Here are some of the possible appointments. I find them disappointing. Five top posts are essential for national security: Gabbard, Hegseth, Ratcliffe, Noem, Walz -- is ANY of these really an expert in secret intelligence? (Is it almost an oymoron to even worry about that, with Trump taking security into his own hands, staging meetings with Putin, etc.??)
Many of the appointments are digusting. RFK for Health? Stephen Miller for Policy Chief? I wonder if the Senate will manage to veto some of the worst selections?

Marco Rubio - Secy of State​
Matt Gaetz - Atty General (unindicted felon)​
Elon Musk - Commiss of Government Efficiency​
Tulsi Gabbard - Director of National Intelligence​
Pete Hegseth - Secy Defense (Fox & Friends co-host)​
John Ratcliffe - CIA Director​
Kristi Noem - Secy of Homeland Security​
Michael Walz - National Security Advisor​
Susie Wiles - Chief of Staff​
RF Kennedy, Jr - Secy Health + HS​
? Doug Burgum - billionaire Secy Energy (carbon apologist)​
Dan Scavino - Dep C of Staff​
Stephen Miller Dep C of Staff, policy​
James Blair - Dep C of Staff​
Taylor Budowich - Dep C of Staff​

Mike Huckabee - Ambassador to Israel​
Elise Stefanik - Ambassador to UN​
Lee Zeldin - EPA Administrator​
Tom Homan - border czar​
Vivek Ramaswammy - Secy Commerce​

While here, I may as well comment again on the Trump v Hitler comparison.

Each was well-supported and led movements with fascist methods and goals. Each was charismatic, at least in some peculiar way. Each had most of the symptoms of malignant narcissism.

But the differences are huge. Hitler was a high-IQ intellectual. Trump is an uncurious semi-literate. Hitler was hard-working and micro-managed German efforts. Trump is a lazy oaf happy to delegate to those with proven loyalty.

Hitler was an ideologue. Except for a vague sense that "Furriners are to blame", Trump has little interest in policy, but rather focuses on his petty grifts.

Right-wingers often pretend to worry about the "Deep State." A bigger threat is the alliance of billionaires, multi-millionaires, politicians etc. who plan to use fascist methods to manipulate the American system toward fascist goals. What to call this alliance? It isn't particularly hidden, but I'll name it the "Deep Cabal."

During the Trump-45, the Deep Cabal was awe-struck and was late to take advantage. For Trump-47 the Deep Cabal is much better prepared. They already have plans to rewind a great deal of 21st century progress.
 
Parade? It’s a fucking bunch of caravans od clowns.
 
Good cabinet picks. Exactly what I was hoping for. Utter fucking incompetent morons. They’ll fuck up, making fools of him and themselves.
They will destroy the entities to which they are appointed, to the great detriment of 99% of Americans.
 
I'm waiting for him to nominate the Property Brothers as co-heads of the Department of the Interior.

"Have you seen their show? They can remodel a house in like, a weekend! Nobody knows interiors like the Property Brothers!"

(oh and side note...Elon is going to head the Department of Government Efficiency. The DOGE. Literally a department named for a meme)
 
(oh and side note...Elon is going to head the Department of Government Efficiency. The DOGE. Literally a department named for a meme)
except there is not now and will not be any such department. It’s essentially an external commission, not a governmental department that would require an act of Congress to establish.

And the irony that they need two heads of an efficiency office. Sigh.

I was gonna make a crack about how now they've got the House in their corner, but then I remembered that when the "DOGE" starts demanding deep cuts in agencies that serve all the deep red districts that propelled the GOP into control of the House, the Republican caucus will suddenly find religion on "wasteful government spending."

This is going to be a shit-show of epic proportions.
 
RFK Jr. Has announced that in his first week he is going to call in all the department heads of the HHS and going to tell them all to halt drug development and study of infectious diseases for 8 years. He wants them to focus on chronic diseases instead. This potentially means the FDA halting all drug approvals. And stopping _all_ research on infectious disease? Are you fucking serious?

Not only will we lose out on potential breakthroughs, but we will lose out massively to China, to Europe, etc who will continue investing in new development and research and get both the benefits and the competitive edge against American companies. You can bet the most talented researchers an America are going to pack up their bags and head to countries where their research is supported and jobs will be more plentiful in these areas.

Where are the people screaming to get rid of government red tape and bureaucracy on this one? Where is the America First crowd when it comes to RFK Jr. damaging America and ceding our pharmaceutical industry and infectious disease research to Europe and China?

So...we're supposed to guzzle Ivermectin, clutch our healing crystals, and avoid chemtrails?

And drink raw milk, eat all organic and non-GMO and take homeopathic and Eastern Herbal remedies. We must also ditch all vaccines. Also chiropractic and acupuncture to treat various diseases and ailments. And also don't forget to stay away from 5G cellphone towers.

And join a religion and have your priest or pastor pray over you when you are sick.

That will surely put America First in the world in our health and allow us to dominate health care vs. the rest of the world.

FFS we are beginning to enter a new Dark Age.

Westen Medicine is one of the crowning achievements of Western Civilization. Amazing to see so many people take its benefits for granted and be fine with a nutty conspiracist who essentially thinks Western Medicine is evil and bad for our health in charge of HHS.

Trump thinks windmills cause cancer, and RFK Jr. thinks wifi causes cancer, so...do people who work at wind farms and use the company wifi have to worry twice as hard?

The wind farm will have to pass the RFK Jr. health inspection or be shut down. Once it has his seal of approval the workers will be a-ok.
