StarLink is a client of Shift4

There is no way Trump wrote that himself. It is too coherent.

I've never heard of Shift4, but Google tells me it is some kind of payment processor.
After a brief look online, Issacman appears to have some space and aeronautics interest and experience.
He's done something with SpaceX and Musk but don't know how that plays in.
Probably another billionaire tie in with the merger of corporate and government.
Hard to tell from just a few minutes on Google, but he might do OK, not sure.

He's even kind of cute.

Oh Pete....it just never ends does it?

BOOM! Pete Hegseth Completely Trashing Trump

A clip of the embattled defense secretary nominee may further sink his chances of assuming the post. Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, called Donald Trump “an armchair tough guy” who’s “all bluster, very little substance” in a 2016 clip shared by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski on Tuesday...

Trump has just nominated Peter Navarro as his Senior Trade Advisor again. From Prison to the White House. Usually that process happens in reverse for Trump appointees.

Gee. Another ex-con back in the government.

And where's the surprise that he also belongs to a fringe far right wing 'church' run by a self-ordained preacher.

Many of these messages (especially those without spelling errors) are written for Trump by future White House Comms Director and human Shar Pei, Steven Cheung.

Call it the "Year of the Blonde Nepo-wives".

Kelly Loffler, the appointed-and-then-defeated former Republican US Senator from Georgia, is back. She's been nominated to head the Small Business Administration. She and her billionaire husband donated over $3.2 million to the Republican Party. Anything to keep those tax cuts...

Loeffler, 53, is the current co-chair of Trump’s second inaugural committee. She is also the former CEO of Bakkt, a commodity and cryptocurrency trading platform that Trump’s Truth Social media company has been in talks to purchase. And she is married to billionaire Jeffrey Sprecher, a Trump donor and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange.

Senator "accountability and consequences" says he's confident that Kash Patel will be the next FBI Director.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/05/congress/kash-patel-fbi-cornyn-00192805

Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday he is confident that Kash Patel “will be” confirmed to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“People I know and who I trust speak well of him and I’m looking forward to meeting with him,” Cornyn (R-Texas) told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

Cornyn, who previously served as the chamber’s Republican whip and last month lost a bid to become majority leader, said Patel had “vast experience” and had been highly recommended by “people I have great respect for.”

Next nominee: Frank Bisignano, age, 65, another billionaire donor who is the CEO of company that runs ATMs to head the Social Security Administration. Because, you know, generating Social Security checks on time is like what an ATM does.

Bisignano's salary at Fiserv, the financial services company was over $100 million, making him one of the highest paid CEOs in the industry. So, of course, he wants the $55,913/annual job running the agency that pays 68 million Americans.

The hits just keep on coming.

Cornyn is giving away the game though...despite any 'concerns' that GQP Senators have over these appointments, they will speak well of the candidates and confirm without question as they close ranks like they always do.

How many people have to have their lives ruined before they learn that everything that Trump touches dies?

Remember this guy?

Or this guy?

Or this guy (may he rest in peace)?

And stories about the cross-eyed swamp monster's incompetency are leaking. Note that these stories are coming from conservative media.

More fun stories about the cross-eyed swamp monster.

After Kash Patel's storied career with the first Trump Administration, he developed a line of Trump-oriented clothing that he marketed under the name "K$H'... kind of like "Ke$ha", but not really.

Patel's products were made in sweatshops in Central America, which makes him infinitely qualified to manage the FBI.





Speaking of unqualified grifters hawking things, remember the "toilet for hung men" guy from the first Trump Administration? Matt Whitaker is Trump's nominee for Ambassador to NATO. No word on whether he will offer his "masculine toilets" as ambassadorial gifts.

Corporations and billionaires will rule our country.
Is there any way to stop it now?

rrrZZzian state television is delighted with Trump's cabinet picks, and of the United States being dismantled.

“What an excellent team is coming along with Trump!" Solovyov said on his show Sunday, according to Davis' report. "Not with respect to Ukraine, but as far as everything else goes. If they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!”

Russian TV host gleefully claims Trump's Cabinet will 'dismantle' America, report says
