Trumps appointments.

[pianopraze]

Thought I’d make one thread rather than several little ones.

Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, Director of Nation Intelligence. Very happy about this one.
Musk and Vivek to DOGE to cut down size of government. Extatic about this one
Gaetz as attorney General. Split on this one. Gaetz is needed in Congress.
Susie Wiles White House Chief Of Staff. No opinion as I don’t know her.
Noem as Secretary Homeland Security. Very happy.
Zelden EPA. No opinion don’t know him.
Rubio Secretary of State. Disappointed. Time will tell. 
Ratclif CIA. Don’t know him. No opinion.

Feel free to voice opinions on any or all.

please post new appointments as you see them.

Wonderful thread! Thank you for creating it!

I’ll reserve my opinions, for now. As I’m pleased with the progress thus so far.

The current Admin is going to have to take Tulsi off their flight watch lists !!

   
She has questions and WILL GET answers!

Noem as Secretary Homeland Security

Feel free to voice opinions on any or all.

As long as she doesn't throw the immigrants into a ditch and shoot them I guess she'll be fine.

I still think floating the idea of RFK Jr. for the Department of Health and Human Services position is a necessary comic relief.

"CDC Safety Guidlines For Sanitary Whale Carcus Dismemberment"

Or if he heads Department of Interior "Forest Service Guide To Urban Roadkill Relocation."

But he's likely not going to give RFK JR. anything hilarious to do.

Sliver linings, I need them.

Wouldn’t that mean that Tulsi would technically be in charge of the morons who put her on that watch list ?

The irony is delicious. No?

UPDATE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Musk Twitter quoting Trump.

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

I wonder what obstacles any new direction will have to overcome?  It's bad enough that the food supply and the medical community have all been corporatized and rendered into the tools of economic exploitation, but add to that the massive influences that lobbyists and entrenched political careerism has; I would expect a literal campaign of terror to ensue from Big Food/Pharma/Tech/Media protecting all their inflated revenue streams.

It's so sad that our representatives chose them over us... how did that happen, you may ask?... it wasn't an "accident"... it was engineered.

Well I think I agree with you that corporatization is entrenched and significant systemic changes will continue to be resisted. But I do think we'll see a tone change away from "trust the science" at least and perhaps some superficial addressing of the worst of the abuses as Republicans see things. This tracks with the Republican-vs-Democrat differences in a new Pew poll released Monday:
