Wonderful.
A gun-grabber who now has the entire military at his disposal, and Posse Comitatus is a quaint relic of another time.

What is it about the Republicans in the Senate? Same problem as the rest of the country. Not many are actual Christians.

It’s okay though because it’s against Iran’s religion to have nuclear weapons.

I think Van Jones nomination was withdrawn when it became clear he wouldn’t win a confirmation vote. But you’re right, I cannot think of anyone else.
