OK, let's assume Donald gets elected for the sake of argument. As part of draining the swamp, the prosecution/firing of persons within various agencies/departments that have put politics above the people would be a good place to start (IMHO).
However, what to do with the mainstream media is an issue that needs to be dealt with lest we simply have the same hacks promoting the same Dem policies. Let me suggest that when it comes time to issue press credentials for the White House, the State Department, the Defense Department, et al, the Trump Administration simply call a spade a spade.
Since 99% are mouthpieces for the Democrat Party, treat them as such and simply issue a single set of credentials to one individual who's organization is the Democrat Party News Service (DPNS). How long before all the others are looking for work? Wonder if they'll be snickering then?
agree - they need to comb through released e-mails on wikileaks, identify every journalist collaborating with the Dems and revoke their WH pass.
Milo Yiannopolis for Press Secretary. No PC press conferences!
I hope he gets a conservative economist to be his Economic Adviser. Reagan drew heavily from Milton Friedman, although Friedman didn’t want that known publicly. In these days, it’s hard to find a good conservative economist.
There is another approach—let them come in but _no_ AC or heat in the press room, no snacks, no coffee.
Have a Hillary medical van standing by and everything is good!
P.S. Feel free to cut off the power to their microphones with a hidden “kill switch”.
Two can play at that game!
(Then let's see if any taxpayers notice.)
ML/NJ
He needs to use the FCC and antitrust law to go after the six companies that currently make up the media monopoly, and bust them into itty bitty pieces.
Open more space for more voices in the media.
Make the corrupt corporate media pay an extremely high price for what they’ve done.
[I hope he gets a “conservative” economist]
Sorry, but after having this word shoved in my face the entire time and told I am NOT one b/c I support Trump, and not having a temper tantrum b/c Cruz lost, I hesitate ever using the word again in it’s historical context....
Trump’s administration should demand Federally issued IDs be shown for elections that involve a federal office.
States can do whatever they want for their own elections, in order to maintain their 10th amendment rights, but if a Fed position (POTUS, Senate, HOR) is on the ballot, ID is MANDATORY!!
Instruct the AG to ensure that states comply, and have a SCOTUS majority to swat down any challenges to it.
Collapse the cost of energy and water—especially water desalination—via R&D. Doing so would roughly double the size the habitable USA— and make for awesome export opportunities
One quotation from Thomas Jefferson might be pertinent here in proving that America's Founders well understood that there might well be such challenges to the Constitution's strict limitations on the actions of future politicians elected to positions of power in government in order to preserve "the People's" rights and liberties against those who might wish to "change" America.We now must recognize that, since their beginning in the late-1800's, the liberal/progressive movement's ambition to supplant the ideas and principles underlying the U. S. Constitution with counterfeit ideas has been progressing at break-neck speed.
Correct, too, is the observance that the multitudinous bureaucracies already in place against "We, the People," must be displaced, for they are the very accomplices described by Jefferson as 'hiring' themselves to rivet the chains upon the necks" of their fellow citizens."
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.... This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson
Guiliani for attorney General! Oliver North for Defense secretary. Bolton for Sec. of State.
I was thinking Diamond and Silk as co press secretaries, but Milo would be AOK with me too.
I think I would prefer Flynn as DefSec.
Diamond and Silk are heroes and I would like to think that the Donald will do well for them.
Why? Just because some liberal is trying to browbeat you doesn't mean you have to cave into their harangue. Next time, just ask them for an operational definition of "conservative" and go from there. Chances are they cannot give you one.
