Ratcliffe was put up for the same job last summer but withdrew amid questions about his qualifications and whether he had padded his résumé.

Here we go again.

[Zorro]

1. Being a bootlicking asskisser is his only qualification

I guess that's quite a feat in itself.

2. Another Bizarro World appointment.

I am really sick and tired of living in Bizarro World/tRumpland for 3+ years. I want NORMAL again, pleeeeeease!

3. Just what we need at a time like this

another crazy man in a vital position.
It is the Trump way.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. Loyalist and attack dog. Very little transferrable experience but hey, only the best, right?!

What could go wrong? I mean, it's not like he really has to dooo anything...right? Right?

5. Well thats an oxymoron....

Ratcliffe and intelligence.

9. LOL

6. It's pretty clear that no one sane wants to get aboard the sinking ship.

Putting in less than a year being a bootlicker in a failing regime is not going to land you big money even on K Street.

7. Bring on the crazy!!!!! n/t

[Mr.Bill]

8. With every appointment

it becomes more apparent that it's difficult to find anyone who wants to climb on to the dumpster fire that is the Trump administration.

10. It's a ruse as always:

11. Still unqualified

But Trump loves his Kakistocracy.

12. GOP gaming the system.

Yet again.

If Ratfucker is again not approved like last time, the current asshole Grenell can stay on as "acting" for 7 more months.
