This article was basically the one talking about Mike Rogers leaving due to Christie associations.
Looks like Trump's son in law has a long memory

Good too see the vast majority of the comments calling her on her bullshit for a change rather than the fawning the media do to her.

If the establishment GOP think they are getting all "their" guys in, they can fuck right off. Trump has to pick some, but I think he will go with loyalists first. Unfortunately, at this stage this severely limits his talent pool. NY Times said Trump's transition team was"plunged into disarray" because they fired someone who was originally expected to be an important guy - retards.I hope John Bolton doesn't get anywhere near Secretary of State.
Steve Bannon (strong anti-globalist/establishment GOP) is a real interesting pick. I think, but could be wrong, heis the closest to Trump in core philosophy.
What would be hilarious is if Milo Yiannopoulos could be the press secretary!!

I think you should have learnt by now to ignore the spin and 'angle'of the media about Trump.

I found this on how Steve Bannon views the world.
Since this guy is one of Trump's closest confidants, I figured it might give interesting clues as to Trump underlying philosophy. (no opinion on it right now) -

Is he though? Because Trump's conduct in the past 18 months indicates he has no set rules, and will go with the flow - you could either consider it flexible or flip-flopping, depending on where you stand.
Bannon seems to have a fairly solid reputation in terms of his particular stream of politics, but how much of that is his personal belief, and how much of it is editorialising clickbait for gain?

I wonder what his position is on net neutrality? You'd think Google would be for it, but perhaps not.

I think you should have learned by now what a wink emoticon means.
Wouldn't want anyone throw around accusations of being a humourless, argumentative prick, after all.

@NTA That guy wasn't responsible for the cluster fuck that was Iraq.
Gingrich was a generally supportive though. He's still in - as of yesterday he was, at least. Has that changed in the last 24-48 hours?
IIRC, he isn't advocating deposing Assad and confronting Russia in Syria, nor invading Iran.
Yeah I think the US could actually do worse than getting on board with Russia and fixing Syria up - militarily at least - and while Assad isn't a fucking saint, its sad to say he looks like the least fucked option.
Assad is least worst than ISIS. I mean how much bad shit has he done outside his own borders? Saudi and Qatar have state sponsored terrorism so he doesn't appear to deserve to be public enemy

@Frank I wouldn't go that far Frank. Unlike a few posters on here I'm no ideologue. He is bound to have a few good ideas and some not so good. From what I've seen so far (during the campaign) Trump is not the kind of person I would want as president. I hope for America's sake he proves me wrong
