Gaetz is the one bad pick so far to me. Objectively awful pick as AG, no argument there.

I think RFK is high risk high reward in his role. If he focuses on food/nutrition and removing harmful chemicals etc I think he has a chance to make a huge positive impact in that role. If he focuses on being anti vaxx then obviously that will suck. I could see that one going either way but I’m actually optimistic he can Make America Healthy Again. It’s certainly long overdue.

How many people did the Nazis shuttle to concentration and/or death camps over the four years after the Final Solution? The Khmer Rouge moved about a million people out of the cities in a matter of months.

The point is that deportation capacity depends in large measure on a) willingness to follow rules; and b) commitment of resources. If Trump tries hard enough, 400,000 deportations will be easy.

It won’t happen but I guarantee you he will inquire about using cattle cars.
 
Looking like Allen Weisselberg going to have to get back in the game! Trump is milking his nominees like Blagojevich! He's got gold baby!
 
My gosh, people on this thread are saying RFK jr could be a good pick? What? There’s no way to bridge this divide.

That’s what has become obvious to me. Pubs don’t want and will never accept a bridge. The shit they spew about what Dems need to do to reach them is just that, shit.

Dems should do like Pubs and just go scorched earth.

Keep in mind, these are "moderate" Pubs too.
 


Yeah, this is definitely the guy we want in charge of public health! Seems like a totally normal, levelheaded, even keeled kind of guy capable of making reasonable and rational decisions as it pertains to the health of 300+ million people.
 
My candidate has hit a pot hole. which is worse

Gaetz as AG
Gabbard as DNI
Kennedy as HHS

Has to be gaetz, then kennedy, then gabbard. Hegseth looks like a homerun comparatively.

This isn’t a Democrat/Republican thing. RFK is no Republican. He’s a Democrat-turned-Independent.

You’re right—it’s not a matter of party. It’s a matter of fitness for the position.

If all you’re concerned about is food safety and nutrition guidelines, I can see you supporting him for head of FDA (although I’d vehemently oppose even that, because he clearly has no clue what he’s talking about).

But he’s being put up as head of HHS, which oversees the FDA in addition to things like Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, the NIH, and a whole bunch of other health-focused governmental agencies.

He’s a fucking idiot with no business at the helm of such an important institution, and you’re a fucking idiot for not understanding the scope of what you’re advocating for.
 


“It’s simply that Matt Gaetz has a very long, steep hill to get across the finish line,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.). “And it will require the spending of a lot of capital, and you just have to ask: if you could get him across the finish line, was it worth the cost?”
 

Trump’s team skips FBI background checks for some Cabinet picks​



“… Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work of implementing his agenda, people briefed on the plans said. Critics say the intrusive background checks sometimes turn up embarrassing information used to inflict political damage.

…
Ultimately, the president has the final authority on who he nominates and decides to share intelligence with, regardless of the established protocol set in the wake of World War II to make sure those selections don’t have unknown foreign ties or other issues that could raise national security concerns.

But circumventing background checks would be bucking a long-established norm in Washington. It also reflects Trump’s deep mistrust of the national security establishment, which he derides as the Deep State. Sources say he has privately questioned the need for law enforcement background checks.

Dan Meyer, a national security attorney in Washington, DC, said the incoming Trump administration “doesn’t want harmony.” They “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm; they want to hammer the norm,” he said. …”
