(224,283 posts)Rachel Maddow went through his picks last night. They're friends, relatives, friends of relatives or those he saw on TV - none of them qualified for the job they're nominated for.

(224,283 posts)Just as he pardoned several of his cronies who were guilty as hell - just like he is. There ought to be a law against convicted felons serving in our government - oh wait...

(224,283 posts)His only qualification is "loyalty" - and he now wants to prosecute members of the J6 Committee who held him to account for his crimes as part of their duties as Congressional Reps.

(224,283 posts)I wasn't ready in 2016 when I was confident that my more-than-qualified former senator was about to become our first female president - rather than this creepy guy who kept insulting her, war hero John McCain and our sitting president, Barack Obama. Who would vote for that?? And now that he's a convicted felon who attempted to overthrow the government, which disqualified him from even running for public office, who would vote for that?? So I'm blindsided once again.
