TRUMP'S CABINET PICKS SOUNDING ALARM BELLS
WND ^ | 11/30/2016

Posted on 11/30/2016 8:01:44 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Hillary supporter, 'deceptive pro-amnesty lawmaker,' D.C. insiders among president-elect's top choices.

It’s often said “personnel is policy” when it comes to an incoming president’s Cabinet selections, and that’s what has some of Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters asking, “Why THESE people?”

In fact, Americans on both the left and right of the political aisle are expressing concern over the president-elect’s recent choices for key positions in his administration.

On Wednesday came word that Vice-President-elect Mike Pence was meeting with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, an outspoken Trump critic. In October, Rice called for Trump to end his bid. “Donald Trump should not be president. He should withdraw,” she wrote in a Facebook post following release of a decade-old video of Trump having a lewd conversation about women. Rice even insisted Trump replace himself with “someone who has the dignity and stature to run for the highest office in the greatest democracy on earth.” In July, Rice declined to attend the Republican National Convention. The Trump team has not indicated whether it is considering Rice for a Cabinet post.

Also Wednesday, the New York Times reported Trump may be considering professional wrestling magnate Linda McMahon for the Small Business Administration. McMahon developed World Wresting Entertainment, or WWE, with her husband, Vince McMahon. Upon leaving Trump Tower Wednesday, McMahon told reporters, “The meeting went great. It was really nice to be up, and I was honored to be asked to come in. Anytime I think the president-elect of the United States asks you to come in for a conversation, you’re happy to do that. We talked about business and entrepreneurs and creating jobs, and we talked about S.B.A.”

Not about Mitt, but his dad’s meeting with Saul Alinsky.

Pix of it have been posted here in the past and are at the Library of Congress.

Alinsky, Ayers, Soros, all names that signify enemies of our nation.

I don’t know the circumstances of the situation when photos were taken. It doesn’t seem a good thing. I just don’t know how bad it is. Was Alinsky seen for what he was in his day, on that day? Perhaps so.

Was dad Romney an evil man? Was he your consummate Leftist?

If Trump were to allow Romney to undercut him, it would be bad. I don’t think Trump would allow it. He’s a pretty smart guy. If Romney were to be appointed, Trump would have someone on the inside keeping him informed.

Trump is not going to get walked on. He knows snakes when he sees them. He knows potential snakes when he sees them.

Trump is another Trust but Verify man.

I appreciate your dedication to this issue. Neither of us can prevent Trump doing what he thinks is best.

We’ll see how it shakes out.

Some things do give me pause, but I just remind myself that Trump made it this far in the face of impossible looking odds.

He has been truly amazing so far and has already fulfilled promises made even before being sworn in.

But he is human so he’s sure to let us down in some way.

Until then, I’m still calling him our god emporer. ;)

WND is every bit as much a clown news source as CNN.

Sounds good to me.

He’s the only guy you have ever seen planning to attack almost every one of our pet peeves, from a Conservative point of view, from inside the Oval Office.

So much winning... will it ever stop... my smiling face is so sore...

Even visiting their site is risky business.

Wish it weren’t so.

Yes, it makes me happy just to see Trump and his fam.

I even really dig the pic of him and Nigel Farage in the elevator.

Everything about Trump just felt so right, even from the beginning.

Trying not to look too cheerful when I’m out and about though.

Gotta blend in here in commiefornia. :)

I did not get a specific video.

I did get a page full of thumbnails for videos.

I’m not sure which one you were focused on.

“Maybe Condi Rice will come around. I hope so.”

Condi is a New World Order socialist.

I have her video from her 1996 Denver University graduation speech demanding the USA pay for world socialism and play the world’s policeman. She called for global socialism.

You want a Bush retread int the Trump admin? Really?

Appointees report to the chief and are representatives of the wishes of the chief.........

There was nothing wrong with Condoleeza Rice other than 8 years of MSM unwarranted attacks on both her and Bush.........

Do you think that Obama would have been re-elected in 2012 if he had been subjected to the same attacks that Bush was subjected to in his first four years?

As a side note, lets not forget the 3 year investigation into who "outed" Valerie Plame as an alleged "covert" CIA agent...........

Do you recall what the result of that investigation was?

I remember a similar investigation into an immensely popular president named Ronald Reagan that was called the "Iran-Contra" investigation..........

As a side note, explain to me how a three year investigation into who outed Valerie Plame can result in the 2 year imprisonment of some poor Bush Administration schlep named Scooter Libby while the target of the investigation ultimately proved to be Richard Armitage and not a God damn thing happened to him?
