Sounds like the rookie president started out 3 for 3 but small sample size as they say in baseball

He's going far right, big government with his picks. Its insanity.
He is not picking outsiders, he's picking cliche, right wingers with archaeic views on the country.

Converted? Your board spam today says otherwise.
Keep fighting the good fight, your objectively shitty posts are nutritional.
