First cabinet in decades with no Hispanic
And why should we be surprised?
Click here for reuse options!Donald Trump’s Cabinet is poised to become the first since 1988 without any Hispanic officials — a huge disappointment for members of the nation’s second-largest ethnic group — as reports indicate he’ll tap former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue for agriculture secretary.
Two Hispanic Texans were under consideration for the post: former U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla, a San Antonio Republican, and Elsa Murano, a former Texas A&M president and former undersecretary for food safety.
“We’re extremely worried. This is anti-democratic,” Hector Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, an umbrella group of 40 advocacy organizations, asserting that Trump is undoing decades of progress toward more inclusion.

Yeah but we got a ton of Goldman Sachs guys.
You might remember Goldman Sachs.
Pumpkin head frequently invoked Goldman Sachs in his attacks on both the general election and primary opponents. In the primaries, Trump took particular aim at the fact that Senator Ted Cruz failed to disclose a donation from the bank during his Senate run.
Pumpkin head later branched out and included Hillary Clinton in those attacks. “I know the guys at Goldman Sachs,” Trump said. “They have total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton.”

this is not a surprise…given all the anti-Latino talk from the gop…this is a toxic government that is being organized…I don’t see anything good about these people…everything they stand for is anti-American and un-American…that has been the overall drift of the republican party…
we have a Terrorist as a president…he may not use bombs, and bullets to threaten and terrorize us, he is using our very own government against us…and it is going to get much worse, as the days pass without a uncorrupted media, pushing against the lies and propaganda…A dark time is descending upon our nation…

Clearly they’re too busy raping, dealing drugs and committing other crimes to get involved. That’s obvious to Herr Drumpf and his transition team.

Too late. No one cares now. You liberals never learned the story of the boy who cried “white privilege”.

m’lord, the moron is back with another flurry of absolute irrelevance and he seems to have put his picture here – yuch but it’s probably one of those photos that come in a new picture frame.

White Privilege? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1fec1de562ef7f3f09f2fbece94455dd17590855b11f08d763be0a5c507fc30.jpg

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

No, you misunderstand. DONALD TRUMP is the new president. Not OJ. Oh God, I hope you didn’t write in James Monroe. He’s been dead for quite some time now.

That was money privilege. White or black had nothing to do with it.

You can always tell when a Trumpanzee becomes desperate. They will divert as far back as even a decade or so and even drag out a black quarterback. Here’s what I suggest snowflake. Rather than to stew in your bigoted little Nazi bunker and spew your racist crap to a white guy. Why not find the actual root of your cowardice, insecurity and fear, IE a black person and address your issue face to face. Well….we all know the reason don’t we, you racist keyboard Rambo. The comforting part for me is that you are effectively imprisoned by your own hate and bigotry. You pretty much carry your troll basement with you. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1cacde9f4d5a3f4098d9abfcd35242850e2c663ccdc4432b38cfd476b4665fc.jpg
