Musk resigned and his entire cabinet is objectively the least qualified set of people in American history. I fail to see how stacking all your positions with people fundamentally opposed to the missions of every agency is somehow seen as a team of experts.


1. When did Musk resign? Everything I can find says that he is still a member of the advisory board.

2. "Objectively the least qualified" is not the same thing as "doesn't agree with Democrats about the agency's proper mission."


Yes, because Ben Carson is fully qualified, and people's only issue with him is that they disagree with his approach. Get a life.


So you 1) did not address the fact that you completely made up the talking point that Musk resigned from the advisory board, presumably hoping that nobody here would check, and 2) apparently assume that I agree with every single Trump cabinet pick because I refuse to get on board with declaring the whole thing an unmitigated disaster. To address your specific example, of course Carson is not qualified for HUD, although he would have arguably been qualified for HHS. But I imagine you would not have been thrilled with him being appointed for any position at all, because one of the world's foremost neurosurgeons is some kind of barely-literate nincompoop, right?

I normally don't respond to trolls, especially ones that invent alternative facts from whole cloth, but I'll make an exception for you. Feel special?

EDIT: after checking out the rest of your contributions to this site, it seems your standard approach is to state your opinions as proven facts, from your hilarious "Balloon Theory" of how blenders remove fiber from food, to your dumbfoundingly ahistorical slander that the Second Amendment was written specifically to appease slaveholding Southerners.

Please try to adjust your approach. You'll find a much more receptive audience here if you admit that some things are just your personal perspective.
