November 8, 20241 yr Ted Cruz as Supreme Court justice when Judge Alito or Judge Thomas decides to retire. Both of them are mid 70's. And, Sonia S. is having health issues, so he might end up making 3 more appointments this term. I know Nikki is a bit of a neocon but as ClearedHot said she's stable and level headed. I could see her doing well as Sec of State (she showed her backbone and commitment to the US while serving as UN ambassador).

I can see types like Nikki, aka, not pure Trump loyalists, passing on a job because of Trump's propensity of firing people. And we miss out on some good people for a job.

They didn't spend their whole lives rolling around in the mud to suddenly become principled now. Doesn't matter which party they're in.

Mattis resigned and chose not to continue. While it's not the same, it does show that some people won't want to work in a Trump administration under the threat of getting fired, which pretty much ends their political life.
November 8, 20241 yr If someone isn’t willing to do a job because they’re worried they could get fired then I would not want that person in said job in the first place.
November 9, 20241 yr Can’t get rid of affirmative action Loyd Austin soon enough. Both OSD and JCS could be slashed in half. Actually let CCDRs do their job.

Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has told President-elect Trump’s team he will not be accepting administration roles, despite being a top contender for positions including CIA director and Secretary of Defense, two sources familiar tell Axios."

November 9, 20241 yr I would love to see Tulsi as the head of homeland security so she can ask who put her and her husband on the terrorist watch list.

So much dead weight hanging around this place. And wasted money. I'd nominate @Biff_T for SecDef. Not some indoctrinated general who has played the game for 30 years. Someone who gives a shit about killing bad dudes efficiently and genuinely cares about the people that are tasked with that objective. And somehow I think dirndls would make it into an official uniform.

He's a senator, dude. Already has power. Big difference. Only big one I can think of that refused power repeatedly was Condoleza Rice after her time in the Bush administration.
November 10, 20241 yr Trump likes military pilots and would pay them more, Tom Cotton hates them and would pay them less.
