Readers sound off on controversial cabinet nominees, Puerto Rican voters and student homelessness

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Trump is really giving a huge "F you" to the country with his cabinet selections.
44% : And naturally, pardons for every single Democratic member of Congress and every Democratic candidate who ever ran against Trump or a Trump-backed Republican.
32% : Trump wants vengeance against everyone who has ever crossed or disparaged him; his "enemies list" likely runs to thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of names.
32% : Yes, the word for today is "pause," five letters that will be the standard operating procedure for anyone daring to bring legal charges against Trump.
32% : How can you call white women uneducated and also tell people that if a family member voted for Trump, don't talk to them?
30% : With these picks, Trump is giving the middle finger to real and perceived enemies.
29% : Trump will try with another nominee.To thwart the Trump plan, before Jan. 20 President Biden must issue full pardons to these thousands of people who have committed no crime other than trying to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
29% : Trump and his AG will persecute -- and prosecute -- every one of these persons and many others who have transgressed the president-elect.
27% : Lester SimonBrooklyn: Re "Puerto Rico's presidential vote can't be ignored" (op-ed, Nov. 14): The idea that Puerto Ricans on the mainland voted for Trump because of statehood is absurd.
18% : Aside from the childishness of these gestures, Trump puts all of us at risk as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping salivate over America's fall from grace.
15% : And the sycophant Gaetz, who has now thankfully withdrawn, would have gladly turned the Justice Department into an institution of legal revenge for Trump.
13% : First should come the prosecutors who indicted Trump and the judges who heard the cases and pardons for the Republican members of Congress who defied Trump.
8% : A pardon for Michael Cohen, whom Trump has not forgotten; and pardons for the anonymous members of that jury, who found Trump guilty of 34 felonies.
