    Trump isn't even picking good people for his posts, people who are experienced, who know what they are doing, who are right for the job. He is picking ceos and friends to repay favors, so they can all make bank together and advance their companies. Corruption at its highest peak...right in the faces of the American people who are to stupid to see it.

    Guy from CitiGroup picked Obama's cabinet and other top positions.

    https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8190

    Note the from email address. fromanm@citi.com.

    Though it was sent to Podesta, the people were hired by Obama.

    Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, etc.

    Puppet government.

    Oh, horseshit, Denny.

    Why is that a problem, exactly? Isn't that pretty much what transitions involve, identifying candidates for various positions and then hiring them?

    Note also that Froman had known Obama at Harvard Law, and had advised him in his senate campaign earlier.

    Obama didn't call up the CEO of Citibank and say "please fill my cabinet for me". And for the record, Trump hasn't done that either.

    Oh horse shit. He worked for citi. His list of people just magically got picked by Obama.

    The list was sent to Clinton's team before the election. It was in October.

    It made no difference if Clinton or Obama won. Citi picked the top officials in the administration.

    Puppet government.

    You do get that Clinton and Obama were running against each other?

    No, I don't get that. In October 2008, Obama was running against John McCain. Not Clinton.

    So Podesta worked for them both.

    In December, Citi got a $2.3B bailout. Nice paycheck!

    Yes, Podesta was Obama's transition chairman. So, naturally, he was busy collecting candidates for various positions.

    Not sure what you think is an issue here. Just because someone works for Citibank, he's not allowed to make any suggestions to Podesta?

    This is weak, weak, weak sauce Denny.

    Looks like it doesn't matter who wins on the democratic side. Same swamp (Podesta), different day.

    Citi (Wall Street) still picked Obama's cabinet.

    The email is damning evidence

    I accept your denial for what it is - head in the sand.

    I'm not buying any of that shit. Now if we get an inauguration hair piece or maybe something like that Chewbacca mask that went viral where the mask says YUUUGGEE or CHINA or Bigly when you open your mouth, I might be able to open my wallet.
