Trump's cabinet

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is President-elect Donald Trump's revised pick to lead the U.S. Department of Justice. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Bondi will play an instrumental role in reshaping the business of sports-especially in how antitrust law governs the industry.

Bondi, who served as Florida's AG from 2011 to 2019, is no stranger to antitrust issues in sports.  In 2016, she led a group of states' attorneys general in negotiating a settlement with the NFL regarding a league-wide mandatory price floor policy. The league previously required each team to impose a price floor on secondary market ticket sales. This policy, Bondi and other AGs alleged, was problematic under antitrust law and generated artificially high ticket prices. The settlement required the NFL to refrain from directing teams to use ticketing practices that made it more difficult to buy tickets on competing exchanges.

After completing her term as attorney general, Bondi joined the lobbying firm Ballard Partners to direct the firm's corporate regulatory compliance practice. Major League Baseball retained Ballard Partners, including Bondi, to lobby on unspecified issues "related to combating human trafficking," which was a league focus in conjunction with its players' union at the time.

Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director. It's the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment. He has the mandate, go for it.

Patel will make J. Edgar Hoover look like a boy scout.

Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America's premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived "conspirators." It's the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment.

Trump's pick for Labor secretary has organized labor cheering and business groups sounding worried as the atypically labor-friendly choice could signal a new and more receptive stance toward unions from Republicans, who have long resisted labor's agenda.

Following a recent increase in popularity among unions and the precedent-breaking appearance of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien at the Republican National Convention in July, the choice of Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) reflects the growing political importance of labor after an election in which working-class voters delivered a strong turnout for Trump and the GOP.

I think Trump tends to agree with unions in some aspects.  I'm sure he had to deal with plenty of them when he was developing properties.  He's not the typical anti-union Republican.

He's not the typical anti-union Republican.

That is why I like his type of Republican.

Establishmentarians struggling with the likelihood of having little to no representation in the incoming administration have spent weeks attacking several of President-elect Donald Trump's picks to helm federal agencies of consequence.

Although Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick to run the Pentagon, has taken an inordinate amount of abuse, former National Security Council official Kash Patel has similarly become a top target for champions of the status quo.

Fuck the establishment.

And it is exactly this type of reaction which tells any sane person looking to change a dreadfully corrupt system that these are the right guys for the job.

I don't give the slightest fuck how many drunk sluts Hegseth cheated on his wife with. I am not hiring him to be the sunday school morality deacon. I am hiring him to run the armed forces.

I don't care how many cheap sluts they pull out of the woodwork to say he's a rapist.
