After these hearings, the only two I think definitely should not be approved are Devos and Price. Devos because she is clearly unqualified and unprepared, Price because of his ethics issues with these repeated stock trades in situations where he either has inside information or is set to act on legislation advantageous to them.

There are only 2 stock trades that I have heard mentioned. One was 26 shares of Zimmer Biomet at $104 per share bought along with 69 other stocks on one day by Morgan Stanley in an actively managed brokerage account. This was a periodic rebalancing of his portfolio, done without his input.

The other was a stock bought by Price with a stock tip from a friend and board member of the company(Innovative something?). Today, Sen. Wyden of Oregon accused Price of using his position to introduce legislation favorable to the company. Price responded by asking Wyden which specific legislation was it that Price introduced. Wyden didn't answer. That trade had no insider information, because the information that he received was publically available. It's BS.

So, you are saying you approve of the majority of Trump's picks for the Cabinet?

Hubert Horatio Humphrey is the only Triple H that I have heard of. Is this guy a wrestler?

General Mattis has been sworn in as SECDEF.

Things are about to change in the military. You'll see a gradual thinning of the "career-minded don't make waves" officer corps, replaced by a generation of young (and not-so-young) meat-eaters who know how to carry the fight to the enemy, and prevail. It'll take a year or so to see the new mentality take hold.

Mattis has a bearskin rug in his den. It's not dead, it's just afraid to move.....

I realize it might mean someone's livelihood, but I had to chuckle...

Trump Has EPA Employees 'Coming To Work In Tears' | The Daily Caller

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees are reportedly arriving at work in tears because of President Donald Trump.

An anonymous EPA communications career employee told Pro-Publica that “more than a few friends were ‘coming to work in tears’ each morning as they grappled with balancing the practical need to keep their jobs with their concerns for the issues they work on.”

Democrats boycotting the votes on Treasury and HHS. At this point this is getting ridiculous and putting the country at risk.

The GOP needs to hold the high road here. Including Trump. Let them continue to bicker and be children. Hurts no one except themselves in the end.

They are going to have a fight on their hands with the Supreme Court pick. McConnell better have the balls to use the nuclear option because that's the only way I see it going forward.

No surprises here. Reversed roles, same behavior. Modern American politics at play.

In the end, the promise by guys like Rubio, McCain, or Graham, that they would not just tow the party line, and would take a serious look at these nominees, was all talk. Same on the Dem side.

No one that said they were undecided was telling the truth.

Not how the game is played. To expect different is to invite disappointment.
