Is dreaming about the photo ops. She was chosen for the job because her heart is laden with hate. She has no desire to help humans but less desire to be put in a bad light when not helping others. Ya have to be a freaking magician to operate as a Republican. Instead of just doing your job to the best of your ability.

I cannot think of one TFG appointment who is remotely qualified for their job. And the fault also lies with Senate Republicans who voted to confirm every one of them.

I was so very surprised at the incredible support trumps band of criminal nominees got from gop senators. And Dems as well. The original choice for VA Secretary got fired for saying nice things about VA employees. A happy person could not do what trump has done and is doing. Even accidentally. Never happen.

Those cowardly Republicans in Congress are putting all of us in danger but all they care about is keeping their jobs.
