Refugees entering U.S. doubled in rate since ruling on Trump travel ban

Funny just about every Republican has praised Trump's choices even John McCain who has been a big critic of Trump. I don't think you know what you are talking about.

Trump's cabinet picks are the one area where I constantly praise him, and nobody has been more critical of the man than I am. DeVos wouldn't have been my pick for SOE but the rest are simply ideal to me.

I'm not a Democrat.

I don't need anyone to tell me some of the nominees are unqualified. They are. For gosh sakes, he picked as Secy of Energy the guy who wanted to abolish the entire department. And DeVos? Tillerson. Others.

Paying back favors, I guess.

Payback. Yeah, I guess that's it. :roll:

Or, the President of the United States believes they are supremely qualified to carry out the mission voters placed him in office to undertake.

I get those clutching on to the status quo have been told to panic, and I get those on the left side of the aisle are trying to figure out what to do given their diminishing prospects. Even their MSM partners are in panic mode and working overtime.

However, the President gets to decide who is qualified, and the circus the left is presenting is doing more harm to them than any good they could possibly hope for.

Colin Powell, who you deemed to be qualified, also had no legal background. He had an MBA from George Washington University and never saw a minute's time in the courtroom or addressing legal matters.

Powell IS A great LIAR.
I recall Powell's speech before the UN in February, 2003, which I watched as it was televised LIVE.
When Powell whipped out the diagrams of the 'mobile chemical weapons labs' & verbalized all of his LIES all I could think about was when I watched Clinton LYING his azz off on LIVE television in August, 1998.
I find it quite interesting that no matter which party (Dems/Reps) comes into the White House all we ever get is BS lies ...............

Now, we have this azzhat Trump guy & folks like Flynn that are gonna, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." :lamo

LYING is great ....... geesh .................. but that's how we run America ................

He had extensive military experience, leadership experience, experience with the terrorist groups around the world (at least knew who they were), and government experience. He had been on the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Dept of Defense (where no doubt he had picked up considerable information about treaties and relations with other countries). He had been involved in the Persian Gulf War. He was unanimously confirmed. No question about his qualifications, by both major parties.

So in other words, legal experience isn't necessary, contrary to you making a commentary about a lack of legal experience.
 
we need to clean house at the state department and get rid of as many career liberals as possible while trump is in office

Well, the HUD pick isn't qualified either, according to himself.

Meaning he will not be a business-as-usual career Washington insider

In which case he might make the department better
