Funny thing. Now that the narrative is about to turn Trump is going to actually put the people in place for his cabinet that he originally wanted to in the first place.
Spicer was not his first pick as Press Secretary. Sessions wasn't his first pick as AG. Tillerson wasn't his first pick as Secretary of State.
So now I bet you will be seeing a lot of pieces being moved and replaced.

There is a greater purpose for ISRAEL then what is on the surface. Not necessarily the people of Israel/JEWS, but the state of Israel is important.

>>134821131
People have let trump down big so far, Trump is obviously looking to turn that around.

Cruz would be a big deal, he has shown his loyality in backing trump on many things. Obviously he is a bit of a neocon, but there just isn't getting around that. Trump isn't in the position to fill his cabinet with absolutely perfect picks.

Ted cruz endorsed that bill proposal that would make it ILLEGAL to boycott isreal over it's treatment of Palestinians.

Something is very clearly WRONG with cruz if he'd endorse such a proposal. I dont even have tonexplain how blatant and anti American anti Constitution sich a proposal is. Yet cruz happily endorses it.

Let me clarify.

Cruz wants to make it illegal and publishable up to 4 years in prison for protesting against isreal

A, Your source is literal fake news. B, Tillerson being replaced by Kobach would be the best thing to happen since Gorsuch.

>>134820403

I have very mixed views on this.

Sessions has been great on immigration. I have my doubts as to if Ted would be. I don't think the President could find an AG more suited for cracking down on illegals.

But he needs to get rid of the Russia shit and needs someone who will fire Comey's BFF, Mueller. Otherwise, they're going to impeach him because he didn't pay for a parking ticket in 1993.

Sessions could save himself a world of hurt if he would unrecuse himself and fire Mueller and Rosenstein. But he's a timid weakling, bound by long forgotten notions of honor and decency that the other side has nothing but contempt for. And we can't afford to have weakness against ZOG.

That being said, Ted probably knows that all Trump wants is an AG who will fire Mueller. I doubt Ted would put his reputation on the line and give up his seat to participate in the shitshow that would follow.

Besides, those two would drive each other crazy.

>>134832372
I supported Cruz before the primaries because of his position on immigration (in comparison to other politicians). Then I supported Trump over Cruz because of immigration. Now I support Cruz to get a reaction from you.

>>134833020
You're not thinking 4th dimensionally. Mueller is /trumpsguy/. He's there to find evidence of fuckery with the election, and he's putting it all together, but it's got nothing to do with Trump.

>>134820403

I don't know, "Senator Ted Cruz" seems to be cut from much the same cloth as "Attorney Jeff Sessions".

I could only get behind this if he's willing to refer to himself as 'El Rato' in public from now on. Because I can believe "AG El Rato" would love to fuck the Clinton machine, but I just can't feel the same about 'Ted Cruz'.

his dad assassinated JFK and we're just going to trust him?

The delegates Dahnald.

When info is leaked about the future they are trying to sabotage plans.
When info is leaked about the past, the leaker is found easily and killed.
If the leaker dumps a ton of info it's probably the government and nothing will come of it (at least the guilty will never be prosecuted).

>make backing a boycott of Israel a criminal offense

False.

All it does is direct the Import and Export Bank of the US oppose those boycotts rather than possibly support them under a future Dem admin.

Stop believing everything you read here.

This 100%

Fuck all of you good goy faggots for abandoning Sessions--Trump's best fucking cabinet pick you dumb assholes

Ted is the same nigger who wants a felony law banning the boycotting of israel, punishable up to 20 years, and $250,000 - $1,000,000 dollar penalty. Cruz is a Shabbos goy at best.

It wouldn't surprise me. I've thought from the beginning that Sessions was a canary in the coal mine, so that Trump could put in the guy he actually wants after. The opposition won't be able to complain as much since they'll see anyone other than Sessions as an improvement.

Would rather see Trey fucking GOWDY

this is fucking retarded. Sessions is literally our guy. His only goal in life is stop illegal immigration. Trump is a fucking idiot. I will still vote him, but hes acting fucking retarded hes ruining the agenda hes destroying the only point in voting for him

>Still a total donation puppet, but at least submissive to Trump and probably WILL prosecute Hillary

This is good, Sessions is just a massive fucking cuck. I can't stand him. Worst member of Trump's cabinet by far.
