So many terrible people.  Sessions, Price and now this clown from Oklahoma who most likely doesn't give a s*** about the environment running the Environmental Protection Agency.

I keep telling people not to normalize Pussygraber. These are all terrible picks for the nation and the world, some of them even more grossly unqualified than President-elect Pussygrabber himself.

Buckle your seatbelts, or get on a plane out, because its only going to get worse from here.

Thankfully Trump's incumbent picks are from Safe/Likely GOP areas. Won't have to worry about Jeff Sessions or Tom Price being replaced by a Democrat, for example.

This one *could* be competitive if some loon like Matt Shea replaces her, but in all likelihood David Condon gets the nod (he used to work for Cathy)

Also, Trump could do way worse than Cathy for this post. She's not bad on hydro and wind issues

Cathy McMorris-Rodgers would be a good pick and would keep Tom Price and Nikki Haley company as another respectable conservative in the administration. I'd be down for that since it, sadly, seems she won't get a chance to move up in house leadership.

I really like the Branstad pick for China Ambass.

I think Manchin would be great for SOEnergy, so hope he gets that.  Pruitt was a good pick as well.

48 hours after conceding his re-election for governor, Pat McCrory will be in New York to meet with Trump

Senate Dems urge Manchin and Heitkamp to turn down potential Trump cabinet offers:

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/05/politics/joe-manchin-heidi-heitkamp-donald-trump-senate-democrats/index.html

One can only hope!  Does anyone know what position he would be considered for?

I have to imagine that, after 28 years with Duke Energy, McCrory would take a position at Energy.

Trump's top pick for Sec. of Labor apparently is Andrew Puzder.
