This is a great point. I haven't thought of that angle.

Well, I'll be. That crystal ball NAILED IT!

I was hoping for Ric Grenell in that position. I've never been a big fan of Rubio. I just don't think he has the presence or the confidence for the job. Not only that, but SoS seems to be a stepping stone for the big job (that he wants) and I'd rather he not go against JD in a few years.

Desantis should name Gaetz as FL senator to replace Rubio. Send liberals into more meltdown.

I like where you're going with that one. I'm on board. Utah libtard heads would explode!

I like Marco Rubio, but I don't think he is strong enough to be Sec of State.

That was my first thought too, but I'm sure there's a lot behind the scenes we don't know and I'm trusting Trump (and Don Jr) to get the right names where it counts. Sec State will have a real challenge on his hands dealing with the employees not to mention the job itself; it'll take alot of judgement to play that department.

Cleaning house at State will be second only to DOJ. I hope Rubio comes in there with a flamethrower and a big stack of pink slips. He is an articulate guy and Trump would do well to let him explain what he's doing and why.

Has Trump announced anything about his appointment for Secretary of Transportation?

That will an easy one as Buttigieg will have had his shit packed the night before he has leave.

ha ha. You win the Internet today.

You got that right.

REPORT: State Department Holds “Cry Session” Following Trump’s Dominant Election Victory

By Cullen Linebarger | Nov. 11, 2024 7:00 pm

The Swamp at Foggy Bottom is not taking the news over President Trump’s reelection well at all.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that the Biden State Department organized what is being described as a “cry session” on Friday. This sad meeting was put together by the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

The outlet notes officials at the bureau have been working for months to sanction Israel for supposedly not doing enough to provide humanitarian aid in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip. The staffers at the meeting were actually urged to share their feelings rather than discuss how to serve the incoming Trump Administration.

One official told the Free Beacon that putting feelings over national security is a consistent pattern under the ‘leadership’ of Secretary of State Tony Blinken.

“For four years, within the rank and file, there has been an over emphasis on people’s feelings, often with a college campus-like fervor, rather than the work of advancing America’s interests,” one U.S. official said. “This meeting was hopefully the last gasp of that.”

The official added that there was a lot to unf**k at the State Department.

The outlet also obtained a State Department email revealing that another meeting was held on Friday to describe how employees could handle stress and discuss their feelings following the election results.

“Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty,” the email said. “Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well-being.”

The Free Beacon reported that a second struggle session is scheduled for Wednesday.

Surprising exactly no one, another source told the Free Beacon that the State Department is filled with partisan Democrat hacks who will look to sabotage Trump when he tries to implement his America-First foreign policy agenda.

Recall that during his first term, Trump was burdened by leaks from career Deep State employees, especially when he attempted to withdraw America from overseas conflicts.

Whoever Trump selects as his Secretary of State will need a stiff spine and be willing to completely clean house. This includes firing globalist officials who have infiltrated the agency for decades.

I used to aspire to become a Foreign Service Officer, passed the written test twice, but never got to the interview stage (because the essay questions were so dumbed down, I couldn't figure out how to reply). I'd never ever make it past that, if I got to the interview stage. Just could not say what it would take to get the offer.

Apparently nothing has really been confirmed about Trump's pick for Secretary of State. It may not be Rubio after all.

I like this graphic from the Daily Mail that illustrates what a rout it was. Trump gained ground in every single state but one (WA). Total annihilation.

My wife and I watched Hannity interview Tom Homan tonight and I'll bet money that besides Trump, he'll be the most hated man in leftist America. This dude is serious as a heart attack in regards to the border and the deportations.

Yeah, watching him school AOC during the congressional dog-and-pony shows, you know this guy will be a terror to the illegals.

Incredible.
