No women, no minorities, mostly extremists
The first five Trump picks are not a good sign.
Click here for reuse options!Trump’s fervent supporters got two high-profile selections who helped guide the tone and direction of Trump’s scorched-earth campaign: former Gen. Mike Flynn, named as Trump’s national security adviser, and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, appointed to serve as attorney general.
But for Democrats looking for a conciliatory gesture, they got shafted. If, however, the determined opposition is seeking new opportunities to fight, to assert that the next administration may be just as nativist as Trump’s most divisive campaign rhetoric, the choices of Flynn and Session offered additional cannon fodder.
Of the first five people Trump has named to serve in his administration, none are women, and none are minorities. Establishment Republicans, their squeamishness about Trump largely washed away by the unexpected governing opportunity he has delivered to conservatives, largely praised the president-elect’s choices on Friday.
Many focused on Pompeo, the closest thing to a mainstream choice, despite his controversial support for the “enhanced interrogation techniques” that the Bush administration authorized against suspected terrorists that President Barack Obama ended.

Well, like the dude said, sunlight is the best disinfectant. The question that remains of course is whether the nation will survive the treatment.

Obama chose a woman for Secretary of state and she gave us war in Syria, Egypt, Lybia, Yemen and the Russians invaded Ukraine.

Yup, it was all her fault. She controls each and every one of those countries from her kitchen, over a cup of chamomile tea and ginger snap cookies. Then, before lunch, she trains false-flag actors and paid protesters. Lunch is, of course, her private insidious planning session with George Soros. Then, after lunch, she really kicks into high gear…

Yeah it was her fault George of the bungle invaded the wrong country and created ISIS.

Yeah, Bush’s fault!
” [ISIS] was, you know, pretty much decimated when US forces were there in Iraq. It had maybe 700-or-so adherents left. And then it grew quite a bit in the last several years, when it split then from al-Qaida in Syria, and set up its own organization.” CIA director, John Brennan Nov. 15, 2015
ISIS Current numbers of 31,000 represents a 4400% increase under Barack Obama
