Never Has Any President Had Such A Horrendous Group Of Cabinet Nominees!

admin 20 Comments

Donald Trump is setting a record for the most horrendous selection of Cabinet nominees in American history!

Every President will have critics about one or more of his appointees, but Trump beats them all, and not just the traditional four spoken about–Matt Gaetz (now withdrawn); Pete Hegseth; Tulsi Gabbard; and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

There are others who are also terrible choices, including Mike Huckabee to be US Ambassador to Israel; Kristi Noem to be Secretary of Homeland Security; Lee Zeldin, Environmental Protection Agency; Doug Burgum, Secretary of the Interior; Chris Wright, Secretary of Energy; Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce; Mehmet Oz, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; and Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education.

And Trump is refusing to allow FBI Background Checks, which makes it terrifying to have Cabinet Officers who are not fully vetted!

    I’m somewhat horrified by some Democrats like Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Sen Cory Booker saying that RFK Jr. isn’t such a bad guy because he’s in favor of healthy eating and wants to improve the food supply. Those are good things. But this guy has spent a lifetime trafficking in conspiracy theories about diseases and demonizing science. And he’s f—ing crazy. Anything good he does will be outweighed by the destruction of public health. Do they not understand that?

    Jeff Stein at the Washington Post tweeted:

    Musk, Ramaswamy today gave us first “DOGE” roadmap; as I understand the key steps:

    1) Put DOGE ppl at each U.S. agency, then use “advanced technology” (AI?) to have them identify “thousands” of regulations to cut across government

    2) Give Trump a list of “thousands” of regs to cut across the government, & have him approve their elimination

    3) Identify “the minimum number of employees” necessary to maintain each agency’s core function, which should be lower once 2 is complete. (NB: Musk oversaw ~80% reduction in X headcount)

    4) Cut the federal employees – Musk/Ramaswamy call for for severance packages/ “incentives for early retirement,” but we have no details

    5) Cut programs where Congress’s specific spending authorization has lapsed (This category includes VA health care, NASA, antipoverty programs)

    6) Approve a “temporary suspension of payments” amid “large-scale audits” (Details, specifics hugely unclear)

    7) Assert POTUS authority to stop spending w/o Congressional approval by challenging 1974 budget law on impoundments

    Another nutjob pick.

    Trump picks former Florida Rep. Weldon to lead CDC

    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/22/dave-weldon-cdc-trump-pick-00191383

    “While in Congress, Weldon introduced legislation to move oversight of vaccine safety from the CDC to an independent agency within HHS. He has also repeatedly voiced serious reservations about the independence of the federal government’s vaccine safety review process, and previously suggested that a mercury-based preservative once commonly used in vaccines, thimerosal, is linked to a rise in autism.”

    Texas approves new Bible-based curriculum for elementary schools

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/22/texas-approves-bible-based-curriculum-elementary-schools

    “Teachers can opt in, but state is offering financial incentive of $60 a student for participating school districts — The Texas board of education voted 8-7 on Friday to approve a new Bible-based curriculum in elementary schools.”

    This is completely moronic and also a violation of the separation of church and state.

    I certainly hope he’s just joking about that.
