Title: Trump Cabinet
Post by: Libertas on November 10, 2016, 12:31:12 PM: I like this -

Rudy Giuliani, the man that many believe Trump will tap for Attorney General, walked a very fine line this morning in responding to a question about whether or not the Obama administration should pardon Hillary Clinton for her numerous alleged crimes. While noting the obvious intricacies around potentially prosecuted a former political foe, Giuliani noted that "there are deep and disturbing issues there" and that "President Obama should leave it to the system that we all believe in to determine, is she innocent or is she guilty.”

Translation - I can't wait to go after this goldmine of corruption, treason and fraud!

Don't forget the others though either...and a RICO case on that bastard Soros would be more than overdue!!!

And he needs to do it now; the guy should never have been given the authority over the transition team. Levin said last night he's heard from a high-ranking somebody who knows that Christie's bringing in establishment pukes from the Bush and Romney contingents, effectively voiding the "outsider" ethos that Trump ran on. Not good.

But he needs to remember he's a manager and to keep them in check.

Post by: Libertas on November 11, 2016, 08:00:10 AM: Yeah, I want wrecking balls!

Put Uncle Ted in charge of Homeland Security.

Put Ron Paul in charge of Treasury.

I want butts kicked and budgets slashed.

I want Obama REMF's and LBGTQWERTYwhateverthefrickenpervs out of the DoD and no more ships named after buttpuppets, racists and DemoNazi's!

But yeah, if "If's" and "But's" were "candy" & "nuts"...everyday would be Christmas!

So, few of us expected any kind of miracle from a Trump Presidency...we are all intelligent thinking adults here...I don't think we expected a Reagan, we knew damn sure we didn't want another E-GOP hack let alone a corrupt Clinton...at worst we were hoping to get a speedbump, someone to buy us a little more time, time that some us need, especially those with younglings...at best we would get somebody that makes more right decisions than wrong...I don't think anybody thought it was going to be Christmas.

Anyway, here is where we are at, this is what we have to deal with.

Step One is done.

Step Two is having a say in how this Administration is staffed, as that will have a significant say in how Trump makes decisions.

At the very least, contact the team, let them know your thoughts -

https://apply.ptt.gov/yourstory/ (https://apply.ptt.gov/yourstory/)

I will definitely be doing this as well. And in order to be heard I think it wise to keep your comments to something under 40-50 words. Mine will be along the lines of major policy pushes and a cautionary "don't screw the pooch!" sign off. After all, Trump will have to take those policy positions above and craft one major item to address in each and focus on them, then nibble on other stuff. Some things like TPP will take care of themselves simply by doing nothing, it's the crap you have to get fricken Congress to do that is hard, getting those feckless bedwetters in line is like herding cats!

And we are not alone in being concerned, Rush is right, screw "unity", that's the bleating cry of the Establishment wanting to have its way still after having been soundly repudiated! (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/11/10/i_m_getting_nervous_about_all_these_calls_for_trump_to_unify_with_the_losers), and following through on promises with action (http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2016-11-09.html) is important, it always has been! You have to take the centerpieces of your victory and exploit them to the hilt (http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/memo-to-trump-exploit-your-win/), otherwise you'll be a one-and-done. This election upset was about repudiating the past 8 years and denying the Establishment an extention via Clinton as much if not more than just Clinton being corrupt and wicked...the latter was merely added incentive.

I like how Trump is already demonstrating fiscal responsibility by personal example (http://iotwreport.com/confirmed-trump-says-he-will-take-1-salary-as-president/).

The rest of the cabinet...State, Defense especially...needs some nut-crackers.

The next war is lining up -

The Establishment is reforming its forces (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-11/clintons-and-soros-launch-americas-purple-revolution) and the Bag Man for this cabal is sending out enforces for compulsory dues (http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/14/soros-prepares-for-trump-war/)...and the Sith Lords will be coming for Obi-Wan Don and everybody who opposes the Dark Side.

Post by: Glock32 on November 14, 2016, 02:37:05 PM: I think the MSM have had their first dawning realizations that they are irrelevant. The NY Slimes was forced to admit as much, in a vain effort to claw back some semblance of relevance.

They got virtually nothing right about the election. Do they really expect anyone to believe that they have any authority to tell us what is going to happen now?

I am not crazy about the Priebus pick, but I can also see Trump calculating that one of the best ways to bring party machinery to heel is appoint its former chairman to a position in his administration. I would really like to see Ryan fail in his bid to be Speaker again. Don't know if that will happen, but Trump should try to make it happen.

I believe so...it will be interesting to see how the Establishment tries to deal with that. In historical terms it has never been a true cooperative relationship with whoever runs the general party apparatus...they are either friendly to the POTUS (most often) or the Congress (when they don't have the Executive)...rarely both.

That is where I like the move though...either he helps Trump get his agenda through the Congress, or he gets replaced (just like he replaced campaign chiefs)...and Trump can get somebody in at RNC that works his agenda too.

