January 18Jan 18 Trump nominated Matthew Lohmier to be the undersecretary of the Air Force. We’ve all sat around as CGOs and FGOs and talked about what we would do if we were in charge. Now we’ll get to see what that looks like with a retired major as the SECDEF and a former Lt Col as #2 in the Air Force.

And if Trump was good with Vivek being Senator then I’m sure Trump will be good with being Governor…unlike Day Man said.
January 20Jan 20 Author What's the over/under on Trump firing his first Cabinet position? I'm going to set it at 6 months from their confirmation. What's the over/under on a Trump nominee departing office on their own? I'll set it at 6.9 months. Turnover happens, but it seemed like it happened a whole lot more with Donno T.
January 20Jan 20 The implication is that turnover is a bad thing. He has to hire people for a job they've never done before. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. Look at the rate of senior commanders fired in WWII and how well it worked out in the long run.

So you're equating working for Trump as going into battle in a world war? Any other defending comments? The implication is that Trump fired more Cabinet than his predecessors in modern times. I'm sure someone can math it cause I'm lazy, but it was a lot. So I'm going to set some odds.

I equated nothing. I used WWII leadership as an example of how hard it is to hire people for jobs none of the applicants have done and that firing bad leaders may clear the path for good ones. That does not imply that war and working for Trump are the same. If you inferred that, then that speaks more to your presuppositions than my statement.

What exactly do you have against people being fired if the boss doesn’t think they’re up to the task?

My post well above was about Trump and how he had a penchant for firing his Cabinet, so I placed odds. Now ND is making it interesting, so I'll chat later.
January 21Jan 21 Speaking of being fired, I guess I might be. https://chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/Guidance on Admin Leave and Probationary Periods 1-20-2025.pdf

Unless there is some South African cultural connection to this gesture it really can't be explained away or dismissed.

Unless there is some South African cultural connection to this gesture it really can't be explained away or dismissed. In conjunction with the words, “my heart goes out to you,” he touches his heart and then gestures towards the crowd. He’s literally gesturing the associated words. Not that it should matter, but also the actual salute referenced never touches the torso at all, it’s simply just directly raising the arm out. To draw this conclusion in reference to Elon is nothing but absurd retardation on display by leftist dipshits. Don’t get sucked into it. Edited January 21Jan 21 by brabus
