Stephen K. Bannon will be the White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor

Reince Priebus will serve as White House Chief of Staff.

good choices IMHO

Bannon responded to the position, saying, “I want to thank President-elect Trump for the opportunity to work with Reince in driving the agenda of the Trump Administration.”

“We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led to victory,” Bannon added. “We will have that same partnership in working to help President-elect Trump achieve his agenda.”

“It is truly an honor to join President-elect Trump in the White House as his Chief of Staff,” Priebus stated of the annoucement. “I am very grateful to the President-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism. He will be a great President for all Americans.”

Bannon is best in the background (Honey Badger don't give a shit)

Recycled but under Trump's directives! That's the key difference. Trump sets the direction and it's his VP and CoS' job to work (and arm-twist) with Congress to get things moving toward the direction and goal pf the POTUS.

I see the protestors are wearing their diaper pins.

I agree.

And man, what a great feeling it is to actually have such strong optimism for the future of our country. After the last eight years, I couldn't help but waver in that regard. It truly does feel like morning in America now.

Maybe these safety pins are useful after all. Judging from the libtard hissy fit following Trumps election they act like they belong in nappies.

Dear White People, Your Safety Pins Are Embarrassing

It wasn't long ago that Bannon and Breitbart were considered low-brow, right-wing conspiracy fringe garbage

How times have changed.

Reflecting back on this thread, I posted in August (of 2015, I think ) how I could get on board with a Trump/Cruz ticket. Hindsight being 20/10, I realze now that a Trump/Cruz ticket would have probably been a losing endeavor. I don't know who it was that recommended Mike Pence as Donald's running mate, but in a word, it was simply.....

BRILLIANT!!!!

Our President-Elect is an EXTREMELY smart man, and I'm looking forward to the next 4 years, hopefully 8. While riding the bike yesterday, I was thinking excitedly about the incredible journey upon which this country is about to embark.....I CRUSHED my ride and an hour flew by faster than I ever recall!!!

God BLESS President-Elect Trump and may God continue to BLESS The United States of America!!!

I looked at the link then inadvertently hit the back button and ended up on the Huffington Post's front page. Besides becoming 90 IQ point dumber, I noticed the unhinged headline: IT BEGINS: ROUND UP ‘MILLIONS’ OF IMMIGRANTS IMMEDIATELY. Then I was reminded that Liberalism really is a mental illness.

We've already discussed the importance of the chief of staff. It's not the job for a rookie.

This is a guy who was given 0 chance of becoming the nominee, let alone the president. There is a great compilation video on this thread of all the comedians and politicians yucking it up at Donald's expense. So-- now we are going to tell him he's making a mistake in his choice of Chief of Staff??

And that Kellyanne Conway thing, man, was that a disastrous choice....

White House press briefings could be totally bonkers under Donald Trump
By Callum Borchers The FixNovember 12 at 10:00 AM

Let's just start by saying this exercise assumes President-elect Donald Trump will actually have a White House press secretary who delivers regular briefings. As the Huffington Post's Michael Calderone pointed out earlier this week, "there's nothing stopping Trump from deciding not to hold a daily press briefing or kicking media outlets off the White House grounds."

If the incoming commander-in-chief sticks to precedent, however, he will need someone to stand at a podium and talk to reporters every day. Here is a not-so-short, not-entirely-serious list of people who could do the job with grace or make news conferences totally bananas.

Katrina Pierson

As Trump's lead spokeswoman during the campaign, Pierson is a logical fit. She often pushed back hard against journalists' questions -- and occasionally gave eyebrow-raising answers -- but seldom lost her temper. The White House press corps could be in for some exasperated head shakes, however.

Hope Hicks

The Trump campaign's main press contact stayed behind the scenes throughout the election, but Hicks is certainly accustomed to fielding reporters' inquiries. If Trump wants someone to project serenity in the briefing room, Hicks — who was photographed next to current Press Secretary Josh Earnest during Thursday's White House visit — would be a good pick.

Matt Boyle

Breitbart News's Washington editor is basically part of Trump's team already. In a January story, The Washington Post's Paul Farhi recounted how when Boyle "asked Trump about his rising poll numbers after a Republican debate last summer, Trump broke into a broad smile and high-fived the young journalist in front of startled onlookers in the post-debate spin room."

On election night, Boyle was one of two Breitbart reporters with "guest" passes, not press passes.

Milo Yiannopoulos

Guess who Trump's other Breitbart guest was? If he really wants to shake things up, Trump could install Yiannopoulos — the self-described "most fabulous supervillain on the internet" — as his press secretary. Just imagine briefings with this guy (profanity warning):

Scottie Nell Hughes

The CNN commentator endured her share of mockery during the campaign, but her status as the "world's most loyal Trump surrogate" (according to GQ) could be a big-league plus in the eyes of the next president. Trump places a premium on loyalty, and he needs a press secretary who will stand up for him, no matter what. When many surrogates hid after The Washington Post published Trump's "do anything" to women tape, Hughes defended him. She has proved that she will always go to battle for Trump.

Kayleigh McEnany

Hughes's CNN colleague also displayed a quick-thinking ability to fight back against virtually any criticism of Trump. Considering how polarizing some of Trump's policy proposals are, he could use a press secretary who is skilled at making a strong, affirmative case. He could do a lot worse than McEnany, a Harvard-educated lawyer.

Steven Cheung

The Trump campaign's rapid response director knows how to combat news stories that his boss considers unfair. Combat is kinda his thing; before joining Team Trump, Cheung was communications director of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Jason Miller

A senior communications adviser to the Trump campaign, Miller has a solid press secretary resume: He previously held the same position in Ted Cruz's presidential campaign and has advised Rudy Giuliani, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.).

Thank you Mbinky. The last verse gets me every time. I read it through tears most times.

Df, I also react emotionally to good patriotic songs--I'm glad to see I'm not alone.

I just watched much of that video. Those people are extremely elitist, they have no clue how far out they are. With thinkers like that, the Democratic party will be in the tank for a long time.
