@Horace said in President-Elect Trump's cabinet:
Matt Gaetz for AG.
Wow. And not in a good way.
Tulsi Gabbard for DNI.

Gaetz seems like the worst pick so far. Let's see if he is confirmed. I think he has made lots of enemies.

Wait, does he have to give up his seat before the confirmation? This could be a brilliant opportunity.

This move would undermine the good choices that he has made and would build a solid wall of opposition to much of his Presidency. This is a singularly bad move and I will very much encourage the Senate to not confirm the nomination.

I don't think so.

Maybe it's 6D chess - have Gaetz fail confirmation, after throwing a bone to the crazy end of the GOP. They're satisfied, and he can say, "Look, I tried."

Wait, can someone on the terror watchlist (or whatever list she was on) get clearance, let alone be DNI?

I think Gabbard is a bit light for the job, but I can see going along with it.
Gaetz is a hard "No".

Yeah? Go check out the magats on X. They are ecstatic for Gaetz and are threatening Thune if he doesn’t rubber stamp Gaetz and are threatening any Republican Senators if they don’t vote for him.
The whole coalition falls on this point.

And there is no doubt that if Gaetz gets the post, Lawfare becomes de rigueur.

Some knotheads on X are not the whole party. They're not even a small portion of Trump's base.

Trump wants to know who voted for Scott and this is how he finds out.

Look at the bright side. He hasn't nominated Candace Owens (yet).

It looks like we both might have been right…

@LuFins-Dad said in WSJ speculates on President-Elect Trump's cabinet:
Not cabinet, but Mike Huckabee was just named Ambassador to Israel.
Good choice.

Huckabee’s a very smart guy. He’d have made a good president.

Steve Miller made a pretty astute and funny comment.
I find it amusing that there are two people in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency.
