My cousin in law just retired from the Navy, and immediately was nominated by Trump for the assistant secretary of Commerce as the NOAA second in command.

Well, I guess it's cool if you have a family member or someone associated with your family nominated for a position like that. But if it were a member of my family I would hope they would decline based on principle. Based on not wanting to be associated with an atrocity like Trump.

I pretty much look at anybody who accepts a position with the Trump administration as tainted. And it's sad. There are a number of people who I previously viewed favorably who I now would never vote for because they opted to associate themselves with Trump. Nikki Haley is a prominent example. A year and a half ago I looked at her as a rising star in the Republican Party. But now I would never vote for her for any political office because she sold her soul. To me she pretty much shows she lacks integrity by virtue of accepting a position in the atrocity administration.

This is awesome on several levels...

I guess you'd feel better if these positions are filled with Sarah Palins and Hank Johnsons and Sheila Jackson-Lees?

When the solution is worse than the problem

Remember back when we thought JSO was off the rails? And it turns out THAT was his "normal" self....

We definitely need more OCD testing in our public schools!

You actually want OCD people for things like engineering and...

well, just engineering. But we do need them.

For fucks sake, John. Get over it. You're as whiny as Dback.


And look at the other side - those people who have accepted appointments may be there to protect the dignity of the US and prevent any BS that Trump may try to start.

That's awesome Andy!!! NOAA's a pretty cool organization, and they have some great toys to play with.

Agreed. They're really good at weather and fisheries type stuff. Their forecasts on hurricanes and tornados truly save lives.

Don't trust 'em when it comes to climatology though. Bunch of greedy, non-observational hacks.

Seriously, if I'm Neil Armstrong and I'm getting ready to push a button, I'm thankful that the guys who wired the switch, fueled the tanks, etc were OCD. I'm hoping for even half that level of OCD from the guys maintaining the airliners I fly on.

It is of course an honor to be considered but a lot of people have been diminished by their association with the Grifter Administration so I'd hesitate to call it a slam dunk career enhancer.

When I was stationed in Fairbanks in 77-78 NOAA was using the old DEW line radar sites to conduct research on the Aurora Borealis by shooting rockets full of elements that would enhance different wavelengths. We maintained their Huey's so when they came in from the bush they would tell us their schedule and we would carry the day room couches up on top of the barracks and watch the show in our arctic gear.

I just knew you moved furniture for a living

My point is that you can either oppose him or work with his administration and try to maintain order.

I wonder how many of your family members would like to disassociate themselves from you.

Mine is that there are risks in working with his administration too, that's all.
