Trump’s Unqualified Picks & Scandal Ridden, Criminal Administration
Scott Pruitt, longtime adversary of EPA, confirmed to lead the agency
“Scott Pruitt as administrator of the EPA likely means a full-scale assault on the protections that Americans have enjoyed for clean air, clean water and a healthy climate,” Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said in an interview. “For environmental groups, it means we’re in for the fight of our lives for the next four years.”
Ben Carson Unfit to be HUD Secretary
Is Anybody Home at HUD?
A long-harbored conservative dream – the “dismantling of the administrative state” – is taking place under Secretary Ben Carson.
Ben Carson has stated; “government-engineered attempts to legislate racial equality create consequences that often make matters worse”.
At a time when 7.4 million extremely low income households are unable to find safe, decent and affordable housing, the Department of Housing and Urban Development under Ben Carson is more interested in shaming working people than helping families struggling to make ends meet.

It makes little sense to hire a man who doesn’t really believe government can be a force for good to head an important government agency, particularly one so vital to Americans who live in poverty, Issac Bailey says.
Rex Tillerson, 64, has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin
Tillerson, who has spent his entire adult life working at ExxonMobil, has no experience in government or in diplomacy. In fact, if confirmed, Tillerson would join an unprecedented and hard-to-fathom operation: in the Trump administration, the combined foreign policy experience of the president, Secretary of State, and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is quite literally zero. Americans have simply never seen such a team.
What Tillerson has done, however, is work closely with Vladimir Putin, and spoken out in opposition to U.S. sanctions on Russia – the country accused of criminal intervention in the American political system. When making the case for Tillerson over the weekend, Trump boasted to Fox News, “He does massive deals in Russia.”

Trump Picks Warmonger John Bolton as National Security Advisor
John Bolton was part of the effort to mislead the US into the disastrous Iraq war and has supported military action against North Korea and Iran. He was too extreme to be confirmed as UN ambassador in 2005 and is the wrong person to be national security advisor now.
It is especially hard to understand why Trump would consider hiring Bolton when for years, Trump stated that the Iraq war was a disastrous mistake.

TRUMP’S UNQUALIFIED JUDICIAL PICKS
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh may have escaped the kind of scrutiny that was warranted for a SCOTUS judge during his confirmation, but that doesn’t mean that he’s off the hook. Calls of his impeachment became deafening this past weekend after new allegations came out in the form of a lengthy New York Times investigation. If these allegations are true, then Kavanaugh committed perjury during his confirmation and can be impeached.
New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly discuss the reporting in their new book, “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation” about the allegations of sexual misconduct that came out during the confirmation hearing of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Aired on 09/16/19.
Ret. Justice John Stevens: Kavanaugh Disqualified Himself From Supreme Court
John Paul Stevens, one of the only living retired Supreme Court justices, believes that Brett Kavanaugh’s emotional, angry testimony disqualified him from being able to serve effectively on the Court.
Kavanaugh behaved in a UNHINGED, BELLIGERENT, DEFIANT, COMBATIVE, ARGUMENTATIVE and DISRESPECTFUL manner at the Senate Hearing on September 27, 2018.
When asked questions about drinking, would then throw the questions back at the Senator, demanding they answer HIS questions. Kavanaugh has proved he doesn’t have the temperament to be Supreme Court Justice and is UNFIT for any position in government.
The above video shows examples of Brett Kavanaugh LYING yet Lindsey Graham & most Republicans are standing by and defending this Unfit Nominee for the Supreme Court.
At Tuesday’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy accused President Donald Trump’s nominee Brett Kavanaugh of providing misleading testimony about his time with the Bush administration.

SCOTUS Nominee Brett Kavanaugh Is A Corrupt Corporatist
Brett Kavanaugh has had all sorts of unflattering information being revealed, some of which seems to implicate Kavanaugh in illegal activity. But one thing that has been missing is talk of his anti-consumer rulings on everything from protecting clean air to workplace protections, and those are the issues where Kavanaugh could really cause havoc if he gets confirmed. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why Kavanaugh must be stopped from getting a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh Sided with SeaWorld After Trainer Was Drowned By Whale
After a SeaWorld trainer was drowned by a killer whale in 2010, Judge Kavanaugh said the company was immune from penalty. Kavanaugh has proven to be a Corrupt Corporatist who rules against consumers and 87% of the time in favor of Corporations.
KAVANAUGH IS OPPOSED BY THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AND IS THE MOST UNPOPULAR SUPREME COURT JUSTICE NOMINEE IN HISTORY
More of Donald Trump’s judicial picks have received “not qualified” ratings from the American Bar Association than did those nominated by his four most-recent predecessors in the first two years of their presidencies, Bloomberg Law research shows.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has repeatedly said confirming Trump judges is a priority of the Republican-led Senate, and the GOP has forged ahead.
The Senate has confirmed 30 of Trump’s appellate nominees, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, and 53 district court judges. Details at news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/trump-picks-more-not-qualified-judges-1

Republicans Confirm Trump Judicial Pick, Lawrence VanDyke
Rated ‘Not Qualified’ For Being ‘Lazy,’ ‘Arrogant’
The American Bar Association took the rare step of rating VanDyke as “unqualified,” noting colleagues of his who were interviewed consistently gave this description: “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice, including procedural rules. There was a theme that the nominee lacks humility, has an ‘entitlement’ temperament, does not have an open mind, and does not always have a commitment to being candid and truthful.” Furthermore, they were concerned “about whether Mr. VanDyke would be fair to persons who are gay, lesbian or otherwise part of the LGBTQ community.”
VanDyke has a long history of extremist anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and actions. As a student at Harvard Law School, he wrote an op-ed claiming same-sex marriage would “hurt families and consequentially children and society.” At his hearing, VanDyke was provided with an opportunity to address his previous statements regarding same-sex marriage, specifically as to whether same-sex marriage damaged children. He pointedly refused to answer. VanDyke also refused to respond to Senators’ inquiries as to his legal approach to the intersection of LGBTQ rights and religious liberty. Emails from him reveal a Solicitor General who had little interest in engaging in the daily tasks of the office and instead an ideologue committed to advancing a political agenda.
Trump Nominates Anti-LGBTQ Extremist Jeff Mateer
Jeff Mateer, Trump’s nominee for a federal judgeship in Texas, believes that transgender children are evidence of “Satan’s plan,” supports the dangerous and debunked practice of so-called “conversion therapy,” and thinks marriage equality will lead to bestiality.
Everyone of these Unqualified Judges were approved by Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, proving they are unfit to hold ANY public office
