We should start Trump Cabinet Mad Libs - Strongbad Nov 17, 08:22 2
- Robert Duvall, Department of the Interior -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:26 1
  - Cliven Bundy, Bureau of Lands Management -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:28
This seems more like a cruel joke on Perry to remind everyone of his debate brain-freeze. -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:14
It's clever since he won't know if the job is real. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:01
Well at least you know he'll neither give you up nor let you down. -- nm - Baron More Dough Nov 17, 07:56
Why not? Might as well get upset about something else that will probably be debunked tomorrow. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 07:55 1
- i like the way you think....nm - x Nov 17, 07:59
let me know when the Trump team actually publicly confirms someone, because I'm convinced a majority of these rumors are made up -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:54 14
- probably most (one Trump insider said that unless Trump says it, don't believe it) - decline Nov 17, 07:56 13
  - When looking at past administrations' transitions, this is unusual, right? All these rumors accompanied by whispers of infighting within the team? - Diva Nov 17, 08:01 10
    - False rumors feel typical to me, though in my memory Bush had his team buttoned up pretty early. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:18
    - I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. They're more discombobulated than usual, but most of the expectations are also more unrealistic than usual. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:12 5
      - meaning the 'drain the swamp' expectations in not hauling out old, crusty names? -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:15 4
        
        I mean the "why don't they have somebody named and working inside the Pentagon 4 days after the election?" expectations. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:17 3
        
        I read yesterday both candidates were told months ago to have lists developed and positions ready. The Trump campaign did none of that prep work -- nm* - decline Nov 17, 08:23 1
        
        typical. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:25
        
        Yeah, it's not like they're on a time crunch or anything. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:18
    - I suspect social media advances play a huge factor. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:02 1
      - and my guess is that the transition team takes a lead from the President Elect in regards to it's use. - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:08
    - nothing about this transition is normal -- nm - decline Nov 17, 08:01
  - but unless Trump said that, can I believe even that statement? AHHHHH! -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:58 1
    - But given Trump's history, even if he says it, he'll say something different the next day (if not the next sentence), so you can't even believe that! - pmb Nov 17, 08:02
he and Forrest Lucas (possible Sec Interior) will get along well... -- nm - decline Nov 17, 07:53
It's as if he's just looking for the most offensive person to put in every role. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 07:52 7
- Or somebody is looking for the most offensive person to create a rumor about for every role... -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 07:56 6
  - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:04
  - Or the Trump Transition Team is deliberately spreading misinformation so we won't be inclined to muster as much opposition to his actual nominees. -- nm* - znufrii Nov 17, 08:00 3
    - Which is already covered by what I said. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:09 1
      - I inferred "somebody" to mean outside the T3 pursuing their own agenda. - znufrii Nov 17, 08:15
    - (Much like they did during the campaign) -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:09
  - Fair enough. I will wait on actual confirmed info. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 07:58
