President-Elect Trump's cabinet
-
But still better than the other side…
-
Pete Hegseth for SecDef.
Was NOT expecting that.
He'll probably be the first SecDef with ink.

Isn’t she the one that brought a gamer laptop to his trial or something? If so, she needs a good spanking.

Was that picture taken during Pride Month? Lots of half naked dudes, some with dog collars.
Only non-witches get due process.

Uh, that's the NYC SEAL Swim across the Hudson River. Those "collars" are swim goggles.
If I was you, I'd go down there next year and make fun of those guys in person.
Nice knowing you...

Department of Veteran Affairs? Great pick. SecDef? FFS…

Princeton, Harvard, 2 bronze stars. Current rank is Major.
I agree, better at VA.

Is he imagining that Congress will create a new department? Or did he just want to goose Dogecoin? (which doubled this week)

I'm not sure either of these guys are astute enough (or are so incentivized) to realize we can't really fix fiscal problems without a serious bipartisan commitment. Any true fix would cause a lot of pain to a shitload of people and if one party were responsible the other party will run on relieving the pain and would likely be victorious.
At some point we will need to get the two parties to jointly agree to each cause pain to their bases and stick to their guns.
Actually in today's world the above might not be sufficient, given the parties relative lack of strength. Today it would be too easy for someone to run for the nomination explicitly against the deal that had been struck, and the parties are no longer in a good position to block them.
Man that's depressing.

Exactly. Especially in todays world, where every little thing is thought to be beneficial to only one side.
