What's new

Who are your Trump dream cabinet picks?

Agreed. I can't really make sense of it, just trying to see some potential angles I might not normally consider with some of these. Could very well be they're just bad picks as well.
Re: Noem
The Haglin brought up a potential good point. I don't know exactly what all Dept's HSS is over, but maybe she will be tasked with "breaking them down" along with Musk and Vivek

Could be as simple as these people have agreed to play ball with the new DOGE and their state laws allow them to be replaced without having to run another election.
 
I agree Trump made plenty of mistakes in the past with his selections, but he's not completely stupid.

Just like the lawfare thing...the guy doesn't go 70 some years without committing a crime and then all of a sudden commits a bunch.

Like whoever said in whatever thread...maybe he's picking nominees that can be confirmed very easily so underlings and other appointees (Vivek and Musk) who don't need to be confirmed to do the real work.
 

President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday afternoon that he will tap former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to direct the CIA within his second administration.

Since winning the 2024 presidential election last Tuesday, Trump has begun to announce who will be included within his upcoming administration. On Truth Social, the former president released a statement highlighting Ratcliffe’s accomplishments over the past few years and said he will be a “fearless fighter” for the American people.

“From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public. When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People,” Trump said.



“I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our Nation’s highest Intelligence positions,” Trump’s statement continued. “He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

The announcement of Ratcliffe comes on the heels of the former president tapping Republican Florida Rep. Mike Waltz as White House national security advisor, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan as the new “border czar” and former Republican New York Rep. Lee Zeldin as the new administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Here we go


I don't really have any problem with that. I just didn't want her in a position that's in line of succession with the President or to make an impact in domestic policy. Not that the intel agencies can't, but one of the big things with this admin is reigning them in anyway, if that's not happening we're fucked regardless of who he puts in there. As I said in another thread, she's always been pretty moderate, it's not like she was some hardcore leftist.
 
I want someone who thinks the Patriot Act is an aberration.

I hope that her experience being on the receiving end of those agencies will bring her some enlightenment.

After being put on whatever list I can't imagine Tulsi is too fond of the PA.
