Episode 770: Trump Cabinet Should Have You Worried!

This week on Ring of Fire!


There are still a few House races that have yet to be called, but
Republicans have already secured enough wins to maintain a
majority of seats in the US House. With their flipping of the
Senate and the White House, along with their control over the
Supreme Court, this means that Republicans will control EVERY
single branch of the federal government for at least the next two
years.


According to Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump
may already be breaking the law by refusing to sign an ethics
pledge that was part of a legislative effort that Warren herself
got through the Senate. The pledge is required by law, and it is
intended to prevent conflicts of interest and profiteering off
the presidency, something that became a hallmark of Trump’s first
term in office.


With every pick announced for Donald Trump’s cabinet, a lot of
people are thinking “it can’t get any worse than that.” And then
the next pick comes along shattering that idea. Trump is managing
to pick worse and worse people with each passing day, from a Fox
News host that was labeled an extremist to the world’s richest
and most immature man, Trump’s picks are scraping the absolute
bottom of the barrel.


All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast.
