During Chao's first four years as Secretary of Labor, OSHA did not promulgate a single significant health standard.[24]

I work in Logistics, DOT has been out of control under O. Sound like Chao is just want we need at DOT.

So how about we base our thinking going forward on facts rather then continue to cling to hurt feelings left over from the Primaries?

Maybe when the zot vigilantes give it a rest.

When we are being zotted after the election because we are insufficiently in awe of Donald Trump, we are hardly in an atmosphere where we can proceed "forward on facts."

Every time I post I have to look over my shoulder. If the forum remains in campaign mode, you will never get to operate on facts. Indeed, you will never get to operate on opinion, a glaring omission in a forum of opinion, because you will only get propaganda.

We cannot base our thinking going forward on facts when those facts are judged on a subjective scale. What was essential in the primary season is now of no consequence? This is not to do with hurt feelings, this has to do with finding solid philosophical ground and an honest standard of measurement.

I agree with the premise of your statement, obvious sarcasm of it aside.

So let's apply some facts and logic, shall we?

Mitch McConnell = NO FRIEND OF TRUMP.

Appointment of Chao is a SOP to McConnell (again, no friend of TRUMP.)

This smacks of BUSINESS AS USUAL, which is NOT what Trump was elected to continue.

Hurt feelings? No. Logic and reason, yes.
