Twice named one of the top corporate lobbyists by The Hill. At least we're draining the swamp.
To recap: new interim to the interim Secretary of Defense while the interim Deputy Secretary of Defense continues his job as comptroller, and we can expect an interim Secretary of the Army.
Oh, cool. We have an interim Secretary of the Air Force, too.
Along with an interim Secretary of Homeland Security who is also in charge of Customs and Border Protection.
In addition to all these interim people holding down more than one job, we've got Mike Pence and Rick Perry on the Security Counsel with Pompeo. Holy shit. That means Trump has two temps, two religious wingnuts (one of which wanted to get rid of the department he's in charge of and didn't realize what he would be in charge of when he took the job), and one idiot advising him as part of his Security Counsel. I had no idea this shit had gotten so bad.
