Three things.

  1. Stop fucking dooming and shit disturbing. Once or twice is fine, but it's all you've been doing.

  2. Fuck this piece of shit, Brian Mast. Absolute scum. Oh, point 2.5 - at least include relevant information in your shit disturbing, like the dude's name.

  3. Perhaps most importantly...LOL. You fucked up again, and are just totally wrong. This is a committee Chair. The President doesn't appoint them. It's an elected Party position. How are you so wrong with your outrage bait? Again, I despise this dude, and fuck the Republicans who did this...but it has nothing to do with Trump. And with a second of research you'd know this.

Trump doesn't appoint, but he did endorse Brian.

Mast bested three other contenders to succeed Texas Representative Michael McCaul, who is term-limited. Insiders say that President-elect Donald Trump lobbied the Republican Steering Committee, which names committee chairs, to choose Mast.

It's possible, but remember what "insider sources" said, and how reliable they were, during his first time. I wouldn't be shocked, sure, but point is OP is dead wrong and, no, Trump did not appoint Mast to anything.

If all OP has is anonymous sources (and he didn't even have that, you had to supply that for him, because he's a lazy shit disturber), it's as credible as citing the Failing New York Times, or something. Possible, yes. Proven, far from it.

I also tried to find another source for Trump's endorsement but nothing so far except the JTA also hosting this article. You would expect Trump to endorse someone for a committee chair like this, yet there is no coverage of his opinion one way or the other except Israeli media, at least out of what I can find. It's very odd.

I mean, Mast is one of their soldiers, it would make sense that his own country would know more than the US on this issue.

...wait.

Fuck, I hate our government. And theirs.

One of the advantages of checking Israeli media is that it is often easier to get important information about American politics. Our own media is overwhelmingly slop and rage bait.

Why are you so angry he is pointing out that this is trumps pick? So he doesn't officially appoint the guy, but its still the guy trump is picking to support for the position.

Why are you so angry he is pointing out that this is trumps pick?

I'm not "angry," and if I was that wouldn't be the reason. I'm annoyed because OP has been doing nothing but dooming recently, and I'm doubly annoyed because he keeps misinterpreting or misunderstanding very basic things. If he was merely putting forward truth I didn't like, I wouldn't have a problem; I'd welcome it, in fact. I've always defended people putting forward their positions, even if I don't agree with it.

OP is obviously pushing an agenda...and isn't even doing the basic work to do it well. That's pretty lame.

So he doesn't officially appoint the guy, but its still the guy trump is picking to support for the position.

Proof?

Again, I'm not even denying it's possible. It wouldn't even surprise me, it's kind of on-brand. But I've seen zero evidence that Trump was involved in the picking of Brian Mast, or endorsed him in this specific scenario. Again, it's like reading NYT and saying, 'see, the anonymous sources say Orange Man Bad.' Like, sure, maybe he did something wrong...but it would be pure coincidence, because their track record is utter shit. I'm going to need more.

OP is either incorrect/poorly researched, lying his ass off, or simply making his argument very badly. That's what I'm calling out. If OP brought actual evidence that showed he was correct, I'd have nothing to object to; I don't object to the truth. That's not what happened, though.

I can't speak for the OP, but I don't consider it to be dooming to point this out. Trump is a lame duck so there is little reason to withhold criticisms of him. If things continue to be shitty, document poor decisions Trump has made along the way will help explain why.

As I said, it's more his poor presentation that I object to. I have yet to see any evidence that Trump is involved in any way in this (and if I do, I'll condemn him, as I have before when he's made retarded decisions.)

OP is pushing an agenda, and part of that is Trump Bad. If he brings good info, that's one thing. If he half-asses it, that's another thing. I'm not objecting from a place of 'God Emperor Trump is perfect,' or anything, and I've criticized Trump myself, including recently. I just think there's a faction that wants Trump to be bad or fail, so I take issue with the motivation.

Again, show me the evidence and, if convinced, I'll condemn Trump right along with OP (although I do think it's always important to keep in mind that the alternative was Kamala Harris.) I don't know, man, the whole Orange Man Bad thing just seems silly no matter how you slice it...even when he is doing something bad. I'm not saying ignore it, I'm just saying I'm suspicious of people who go really hard on the thing.

Trump's not even President yet. Let's let him cook a bit. For all his faults last time, he was still the best in decades.

You seem tilted. Refer to the times of Israel article linked in this thread. Could be bogus, but as you said, its on brand for zognald.

Brian Mast, who is a piece of shit, but OP is also a retard.

President doesn't appoint committee chairs, the parties elect chairs.
