In reply to the discussion: Trump Announces Intent to Appoint Individuals to Key Administration Posts; December 8, 2020 [View all]SeattleVet
(5,468 posts)It's the names of the people we don't recognize that are the most worrisome. For example, there's an actual freeper on the list (Larry Schweikart, uses 'LS' as his freeperville handle), and he's being appointed to the National Board for Education Sciences.
Members of the Board are appointed by the President and are highly qualified to appraise education research, statistics, evaluations, or development.
He tweeted out a message a while ago, and there is a discussion of all he can 'get done' over on FR:
---------------------
Pleased to report I have been appointed by President Donald Trump to a 4-year appointment to the Board of Directors for the National Board for Educational Sciences. This is a non-revocable appointment.
I am now an embed in the unfortunate case Trump cannot overturn the fraud.

It's plain to see where tRump is going with this...they are stuffing tRumpista sycophants into the boards of various councils and other government organizations, to positions with set terms. McConnell will get these appointments through the Senate post-haste, and there will be a whole deep-state set of tRump-loyalist saboteurs embedded in all of these organizations for a long time to come. Asshole is doing as much damage as he can on his way out of office, and doing whatever he can to make the incoming administration's job as difficult as possible.
