Career of Trump's Top Ethics Lawyer Marred by Questionable Ethics
Don McGahn is a "vociferous defender" of Citizens United, among other things
The attorney named as President-elect Donald Trump's White House counsel, Donald McGahn, has been called
"kryptonite to campaign finance reform,"
"a totally partisan politico," and
"notorious for politicizing and crippling enforcement of federal campaign finance laws." (iow, a corrupt asshole, perfect for Trash)
Indeed, journalist Jon Schwarz wrote at The Intercept on Sunday that McGahn
"bears as much responsibility as any single person for turning America's campaign finance system into something akin to a gigantic, clogged septic tank."
McGahn "demonstrated a much stronger interest in expanding the money-in-politics swamp than draining it,"
McGahn was "perhaps the most consequential member of the FEC in its history," said Jan Witold Baran, a well-regarded Republican election lawyer and co-chairman of the election law and government ethics practice at law firm Wiley Rein.
Baran said McGahn checked the authority of the agency's staff and general counsel and used his experience as a lawyer representing clients to win rights for political committees under the FEC's jurisdiction, including those the commission is investigating.
FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub, a Democratic appointee, who frequently clashed with McGahn while both were on the commission, sees it differently.
"He was consequential like a sledgehammer was consequential," she said, adding, "he did his best to undermine the law."
"Now, as Trump's White House lawyer, McGahn will provide crucial advice on the nomination of judges, including to the Supreme Court," Schwarz noted.
"While Trump has criticized Citizens United, and called the Super PACs that sprang up in its wake 'horrible' and a 'total phony deal,' McGahn is a vociferous defender of the ruling."

Gen. Barry McCaffrey withdraws support of Trump national security advisor, calls for investigation
General Barry McCaffrey tells NBC News that he was initially supportive of Donald Trump’s decision to name Lt. General Michael Flynn as his national security advisor.
But, a closer look at Flynn’s social media use shows that he sent out at least 16 different fake (propaganda) news stories via social media and
General McCaffrey pulled no punches, bluntly calling the tweets and stories “demented.”

TRUMP PICKS EL CHAPO TO RUN D.E.A.
NEW YORK — Just days after picking Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo,” to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapo’s “tremendous success in the private sector” showed that he has what it takes to “shake things up” at the D.E.A.
Trump’s appointment of the former drug lord surprised many in Washington, in no small part because acrimony between the two allegedly prompted El Chapo, in 2015, to put a hundred-million-dollar bounty on Trump’s head.
But, appearing on CNN, the Trump surrogate Kellyanne Conway said that the selection of El Chapo should surprise no one.
“Mr. Trump always said that he would surround himself with the best people,” she said.
When asked why Trump had readily offered a job to El Chapo while still mulling the fate of another former adversary, Mitt Romney, Conway said, “El Chapo might not have voted for Mr. Trump, but that’s because he’s Mexican and in jail, and Mitt Romney is neither.”
The appointment of the former drug kingpin is far from a done deal, however, as associates of
El Chapo report that he is “concerned” that being a member of the Trump Administration would be bad for his brand.

Trump has chosen fossil fuel–loving Cathy McMorris Rodgers for interior secretary.
McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House Republican Conference, is a conservative rising star from eastern Washington state. She’s had a consistently anti-environment voting record during her 12 years in the House; her lifetime voting score from the League of Conservation Voters is 4 percent.
As head of the Interior Department, McMorris Rodgers will oversee the majority of the country’s federal lands, including national parks, as well as offshore areas. She favors opening up many more of those lands and areas to fossil fuel development.
Last year, McMorris Rodgers voted to remove species such as the lesser prairie chicken from the federal endangered species list because their protection stands in the way of oil and gas drilling.
She voted to allow livestock grazing on lands damaged by droughts and wildfires.
She also voted to interfere with the Bureau of Land Management, which she will now supervise, by revoking its rule protecting groundwater from contamination from fracking operations.
She is, in short, a perfect pick for Trump. Trump rolled out his energy plan —
more fossil fuel extraction,
fewer environmental protections —
in a May speech at an oil industry conference. LCV concludes, “Donald Trump just posted a massive ‘for sale’ sign on our public lands.”

America is raped and unrapeable.
"So how do you reward your crazy xenophobic base, the one that delivered a losing-yet-victorious ticket to the White House?
The same base promised a glorious wall paid for by Mexico, so bigly that it would thwart the world’s tallest ladder AND the world’s biggest shovel?
You reward them by sucker-punching them in the face.
Let’s absorb the magnitude of the [Andrew] Puzder appointment.
Trump’s signature issue was immigration restriction.
Number 1.
He slammed hard the Bush family in general and Jeb Bush in particular as weak and low energy on immigration.
The Labor Department enforces immigration law in the workplace — the key way that immigration laws are enforced.
And the person Trump names to head Labor? Perhaps the most outspoken advocate of Bush-style immigration policy in US business community!
What role do less-skilled immigrants play in the American economy, and why do we need them?
At AEI on Tuesday, experts gathered to discuss these pressing questions as the immigration debate rages on in Congress.
Andrew Puzder of CKE Restaurants emphasized the need for low-skilled workers in the high-turnover fast food industry.
He’s also an ardent foe of Trump-style walls:

OK here’s the best part:
the only thing in the 2013 bill that bothered Puzder was … more border security."

I've been telling you jokers:
Repugs campaign on xenophobia and Mexicans and rapists to con and inflame their bigoted, racist, xenophobic base (that they cultivated for decades), but they don't want the "problem" solved because cheap labor, even wage-stolen/unpaid labor, is what they really love.

