The CIA and FBI have declared that Russia was hacking into our election. Trump is denying that this has happened. I don't know how he thinks that he has more info than the CIA. I guess maybe he got direct info from the KGB! This from a man who before the election claimed that the election is rigged. Some people cannot even be gracious winners.
I don't know if Russia's meddling changed the election result. But I am sure computer espionage goes on all the time from both sides. I don't see any difference between that and spy planes from both sides trying to get secrets from international waters. I think this is a wake up call that should not have been needed. We should know that foreign governments are going to hack us. We are probably hacking them as well. The danger is that eventually someone is going to hack into water supply system, banking system, power grid etc, causing widespread chaos. Can the government prevent these attacks?
Rick Perry for Sec. of energy? This is the same guy who wanted to eliminate that agency when he was running for president. He did forget the name of the agency during the debate. So maybe he will forget to show up if he is confirmed.

I think it's funny that he's picking the most controversial people for cabinet positions. I'm surprised there hasn't been more outrage over his picks, but I think as long as the picks are Republicans, then the establishment doesn't care. After all, these picks will help conservatives in the long run. It'll be interesting to see what all shakes out the next few years. Maybe our relations with Russia will be better. You never know.

His picks will be confirmed since the GOP controls Congress and there are not enough Republicans who want to oppose him at this time. But his picks show that people like Romney and Petreus who bow their head to him to try to get a job, are not going to be rewarded. It seems everyone he picks is against the agency that he/she is supposed to run. So will see how much of the government he is going to blow up.
ReplyDeleteObviously the Trump administration will have a better a relation with Russia. His sec. of state is a friend of Putin. The question is: is that good for America. I think not.
