Trump To Put Raytheon Lobbyist In Charge Of Army
Last Wednesday, it was reported that Donald Trump was moving to nominate Raytheon lobbyist Mark Esper for secretary of the Army. Raytheon is one of the “big five” defense contractors, and the president’s decision comes at a time when concerns are being raised over the idea of defense industry executives being placed in senior positions at the Pentagon.
Drain the swamp!
Actually instead of Don Jr. and Ivanka it should be Guy Fieri heading the DOJ and Andrew Dice Clay would be the ideal Secretary of State.
With all those vacant state department positions (get on it!), a couple very likely candidates come to mind like Vin Deisel, Milo Yiannopoulos, Scotty Baio, Len Dykstra, Lindsay Lohan, Hulk Hogan, Paula Dean, Gene Simmons, Roger Clemens, Gary Busey, Carrot Top…
On PBS Newshour a couple days ago they were discussing and comparing the roles between Huckabee and Scaramuche! Scaramuche! (fandango) when Amy Walter mentioned a most salient point - that the number one PR figure in the WH is of course преЦАРдент Trump, himself.
Wait! Some terrorist loving swine is suggesting that the armament industry and the Pentagon are too closely connected? The Devil you say!
Why you gotta lump Vin Diesel in with that group? Unless I’ve missed something, Vin Diesel is a pretty nice guy. Outside of his screen persona, he seems like a goofy likable guy who loves role playing games. Did I miss a memo? Is he a dick now too? 
Already slated for Trump Campaign Women’s Outreach.
Eisenhower, pfft. More like EisenStalin, amirite?
arrgh, leave me out of that
So here is a thing: I just popped over to dol.gov to check something out and find a kind of ad-like graphic near the bottom of the page, which contains “$60,000 – the average starting salary of an apprentice”.
Yeah, nothing at all wrong there.
Swamp the drain.
No, no, let’s get him! One of the open positions is ambassador to Spain: he can make his next Big Explosions movies here. Lots of nifty landscapes to choose from, yes?
I dunno, if Trump finally works up the nerve to fire Sessions and try a recess appointment so he can have Mueller fired (assuming McConnell conveniently leaves him the opening), I think he’ll finally manage to get some serious pushback. Or, if he is dumb enough to try to veto the Russia/Iran/N. Korea sanctions bill that takes away his ability to loosen sanctions without congressional review. I know there will be naysayers, but there’s just no chance that the shit doesn’t hit the fan if either of those happen.
At this point, you’ve got to think Pence is just sitting back and licking his chops, trying not to seem too eager, knowing full well the contents of the can of whoopass Trump has been busy prying open.
My quip on Twitter was: The only reason Trump keeps talking about “loyalty” is because he can’t pronounce “subservience.”
Oompa Loompa doopity doo…
I’ve been saying this since long before the election: Trump’s main appeal is to assholes who wish they could get away with being assholes the way Trump does.
Here’s a fun conversation between two republicans who don’t know they are being recorded.
Oh, and as I write this, the CBS morning news is playing a clip from a rally last night where Trump is saying that he can president better than any president except Lincoln.
St. Ronald must be spinning in his grave.
Seriously, though, I assume that Loser Donald says this because Lincoln is the only president he’s heard of.
He can’t make one – they took out a restraining order against him:
Just in case no one caught it – and the “humor” in the URL ought to be a tipoff – this is a humor site.
This is not two Republicans. Collins is a Republican and Reed is a Democrat:
The “R.I.” after Reed’s name is for Rhode Island.
Trump will say (if he comments at all), that Collins is unattractive herself and he’d never date her, and Reed is a <scoff> Democrat and probably in love with Crooked Hillary.
