Some excerpts:

Defense Secretary
The incoming secretary will shape the fight against the Islamic State while overseeing a military that is struggling to put in place two Obama-era initiatives: integrating women into combat roles and allowing transgender people to serve openly. Both could be rolled back.

Kelly Ayotte - Departing senator from New Hampshire and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee

Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn - Former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (he would need a waiver from Congress because of a seven-year rule for retired officers)

Stephen J. Hadley - National security adviser under George W. Bush

Jon Kyl - Former senator from Arizona

Jeff Sessions - Senator from Alabama who is a prominent immigration opponent

Attorney General
The nation's top law enforcement official will have the authority for carrying out Mr. Trump's “law and order” platform, including his threat to “jail” Hillary Clinton. The nominee can change how civil rights laws are enforced.

Chris Christie - New Jersey governor

Rudolph W. Giuliani - Former New York mayor

Jeff Sessions - Senator from Alabama

Homeland Security Secretary
The hodgepodge agency, formed after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has one key role in the Trump administration: guarding the United States’ borders. If Mr. Trump makes good on his promises of widespread deportations and building walls, this secretary will have to carry them out.

Joe Arpaio - Departing sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz.

David A. Clarke Jr. - Milwaukee County sheriff

Michael McCaul - Representative from Texas and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee

Jeff Sessions - Senator from Alabama

E.P.A. Administrator
The Environmental Protection Agency, which issues and oversees environmental regulations, is under threat from the president-elect, who has vowed to dismantle the agency “in almost every form.”

Myron Ebell - A director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and a prominent climate change skeptic

Robert E. Grady - Gryphon Investors partner who was involved in drafting the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990

Jeffrey R. Holmstead - Lawyer with Bracewell L.L.P. and former deputy E.P.A. administrator in the George W. Bush administration

Education Secretary

Dr. Ben Carson - Former neurosurgeon and 2016 presidential candidate

Williamson M. Evers - Education expert at the Hoover Institution, a think tank

White House Chief of Staff
The chief of staff manages the work and personnel of the West Wing, steering the president's agenda and tending to important relationships. The role will take on outsize importance in a White House run by Mr. Trump, who has no experience in policy making and little in the way of connections to key players in Washington.

Stephen K. Bannon - Editor of Breitbart News and chairman of Mr. Trump’s campaign

Reince Priebus - Chairman of the Republican National Committee

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Treasury Secretary
The secretary will be responsible for government borrowing in financial markets, assisting in any rewrite of the tax code and overseeing the Internal Revenue Service. The Treasury Department also carries out or lifts financial sanctions against foreign enemies — which are key to President Obama’s Iran deal and rapprochement with Cuba.

Thomas Barrack Jr. - Founder, chairman and executive chairman of Colony Capital; private equity and real estate investor

Jeb Hensarling - Representative from Texas and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee

Steven Mnuchin - Former Goldman Sachs executive and Mr. Trump’s campaign finance chairman

Tim Pawlenty - Former Minnesota governor

Rudy "Stop and Frisk" Giuliani as AG and David "BLM is terrorism" Clarke as Homeland Security Secretary just makes you wanna cry.

 

[Your Entertainer]

Outstandingly horrible.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

fuck

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

THE LEGION OF DOOM.

It's all going according to Putin's plan

How the fuck are Arpaio and Clarke even remotely qualified for Homeland Security Secretary?

 

[RPGCrazied]

So much hate on one team. Jesus, how did this fucker win.

 

[Deku Tree]

Drain the swap ... or not

 

[Escape Goat]

I need a bath after reading that list.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Yep nothing is going to comfort me with the dystopia that we're about to enter.

 

[DragonSworne]

He is literally placing the most evil people in the positions.

 

[Maledict]

Democrats need to learn a lesson from this. You get *nothing* by appointing republicans to posts. Nothing. Hell, it probably just cost them the election.

Stop reading Team of fucking Rivals and watching the West Wing, and kick these bastards to the curb when in power.

 

[Azuran]

God help America.

 

[CountAntonius]

Unreal how bad these people are.

 

[guek]

I said goddamn.

 

[Zackat]

Some of the only people I dislike more than Donald himself are on that list.

 

[ponpo]

Are number 2 for EPA and Education that bad? Don't recognize them, but they seem better than the alternatives.

Unless the EPA amendment mentioned is shit.

 

[Raven117]

So much hate on one team. Jesus, how did this fucker win.

Because good people did nothing

 

[tirminyl]

Hahahahahahaha

 

[benicillin]

No surprise that his cabinet choices are fucking awful, considering the fact that he was only ever going to pick "Trump loyalists" instead of someone actually qualified for something (the definition of cronyism) and the only prominent Trump loyalists are barely human garbage people.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Because good people did nothing

Well, Bernie or busters didn't help. But that 47% that stayed home and voted for no one. Yeah, this is on you all.

 

[Madness]

Christie who is embroiled in a corrutpion bridge scandal for Attorney General, damn. The only one that makes some sense could be Lt. General Flynn for SecDef.

