Trump Picking the best People or?

[Nostra]

Sounds to me like Trump just wants loyalists there that will support his dictatorship.

You do know that Maduro did the same thing (get rid of the military that was in charge before) in Venezuela, don't you?

Petro in Colombia has also been doing this. Both of these "leaders" are dictators. You want a dictatorship here?

Name a President who doesn’t want people on his staff who will support his agenda, simp?

What an idiot.

Trump has a much better handle on things this time. No more Wrays or Sessions. His AG will be a great improvement from the recent Dem. dogturds of Holder, Lynch and Garland. Noem at DHS will be infinitely better than that squirming, lying, weaseling midget asshole, Mayorkas. This is going to be the best government since Eisenhower. MAGA

I do apologize for the typo and misinformative statement. I have made the appropriate change. I did not mean that he was inexperienced at war, I meant he was inexperienced at being a general and running a war. He was only a platoon leader in the military and that does not qualify him to be Secretary of Defense. He has not been in charge of any wars or strategizing a war.

We don't want or need any more of your ******* forever wars, you fascist asshole.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Well he has often spoken on the topic of constutionality and intervention (defined properly) in a way that I agree with. He's often spoken out against needless foreign entanglements.

Guess we'll have to see how it pans out.

What do you thnk abut Massie being asked about Secretary of Agriculture?

If I were Massie, I'd tell em to shove it. Though he would be a good one for that role, I find that he's far more useful to the cause of liberty right where he is.

I don't think anything official has been announced about Massie, but I agree that I would prefer him to stay in the House. My feeling is that he's been in the House for how long, though, and he may not want to keep spinning his wheels there and may be ready for something different even if Dept. of Agriculture doesn't ultimately work out. I won't begrudge him that.

Appointing the best for their job is only one part of reforming the military. Quietly retiring and removing those who court martialed men and women for pronoun use has got to be done,

Pronoun battle is distracting the armed forces

A national defense analyst says it's time to remove from the Pentagon those who want to court-martial servicemembers for "misgendering."

None of the generals today have experience in running a successful war. All those generals are dead. Generals today have only run failures. Their success is in political fawning.

Next best are men who have been in command on the ground and won successful operations. Pete Hegseth is definitely qualified.

This is the assessment of Hegseth from those in the Pentagon that KNOW him!

‘Who the f--k is this guy?’: Defense world reacts to Trump’s surprise Pentagon pick​

“Hegseth is undoubtedly the least qualified nominee for SecDef in American history,” one veterans’ advocate said.

“[Trump] puts the highest value on loyalty,” Eric Edelman, who served as the Pentagon’s top policy official during the Bush administration, said in an interview. “It appears that one of the main criteria that’s being used is, how well do people defend Donald Trump on television?”

One assessment was more blunt. “Who the **** is this guy?” said a defense industry lobbyist who was granted anonymity to offer candid views. The lobbyist said they had hoped for “someone who actually has an extensive background in defense. That would be a good start.”

This OP is not about more wars or less. It is about competence in doing the job Trump hired you to do.

We don't need any more of your ******* incompetent presidency you support, you ******* Trump ass-licker.

So you've been an analyst for 47 years and do your own analysis?

What prompted you to project this "analysis"?

"We will soon see given that she will win the election."

Here is a fact about Oil production that disproves totally the Republican accusations about Biden being against "Fossil Fuels"

as I have stated a million times before, data, statistics and fact.

Suffice it to state to begin with, that Trump's first presidency was evaluated as the worst ever and that was the analysis of 157 presidential historians.

 

[Blaster]

Trump is not taking anyone from the swamp for his cabinet.

 

[Luckyone]

Trump isn't a "lover" of any of those fellows.

He just understands that dealing with world leaders is part of the job and getting along with them civilly is very useful.

 

[JimH52]

trump is picking the people that will be loyal to him, kiss his ring, and are willing to break the law for him. The second time around he better understands how to commit crimes and get away with it. The US Supremacist Court has pretty much given him a "Get out of Jail" ticket.

You can count on trump overreaching and screwing up royally. But what damage he does in the process is still to be determined. I just hope the country survives his mental gymnastics and hissy fits.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Hilarious! This is what they wanted

Pentagon chief shocked Washington, which had expected the nominee to be a seasoned lawmaker or someone with defense policy experience.

POLICY experience. Meaning democrat DEI POLICY experience. Seasoned lawmaker. That's what they wanted. A reliable democrat.

Trump's picks are inspired.

The OP has had a terrible week

Unfortunately, I do not feel we will survive this presidency. That is why I have advocated so hart that Trump not be reelected. Nonetheless, he was elected and that was the will of the people.

Understand that when Chavez in Venezuela was elected, it was the will of the people. When Petro in Colombia was elected, it was the will of the people and in both of those situations (especially the former), it destroyed the country

 

[citygator]

This is universally considered a bad pick. No one is complaining Marco Rubio is unqulified. Many people dont like Rubio on the right and left but he is at least qualified to do the job. This Pete guy, however, is unqualified. A reserve Major and a talking head on TV. Seem like a disaster to me.

They are? then why do most of them fail? You do know that 85% of Trump's pics in his first presidency left or were fired. Is that what you call "inspiring"?

Trump was right to force them out or fire them. The mistake was trying to make nice with democrats and include them in a coalition government.

He's learned now, democrats are the enemy. They cannot be trusted. They must be fought and excluded. Never to be trusted.

trump has a model he is following. Note that Orban spoke at the CPAC. trump and repubs envision a one party country. They have the richest man in the world sitting there with the capability to buy all progressive and/or moderate media outlets. Once the airwaves are in the control of trump and/or his cronies, an opposition party has no chance to win. When Musk or one of trump's billionaire supporters buys CNN, MSNBC of one of the networks, you will know the plan is being initiated. Read this:

It happened there: how democracy died in Hungary

A new kind of authoritarianism is taking root in Europe — and there are warning signs for America.
