Trumps appointments.

I like this pick https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bk6XzMVhc...ture=share

You know that guy speaks fluent Mandarin and spent time as a foreign-exchange student in China, right? What's that tell you? Just kidding. You can read his complaint here, starting on page 118 (from his Congressional testimony).

My hats off to anyone (non-native) who can speak fluent Mandarin as to my ears it is an ugly and hard language... In a discussion they always sound like they are pissed until they break out laughing !
I had a Chinese girlfriend who spoke German, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, and English better than me at times... Smartest person I have ever known especially when it came to math done in her head. She had an abacus she used mentally in her brain and it worked as she could and would point out errors people made even with their calculators..  She was fun come tax season !!!

UPDATE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)

Personally think this is great news.

Hopefully he has the integrity to go after these lying bastards.

The utter corruption of regulatory agencies via the mechanism of 'regulatory capture' also needs to be urgently addressed.

One thing I think getting lost in all this is, OMG are we learning truckloads about how govt works and how different agencies were started along with their original purposes!!! What President did what, when & sub sequentially how it went pear shaped over the decades. 

Watched Russ Voight from the OMB run thru so much info on Tucker Carlson, Erik Prince on Flag Officers lack of any historical military strategy education, plus a ton of other interviews scattered all over YT. Just about any pick of the litter by Trump results in deep dives by people explaining firstly our own governmental history in all three branches before getting into why Trumps pick might be appropriate. 

This I don't think was intentional but it's a amazing side effect of the process!
Just sayin' all this is both new & fascinating!!

Completely unexpected as well.
This is probably the first time in decades we're hearing intelligent & relevant conversation on American Civics. (hope I got that right?) It's definately the first time we're having the Constitution front & center along with the Founding Fathers. Have to thank Vivek Ramaswamy for his lecture over on Lex Fridman for just how many of the Founding Fathers were inventors, not just Ben Franklin. 

An yes, I'm sure there are more than a few folk here eye-rolling my complete ignorance!
(huge smiles!!)

Not at all.  There is no step like the first step... as a new administration "leaps into action" one cannot help but see an opportunity to learn.

Political alignments are highlighted, old grudges spot-lighted, "personal" matters become clear....  any ignorance you might find in yourself is shared between many, many more... it's good to be able to laugh at it... because it's not like these folks are ever keen to explain the real "why" they take the positions they do.

Your founding fathers were also very well read on history mate.

As for Trumpton it looks like he's just announced an independent Presidential commission to go after Big Pharma.
