My one, slim hope is that DeVos won't be able to navigate the bureaucracy any better than Trump, and the Department itself (which probably has a lot of competent, dedicated people in it) will be able to slow her roll.

DOE doesn't like her, do they? It won't be fun over there, but I bet there will be a lot of stonewalling.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't understand why they want unqualified people in positions of import. Do they just think it doesn't matter? Surely not EVERY Republican wants to completely dismantle the government. Am I being naive?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lot of the elected Republicans want to mostly dismantle the government, I think.

I was so angry about DeVos I had super crappy fast food for lunch and had the place served alcohol, I would have started drinking at 1pm.

They want money. They want people who have money to make more money, and give them money.

Question: if 45 is impeached, does that mean his cabinet must be replaced by his successor's appointees?

Even if he's impeached, though, Pence would be his successor.

Smaller government has been a stated and striven for Republican goal for a long time. Crash and burn and total destruction of government is Bannon's stated goal. I think his nihilism is way beyond money at this point.
