    He's 69 now. I don't see why he'd want another job after this one anyway.

    Maybe not, but I can see why he might want to have a solid legacy once he's retired rather than a shameful one showing squandered potential.

    He seems like a true believer in the unitary executive stuff. He probably feels pretty good about himself for his part in consolidating presidential power. Seems like asking Leon Trotsky to be ashamed of killing all those people and helping to establish a communism.

    Maybe. I don't believe he's always been a true believer. If he is, I believe that his opinion has been devolving over time.

    She's made her living off of scamming for-profit students so I'm totally shocked by her tack in this hearing.

    LOL... appears the number of new people willing to work for trump is shrinking so he has to rehire fired workers...

    Wonder what he's handicapping the odds to be on the impeachment trial removing Trump from office?

    I believe azar was involved in previous outbreaks including SARs and Anthrax, so hopeful he can be successful on this latest outbreak (and hoping he doesn't look like a dufus like wilbur ross did about the job opportunities).

    If she was brought in for confirmation hearings she would have undoubtedly been asked questions about the roger stone sentencing scandal. treasure secry munchkin avoided answering questions why her nomination was pulled, telling senators "we don't comment on nominations as a matter of policy when nominations are withdrawn" via (@SalehaMohsin)

    Interesting that she isn't going to take another comms position (where she was nominally qualified for) but an adviser position (no experience at all). And that she is going to work for jared, where her lack of experience mirrors his. Rumors were kellyanne hated her.
