(82,849 posts)Let me just say fuck you very much, Dr. Atlas. While you were playing political games with people's lives, filling a position you weren't qualified for, thousands more Americans died surrounded by machines and strangers as they wheezed their lives away. There's going to be a special wing in Hell just for the Trump administration and its feckless governance.

I'd buy a ticket to be seated at a table to hear you deliver the "keynote" presentation!

(25,518 posts)As a dentist I am going to request the position of Undersecretary of Disposal of Radioactive Waste.
The rationale is that I take x-rays and have a license to do so and thats radioactivity so I am thus qualified for the job.

That's about all the expertise we would need in the maladministration.

COVERED!!!!

I drive by corn on the way to the golf course. Energy & Agriculture.
Somehow, I'm thinking Biden's people have higher standards.

Otherwise, who knows what "only the best" could have considered and done under the direction of all of their "acting" directors!

The rationale is that X-ray film has silver in it (yes, I know dental X-rays are now digital) and the Constitution prohibits the states from declaring anything except "silver and gold coin" lawful currency, so since you handle silver you must be qualified to run the Treasury!

If it was anyone else but Trump, I wouldn't believe it. But you know, it's Trump, so anything is possible!

Well, I got us across the finish line, and I`m going to leave it to someone else to reach even loftier goals. Man, I hope he can turn these election results around. He has so much more work to do."
