Crazy grapevine rumours that former VP Dick Cheney may be in the running for SoS all of a sudden. Mad if true

That's quite the source, too. This might really be happening. God help us all.

Well, then. Can't question a source like that. They've got the best beat on the GOP out of anyone outside of Costa.

Fortunately, I have enough faith in the President-elect to know what the link was before I clicked it. But if it were true, that'd be enough for me to publicly apologize for voting for Trump after surrendering my voter registration card to Evergreen so it can be burned in front of me.

Just out of curiosity, what would make you lose faith in Trump? You're obviously reading my timeline, so you know my opinion. But I do want to know, despite your paleoconservative views, what would make you give up faith in Trump?

Trump's FB page officially announces Mnuchin for Treasury, Ross for Commerce, and Ricketts for Commerce Deputy.

A fun tweet today showed that this couple (random) voted for Trump but lost their homes because of Mnuchin. "We're praying he doesn't get picked for Treasury Secretary," they said, after they voted for DJT.

I couldn't stop laughing.

I like Mad Dog Matthis. It seems one of the few intelligent Trump nominations that won't end up backfiring on us all.

Trump is clearly the Teddy Roosevelt of our lifetimes.

Nope. Very important reason you mention this, but no, he's not. Please look up TR's lifetime and actually understand his background and see why he was an effective president. Trump is nothing like that.

"Rudy's got it." Top Trump source tells @GersonBorrero that Giuliani has Secretary of State, already lining up staff

I want to habeeb. Romney doesn't deserve dog catcher.

Called it. Trump picks loyalty over competence. A Trump hallmark.

So do we submit Tillerson through the Duma or here? Does he attend hearings in Moscow or Washington? I hear the Duma's foreign relations committee chair loves him.

I thought Heidi Heitkamp was going to be at Agriculture for the sake of picking off a token Democrat and putting the Senate seat in GOP hands? Guess not.
