From what I've seen so far, none of his nominees have any "qualifications" for the jobs they've been nominated for Rhiannon12866 Jan 16 #2

Are the outrageous nominees T Rump is putting forth just show ponies? Trust_Reality Jan 16 #3

Excellent point. However, their loyalty to TFG indicates they're predisposed to follow his "orders." Rhiannon12866 Jan 16 #4

Nicolle asked him if Garland should drop the Nauta, DeOliveira cases to get to see the documents report and Schiff said he doesn't want to give Republicans a win.

Nicolle told him they will never go to trial. WTF, I am at a loss. I am hearing that some Democrats may vote for Trump's nominees, Coons for one.

Except, of course, the only "qualification" TFG cares about, loyalty to him. Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi were particularly offensive to Democratic senators during the questioning. Marco Rubio, not as much.

Will there be unscreened people behind the scenes actually running some of the departments?

Despite his lack of knowledge, he wants to run everything according to his wishes. He is very poor at delegating to those more qualified than he'll ever be.
