Trump's cabinet... what will it "look" like:

DRAIN THE ICE: Trump Nominates Billionaire Pro Hockey Team Owner To Be Secretary Of The Army
December 19, 2016 News,

The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports: Florida Panthers majority owner Vincent Viola has been nominated to serve as the Secretary of the Army by President-elect Donald Trump. The Viola family will retain ownership of the Panthers, the team said in a statement, but upon Senate confirmation and NHL approval, Viola has named co-owner Doug Cifu to take his place as chairman ...

Really?
Trump’s cabinet is mostly white and male.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/cabinet-diversity-impact-policy-making/

+ rich
+ straight
+ Christian

All the five needed to be "valid" in the eyes of your typical conservative. Diversity is for libtards.

He's one of these, which, in my book, makes them an even more despicable lot than many of Trump's supporters:

Anarchists for Donald Trump—Let the Empire Burn - The Daily Beast

from the article:

"What’s needed now in American politics is consternation, confusion, dissension, disorder, chaos — and crisis, with possible resolution — and a Trump presidency is the best chance for this true progress. This is a politics of arson. I’d rather see the empire burn to the ground under Trump, opening up at least the possibility of radical change, than cruise on autopilot under Clinton."

Such idiots. Burn how? With a Republican House and Senate firmly in charge? With a soon to be lock on the Supreme Court and lower courts.

I'm stealing this from the link below to preface for critics who criticize our critique of trump..

So many pitfalls exist that most administrations don't release potential nominees' names until they've been preliminarily vetted.

There's one thing about being different. But just the reality show appearance of this reeks of tacky regardless of any political ideation.

As I've said in another thread, it's astounding how his picks are the antithesis of what he ran on, and before he takes office, he's already "attempting" to temp down the rhetoric he created.


But aside from the crazy tweets, these picks are very telling. I could have smashed my fist through the TV when both he and his surrogates were taunting the "sacrifice " his self admitted billionaires are making because they are going to be losing out a lot of money on to serve their country in his cabinet.

to this?

It's somewhat justified here.

http://www.desertsun.com/story/opinion/editorials/2016/12/16/other-voices-ny-times-importance-appointee-vetting/95532502/

Unlike his reality TV show, Mr. Trump doesn't get the final say on hiring. Nominees face a long process to ensure they'll be working for the American people, not for their own enrichment. By law, they must submit hundreds of pages of financial disclosures, shed assets and jobs and take other steps to avoid conflicts of interest. They must undergo an F.B.I. background check that looks back 15 years. That's just the executive branch. The Senate, which has the power to confirm or reject nominees, has its own disclosure requirements.

Mr. Trump, as everyone knows, has yet to abide by the same procedures. Though not required by law to do so, past presidents have shed their business interests, partly to show they have nothing to hide and partly to demonstrate the same commitment to public service that the law demands from their teams. Mr. Trump has not only failed to divest himself of his principal holdings but is unwilling even to quit his job at "The Celebrity Apprentice."

His nominees are mostly new to Washington, so they probably know little about the layers of screening and divestiture that lie ahead, or the laws behind them. The main law, enforced by the Office of Government Ethics, is 18 U.S.C. 208. This criminal conflict-of-interest statute prohibits an executive branch employee from participating "personally and substantially" in government matters affecting his or her own financial interests or those of a spouse or underage child, general partner, organization in which he or she serves as an officer, director, trustee, general partner or employee, as well as anyone with whom he or she is negotiating for or has an arrangement concerning prospective employment.

That means Mr. Trump's team members, whether paid or not, cannot hold any job with an overlapping interest. They must leave their companies and corporate boards; sell stock; and disclose payments, lawsuits or other arrangements that present a potential conflict.


In the Obama administration that involved a 63-question survey designed to root out potentially disqualifying surprises. Even then some arose, like the $140,000 in unpaid taxes that sank the nomination of Tom Daschle for health and human services secretary.

The Trump campaign says it has been pre-vetting candidates, but it has provided no proof of that. A spokeswoman said the team has "procedures and protocols" in place but didn't describe them or answer questions about the lagging progress.

Public disclosures for Penny Pritzker, President Obama's commerce secretary and an heir to the Hyatt hotels fortune, show how complicated the process can be for wealthy businesspeople new to government. Nominees begin with Form 278, an intrusive dive into financial holdings and history. Ms. Pritzker's form was 184 pages long. She also filed a detailed ethics agreement letter pledging to sell off her financial stakes in 221 different entities.

If it works out, hats off to him. But boi oh boy if it doesn't. Imagine. We're just coming out of the biggest financial crisis in our time, and to plug in people directly related to this debacle, is asinine.

But I'm not a business pro like trump and the business analysts who insist these are the people we need. You know like cyber crooks being hired by the government to combat cyber fraud. Trump. Ryan, McConnell, you break it, you bought it!!!

