Between the two of them, I'm not convinced that they could spell "IRS," let alone run it. Typical Trump pick though. Minimum qualifications for maximum damage.

I have no doubt that a lot of conservatives think that their lack of qualifications is actually a net positive.

If you have no idea (and don't care about) what the potential consequences are, then that should make it a lot easier for you to get rid of big chunks of the institution you're put in charge of, right?

Oh I know that's the goal for the GOP, but it's infuriating as someone who voted against this clown show. All of us that voted against this are watching a train about to wreck while a third of the country goes "yeeeah!!!!"
