I’d be willing to bet that DeVos is a name he’s heard before in Minnesota, given its right next to her home state. Plus, her brother founded and ran Blackwater, so the lib’s on the panel must think she’s the spawn of Satan.
I haven’t watched any of these political farces, except for a few snippets linked to an article. But, one thing I can get from all of them, except for Pompeo, Trump’s picks, coming from the private sector don’t have time for the bullshit. For people like Tillerson, time is money. And doing your job is the only thing that matters.
And time wasted, answering dumbass questions from some of these clowns, means that you can’t get on with the business of making things better. Same thing for Mattis. He expects results and direct answers to situations. Not some political gobbledygook that takes 10 minutes to say nothing.
Problem is, for the appointees, they’re probably looking at the politicians knowing they couldn’t get a job in the real world, handing out obama phones. They probably look at them with such disgust and disdain, knowing that these are the people that have been running this country into the ground for decades. The days of politicians going there to do good for the people started declining in the 60’s and its been a downward spiral since.
They have no power other than the power of the microphone. So they have to do candidate damage for the future.
Don’t know how it will end up, but it wouldn’t bother me a bit if she’s rejected. As far as I know she has no leadership experience and is probably the most political employee Trump has nominated.
Amway is in Grand Rapids
Did I miss some other connection
Central Michigan is Great Lakes upper Midwest
Minnesota is the beginning of the west to me
I mean they had Sioux plains nomadic Indians whereas Michigan was Huron shaved head longhouse Hurons
Saying Grand Rapids is right next door is like saying Atlanta is right next door to St Louis or Dallas
It’s almost 600 miles
I’m southerner hard core but Michiganders and Minnesotans are pretty diff
Michigan has a lot of rednecks
Minnesota ...farmers
