flynn.
A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. Through the Revolving Door down here, theres a word that became a word i never heard of until this presidency when people were sort of struggling with how to describe this government of sort of fringe characters, people with resumes that did not usually enter into government service. And that word is chacistocracy. It points in this presidency, its been an apt way to describe it. To paraphrase donald trump, theyre not sending their best. And i think the evidence that you its not a partisan point, you laid out the evidence there of an administration that is just filled with people who have either crossed ethical

Elected, they were ready and they launched hundreds of conservative nominees all at once. There were plenty of vacancies for them to fill because republicans had all those seats opened. Republican haves been running those nominees through like a factory made chocolates on a conveyer belt. They got to hurry through as many of these nominations as they can. On july 19th, despite this well oiled if fairly frantic system, one of their judicial nominees failed. His name is ryan bounds. The Trump Organization nominated him one level below the u. S. Supreme court court. Again, in general republicans in the senate have been ramming through trumps nominees by the fistful. This ryan bounds no, maminati
