Trump appointees need vetting 

Rushed cabinet appointments for the next Trump administration are happening a few days after the presidential election with jaws dropping from the left and a few from the right.

Thousands of civil servants will be replaced by loyalists that need a quick course in what they know nothing about, before Jan. 20, 2025. For example, Matt Gaetz, who passed the bar with limited courtroom experience, has Trump’s blessing to be our next attorney general. Both sides of the aisle are wondering if there will be an opportunity to have a normal senate hearing to scrutinize applicants, such as Gaetz, who has a history of unethical sexual behavior (as witnessed on his personal cell phone for colleagues to gawk at).

Trump would rather “recess hearings” where his choices are made, period.

Biden congratulated Trump, and I did, too, in a postcard to Mar-a-Lago by offering my services as a speech writer, without mentioning my horse-whispering intentions.
