Donald Trump is building a very strong cabinet and he's making a statement.

He's putting folks that are hostile to the mission of federal agencies in charge of those agencies.

We are fixin to get serious about energy independence & border security

the libertarian in me is sad about having access to good cheap weed, but the pragmatic realist in me knows it's a good trade off to get less restrictive and overbearing government regulations gone

I keep hearing rumors that Trump isn't serious about his goals. I keep seeing actions that tell me different



Exxon’s Rex Tillerson Is Top Candidate for Secretary of State

Agreed, his cabinet picks have been more Conservative/libertarian that I thought they would. I'm encouraged. Now if only we can keep Sessions from going off the deep end on the "war on drugs".

So refreshing to see a POTUS who actually cares to make good on his promises to MAGA!

I saw on Fox and Friends this morning that there was a questionnaire sent to employees at the EPA asking questions about their feelings on certain matters (climate change was mentioned), and if they had donated any money or attended any conferences etc about those things.

There are supposedly alot of very scared greenie employees in the EPA. Many assume that they will be unemployed soon.

I like his EPA picks and the fenerals he's selected, but O really really really hate Sessions as AG and Trump tapping that Goldman Saches guy. I will give Trump credit where due, but those two picks are...deplorable

why would they be scared?

they've been doing a really good job, so they shouldn't be nervous - right?

I hope he does go "off the deep end" over the "war on drugs"
I'm actually for legalization of drugs and want the law changed.
But as long as it is the law it needs to be enforced.
It is his job to "enforce the law"
When he does his job correctly he doesn't get to pick and choose the laws he will enforce.

We have already had enough of Presidents and Attorney Generals who wont enforce the law.

Probably has a lot to do with why the stock market is through the roof.

I disagree.

The Government should only protect a second or third party action.

We should be free to choose our own demise.

Only when my actions impinge the rights of another should laws prevent me from doing so.
If I want to kill myself by not wearing a seatbelt, smoking, jumping off a building etc. That is my own business. Not the Governments.
