Did you expect someone who wasn't nominated?
Expecting? Not really.
I would have preferred less hawkish appointees to the foreign policy positions and I thought there was some chance of that happening.
The two I'm most excited about that aren't on there are Thomas Massie for USDA and RFK for HHS.

Agree, but thinking about it, a less hawkish appointee might send the wrong signals to Iran, China, Russia etc, no?
reply
I don't really care what signals get sent to who. The only signal I want to be perfectly clear is that attacking the US will not work out for you. Otherwise, mind your own business and we'll mind ours.
Clearly, I'm in the minority though.

We are currently sending the signals of unhinged to Russia, China, and Iran. Pure carrying a big stick energy.