I agree with G though, it would be nice to see somebody more cooperative with Trump be Speaker (and it would be nice to do better than Mytch in the Senate too! But those collegian inbred bastards are too stupid to change!), one would think congresscritters interested in survival would recognize being against a newly elected President under your banner could be a poor political move...though I suspect the majority of Establishment types will do their usual routine of sounding all nicey nicey about Trump in public...while going about business as usual wherever and whenever they can. As I said many times before, Trump will have more battles with the E-GOP than he will the Dem's...and in terms of action the latter can be completely ignored anyway...but they will try to bully and threaten the usual weak Susan's in the E-GOP to get their way on certain matters like they always have.

Title: Re: Trump Cabinet
Post by: IronDioPriest on November 15, 2016, 01:10:52 PM: Re; Priebus as Chief of Staff... I think it's a good move. (Dodging as trash and boos are hurled at me from across the room)

If Trump is going to "drain the swamp", there is no one better positioned to know where the drain is and who should be circling it than Reince Priebus. Plus, he has demonstrated throughout this campaign that he can be trusted. He remained relatively neutral during the primary process, when the GOP establishment and many elements of the conservative wing of the party were practically begging him to "do something" about Trump. Then when the voters nominated Trump, he stood by the voters and rejected all the calls for backroom shenanigans from the same people that wanted Trump scuttled in the primaries.

He stayed on the same side of the line as the voters, throughout the whole long process. Plus, he didn't shy away from helping Trump in the winning effort.

Now, there are many things Priebus has been involved in that rightly infuriate us. Chris McDaniel in Mississippi is one example. But buckling to pressure to engineer victory for a dinosaur senate candidate was the easy choice, with little to no consequence, and little upside if he'd have done the right thing and pushed back in favor of McDaniel. His handling of the Trump candidacy was the hard choice, and he came down on the right side of that - and apparently earned the trust of the President Elect as well.
Title: Re: Trump Cabinet
Post by: Pandora on November 15, 2016, 03:04:44 PM: Plus, as I wrote, as Chief of Staff he can be fired .... by Trump. And Trump gets a lot of the say in who heads the RNC now.

This could be hilarious...leftists will go apecrap! With so mony nominees coming at them and most whom they probably wish they could torpedo (but thanks to their mid-stream rule changing biting them in the butt) they cannot even focus on one with the Dem filibuster rules being adopted by the Pubbies...they are going to trip over themselves with stammering gibberish.

Old Bolton there to do the day to day management while Tillerson goes repairing our horsesh*t image. I like it. And it sends the message Trump isn't taking guff and going full steam ahead.

And, as warned long ago...Trump is going to have to deal with having the SCoaMF loitering around DC and sticking his skanky nose into Trump's business (http://ijr.com/the-political-edit/2016/12/754077-obama-to-lease-office-in-one-of-the-greenest-buildings-in-d-c-says-report/)...and my advice would be telling FORMER to STFD & STFU or risk minute by minute throttling!

Fine with me...if they are stupid enough to go along with a lie about the DNC hack then they should not just be pared back...use an axe and carve off the bone!!!

And Chuck You Schurmer, speaking for the Deep State serves up a threat to the President-Elect:

The new leader of Democrats in the Senate says Donald Trump is being “really dumb” for picking a fight with intelligence officials, suggesting they have ways to strike back, after the president-elect speculated Tuesday that his “so-called” briefing about Russian cyberattacks had been delayed in order to build a case.

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday evening on MSNBC after host Rachel Maddow informed him that intelligence sources told NBC news that the briefing had not been delayed.

Eff you, Chuckie! And the Deep State clowns you deep throat!!!

And lets see if any of these assholes back off the Big Lie or double-down on stupid (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2760ab8835494a7190df91fe718a644a/top-us-intelligence-officials-testify-russian-hacking)!

The latter should be obvious choices for prompt dismissal!

(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss291/libertasinfinitio/Trump/yourefired_zpsweli7kue.gif)

But the Deep State is already tweaking the Big Like about Russia in light of the Assange comments...

...it now says...get this..."that Russia provided the hacked data through a third party" (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-05/russian-hacking-story-changes-again) thus in their minds keeping the proof proving part of this at arms length from the Anti-Deep State forces.

Which is bullsh*t...provide your evidence of direct involvement of the Russian government in any of this...or look like a clown and get fired by Trump and see your empire purged and cut!

How come the most most persistent critic of Bernanke who was the mentor of Yellen that retired form the top job at the Dallas Fed in 2015 - Richard W Fisher? Sure, a Democrat, but one of the last surviving old school classical liberals that understands real economics. Would at least be better than Hubbard...and in general I am against most clowns in academia...since they tend to be progs with an extra dose of no real world sense thrown in.

And yeah the comments are full of wet-dreamers pining for Ron Paul and Rick Santelli...heck I'll throw Peter Schiff in the mix if anybody can do it...
