    I was expecting this video to be zero seconds long based on the title

    Great commentary. One suggestion however. Please don't add a soundtrack. The soundtrack is distracting.

      Or write the lyrics to complement the music & create a musical lecture.

      Not only this. Trump for example takes isolationists or pacifists for positions in the war departments, because he doesn't want wars.

      PS. His instincts are very businesslike. Why the hell be for 15th year in Afghanistan when this only costs us money. By the way his decision to withdraw invaders was worthy of Peace No0bel Prize consideration even if his reasons were business like only.

    Thank you. This is one to save. I love George Will, and he often sites his best friend, Senator Patrick Moynihan. ❤️🇺🇸

    Why do you torture us with audio-credits? You could just put the names in the description?

    Listen, I mean c'mon, let's get real. We've got a three point plan. First, the one thing, it's the first thing we're gonna do. Second, number two, we're going to do that just a quickly as number one. And third, number three, we're doing it & getting it done. Do you think I'm some kind of lyin' dog-faced pony soldier?

    Departments, divisions and bureaus throughout the country rely on public input; give and take between professionals and the business community; and other conversations to set rules and regulations for industry, health, environment, agriculture, etc. Outside of local government, the administrative state is one of the last bastions of democracy in the United States. The point of the picks is to destroy this form of democracy because Trumpers despise democracy in all its forms. But I guess, Stephens' interpretation works too.

    Hmm this really isn't a helpful use of anyone's 9 minutes. Summary:
    - the logic of Trump's cabinet nominations is to wear down our standards
    - but we can choose to raise our standards (like we did with the 90s crime bill when Americans demanded safer cities, says Stephens)
    I'd suggest that right after a close but decisive presidential re-election is not when anyone needs this simplistic reminder.

      Your arrogant, cavalier attitude is not needed. Reminders, no matter how simplistic, are imperative as we venture deeper and deeper into Idiocracy.

      I suspect the choosing days are coming to an end. I know this is the simple version but if Trump has worked out how to feed 49% of the population to 51% regards assets, values, power, control, key jobs, contracts etc. Then he could be in power for a long time. His crew knows exactly who voted for him and how to make life hell for those who didn't. All 3 houses and the supreme court, in the hands of trump. I'm glad I left.

      @orion6372 Yeah I guess it's better oversaid than undersaid, just not sure who the audience is that cares and doesn't already know it in their bones. Maybe he's talking to despondent Never Trumpers? Anyway, good point brother, sorry for being rude

    How about talking to ordinary Americans to find out what went wrong for you instead of reading another book to reaffirm your delusions?

      They literally can’t. It’s kinda fascinating if you think about it. They will be studied on the future.

    I wished the New York Times would've done more to focus on this the last 8 years vs thinking they needed to portray the maga Trump lies as part of doing business. Fox News made the choice to promote the lies, too.

    Logic? You think people who vote fo Trump, or Trump himself thinks “logically”?…Don’t waste anyone’s time.

      Actually, Narcissists can be very good at applying cold logic to satisfy their voracious appetite for supply.

      This is why y’all can’t win elections. How stupid do you have to be to think ppl didn’t vote on trump based on logic. Maybe not the logic you picked up paying 6 figures for an education that led you to believe the ridiculous things you do.
