WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move that surprised both Trump insiders and everyone else in the nation, the president-elect announced today his pick for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine.

Trump announced the nomination at a press conference Wednesday flanked by the heavy metal guitarist himself.

"What can I say — he rocks," shrugged Trump as he flashed the sign of the horns. "Fantastic work on the fretboard, that classic Mustaine growl. Fun lyrics, but also deep at times. We all love him. Everyone loves Dave. Much better than his old band, Metallica - they should never have let him go. Huge mistake. Very sad. James Hetfield probably voted for Kamala, let's be honest."

A nonplussed Mustaine accepted the nomination: "Uh, yeah, I guess. Whatever," he said, shrugging. "Urban development sounds dope. That actually might make a good album name. Yeah, Urban Development. Right on. It'll be about nuclear bombs or, like, how war is bad. Man, it'll be awesome." Mustaine added that while many have questioned his qualifications, he wrote the greatest heavy metal album of all time, Rust in Peace. "Look," he chuckled, "if I can shred that solo on 'Holy Wars,' I think I can handle something small like 'the housing demands of an entire nation.'"

At publishing time, Trump had asked Mustaine if he could "cut that mangy hair" and "put on something classy, like a suit or at least a collared shirt."
 
Fair enough, but it is a bad look. How many votes did it take to get Johnson? Everybody wants their own little thing, and it never ends well. Makes them look incompetent. Maybe they are.

I mean look at the stunt they are pulling in the Senate. Two guys that are going to stonewall Trump's plans at nearly every turn. Just doesn't make much sense.
Once you accept that Trump and his acolytes are not accepted as “true” Republicans, it all becomes crystal clear. The Republicans that are trying to put forth their protection leadership do not want to lose their power on their side of the aisle.

This is exactly why I was hoping that Trump would not run in this election. I was really hoping that he would have thrown his FULL SUPPORT behind someone who believed in his vision, then spent 100% of his time getting those who do not support his vision, removed from office. Since that did not happen, he needs to invite EVERY elected Republican to Mar-A-Lago and explain that “you are with us, or against us”. If they don’t toe the line, they will be exposed, marginalized, and eventually removed from their office. When the 1st Republican “leader” becomes a PUBLIC target of a DOJ investigation, the rest will start to fall in line. They all know they are guilty of misdeeds, but so far no one has had power to make them pay. Trump now has that power, I for one hope he uses it.
 
While I'm not convinced that Hegseth is qualified to lead the department of defense, I believe he is the perfect candidate for the position. He is not one of these Generals or former Generals that has been corrupted by DC politics. He is very well educated and has served in leadership positions outside of government. I also like that he is young.

One of the biggest challenges he is going to have is that his service ended over 10 years ago. I cannot describe for you how much the military has changed in that time period. Soldiers are different, leaders are different, and the climate in the military has definitely changed. A lot. Hope he works out. I'll be pulling for him, as he will be in my chain of command.

Very solid overview. I think his education, military/combat experience, work in private industry, and work on behalf of veterans means he has the right temperament and world view to be a good leader of the Dept. of Defense.

My view is this: I prefer a good human being over any other qualifying characteristic because a good person can learn the numerous changes in how the military is organized, trained and run over the past 10 years, while a bad person who already knows those details will simply **** things up.
 
I think Gaetz as an AG is a bad pick.... He seems a little extreme among other things
Gaetz is an excellent pick. His problem is that he is under an ethics investigation. Might make it difficult to confirm him. The other problem is that it makes an already thin house majority even thinner. While they are solid picks, I think Gaetz and Stefanik would be better left in the house. We need them there too.
 
Border Czar Tom Homan compared to some lady who apparently has something to do with the government, I think. Don't recognize her to be honest:

 
I’m not really onboard with Gaetz, as he has too much baggage himself. Would prefer he brought in someone from outside of DC. Trump needs to quit picking Swamp Creatures to clean up the Swamp. Their loyalties are to prolonged employment NOT what is best for the Country.

Maybe he should choose someone that he would pick as a Supreme Court Justice. This would make for a good trial run.

Playing Devil's advocate here. It will be interesting to see how much tax $ was given to Tesla and SpaceX. He makes definite progress with that funding as opposed to other CEOs so he better be prepared to show the rewards.

I'd much rather see private enterprises not govt funded but if they are, they better be prepared to pay us back.
 
He’s a great pick. If he gets confirmed he’ll blow **** up. Geez, you act like he owes you $50.

Damn it, Indy, don't go low on the guy. I mean, who the hell would fail to pay a $50 debt? Nobody would be so cheap and narcissistic and unaware as to welch on a $50 obligation.*

*P.S. Some may recall that a certain wager back in August or September of 2020 was offered and accepted by another, and when asked how much the wager should be, the person accepting said, "I am so confident I say $500." The person offering the bet then said, "That's too much" and agreed to $50. Repeat, the person who raised the offer SET THE $50 PRICE HE NOW AVOIDS PAYING.
 
I remember when Nancy wanted Bidens face on Mount Rushmore. Loonies want Kamala on the supreme court. Romondo and Granholm were Biden picks. Trump will never pick these types.
