re perfect.

Felonies, misdemeanors, abuse of office, they can’t spot these things from two inches away. So yes, these are the folks to surround yourself with. Just as the current _resident.

Nope. Trump is picking people with know-how.

Man it’s great to have a leader in charge again.

Better than a poor, inept weasel out of Illinois putting together a cabinet to enrich all of his friends.
