The very "Best people" - criminals, incompetents, and criminally incompetents.

He said he would have the "very best people" and that he would never have time to golf. He would be in the White House all the time.

Rachel Maddow has a huge list of people that have already left this Administration and the people that have replaced them are not the "best people".

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

And for once in his life, he's following through. It's amazing the extent to which every nominee was already involved with Russia or grifting or criminality, even the newest ones Jackson and Bolton fit that mold. There is not one competent, caring, honest or non-racist person in the entire lot of cabinet members, not one.

maybe these people ARE the best? He is the worst president ever, protected by the gop at every turn. Why do they want the dumbest people in the WH? The gop has not promoted any member with an I.Q. above room temperature to be their "leader" Maybe there are no candidates with intelligence to be had?

But that wouldn’t take much with Cadet Bone Spurs. Your average third-grade class would suffice.

As able, ruthless and devious as, say, Putin. OK, he probably has "ruthless" covered. And he has a certain amount of sub rosa cunning, but less like a chess master and more like a weasel.
