I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump

You would think outsiders with no political experience, but he keeps getting flak for appointing outsiders with no political experience. It's almost as if people had made up their minds before he actually did anything...
We fix a system unquestionably tainted by corporations by giving billionaires (Tillerson, Mnuchin) positions of power?
I will concede that there are some decent/solid picks in this administration (Mattis, Kelly, Chao, Shulkin). Obstructionism and blind party alliance get us nowhere.

Not meaning to nitpick, but Tillerson and Mnuchin are nowhere close to being billionaires. Tillerson's estimated net worth is only around $150 million and Munchin's is about half that.

Tillerson was a great pick for Secretary of State, people being prejudice against him because of the company he worked for but he's highly qualified for his job and isn't some political hack. Would you rather have Rudy Giuliani or god forbin John Bolton as Secretary of State? Mitt Romney? Gross. Tillerson already has a working relationship with so many world leaders including Vladimir Putin.

Mostly conservative values: Right

Keeps it simple that way.

Well the problem I'm seeing is yet another in a long series of polar opposite contradictory complaints from the left.
On one hand the complaint is they're exactly the same type of people Obama had and Clinton would have chosen.
On the other hand they're all supposed to be the types of people Obama and Clinton never would have chosen, hence all the complaints about them.
My conclusion is the left can't make up their minds, don't really know what they're talking about and really just want to complain and protest as the worst case of sore losers in the history of the world.
Ah, but you see, therein lies the problem with putting everyone into little boxes. I'm not for ANYONE appointing such people to government because it's never in the interest of the people the government is supposed to represent, which is why I haven't voted conservative in Canada ever, and I haven't voted for the Liberal Party of Canada since I was 18 and voting for the first time. Also, I'm not the loser here since, as I said, I'm not American. The way I see it, all Americans are the losers in this case (in a literal sense rather than a derogatory one).
Not all liberal-minded people are the same, as I'm sure not all conservatives are the same, but by all means, just continue to polarize everything because the world just isn't unstable enough yet. lol I mean, the world's just one big dumpster fire anyway, so who cares right?
EDIT: Also, please continue to be presumptuous about my "mentality." It's amusing.

I was speaking about the overall mentality of those who say he didn't drain the swamp. That's why I said, "the left can't make up their minds".

Yes, but I'm the one here saying he didn't drain the swamp (and he still didn't btw), so that would mean me in this instance lol (not to undermine your obvious expertise in "left" mentality or anything).
I could insert a bunch of gross generalisations about Trump supporters here, but I think I'll pass. You obviously came here to just spew the same tired rhetoric that I already see every day all over the internet, and I've had quite enough of it. So please, don't let me interrupt the Trump circle jerk. You should save your energy for confirming each other's biases and such; it's tiring work.

Many of us in PPR manage to show a certain amount of respect for each other and basically get along despite opposing viewpoints.
And then there's guys like you, feral botanist and jrjones9933, who show up to play the role of the antagonistic condescending bully who only seems interested in posturing and trying to deliver textual asskickings for self gratification.

Hey now you forgot to include me! I do all those things,too.
Now I feel all butthurt and marginalized.