Ben Carson as Education Secretary, Sheriff Joe Arpaio as Homeland Security Secretary. You dun goofed America. Ridiculous.

 

[GitarooMan]

That Joe Arpaio mention is a joke, right guys?

 

[ponpo]

Alex Jones for head of the CIA.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Because good people did nothing

That Joe Arpaio mention is a joke, right guys?

Afraid not. Probably gets worse. Rumor is Bannon is going to be chief of staff. lol

 

[chaosblade]

On the less dim side, with these people running the country things will probably be so incredibly shitty in 4 years that dems will probably be more inclined to vote. Assuming they are able to work around the inevitable nationwide voter suppression laws.

 

[acheron_xl]

This is all bad lefty fanfic of an evil Republican administration.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I can't believe thay crooked racist fucker Arpaio could have a prominent position he in know way can perform or deserves. Fuck 2017.

 

[Dishwalla]

And some can't figure out why people are protesting throughout the major cities.

 

[Keasar]

Meanwhile, at the Legio~

THE LEGION OF DOOM.

Damnit!

 

[Chariot]

So much hate on one team. Jesus, how did this fucker win.

Hubris by the Clinton campaign.

 

[Eidan]

This is all bad lefty fanfic of an evil Republican administration.

Haha it really does read like it. God help us.

 

[darkside31337]

LMAO at Rick Scott. The guy who oversaw the largest case of medicare fraud in the history of our country is going to be running medicare. I thought it couldn't get worse than him being governor of my state but I guess it can.

 

[Strimei]

Jesus Christ, Arpaio?

 

[Will the Thrill]

On the less dim side, with these people running the country things will probably be so incredibly shitty in 4 years that dems will probably be more inclined to vote. Assuming they are able to work around the inevitable nationwide voter suppression laws.

If the democrats can actually fix themselves that is. They need major shake ups in leaders as well if they want to retake stuff. What they are doing right now hasn't been working. Trump himself, as well as his picks and the republican party fucking shit up isn't the complete solution. (Though it will help). The base of Trump that is energized right now will probably be just as energized in 2-4 years, hell they could be even more energized since they won this time around. 47% of registered people didn't vote and Clinton was down compared to Obama overall, this could of been avoided.

Democrats need to learn a lesson from this. You get *nothing* by appointing republicans to posts. Nothing. Hell, it probably just cost them the election.

It never ceases to amaze me how many democrats care more about being liked by Republicans than actually advancing their parties success and cause.

Just look at Joe fucking Biden, guy lives off of pleasing Republicans.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

If someone had posted this cabinet a year ago they'd be laughed at for being a lunatic.

 

[LifEndz]

Guess we have to change that sign to "The White House."

 

[Username1198]

WHat position did emperor palpatine land?

 

[acheron_xl]

WHat position did emperor palpatine land?

Someone with UNLIMITED POWER would do well at the department of energy.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Hubris by the Clinton campaign.

No, everyone on the left fucked up and should take responsibility. The infighting is getting down right depressing. The DNC, Clinton campaign, Bernie and his supporters, and bullshit third party candidates like Stein fucked this up.

Some may deserve more blame than others, but no one bothered to take responsibility, find common ground, and work together. That coupled with ignoring a large group of America, the left deserved to lose.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

wow we are literally going to die

 

[Dalek]

More like the Shit List, amirite?

 

[hunchback]

That Joe Arpaio mention is a joke, right guys?

That better be a joke. I can't imagine that man with that kind of power.

Fuck me, this is getting really bad.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Someone please explain the system of checks and balances that will help stop them from doing whatever the fuck they want to me please?

please

 

[Strimei]

The only hope I really have with all these horrible people involved is that the whole infighting thing is true, continues (even though it puts the whole damn country in danger), and they all go down with the ship.

...just hopefully without the rest of us going with them.

 

[Goro Majima]

No surprise that his cabinet choices are fucking awful, considering the fact that he was only ever going to pick "Trump loyalists" instead of someone actually qualified for something (the definition of cronyism) and the only prominent Trump loyalists are barely human garbage people.

Yeah it's the unfortunate side effect of the whole party abandoning him especially when he was down 10 points nationally. Only the crazies were left so he's going to reward them instead of putting in more sane Republicans.

 

[obijkenobi]

Joe Arapio as the head of homeland security is a fucking disaster in the making. Like, setting back race relations 30 years in the making.

 

[rekameohs]

Fucking Joe Arpaio

 

[gutter_trash]

I hope the Senate blocks all the Putinites

 

[Sadsic]

Are number 2 for EPA and Education that bad? Don't recognize them, but they seem better than the alternatives.

Unless the EPA amendment mentioned is shit.

The Hoover Institution is one of the backbones of the Koch-influenced Dark Money machine.

 

[Kayhan]

THE LEGION OF DOOM.

That is what they will call them.

And by 'they' I mean everyone.
