Democrats nearly always choosing Republicans for non-elected offices so they "don't look partisan." Republicans always choosing Republicans for non-elected positions because they don't actually give a shit about looking partisan.

This is part of why the FBI has always been run by Republicans. Not once have we had a Democrat in charge of the FBI.

At least the FCC has a slightly better track record. Wheeler was a good FCC chairman.

The country would be a lot better off if the Democrats abandoned their devotion to "bipartisanship". It's a one way street that seems to only exist as a convenient roadblock to implementing any kind of positive reforms.
