I'm in the same boat. I never minded the status quo and didn't want to drain the swamp. But when we point out that a lot of these appointments are swamp dwellers or swamp curators themselves, we're somehow melting?

Yep. I even voted for him. And, frankly, expected he'd do plenty of stuff to piss his hardcore supporters off while making people like me happy. I just like threads like this to watch them uncomfortably pivot from "GS is the core of a corrupt system!!!" to "say what you will, he's bringing together the most capable folks..."

I'm sure he'll also do some completely ridiculous shite eventually, but I don't find any of the picks that problematic thus far, save perhaps Flynn and Bannon. Some are a little perplexing, but not worrisome.
