BREAKING NEWS: Predictions For Trump Cabinet

A slightly sarcastic take on Trump's administration

BREAKING NEWS: Predictions For Trump Cabinet
Dallas Morning News

Whether you voted for Mr. Trump or not, you can’t deny that he’s got “the best people.”

Think about it – surely liberals and conservatives alike can agree that most of the Cabinet picks we’ve all been hearing about for the past month literally could not be better suited for the job! Rex Tillerson’s blatant ties to Russia, along with his history of orchestrating joint ventures in Russia-controlled oil-drilling locations, certainly provide all the experience and trustworthiness that you’d expect from a Secretary of State. (Public-sector experience is overrated anyway – am I right?)

And who better than Stephen Bannon, co-founder of Breitbart News (“a website that has pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic material into the vein of the alt-right”) to serve as Mr. Trump’s chief strategist? After all, it was Trump himself who pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic material into the vein of mainstream American politics. It works out pretty darn well.

But enough about these respectable staffing decisions: here are just a couple of our predictions and suggestions regarding the lucky guys and gals – but mostly guys – that will serve on the Cabinet.

Position: U.S. Trade Representative

Our Pick: Jabba The Hutt

Jabba is an accomplished trader, negotiator, and crime boss – and his penchant for holding girls against their will means he’ll have plenty to relate to with Mr. Trump… right?

Position: Environmental Protection Agency Head

Our Pick: The Once-Ler (before he got smart)

All Americans, regardless of political ideology, can get behind the Once-Ler protecting our environment. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would exploit beautiful forests for his own financial gains, right? It’d work out, we’re pretty sure.

Position: Attorney General

Trump’s Pick: Jeff Sessions (described in the New York Times as one of the “most strident anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-L.G.B.T. voices in the Senate”)

Our Better Pick: Kimmy Schmidt’s Attorneys


This efficient and professional dynamic duo’s knowledge of courtroom procedure and the case they’re prosecuting would come in handy if Marcia and Chris become Attorney General.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
