President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks

So...for all of you who voted for former President Trump on the issues of the economy and immigration...did you count on all of the "loyalists" to be rewarded with being nominated for cabinet posts? The only nomination I had heard of so far who is at least halfway qualified is Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth a Fox cohost? Tulsi Gabbard a former never-Trumper? Matt Gaetz??? The only hope is that there will be at least a few Republicans with balls to prevent recess appointments and even bigger balls to say no to people who are not in the least qualified.

In 2024, about 1 out of 180 American taxpayers will make $1 million or more of total income, based on a broad definition of income used by the forecasters.

Altogether, these million-dollar earners will earn about 15% of the nation’s income next year. But they will pay 39% of all federal income taxes.

@graphite 1 out of 180 American taxpayers will make $1 million or more of total income. that is a quote from you.. so that comes out to one half a percent of the population.or 0.5 percent of the population makes one million or more.. so give them the tax breaks..so one more question is one out of every 180 people are you one of those.. or in terms you might understand do you make a million a year bout 100000 a month?

@markinkansas The USA - such a hellhole for the poor that something like 10 million poor people have poured into the country illegally the past four years. Looks like they're not fooled by the Democrats' propaganda.🤣 Game. Set. Match. I win. 🤣
