Bad move, his son has a history with the Rebel Alliance (RA)
TheresAnUpvoteForThat
lol... are there actually Trumpster salty downvotes?
YourSistersBoyfriendProbably
I heard he forced him into it

If I had my way I'd chose an expert star fighter pilot too.

For real though he helped advance research

Shoulda gone with Tarkin.

Sessions needs to resign

Hey , we'll make progress this way.

Darth vader gets things done

We're gonna build the biggest space station. The democrats build space stations with awful weak points, just terrible.

We're gonna build a moon and make china pay for it.

A moon? . . . . . . or a SPACE STATION?!?!?

That's no moon..

I down for that. We need to stimulate economy by fully funding and building a Death Star!

The Empire was powerful and contrary to popular beliefs (because of the movies) the Stormtroopers were good at fighting.

Wouldn't Vader be the leader of a church? He's more into his sorcerous ways than others.
Humblecandy
It's nice to see Dick Cheney can still find work.
PietroAretino
Actually... This would be a pretty good choice compared to everyone else he's chosen thus far.
eclect0
No no, wait, I'd like to see how this plays out. Maybe he'll "bring balance" to Washington.
epsilonthemonkey
Vader would be awesome to head NASA.
HolyOldMackinaw
Honestly Darth Vader would probably get if closer to colonizing the universe so not a bad call
secretlibby
At least Vader has previous experience working in space.
shinagami091
keep in mind vader wasnt the one calling the shots. He was just the Emperors lacky
LMeire
Being a genius was integral to Anakin's character though, he built a working protocol droid out of junkyard scrap when he was 9.
Being technologically smart doesn't make one a leader.
picturefan73
Well he was a good general
malcomtheoldest
Inaccurate. Vader both believes in and has experience in space flight.
B.o.b would fantastic though. He has the best ideas about space.

Much better
Trump has picked Sarah Palin to be the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Seriously, you can't make shit like this up!

