TGHusker Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Let's wait until he actually does something. Actions speak a lot louder than reports and possibilities, no? yes for sure - but part of the reason behind the thread is to speculate, guess, figure out before hand. After the cabinet is announced then we can tear apart or agree wt the appointees. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well, I can at least say this. I'm not impressed with the names that have been leaked as to who is being looked at. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I agree. Speculation is fun I guess. I'm kind of ignoring the process since I'm super busy ATM and throughly unenthused by the big T. So far all I've heard have been Bannon and this anti-Semitic guy we've talked about a bit. All the other names I've heard in contention are mostly people who were already in his orbit during the primary and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Danny Bateman Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Got a NYtimes alert that Kansas Republican Mike Pompeo is your new director of the CIA. In other words, a Tea Partier who applauded the government shut down and whose wealth of intelligence experience includes being on the House Select Committee on Benghazi and saying Muslims who don't denounce "radical Islamic terrorism" are complicit in it. On the same day we found out a reported racist was named AG and his kids are sitting in on meetings with foreign diplomats. "The best people." 2 Link to comment
Red Five Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Got a NYtimes alert that Kansas Republican Mike Pompeo is your new director of the CIA. In other words, a Tea Partier who applauded the government shut down and whose wealth of intelligence experience includes being on the House Select Committee on Benghazi and saying Muslims who don't denounce "radical Islamic terrorism" are complicit in it. On the same day we found out a reported racist was named AG and his kids are sitting in on meetings with foreign diplomats. "The best people." Look on the bright side, at least he didn't get named as head of the EPA. Pompeo rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.[24] In 2013, he said, "There are scientists who think lots of different things about climate change. There's some who think we're warming, there's some who think we’re cooling, there's some who think that the last 16 years have shown a pretty stable climate environment."[24] Pompeo has referred to President Obama's environment and climate change plans as "damaging" and "radical".[25] Pompeo opposes the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, and supports eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency's greenhouse gas registry program.[26] He has said that Obama's Clean Power Plan does not provide "any measurable environmental benefit."[25] He signed the Americans for Prosperity's No Climate Tax pledge.[27] He has called for the elimination of wind power production tax credits, calling them an "enormous government handout".[28] Link to comment
Moiraine Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Don't kid yourself. The head of the EPA will not believe in climate change and their job will be to get as close as they can to dismantling it. It's fun when people who don't understand science or the environment are in charge. I mean, other than the health problems and death they'll be partially reaponsible for. 1 Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Listen. I'm not going to tell you what is in Trump's cabinet. But, trust me, it is filled with the finest toiletries that money can buy, and the best prescriptions from the finest doctors. Let me tell you, you only wish you had this cabinet. Link to comment
Whistlebritches Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 This list of potential cabinet members is a giant reminder that elections have consequences. The people that are being appointed, share the views of those that voted for Trump. It sucks but that's how it works. Link to comment
