There have been a lot of comparisons between this guy and MacArthur. MacArthur would probably would have been a bad SecDef because he was a warrior, not an administrator.

That said, I think this is the best appointment Trump has made thus far.

He was probably a better administrator than warrior honestly. His administration during the occupation of Japan was successful. His leadership during WWII prior to the surrender is controversial at best and a decided clusterfuck during the Korean war.

I think we can just go ahead and lock this thread

This will make more sense in 6 months when Trump rips off his mask and reveals...

Claude's boner after hearing about Pujols surgery is no match for AO's right now.

Nothing like putting a climate change denier who hates the EPA... in charge of the EPA.

Honestly, this might be a good sign.  If Trump appoints the Iron Sheik as the dude who deals with Iran, we might end our quarrels with them by next summer.

Wrestlemania XXX in Tehran!

Nikolai Volkaff would like a word with you about world peace.

Our lawyer (not Phil, our other lawyer) told us 3 weeks ago that we should hope that the Carls Jr. guy gets selected. So we're pretty stoked about that.

Did the lawyer give any reason why?

[Adam]

I work in an extremely heavily regulated industry. Traditionally it had been regulated by States. Obama increased regulation at a Federal level big time. That should go away. 

 

For me, it is much easier to deal with (beat) States than the Federal Government.

interesting read, cy. 

 

so how long have you been using medicinal marijuana before you post?

Never used it but I'm for it.  It's bad enough my city just voted against a measure that would have let 3 pot selling stores here.  They have a problem with that but they're okay with two Scientology buildings.

 

Yes, two.  Snoop is more of a threat to them than couch jumping Cruise.

I have a blog entry coming out on this real soon. This dude does not like regulations. He is going to be great for business.

[Amazing Larry]

Not a fan of Cohn or Mnunchin being on the cabinet either. The GS vampire squid should be broken apart. Way too much influence on our government. 

[Jay]

I would prefer to not have so many GS faces in the cabinet but the Wall Street people understand how the global economy works. What's the alternative, some academic guys? No thanks.
