Discussion: Trump Chooses Gen. John F. Kelly To Lead Department Of Homeland Security

1 Like

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen John F. Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general, to lead the Department of Homeland Security, according to multiple reports.

It's said Trump intends to govern in part from NYC. Setting up shop in a VFW hall would probably be a more comfortable setting for the cabinet he's forming.

Rump is setting up a cabinet run by former military leaders and he’s too stupid to realize the danger in this not only to the country but to himself.

Dunno this guy, but I know he’s not Rudy Guiliani, or Sheriff Joe Arpao or that other nutter sheriff from Milwaukee, any of whom would have been disasters.

I’m guessing this nominee will also need a waiver from Congress too? Surely Paul Ryan and company would never rubber-stamp any decisions made by Hair Furor…lol.

So many generals bring memories of living under a military dictatorship in Latin America. Americans, be very aware of how this administration proceeds.

Send him on too.

Right now I want the debates about this. I want it either during the waiver process or when he has to face a committee and should he not have to go through the waiver process, I want it during the confirmation hearings and the floor battles.

Perhaps its just me, but the words of the day for the '18 midterms will be morality and ethics and how both are related to running a government.

Now there is more subjects that could come up before then, but the aforementioned is a start.

Crooked Donald wants to start with a military junta to avoid another one from disappearing him. All the rest of the cabinet is just useful idiots.

Trump is kissing up to the military because he figures he’s going to need them to carry out his policy. His domestic policy. Heed history, everyone, heed history.

He doesn’t care. He’s just happy to be employed again.