All the idiots who voted Trump because "burn it down, it can't get worse:" Oh boy oh BOY, are you in for one helluva surprise!
CigaretteMan
Doesn't appear to be anything but talk. At the moment at least
Until the Senate begins nomination hearings, ALL of his nominations are "just talk".
Not really. He hasn't said anything definitive about Palin like he has about Sessions or Mattis, for example.
WiqidBritt
NASA wouldn't be the thing. Vader would actually do good for NASA, I'm sure he knows how to build a hyperdrive...
Vader would end up as UN ambassador or something. See, the orange baboon picks the worst people and gives them the least appropriate jobs.
Former CEO of Goldman Sachs will be the new Secretary of the Treasury. For fucksake!
AHundredBillionBottles
Henry Paulson was also a former CEO of Goldman Sachs. And Larry Summers was just a monumental asshole.
MrBananaBeak
Someone tell Trump this is Washington D. C., not DC Comics! Motherfucker's building Gotham City.
He's building America's own rogue's gallery!
Where do you think ALL of the previous treasury secretaries come from. Presidents appoint bankers to head the banks
freeemail
sure.. but why THAT bank?
KangInDaNarth
Man that username brings memories
inboxmefoxes
Our current Secretary of Treasure was an attorney. The previous was president of the federal reserve, you fucking waffle iron.
captainasspirate
the federal reserve is a bank... Its actually the head bank. So if you dont like big banks, naturally you shouldnt like them
I... no. If you can't see the difference between Goldman Sachs and the federal reserve, you're beyond help.
I absolutely can see a difference, and that is that the federal reserve is much worse than any of them.
SomeFurryTrash
'Fucking waffle iron' that was good
cr4zyiv4n
Great, next lets get a barber to organize the next INDY500, or a kindergarten teacher train the next class of Marines.
Well, Trump nominated a narcoleptic neurosurgeon to be the Secretary of Housing & Urban Development. Is that close enough?
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
Can we take a moment to be entirely fearful that every single one of his nominees so far to my knowledge have been adamantly against the
as a libertarian, the idea makes me giddy with delight.
TroyKapalczynski
Delight in what? No long term future? Are you one of those people that say "I'll be dead by then"? Without gov regs corp greed is (1/4)
Rampant. History clearly shows they'll rape the near future in the name of quarterly earnings without caring 2 hoots about about a (2/4)
long term good. Maybe you're not greedy personally but many of the 1% have a clinical greed problem. And less government will only (3/4)
pave the way to let them rig business in a way to funnel money towards a single point...them, not you! (4/4)
departments that the've been tasked to head, because that's fucking terrifying. And they're all fucking billionaires who have zero gov't
NordicWillness
That's the main reason people wanting less government like it. I personally want many departments removed. Doubt that will happen but 1)
But I'm hopeful it will cause a scaling back. Its just a difference in opinion. 2)
snailphotography
That is, of course, the entire problem. I like having a functioning government. I don't want to see it cut back until it stops working.
OnyZ
Anarchist? I don't think that works very well.
So people want less government in their government? What kind of sense does that make? That's like, almost the origins of any dystopian idea
rchipp
I didagree, but I also can't follow your logic. You approve of hiring incompetents to...what?
if they don't do the job well, the job will disappear! And nothing else will happen! Surely nothing bad.
I can't explain what is wrong with your logic in 140 characters. But bad things happen if top level gov jobs are done badly, or not at all.
mksu
Mattis is fine.
MillenniumFalcon
Mattis is a-okay by me
MisterManatee
Ineligible, for starters, and some people (Obama) always thought he was too eager to pick a fight with Iran
BattloidKouji
I like mattis but I like civilian control of the military better. Pick someone else until he becomes eligible.
haven't heard that name yet. BRB.
theincredibledork
Mattis is as solid a pick as it gets. Not fond of the cult-like circlejerk the military has for him, but he's highly qualified nonetheless.
ArdentSlacker
I'm rooting for him to do the decent thing... and shoot Trump in the head.
styvan
DO YOU WANT PENCE TO RUN THE SHOW? CAUSE THATS HOW YA GET PENCE TO RUN THE SHOW.
Okay, so we have to buy him two bullets? :D But seriously, Pence is a vile fuck, but I don't know that he's a criminally dangerous vile fuck
Okay! Seems like a decent fellow from my look on the surface, though I would sincerely hope he would choose a vet for head of Defense, right
Except that he's ineligible. You have to wait 7 years after active service to serve in an executive post. (Except as President, of course).
Bend3
That can be overturned by congress, and congress loves him (rep majority).
Yes. Congress can give him a waiver. But the last time that happened was 1946.
i disagree. he was a good general at war, but secretary of defence is different animal
I don't know why we call it the Dept of Defense. We haven't really been on the defense since Pearl Harbor.
it's not to defend american soil/citizen. but american interests.
experience. Like what in the name of fuck is happening here? I want to leave with Elon Musk.
Wombatish
My comment was just showing that he's treating it flippantly even outside the crusaders. Didn't mean it as a good thing, at all.
getadogupya
Perhaps he wants the electoral colleges to vote against him?
if only that's how it worked. But it isn't and also Hillary dropped out.
Demonface54
Leave then
i don't think you understand my reference but whatever.
Wow, down voting my comment really showed me, I'll be sure to join the libtards next election and I'll watch my mouth mastah
Carson and the supposed offering of 4 different positions to Christie just shows they're token rewards.
To Trump* since apparently that wasn't clear. McMann is a donor, so is EdSec. He's treating the cabinet as a loyalty (only) test/thank you.
DrForester
He surrounding himself with yes-men, war mongers. People who will work to make him richer at the expense of everyone else.
I'm sure you'll be hard pressed to find a billionaire yes-man.

fucking terrified. I was considering going back to school, but idk if I should now, I don't know if I'll survive it.
On the bright side unless he disowns all of his businesses we can impeach him on the first day thanks to founding legilature.

And be stuck with Pence? Nah, he was smart. He chose someone as VP we would hate even more than him.
