Anyone can see who he is planning to appoint and comment on how dumb it is given the appointee's lack of qualification/past trouble with the law/willingness to get down on their knees for putin. To think the bronzered calf is infallible just because he got elected is ridiculous.Wow, the angst here is truly humorous.
Like I said elsewhere, people that don't like Trump, won't like the people he picked either.
To think anyone here is more qualified, than Trump and his advisors, to pick his appointees is ridiculous.

Well, that's partisan politics. One man's "they hate them because they hate him/her" is another man's "they should hate them because the buck for hiring/appointing them stops with him/her."
I'd guess people who didn't like any of Obama's or Clinton's or Biden's appointees painstakingly agonized over the pro's and con's of each individual before pulling out the broad brush on them, either.

If they're breaking up over politics, they weren't meant to be together. It's sure as sh!t a lot lower bar than "in sickness and in health etc".
Run infirm and weak candidates and lose presidential election. Check.
Try to convince independent voters they should care about the same top 3 issues as Democrats, and lose other elections. Check.
Advance the worst-case scenarios for every political promise and proposed appointment as if they were likely outcomes. Check.
Put deteriorating mental health on public display as evidence that they were the people who knew best which way to vote for the country. Check.
Take sick days and have cookies and milk while explaining that they are the serious people who should be trusted to run the country, or to be the next generation of such after graduating from whatever
Usually a political party has to be beaten in a couple of consecutive election cycles before it does any useful and productive navel-gazing. Due to the Biden administration interruption, Democrats will have to have another bad one.

Let's not pretend that there aren't cultural messages exhorting women to have fun before settling down, or to ditch/cheat whomever they're with if they "deserve" something better.
If the men and women who don't really want casual sex could figure out some way to line up with each other, the situation would be improved.

In the metaphorical gunsights ...
Stephen Miller, who will join Trump's White House as deputy chief of staff for policy, last year called Canada "increasingly authoritarian and despotic" and has labelled its leader "far-left Trudeau."
Trump tapped Mike Waltz to be national security adviser amid increasing geopolitical instability, saying in a statement Tuesday that Waltz "will be a tremendous champion of our pursuit of Peace through Strength!"
Waltz, a three-term congressman from Florida, has repeatedly slammed Trudeau on social media, particularly for his handling of issues related to China.
He also recently weighed in on the looming Canadian election, posting on X that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was going to "send Trudeau packing in 2025" and "start digging Canada out of the progressive mess it's in."
Like Trump, Waltz has been critical of NATO members that don't meet defence spending targets -- something Canada is not doing, and won't do for years.
Trudeau promised to meet the target of spending the equivalent of two per cent of GDP on defence by 2032.
Trump made a slew of announcements Tuesday evening and many of the people joining his inner circle have a history of lambasting Trudeau.
Mike Huckabee, the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, has repeatedly taken jabs at Trudeau in social media posts, criticizing him over the blackface scandal and calling him two-faced.

Trump's appointees have criticized Trudeau, warned of border issues with Canada
Donald Trump's second administration is filling up with some of his most loyal supporters and many of the people landing top jobs have been critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and security at Canada's border.
And why shouldn’t they? Or anyone? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable exercise in free will to me, so long as nobody is tangibly harmed.
Distasteful to me, but again, their free will.
Yup. But every free market has successes and failures. This isn’t fundamentally that different. Since people no longer have possessory rights and control over each other, there will be conflicts in their romantic interactions and relationships, some of them irreconcilable. Not that there ever weren’t- just that the playing field is more levelled now.

So given their history of messing with the West, this is an interesting time to just believe them at their word.

Somebody will be. The more partners people have, the more people they're going to compare to their current partner. I will not be surprised if the research into how "number of hookups" affects "commitment" end up at a consensus of "negatively, unfortunately".
Almost the entire point of norms and institutions like marriage is to counteract instincts that are not very useful for any species evolved past "herd" or requiring more than a couple of years to mature to self-sufficiency.

Almost all politicians have markers to be called in.
I doubt Russia has any to call in from Trump.

A House rep protesting a move of military facilities out of his district is unsurprising, regardless who holds the WH.
Trump expected to move Space Command out of Colorado Springs: Alabama representative
President-elect Donald Trump isn’t expected to waste any time going through with the plan to move Space Command headquarters out of Colorado Springs to Alabama.gazette.com
Even the GOP Rep in Colorado Springs publicly disagreed with Trump’s proposal to move USSPACECOM to Huntsville. I’m sure he’s going to have a great reception within the party.
