Had Trump appointed someone who didn't have deep political ties, I'd have some hope.
@libertybele The problem is the professional pols all follow a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" philosophy. They WILL circle their wagons and refuse to cooperate if an outsider is appointed to a position that can or might cause some harm to come to any of them. Who was the politician that called the US Senate "The most exclusive club in the world"?
THIS is why I said that Bubba or Bathhouse Barry could have eaten a live white baby on live tv,and never served a day. They would be allowed to resign with no time served and their pensions intact in exchange for a guilty plea,"For the good of the country".
If you want to see Congress get bi-partisan in a HURRY,try to appoint some political outsider they have no dirt on and who owes none of them any favors to a position where he or she can subpoena and arrest them.
THIS is why the election of Trump was so important to the survival of the US as a free nation with a Constitutional protecting the rights of the citizens,and why it is important that he get re-elected. Trump scares the HELL out of the established Old Boy clubs because they can't control him,and he is serious about weakening their stranglehold on power and returning it to the people because he understands THAT is what will get him prominent notice in the history books.
It also needs to be noted that all his business life he has been forced by "the system" the professional pols established in order to do business. He had to pay bribes under the table,contribute to campaigns of the people in charge,show up at their parties,etc,etc,etc,or not be able to do business. As a wise man once noted,"Payback can be a BITCH!"
