The list of 41 names, obtained by BuzzFeed News, covers 13 departments, the attorney general, Office of Management and Budget, White House chief of staff, and White House counsel.

Trump should really avoid Palin like the plague. I don't think she'll get anything...at least I hope not.
 
He's burned so many bridges that he's really left with the bottom of the barrel. That administration is going to be a huge clusterfuck of complete morons, inhuman assholes and/or genuinely crazy people.

What happened to all his "best people you've never heard of"? There is a lot of career politics on there
 
Well, at least there's no Sheriff Joe on there as a consolation prize to his ousting in AZ.

But Sheriff Clarke is on the list :

Clarke is a frequent and vociferous critic of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, referring to it as "Black Lies Matter" and describing the movement as a hate group. Clarke denies that cops are more willing to shoot black suspects than white suspects, has labeled BLM activists "subhuman creeps," and has called for the eradication of the movement "from American society." Clarke has blamed "liberal policies" for rioting and other issues in American cities.

Most of those names are absolute, pure lunacy. Carson and Gingrich grabbing healthcare would be a monumental disaster, but even lesser known figures such as Harold "frack everything, frack everywhere" Hamm for Energy should give anyone pause. Top to bottom, it's a complete nightmare. There's no healing to be made here.

America is set to regress not just a decade but several ones if Trump manages to keep this gig going for an entire term, let alone two.

A creationist as secretary of health or education. Amazing. whatyearisthis.jpg

At least Robert Grady (for Secretary of Energy) seems to acknowledge climate change...?
