Bingo! I’m lovin’ every minute of this, Jim.

It gets better everyday. It’s clear to me that he really meant it when he said he’s going to make America great again!

I’m sure glad that it appears he’s kicked Romney to the curb.

This will make democrats/liberals go bat guano crazy...

Liberals are already bat guano crazy and that's what makes them so dangerous. Trump already knows that and knows not to trust them for one second.

The Left is trying to start a conflict with Russia. Is this an effort to ramp up the military-industrial complex with money being siphoned off into the pockets of politicians? I think so.

Romney never had a chance. We don’t even know if he even wanted the job

He probably wants it more now that he is not going to get it. Probably how he felt in December 2012 as well.

> The liberals/democrat are going cray because of all the "billionaires" and generals Trump is nominating !

Well all those loser multimillionaires before them weren't doing their job. Now that we have givers instead of takers with proven track records on how to run a business instead of stealing from it and bankrupting it we might get some traction and pull America out of the proverbial ditch. First they need to drain the swamp. Get a lot of the useless thieving ogliarchs removed from office. People like McCain and Graham. And every MB operative spy; you don't put someone like Brennan at the head of the CIA or Johnson with Homeland Security. Anyone with half a brain could see that. The only reason that makes sense is if you 're a Muslim traitor appointing people as spies or to protect Muslim interests.

And damn you wanted that US Russian conflict so bad didn't you, McCain? I know it must pain you that all your DOD contractor friends won't be stuffing your pockets the next election because of it but I'm pretty sure you'll be useless to them after your out of office, anyway...: )

I think the Sec of State position has not yet been chosen. There are a few names it could be, and this Exxon guy is one of them.

If Trump had dumped all of them on us at one time, then we wouldn’t have had a chance to get into the dirty laundry of each so much, and we would have smiled and supported our candidate at the beginning of his presidency.

As it is — and it may be his intent — we get to pick and slice each one of them. Maybe Trump gets info from us....who knows.

However, that doesn’t mean that once he chooses, that we shouldn’t give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that his intent is to promote his agenda through these people. A CEO, for example, is an expert at fulfilling an objective. So is a general. If these guys are given a mission by Trump, and in Trump’s own words, and according to Trump’s own agenda, why would we think that they would not do what they are trained at and excellent at and go forth and perform that mission to the best of their ability?

Isn’t that how these guys can go from CEO of an agricultural conglomerate to CEO of an mechanical conglomerate and be successful? They’re successful at completing a mission, and not necessarily wed to the product they’ve been promoting in their prior CEO role.

Word is John Bolton as number 2 at State

Sounds like a great combination of talent to me.

As I watched and listened to Mr. Tillerson I thought, “LBJ, but born again and walking in the Holy Spirit.” What an excellent individual for POTUS Trump to work and rub shoulders with.

Al Gore: Extremely Interesting.

Algore is conveniently debuting his Global Warming v2.004 video at the 2017 Sundance Festival January 19-29, where the only thing hot will be lodging costs soaring up to $8000 per day. Conveniently coinciding with Inauguration Day, Sundance film festivities are held in Park City, Utah, where the average Jan. high temperature is 35ºF, and the avg. low is 9ºF.

Brrrr.
