i don't see the point in damaging romney if he is going to become trump's voice to the world.

maybe only a wink to trump's voters that defiance comes with a price?

Not big on Munchkin or whatever his name is, but has his appointment ever been in doubt? The other picks have been fantastic (well, aside from Flynn and Ross).

Why is Trump always hunched over like that? He's always leaning forward like that in just about every picture of him sitting that I've seen.

Exactly how bad is his posture?

If you haven't watched this, you should.  His posture is fine.

Nevertheless, no women will be in the key positions of the cabinet. State, Defense, Treasury, Justice and Commence. All of them will be old white men. Sad!

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

This is pretty depressing as a Cubs fan after the running gag on Twitter about Todd Ricketts being the one inside the Clark the Cub costume, not being able to read, throwing tantrums when he drops his ice cream cone, etc.

A backup in case Sessions goes down in flames?

Sean Spicer says there is a final four for the Sec of State spot, & says he does not anticipate any further cabinet appointments this week.

The WaPo says that there's a final four, and the final four consists of Romney, Giuliani, Petraeus, and Corker:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-chooses-key-economic-team-members-says-he-will-step-aside-from-his-business/2016/11/30/9e8e5c28-b5a1-11e6-a677-b608fbb3aaf6_story.html?utm_term=.b395d7b0e9c2

But then confusingly, it says maybe those aren't the only four in consideration, as it looks like John Kelly (who's also in the mix for Homeland Security) is being considered as well.

Why would Trump even consider Bharara for AG?

I have no clue, just a stab in the dark.  Maybe something will leak out.

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.

Announced on CNBC Preet is staying on as US Attorney. The politicians of New York quiver in fear.

Interesting per interview noted that Sessions asked him to stay on too
