Good morning, Lakeside Granny!
I agree. I should have taken into consideration yesterday that it’s the holiday season before moving lysie to the corner. Sometimes the temptation to tyranny is hard to resist. ;-)
lysie, good morning and I hope you’ll continue snacking on lots of sweets. The extra energy can be very productive, especially for talking a lot around Democrats about our YUUUGE election WIN and how we’re already WINNING!!!! and plan to continue to do so at a fast pace. :-) Give ‘em heck!
Thank you for the link, Lakeside Granny! The following is my favorite line from the article:
“The idea for a lightning-strike bill has been percolating among Capitol Hill Republicans since long before the election, and it’s sure to provoke howls from Democrats.”
Howls from Democrats with my morning coffee! Perfection!
;-)
Good morning Pax,
You were awfully strict yesterday, poor Lysie.
There was a little discussion yesterday here about Elaine Chao as potential Transportation Secretary. I found this first hand post by SubMareener to be very interesting (thanks SM!):
Mrs. Submareener worked in Elaine Chao’s DOL. She told me that the bureaucrats were always complaining, while riding in the elevators, about her wanting “results” and how terrible that was. Actually, Mrs. Submareener was high enough up in the DOL hierarchy to be among the dozen or so who were invited to Elaine Chao’s dedication of the 9/11 memorial at the DOL HQ in Washington, DC. She also had lunch with her several times.
Mrs. Submareener is an extremely good judge of character, so when she says Elaine Chao is “good people”, it is good enough for me.
Also, catnipman made these good points on another thread: Chao is a brilliant appointment that joins the Senate Majority Leader to President Trump’s hip right from the gitgo, and nearly guarantees that Mitch delivers the entire GOP Senate to Trump on nearly every issue for four years.
Not to mention, the woman has excellent experience and credentials, and clearly has amazing political instincts and capabilities since she’s pretty much the power that’s pushed the Mitch throne into the forefront since she married him in 1993.
Also, do keep in mind that Cabinet heads exist SOLELY to carry out a President’s orders. Period. They’re like VPs in a corporation who exist solely to implement the CEO’s policy and philosophy. Their jobs are NOT to set policy and philosophy, but to IMPLEMENT policy and philosophy. They all know that when they’re appointed.
