ANALYSIS/OPINION:
I’ll just say this for starters: I have no idea who President-elect Donald Trump will chose for his Cabinet. Many names have been bantered around by the press, some may come to fruition, others not. Regardless, here are my two cents on what I believe would be an unstoppable Trump administration:
Department of Homeland Security: Texas Rep. Mike McCaul
Mr. McCaul, who is head of the House Homeland Security Committee, has been an avid Trump supporter and has the experience to take on the agency he’s been overseeing. In his speech at the Republican National Convention this summer, Mr. McCaul said Mr. Trump’s presidency would “shake the ground” terrorists walk on and has criticized President Barack Obama’s policy on the Islamic State as being tone-deaf. He has a strong position on Russia, telling Mr. Trump they are “no friends of ours,” and has been at the forefront in calling for increased cybersecurity measures.
Defense: Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions
Mr. Sessions — who has supported Mr. Trump from the beginning — served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve for 13 years and currently sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Being a veteran on Capitol Hill, he can navigate the political waters of the Pentagon better than, say, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, whose name is also being floated.
Attorney General: South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy

That was my thought as well. President Trump will want to Drain The Swamp. The most polluted water flows through the US Senate. How does that muck get cleaned up without Senator Sessions to navigate those dark, murky waters?
Worried about Dems mounting campaigns to win those vacant Senate and House seats.
Well that’s it isn’t it. I’d hate to see any of the good ones leave office, but I suppose it may come to that.
Some good suggestions in there and looks like a few traps too.
Forget Hayden. Don’t be so cliche and make Ben Carson Surgeon General.
Don’t take too many Congress Critters and definitely be careful pulling Senators out.
DHS and AG shouldn’t exist.
Choose no Senators unless a Republican governor can appoint their successors at least until 2018, without a special election. The Senate majority is too narrow. I don’t care how Republican you think a state is. Democrats will see every Senate special election as a chance to regain control of one of the branches and short circuit the Republican agenda before it begins. Every such election will be WWIII. The MSM will be in all-out attack mode. The graveyards will vote. Every misstep the candidate has ever made running back to age six will be a point of attack. If our guy was kept in for recess for running in the hallways in second grade, he will be a hooligan and a thug by the time the MSM is done. It’s not worth the risk. Find somebody other than sitting Senators to fill the cabinet. There are plenty of good people who will serve.
That’s another funny thing coming from the same centralists “liberals” (what an insult to the word) - suddenly the face of Supreme Court is something to fear.
Well maybe it is - but it was the same libtards who turned the Supreme Court into just another unelected bureaucracy who “decide” for the rest of us “what it’s going to be”.
These unelected Maoists in black robes now become law makers but that is not their role. They are not to write our state legislative laws, our local, state and federal laws. We elect representatives to the Congress to do that. The lower court us then to look at the law and what it says is to be what it says, then look at someone in front of the court and determine “did they do or not do what it says?” ... their role ia not “let me write the law instead of Congress and the people’s representatives”.
Same with the Supreme Court. They are not to write new laws. The constitution isn’t complicated. And it can be amended by the vote and representatives of the peopie.
Not by the Supreme Court.
These unelected robes do not have the right to write laws, write the constitution in their own way. That is not their role. They look at the paper and the words on it, which isn’t very hard to understand and really doesn’t take a genius to “get it” even though some libtards have a problem doing that - and then think, hmmm, “did they do or not do what it says?” ...
But the libtards turned the role of the Court into a role of unelected bureacrats who write the law. The same libtards turned the Court into a monster of central, unelected power.
I don’t give a damn about “court precedent” - that too has become a sick game of depotism and huge populations now scoff at it and say openly, “I don’t give a flying **** what the Supreme Sociopaths say, screw them”. In one way, by means of their own power thumping arrogance and unelected pomp they have not only become a despotic symbol, they have turned themselves into a joke.
So that it what it has come to. Fine.
There is nothing in the Constitution that says there are 9 court justices. At times we had 6. Other times we had 10, then down to 7, other times less and then more ...
So I say Trump nominates 4 more as soon as possible and gets them approved through the majority Republican Congress as soon as possible to bring the number up to 12.
Libtards have a problem with that? After all, too bad, they were the obes giving these unelected robes way too much power to do things they never were supposed to do.
So lets play by their rules.
Folks like me are contacting Trump right now. Contacting our legislatures. We want 12. It’s our constitutional right. It’s right there, in the constitution. We want 12, we can.
We need sessions in the Senate.
DR. Carson. Dr Carson DHS. Rudulph Guliani attorney general. Sarah Palin sec of the Interior
With voter fraud and more immigrants Michele Obama or another democrat/socialist will be our next president in 4 years . This democrat will undo all that President Trump will do . It’s because of the 1965 immigration act will give them millions more immigrant voters from the 3rd world and because of voter fraud. See below for how to combat this or all we have is 4 years. It’s simple math we barely won this.
Democrats will have us totally outnumbered and with voter fraud in 4 years will be unstoppable.
A democrat socialist Bernie Sanders, or Michele obama will be our next president in 4 years and undo all that President Trump did unless we immediately start work on or get the message to President Trump to :
1. Repeal the 1965 immigration act
2. national voter id to cut democrat voter fraud which is the millions of votes
President Trump has to change the 1965 immigration act so he can get a 2nd term . 8 Years of Trump = America great for generations. 3 days of Trump and you already see what has done without any power.
If he has to leave the Senate, Sessions should have the more prestigious Secy of State job. Trump needs a top man to cleanout Hillary’s muck.
And....puuuuleezze...forget Trey Gowdy for anything.....he stupidly let Hillary testify in public rather than in a private Benghazi hearing. Gowdy let Hillary get away w/ murder.
I’d pick either General James Mattis or John Kelly for Secretary of Defense. Alan West would be my first pick for Secretary of the Army! Admiral “Ace” Lyons for Secretary of the Navy!
Leave Sessions in the Senate! We need that man to provide leadership in that cabal of thieves!
Are you going to spam every single thread today?
No just posting to a few threads before I leave for work
Whatta laff.
Amnesty McCaul for DHS? The Bush gang butt boy?
He’ll be rolling out the welcome mat. After all, Clear Channel needs some more listeners for their Spanish stations.
My choice?
Joe Arpaio for DHS Secretary.
Not that DHS should exist, but if it has to, lets put someone in their who plans on doing the job.
I would appoint John McCain to something just to get him out of the Senate!!!
McCain and Grahamnasty as janitors for the white house
Dogcatcher, maybe, but he’d give them all amnesty.
And Ryan too as toilet cleaner for the white house , get that traitor out of the Speakers role.
A 90-year old Navy Secretary would certainly be one for the record books!
