For the love of God, a man over the course of his entire book of work (which might I add was spectacular) does one thing and TAR FEATHER BURN BURN BURN.

Your litmus test would eliminate 99.99 % of all for consideration of any government position which includes our candidate himself (shall I go through the exhaustive list of his “sins”?)

Sometimes I am happy as hell positions being filled and decisions made don’t sit with knee jerk reactionaries.

I see the anti-Newt drama queens are out this morning. Newt would make a find Chief of Staff.

While I think Newt needs to be involved, the guy has to stop lusting for a job. Jeez. It’s like the girl who can’t get a date throwing herself at every guy in the room.

Yup! I’m pretty sure Newt has Secretary of State in the bag if Trump is elected.

The UK retains the Falklands because the people living there do not want to be part of Argentina. Besides, Argentina's claim is less strong than Spain's claim to Gibraltar; which they lost to the UK in the War of the Spanish Succession. Additionally, Argentina, having started a war by invading the Falklands and then losing that war has, by international law, lost any claim to the Falklands.

Giving the Falklands to Argentina would be like "giving back" Texas, Calfornia and the whole southwest to Mexico. Should we do that?

What about the French colonies in the Caribbean?

Ever heard of St. Pierre et Miquelon? It’s a couple of islands a few miles off the coast of Newfoundland, that still belong to France.

Well, maybe not Texas.

We could easily give em California, Arizona, New Mexico and even throw in New York.

I see a few others had already pointed the VA function thing to you.

My reasoning was to create an optimal span of control for the POTUS.

So The Department of War would be the Undersecretaries of Army, Navy, Air Force, Intelligence, Veterans, and probably a couple more if needed.