Those of us living though the Reagan/Bush years are still waiting for trickle down economics to kick in. And the critics were scoured with the pull yourself up by your bootstraps and quit looking for free shit speeches. After being told , If you like your money, you can keep, We just need a little for investment capital to> Make America Great.

Seriously, think of all the critics complaining how slow this economy turned around. The politicians who proposed nothing, criticized Obama, and in some cases, blocked his initiatives to stimulate the economy had better be holding prayer vigils.

I don't want to hear any of this BS about if you don't support the president, you're unpatriotic. He failed because not enough people backed his plans. Dude, miss me with that shit! I know some hate hearing it as it comes off tit for tat, But you mean give him the same backing Congress gave Obama?

All the five needed to be "valid" in the eyes of your typical conservative. Diversity is for libtards.

Diversity for diversity sake is racist.

Best qualified candidate as opposed to hiring someone to fill a racial quota should always win the day. If you weren't so caught up in your identity politics and polarizing race as a means to control minority demographics you'd understand that.

This isn't the fucking Academy Awards. Actual merit, talent, should never be ignored and replaced by some asinine progressive trophy through multicultural quota sieve. Fuck that obtuse PC nonsense. Participation trophies aren't for adults. You deserve what you earn. Nobody owes you a god damn thing just because of your race or sex. Save your affirmative action speech for the lawn of some liberal polluted college and a gang of SJW flag waving triggered students, a.k.a., fucking sanctimonious hypocrites/pussies.

Sorry but you don't get brownie points in the real world for fitting into the racial formula that progressive douchebags have determined are deserving of special treatment. In the real business world nobody cares about how oppressed you feel but instead what skills you bring to the table to help a company succeed.

You're forgetting Trump is a businessman not a fucking pandering politician. He's not in every special interests group's back pocket like that corrupt cow Hillary who's ass you so eagerly sucked lies and shit out of only to belch it out onto the forum as truth and ice cream. No, Trump isn't like any president elect before him. He doesn't have roll on his belly and lick the drooling mouth of Wall Street bankers, Saudi billionaires, and a constituency of out of touch SJW left wing radicals bent on cuckolding white males, making patriotism synonymous with racism, and promoting an increasingly censoring liberal narrative of hypocrisy and lies.

No, Trump is his own man. Instead he's eying his cabinet as he would a business and set out busying himself building arguably the greatest company in the world and filling it with most talented and qualified people on the planet. People who are incredibly successful and are being positioned to do what they do best; build businesses, negotiate deals, create jobs, and make money.

But here you are crying because your unrealistic fairytale progressive rainbow view of the world isn't being met. Too bad. Ability trumps diversity. Grow up and welcome to the real world.

And stop with this bigoted campaign of making white male Christians a pejorative. Your "white privilege" leftist propaganda narrative, demonization of Caucasians, is divisive and transparently racist.

That's it, stick with the narrative right to the bitter end. It worked so well for you liberals during the election. That's a good ignorant sheep. Or are you more partial to the Clinton campaign term of, "unaware and compliant citizenry"?

Quote taken out of context, as we've already established.

Now that the Republicans are in power, they're going to face criticism, just as the Democrats did. You'll just have to get used to it: No one cares about your feelings.

Actually they do. Well, the people who are going to be running thing anyway. Trump won. It's your feelings that will be taking a backseat.

Now get out of the way liberal, we have a giant Obama mess to clean up. Not to mention the ridiculous PC culture we're going to blow up. Best go hug a Hillary bear in your safe space, the fairytale is about to come to a very unceremonious end.

The United States is not a Business. Running a Business and running a country are 2 different skill sets. Mr Trump hasn't proven that he possesses either.

I doubt any of the people who will be running things care about your feelings, but you're welcome to believe as much.

I have no doubt the people in charge will attempt to do all you say. And no doubt, they will push through a lot of their agenda. But precisely because of that agenda becoming more apparent, they will encounter widespread, growing resistance.

We live in interesting times; the fight is far from over. For now, enjoy your victory.

Neither has any politician since the 1960s. That's why Trump got elected, I think.
No one really believes he is conservative because he's not and never has been.
But he is a big giant "Fuck You" to American politics, and for better or worse maybe career politicians (Republican and Democrat) will start paying some fucking attention to their job.
At least that's why I voted for him.

 

[phonehome]

And so far ALL he has done is say "FUCK YOU" to people like you.

In 3 years when there is no wall or any attempt to even start to build one. No tarriffs imposed on any company and all but a handful of those Carrier jobs he "saved" are long gone.Every EPA reg that was the supposed "problem" is gone but "coal jobs" have continued to dwindle because you can't get a power company to use it becasue it is still more expensive in every way than natural gas and your taxes, all your taxes have most likely GONE UP and all those "illegals" are all still here and then some what are you going to say then?

 

[deleted37010]

he is a big giant "Fuck You" to American politics

my fear is that giant "fuck you"... will be to america

ALL he has done is say "FUCK YOU" to people like you.

again, i fear.....to people (period)........
