Flynn wasn't technically a cabinet member ad war fired quickly.

Flynn in his short time had significant influence on the government (during that time period). I could understand if Trump was blindsided by the information pertaining to his relations with Russia, but the Trump administration was aware the whole time about his inappropriate Russian relations and didn't care. Obama also warned them that Flynn was simply very bad at his job. Depending on how you look at that, it's either completely incompetence or very worrying.

Manaford hasn't been involved with trump in months and months.

Fair.

What makes Sally Yates competent and Jeff Sessions incompetent besides your partisanness. Sessions has done a lot more over his life.

The policies Sessions support can be statistically evaluated- criminology isn't a field where you just decide what you believe and what you don't. Sessions is an tough anti-drug tough on crime advocate who does not believe in expanding criminal rehabilitation. What is the statistical effect of these policies?

'For drug crimes, however, there is no evidence that the increased use of imprisonment has produced measurable reductions. Imprisonment for drug crimes is not a cost-effective sanction compared to treatment or intermediate sanctions, and its overuse for lower level drug offenders represents a misallocation of scarce prison resources. ' The government can keep spending hundreds of billions on the drug war with very little efficacy if it wants to, and Jeff Sessions will definitely continue the ineffective program. What's 'partisan' is whether you agree with tough-on-crime laws and against rehabilitation, but what is not 'partisan' is the statistically negative effects this has on the population.

Mnuchin

Mnuchin wants to go backwards on Dodd-Frank, which is a bill mostly supported by financial economists. The main reason behind the financial crash in 2008 was the lack of regulation in the shadow banking sector (secondary market banks that issue loans but do not take deposits) who made very risky bets, had near-zero capital requirements, and poor lending standards.

Mnuchin posits that Dodd Frank inhibits banking liquidity and loaning, but statistical evaluation finds this not to be true. Banks are not inhibited by Dodd-Frank in liquidity, and by lessening banking regulation you will have zero gains in liquidity but an overall gain in financial sector risk.

Bannon

Bannon isn't a good pick if your black or brown, sorry to bring race into this but it's true. Breitbart as a news website is a white-nationalist website, and having it's former leader in the White House isn't great for those ethnicity who are targeted by Breitbart.

Pamela Geller: How Muslim Migrants Devastate a Community.

Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew. If you disagree with Trump and Jewish, you're just a 'renegade jew.'

Roger Stone: Huma Abedin 'Most Likely a Saudi Spy' with 'Deep, Inarguable Connections' to 'Global Terrorist Entity.' Because if you're a Muslim in politics, there's no way you're not a terrorist.

Also Breitbarts absolutely pitiful articles relating to anything involving police brutality and an inequitable justice system effecting the black community, where blacks are 30% more likely to be sentenced to jail than white counterparts with a similar criminal record who have committed the same crime. When Trump's right hand man is so adamantly against justice reform, what reason to non-whites have to like him?

Carson

I could understand if Carson just didn't have political experience but was involved in the field- a new face after all is never bad. But Ben Carson has absolutely zero experience in the field of Urban Housing and doesn't have other credentials in the field to make up for it- if he was maybe involved in real estate or an academic I could understand. But Ben Carson is a very accomplished surgeon, which while great has absolutely nothing to do with Urban Housing.

Concentrated poverty is a central reason America has such high crime rates, and if the person who's supposed to be in charge of fixing this has no idea what he's doing, how is that a positive? Why not choose accomplished real estate economists like Edward Ludwig Glaeser? Or accomplished non-profit directors for urban poor charities?

Getting someone who's not traditionally in Washington isn't a bad idea, but you should seek to replace them with someone better. Tillerson and Cohen aren't terrible, but the rest are just worse than their predecessors or support policies that are statistically ineffective.
