47's Adminstration taking shape

Post by tamada » November 14, 2024, 10:07 am

Trump says he will nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans Wednesday to nominate Gaetz (R-Florida) and Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, to the respective posts. Trump also confirmed he will nominate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) as Secretary of State.

Here's a snapshot of the anointed and likely-to-be-anointed.

Interesting picks so far. Let's see how many pass the confirmation process.

I assume that they all will. The Republicans in Congress have repeatedly proven themselves to be Trump sycophants, ready to do whatever he asks in order to stay in his good graces.

His appointments suit me as long as the candidates pass the vetting process. The senate has many hate Trumpers who are not afraid of Trump and who would delight irritating him.

I'm sure if the world read RFK's book with its heavily researched facts, thousands and thousands of citations, people might think he is the perfect pick for this job.

I listened to it instead of reading it and walked away with more respect and admiration for this tenacious individual.

I'm anxious to see RFK Jr. clean house at the NIH, NIAID, CDC, FDA and perhaps make some headway on the opioid crisis which seems to be a uniquely American problem. It would be great if there was a movement to get the pharmaceutical companies off the TV and print commercials like most of the rest of the world and hold the industry accountable.

But still haters are gonna hate since the DNC machine tried to discredit him, Tulsi and even Jill Stein is a big way with their lies and misrepresentation of the actual facts.

Gaetz is nominated for AG and quickly quits his seat in Congress. This just a couple of days before the "potentially damaging" findings of the House Ethics Committee investigating his more dubious behaviour was due to be published.

Quelle surprise, non?

Do any of these crack a mention in his heavily researched book?
Wi-Fi causes cancer and "leaky brain," Kennedy told podcaster Joe Rogan last month. Antidepressants are to blame for school shootings, he mused during an appearance with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Chemicals in the water supply could turn children transgender, he told right-wing Canadian psychologist and podcaster Jordan Peterson, echoing a false assertion made by serial fabulist Alex Jones. AIDS may not be caused by HIV, he has suggested multiple times.

And there's more.

Read or listen before making a buttload of comments based on main stream media suggestions would be my suggestion, JS. Please do try to have some actual facts with you instead of MSM rhetoric when making a reply.

Did you actually read the subject matter or are just against it from a ideological sense?

Live better and think more would be my best advise, then post.

I think the 47th POTUS will be really great , so much so it may even MAGA as foretold in my earlier postings JACK

My love for Tulsi Gabbard and the other lass Neom is unwavering as it is for Petty Patel all of which are horn ball material regardless of their political values and or amount of pubic hair ... these things can make a difference.

It's a shame you are not a US citizen, DM - the BOB loves those who give him unwavering support and fealty, and I’m sure there are still some suitable Cabinet positions still open.

In fact, you would be a beacon of intelligence and common sense compared to some of those already announced. :shock:

You forgot to answer my question, Pots - did he say the things as quoted, or not?

I'm happy to stick with my sources, and you are welcome to yours - as is the case with my life.

Cheers