The Purge of Government Employees Who Believe in Climate Change Has Begun
Donald Trump’s transition team has asked the Energy Department for a list of names of all agency employees and contractors who worked on the Obama administration’s climate change policy.
A 74-point questionnaire, first reported on by Bloomberg and obtained by Politico, is being circulated by the DOE.
The department, which has reportedly turned the questionnaire over to its lawyers, employs approximately 13,000 people directly, as well as tens of thousands of contractors. From Politico:
The questionnaire asks for a list of DOE workers who attended any United Nations climate change conferences in the last five years. It also requests the list of those who attended any of the interagency working groups that have crafted a “social cost of carbon,” which several Obama administration agencies have used to help justify some regulations.
Besides specific names, the Trump team also asked:
“Which programs within DOE are essential to meeting the goals of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan?”
It also asks for the agency to identify
which office “owns” the work on international “Clean Energy Ministerials” and
“Mission Innovation,” a multinational effort to develop clean technology.

After Savaging Goldman Sachs, Trump Stocks His Admin With Goldman Alums
Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn has been offered the directorship of the Trump White House's National Economic Council, anonymous sources told NBC News and Bloomberg Politics Friday.
In Trump’s closing advertisement before Election Day, a two-minute spectacular focused on blood-sucking elites, Cohn’s only senior at Goldman, CEO Lloyd Blankfein, flashed on screen while
Trump said:
“It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class,
stripped our country of its wealth, and
put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political en ies.”
Cohn joins several Goldman Sachs alumni already expected to be in the new administration.
Steve Mnuchin, Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary, spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs before striking out on his own. His father and brother also had high-profile careers at the investment bank.
Steve Bannon, formerly Trump’s campaign CEO and now his chief strategist, worked at Goldman Sachs in the 1980s in mergers and acquisitions.
Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump’s top transition advisers and a frequent cable news talking head, had two separate stints at Goldman Sachs, most recently as vice president in private wealth management, according to CNN Money.
Cohn became a partner at Goldman Sachs in 1994, four years into a lengthy career there.
Asked on CNN Friday about Goldman Sachs’ increasing influence in Trump’s inner circle, Scaramucci said,
“I think the cabal against the bankers is over.”

Donald Trump’s Interior Pick Thinks Climate Change Is ‘Creative Writing’
McMorris Rodgers boasts a lifetime voting score of 4 percent. She’s voted to strike down bills that would limit emissions from power plants, protect communities from toxic coal ash, ban the sale of ivory products in the US, and protect threatened species like the lesser prairie chicken.
As Secretary of the Interior, McMorris Rodgers would have tremendous jurisdiction over the fate of America’s climate future, national parks, and wildlife. The Center for Biological Diversity, an endangered species protection nonprofit, called the congresswoman a “foe” to public lands, having actively promoted “the privatization and industrialization of America’s public lands,” and cosponsored “multiple bills to weaken protections on public land.”
McMorris Rodgers also believes that man-made global warming is a hoax. In 2008, during a forum on climate change, the congresswoman said the following: “We believe Al Gore deserves an ‘F’ in science and an ‘A’ in creative writing.”
she opposed an amendment that would allow the Interior Secretary “to include climate change as a consideration in making decisions related to conservation and recreation on public lands.”

Data Do Not Support Critique of Health Act by Pick for Labor Secretary
Of all the policy positions taken by Andrew F. Puzder, the fast-food chief executive whom Donald J. Trump has chosen to be his secretary of labor, one he returns to with regularity is his passionate disdain for the Affordable Care Act and its effect on businesses and workers.
In the last few months, Mr. Puzder has spoken out multiple times — in a speech before restaurant executives, on Fox Business, on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal — about what he calls a “government-mandated restaurant recession.”
He says the law has led to rising health insurance premiums, “reducing consumer spending, resulting in a reduction in restaurant visits.”
He has also argued that the act has given businesses an incentive to cut back on full-time workers to avoid the costs of providing them with insurance, as the act frequently requires.
The problem is that the available data largely disagree.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/09/bu...er=rss&emc=rss
Pudzer also LIES that raising the minimum wage (eg, in his poverty-wage junk food shops) would cost jobs. 80 years of data say otherwise.
Pretty much despise every single Trump cabinet pick. Of course, I only asked one thing of Trump from day 1 and that was anti TPP, NAFTA, etc, so Im not really more disappointed than I thiught Id be or something.
nice link, idiotTrump’s labor pick squirms when asked if he’d fire ‘p*ssy grabber’ Donald for sexual harassment

I think you can be confident that Trump will, at the very least, be anti-TPP on Twitter.
Trump may care nothing for the 99.9999% of fleas which make up the rest of the income brackets on the planet, but there's no doubt even his paying it lip service gigantically contributed to the opposition movement.
He could have a whole Trump Tower built in China tomorrow and I'd still be thankful for how he and Bernie awkwardly teamed up against Hillary "Gold standard" Clinton, Obama and the rest of these so called champions of the working and middle class.
I trust him to take the advice of his Goldman-Sachs cabinet on anything that makes him have to think more than three minutes. But I hear you, the very slight uncertainty is still more than we would've had with Clinton.
i edited it. I wouldn't trust him if he built a trump tower in china. They'd all be even at 0.0
Are you guys pussies getting tight yet over these generals in trumps cabinet? When martial law is declared and cons ution is dissolved no one will stop us
lol all these sticks signed on to es, stir up controversies, drive up the debt some more while riding the trump train to more millions or billions of personal wealth for themselves and a small circle of others. the last thing they want is war, they want a cons utional amendment passed while the one-party state system is in operation so trump can get 4 terms and ultimate die in office of a cocaine-indused heart attack mid-Oval Office orgy.
We will get that amendment passed and no one will do all about it. Trump already has the military and millions of gun owners backing him
Soon the trump party will become the state
