 tRump really picks the bestIf Hegseth assumes office, it would mean that someone who has said it’s a sham that extremism is a problem in the military would oversee a sprawling department whose leadership reacted with alarm when people in tactical gear stormed up the U.S. Capitol steps on Jan. 6 in military-style stack formation. He’s also shown support for members of the military accused of war crimes Also, to no one’s surprise, another sex assault allegation for another tRump appointment. This keeps getting better |

Mr. Trump said Chris Wright would help “drive U.S. energy dominance.” He hasn’t yet announced the leaders of the Treasury, Commerce and Labor Departments, among other roles. |

Building a Crony government Corpulent Clown (CC) has chosen a bomb-throwing backbench congressman who has spent his career attacking fellow Republicans and fending off sex-and-drugs allegations to run the same Justice Department that investigated him, though it did not charge him, on suspicion of trafficking underage girls. He has chosen a conspiracy theorist with no medical training who disparages the foundations of conventional health care to run the Department of Health and Human Services. CC has chosen a weekend morning television host with a history of defending convicted war criminals while sporting a Christian Crusader tattoo that has been adopted as a symbol by the far right to run the most powerful armed forces in the history of the world. He has chosen a former congresswoman who has defended Middle East dictators and echoed positions favored by Russia to oversee the nation’s intelligence agencies. |

Chris Wright An outspoken critic of policies aimed at curbing climate change, Wright has made several public comments chastising efforts to fight climate change with unproven claims. "There is no climate crisis, and we're not in the midst of an energy transition either," Wright said in a video posted to LinkedIn last year. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday named Chris Wright, the CEO of Denver-based fracking company Liberty Energy, as his pick to be the next secretary of the Department of Energy. Wright will also serve as a member on the newly formed Council of National Energy, which Trump said will consist of all agencies involved in the “permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation” of energy. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum – Trump’s pick for secretary of the Department of the Interior – will be the chairman. |

A 2021 study published in the environmental journal Environmental Research Letters, found that 99% of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. Wright is an outspoken critic of policies aimed at curbing climate change, including the Department of Energy's goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. "There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy," Wright said last year. However, the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy says clean energy, like solar and wind, create little or no carbon emissions, the greenhouse gases responsible for human-amplified global warming. |

Oz Another whack job tRump appointee. Before his Senate run, Oz was the eponymous host of the Dr Oz Show and a frequent guest on Oprah Winfrey’s show, where he often provided medical advice. His advice has proven so controversial that a 2014 British Medical Journal study declared half of it “baseless or wrong”. A year later, in 2015, a sizable group of doctors wrote to Columbia’s dean of medicine, criticizing the school’s partnership with him and calling it “unacceptable”. |

Pete Hegseth No class. Lacking compassion for others, self-centered. tRump just loves azzholes and crass louts. And these are the people tRump wants running our country |

His entire administration |

Gaetz He paid sex with girls in their teens (possibly over 18) at sex/drug parties when he was 38 while in office as a US Representative. That was only 4 years ago. Prior to his resignation as representative, Gaetz was also under ethics investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of underage sexual abuse, illegal drug use, sharing inappropriate images and videos on the House floor, misusing state identification records, converting campaign funds for personal use, and accepting impermissible gifts. AG material? Although he’s a perfect fit for tRump, I’d say NOT AG material. |
||
|
Statutory Rape What detracts from Gaetz’s outstanding qualification is that at the time he did not have a daughter he could find an underaged look-alike to molest. That would have groomed him for president among MAGAts. |

What’s amazing I do wonder about the morally bankrupt people who claim to disapprove of tRump but still make excuses (She was barely under 18) Any particular allegation can be discarded - but look at the whole picture and you get the story. tRump, the serial adulterer and sexual predator actually prefers guys who share his perverse predilections. |

Guarding the henhouse My ass! Donald J. Trump’s first presidential transition was marked by chaos and vows to drain the swamp. His second transition is moving more quickly, in part because of the leadership of a veteran operative who until earlier this year represented special interests of the sort he had once pledged to curb. The appointment of that operative, Susie Wiles, to be Mr. Trump’s chief of staff in the White House signals that his second term, like his first, may not be as hostile to special interests as his campaign rhetoric suggested. It also underscores the utility of having advisers who understand the intersection of politics, business and government. A longtime strategist and lobbyist for business interests and political campaigns, Ms. Wiles ran Mr. Trump’s campaign, and her trusted role in the new administration is already evident. She has been deeply involved in assembling Mr. Trump’s new executive office. Last week, she addressed an influential group of donors in Las Vegas, saying, among other things, that Mr. Trump planned to reinstate some of his prior executive orders that President Biden had revoked. Ms. Wiles, 67, was registered as a lobbyist until early this year. She did not sever ties with Mercury Public Affairs, where she began working in 2022, until after she was named chief of staff on Nov. 7, said two people familiar with the timing who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private matters. |

A recent lawsuit alleges Linda McMahon, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped to lead the Department of Education, knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee as early as the 1980s — allegations she denies. McMahon is the former CEO of the WWE, which she co-founded with her husband, Vince. As head of the WWE, Linda McMahon oversaw its transformation from a wrestling entertainment company into a publicly traded media empire. She stepped down in 2009 to run for Senate, but she lost in Connecticut in 2010 and 2012. As McMahon — who co-chairs Trump’s transition team — vies to be confirmed as Education secretary, a recent lawsuit raises questions about her care for children’s safety at the WWE. The suit alleges McMahon, her husband, the WWE and TKO Group Holdings, the league’s parent company, knowingly allowed employee Melvin Phillips Jr. to use his position as ringside announcer to sexually exploit children. The filing alleges Phillips would recruit children to work as “Ring Boys,” helping him set up and take down wrestling rings at WWE events. However, the job was a guise for sexually exploiting the children, which Phillips would do even in front of wrestlers and executives in the locker area, the lawsuit alleges. He also would often film his sexual abuse, according to the filing. The suit was filed in October in Baltimore County, Maryland, on behalf of five John Does, who say they were ages 13 to 15 when Phillips met and recruited them to work as “Ring Boys.” Each of them say they suffered mental and emotional abuse as a result of the alleged abuse. |

Exploitation Here it is (direct quote): Rep. Troy Nehls: “If Donald Trump says 'jump three feet high and scratch your head.' We all jump three feet high and scratch our heads. He wasn’t being negative when he said that, he was simply explaining their duty to God, so to speak. Unquestioned obedience. It was truly quite astonishing. |

How disappointing! This year, the same Senate meeting to declare DJT as president attracted no crowds, no shouts of joy from a gathered crowd. Donald must really feel like he's standing in Joe's shadow. |
