Trump's Cabinet picks are not normal. Will they be appointed anyway? - Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times ^ | November 19, 2024 3 AM PT | Anita Chabria

Hello and happy Tuesday. There are 62 days until President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in, and today we’re talking about keeping things normal.

Normal, of course, is subjective. As anyone who’s getting ready to attend a Thanksgiving dinner knows, often families can’t even agree on what normal looks like. My own Ohio grandmother used to make lobster in aspic for our special meal. Her Depression-era upbringing made her believe it was the height of fancy-pantsy, but it still gives me nightmares.

When it comes to Trump’s Cabinet picks, most of them so far are anything but ordinary.

“Normally, you let the president get his team, put his team in place,” said Sarah Binder, a professor of political science at George Washington University. “But these are pretty big, bold statements by Trump that he is going to go for vengeance and to destroy the deep state.”

Those anything-but-routine picks upend another normal: the confirmation process.

Traditionally, the Senate would hold hearings to vet nominations — and it may for uncontroversial picks, such as North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to head the Interior Department.

But today, we’ll look at three of those Cabinet choices who all have, to put it too politely, sex baggage weighing them down.

What’s not normal is that this isn’t even their biggest problem. Let’s take a closer look at how low the bar has sunk for abnormal.

The voters voted against your definition of "normal," Anita, in case you hadn't noticed.

Normal to the LA Slimes would be disease ridden LBQRSTUV deviants like Bidet* chose.

“Normal” for the last 34 years has sucked.

What’s been “normal” over most of my lifetime is the national debt increasing by trillions of dollars each year.

Maybe we don’t want “normal”.

So..... If some of the men that President Trump has picked were to put on a bright dress and steal other people’s luggage, then they would be “normal” to the Drive By Media.

Clinton was President. Monica was unelected. And no one ever seemed to care.

Normal? The "normal" people that have been in place failed their SEVENTH Pentagon audit.

We don't want "normal" ... we want COMPETENT.

Amen, your post is absolutely right. We want the traitors aka Swamp drained. Tribunals are also wanted with justice meted out swiftly in public.

And here we see two of Biden’s “normal” appointments.

(Sorry to spring that picture on those with a weak stomach.)
