President-Elect Trump's cabinet
-
I enjoyed this conversation with a guy called Elbridge Colby (whitest name ever), who is the grandson of a guy who used to run the CIA (whitest lineage ever). Tucker thinks he may play an important role in Trump's administration, possibly secretary of defense. He refers to the Trump movement as the "new left", and talks a bit about cultures and their pathologies as they age. Lots of it resonated with me.

That's gonna leave a mark.
Yeah, I think that Caravan’s turned around right now, and I think you’ll likely see a little bit of an exodus going the other way. Some of the more recent illegal arrivals might decide it’s best to leave on their terms than Homan’s.
I understand that his approach on family separation is to use it as preventative measure. Make people less likely to cross out of fear that they will be separated from their family, but I’m not crazy about that idea. I think that just a stark “no entry, period” and if we find you crossing the border, you go to the end of the line for possible entry and immigration.

Just looked it up: If there's a vacancy in a congressional seat in New York, the governor has to call a special election for between 70 and 80 days of the vacancy. It's not appointed.

Depending on the GOP majority in the House, she may not take the position.

Yeah we talked about that when Santos was finding out.

Wow. According to Trump, to be Senate leader you have to agree in advance to forfeit the Advise and Consent role prescribed by the Constitution.
No, he wants his people and he wants them as quickly as possible. That's why most people being vetted are asked if they will take an "acting" appointment.
Look, Trump is Trump. He can pull some boners. But he also can be taught. I think he is really honing in on his first 100 days and wants to make hay.

Lee Zeldin - EPA

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. He ran for NY governor not long ago. Well, probably a while now.
