Featured Cabinet Positions, Staff

What are some of the Cabinet Positions/Other Positions that you predict, like, would like, dislike, and what do you believe the impact is?


Chief of Staff: I believe Reince Priebus was a balanced pick and don’t expect any credible complaints.

Chief Strategist: John Bolton – not sure what I think of him – other than first appearance suggests to me he has a bit of a hygiene problem…

Secretary of State: I have a feeling Jeff Sessions might settle in here…

Attorney General: I’ll throw out a wild thought here that just might be a real possibility - Ted Cruz. I think I could go with this, believe he could pack a punch when needed.

Defense Secretary: Love that Tom Cotton breaks with the likes of John McCain. I would think L-General Michael Flynn might be in the running, but if not there it seems pretty obvious he’ll have a major role in our defense such as National Security Advisor – I would expect Flynn’s wish will be granted.

Department of Education: I would love to see Ben Carson do this, but understand he’s not interested in being tied down to one area. We need someone who deals with the teaching in our schools against the constitution and the liberalism takeover in our colleges.

Department of Homeland Security: Someone who is no non-sense, tough, thorough and determined to get the job done.

Environmental Protection Agency: Someone who openly rejects radical climate control legislation and articulately calls it out for what it is.

Press Secretary: I think we need someone to tell it like it is. Laura Ingrahm would be fun, another I’d think would be a blast is Judge Jeanine Pirro

Speaker of the House: I believe if I looked up “brownnoser” in the dictionary I might see a picture of Paul Ryan’s two faces.

 

Ben Carson has said he's been offered this position before - before he made the breakfast speech, but feels he has bigger fish to fry.. I'd like to see someone in this position seriously deal with the rising obesity problems - ah, wouldn't that open a can of worms!

 

Mitt Romney? - Now that would be pretty gracious...

 

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency: Mike Pompeo

Well, …definitely not a liberal!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pompeo

As far as his views and the CIA appointment goes:

· In February 2016, Pompeo said Snowden "should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence. - (Talk about telling us what you really feel!)

· " Pompeo has advocated for rolling back post-Snowden surveillance reforms, saying "Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database." - (It's all about balance and necessity, but such power might need to be kept in check.)

· "In a 2013 speech on the House floor, Pompeo said Muslim leaders who fail to denounce acts of terrorism done in the name of Islam are "potentially complicit" in the attacks." -(I can buy that)

· "Pompeo opposes closing Guantánamo Bay detention camp. After a 2013 visit to the prison, Pompeo said, of the prisoners who were on hunger strike, "It looked to me like a lot of them had put on weight." "- (Sarcasm or hardness?)

I’m okay with a little attitude of no-non-sense when it comes to dealing with Radical Islamists but this guy seems to demonstrate enough authoritarianism that I kind of hope he’s keep in check – being the CIA’s potential.

One thing that caught my attention is his position on GMO:

· GMOs

· "Pompeo opposes requiring food suppliers to label food made with Genetically modified organisms as GMO, and to that end in April 2014 introduced the "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act" to block states from requiring mandatory GMO food labeling."

Uhh, IMO consumers should have the right to know if that's their choice to know, it is not the government’s call to block that info. This attitude concerns me, if Pompeo doesn’t care what he stuffs in his mouth that’s his prerogative but I take offense to the attitude that decision should be made for me. Hopefully this isn’t a preview of an overall overzealous attitude of Big Brother telling us: “Don’t worry, I know what’s best for you.”

 

Attorney General: Jeff Sessions - no objection to him having an agenda of nipping the promotion of having a country full of "potheads" (yes, I recognize this not a "politically correct" term) in the bud...
