DHS has had only libtard lawyers running it so far. Time for some intelligent, hard-headed grown-ups.

Raising concerns in the MEDIA.

But who cares what they think?

Trump seems to be making excellent selections.

Yes he is. And it is just a matter of time before hussein gets his nose out of joint and does something silly to get Trumps accomplishments off the front page. Hell, Trump has accomplished more in a month than Ohole has done in a whole term..and he isn't even President yet!

And yet all the Communists and Muslim Brotherhood members, all the atheists and liars and cheats, all the union thugs and crooked lawyers over the last 8 years inside the Obama Administration, and not a peep from the great and powerful MEDIA.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The great and powerful media is controlled by the very people and institutions you’ve alluded to, so it could be said that they perform a useful service by revealing on a daily basis what our country’s domestic enemies are doing and thinking.

#21 “Duty, honor and country”, three words Obama and his Marxist minions and criminally greedy aholes never acknowledged as their guides.

They liked “Incompetence, dishonor, treason and stupidity” as their guidelines.

Looks like Trump just wants professionals. Get it done types. No community organizers.

Yes, Washington Post, it is so, so much better to pick heads of departments by how much they donate to your campaign or your foundation, or by what skin color they are, or what gender they are rather than abilities and experience.

You got us there, I guess.

Even William T. Sherman knew that of all people. IIRC, he wasn’t up for starting fights as much as he was willing to end them.

I am 100% behind intelligent and patriotic generals in these positions. We are at war, and we need smart people to fight for us. The recent riots regarding the election are most likely just the tip of the iceberg and perhaps just the beginning of the attempt to stir up chaos and mayhem.

Let’s see what we have here:

A general - military - to head Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and National Security.

Seems we have folks experienced in national security heading up departments of national security.

Would they object to cops heading up local security too?

Bears repeating again and often:

When Trump appoints Hillary ambassador to Libya, all will be clear.

Respect
They respect each other’s destinct abilities and specific jobs
The respect the chain of command (CIC is in charge)

DJT was raised at the military school. No doubt he finds this organization and structure positive.
