Trump the Disrupter Picks Some Cabinet Doozies - 11/14/2024

Trump is a disrupter. Let's start with 2016/17. Trump was new and let establishment people recommend staff for him. It was a disaster to him and his movement. The whole D.C. establishment worked, sometimes in shadows, other times in broad daylight, to thwart his agenda and protect the gravy-train status quo. People he was told could be trusted proved to NOT be trustworthy, many times feeling more qualified due to their experience than Trump to make decisions, they went behind his back. They attacked him. They leaked. Sometimes they told truths they had no authority to tell, other times they lied.

As Trump's candidacy advanced this time, I have advocated repeatedly that he clean house. And I mean clean house. Dee Oh Jay, Eff Bee Eye, See Aye Eh, etc., etc., etc.

This time around Trump knows he can't trust the scum in D.C. None of them. All the shrieking and wailing about his picks is because they know they'll have a harder time throwing shade, roadblocks, and law-fare at him to undermine his Presidency. All the right people hate these new picks. The more they hate them, the better I feel about them. My support of Trump was specifically a repudiation of the D.C. establishment and the status quo. My happiness is inversely proportional to their unhappiness. I'm pretty happy.

Matt Gaetz seems to be the highest lightning rod of the bunch. I'm not a huge fan, OK? But I like the pick, if for no other reason than it's Trump's big middle finger being pointed at the Dee Oh Jay and Eff Bee Eye.

I like Tulsi Gabbard at Dee En Eye. I hope the first thing she does is find out who put her on a terror watch list and outs them. The Gee Oh Pee traded warhawk Liz Cheney for Tulsi. Well played. Well played indeed.

I like the Pete Hegseth pick at Dee Oh Dee. A SecDef who isn't a slave to the Military-Industrial complex is a breath of fresh air. I suspect he will yank out the woke by the roots and get our military back to focused on it's core business, warmaking and war deterrence based on strength.

I love Tom Homan as border czar. Love him.

I love the Zeldin, Wiles, Noem, Radcliff, and Stefanik picks.

It's D.O.G.E. time!

For me the most interesting, in addition to Gaetz, are Elon and Vivek and their new Department of Government Efficiency. Clean the house, fellas. Some departments need a trimming badly. Others need to be eliminated, totally. And please, while you're at it, find out where all the "lost and missing" money goes. It ain't lost, it's stolen or hidden. I know you know that.

People who ignore history are damned to repeat it. With these picks, Trump is doing his best to ensure his first term was a learning experience that allows for MAXIMUM DISRUPTION in his second go-round. 

Fuck D.C., they have it coming. Let it rip, Mr. President. It's a whole new ballgame.
