My exact thought as well. Why tease us with Bolton when he’s not on the list.

I wish them all well.

I also predict that within a year, half of them will publically second-guess or denounce some Trump policy and thus become media darlings-for-a-day. Especially the guy going to Germany (you talk about deep-state, he’s about 3 decades worth).

“I just think it could be devastating for the space program. Obviously, being from Florida, I’m very sensitive to anything that slows up NASA and its mission,” Rubio told POLITICO.

Mr. Small Hands sure kept his mouth shut for the eight years of Obama when NASA did everything but its mission.

What a tool.

Richard Grenell, the nominee for the Ambassador to Germany position , is the man in the middle of the photo with the coffee cup. Townhall could have chosen a different photo of Grenell.

In other words you are buying what Politico writes.

I don't.

The special election to replace Marino here in Pa. should be a cake walk for Republicans. Marino won reelection with over 70% of the vote and the district is heavily Republican and pro Trump. Of course the national media will build it up as a possible gain for Democrats but that won’t happen.

Good to see at least a few subcabinet posts being filled. There was some comment post-Harvey about the extraordinary turnout of cabinet secretaries to show support. That led to considerable chuckling among people who understood that the cabinet secretaries were going to Houston because most of them are still virtually the only Trump appointees with rank and stature in place in their departments. I like Ben Carson as much as anyone, but he doesn’t have superpowers and he can’t be in more than one place at one time. This administration simply must fill its slots, or most agencies will remain in caretaker mode for the duration. If the goal is to roll back the role of the federal government and devolve many functions to states and cities, we need change agents, not caretakers, across the Leviathan.

Are all of these positions necessary? And look at some of those titles - I may not be the smartest guy on the block but what the heck is the “Administrative Conference of the United States?”

Basically a talk shop for all cabinet departments and agencies with any regulatory functions. Can be used to try to get folks on the same page. Scalia once headed it. The chair usually has some other government office
Scalia is quoted as saying “best bargain for the buck in government”

That guy behind Bolton with the open shirt collar and cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee - he looks just like a sales rep that I work with.

“Sen. Marco Rubio and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, both of Florida, say a politician should not have the lead role in the country’s space program.”
Guess what Marco, a politician should not be a U.S. Senator, either. That’s a job for a Patriot!

How about Little Marco? Anyone who can say the following after NASA’s role in the global warming debacle needs to leave government: ...NASA and its mission,” Rubio told POLITICO. “It’s the one federal mission which has largely been free of politics...”

Just get the judgeships filled out and I’ll be happy.

(About NASA)

“It’s the one federal mission which has largely been free of politics...”

Really? REALLY???

You mean like global warming fruitcake James Hansen, who when W. Bush offered to replace him, all the staff at NASA/GISS had to threaten to quit to show their loyalty to him?
