Maybe an official announcement will be forthcoming.

United States Ambassador to China:

China said on Wednesday the governor of the U.S. state of Iowa, Terry Branstad, was an "old friend" after a report that he had accepted an offer from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to become the next U.S. ambassador to China.

"We welcome him to play a greater role in advancing the development of China-U.S. relations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a daily press briefing when asked about the Bloomberg report.


Lu did not confirm the story and said China would work with whoever became ambassador. Branstad's office could not be immediately reached for comment.


Trump's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In an interview with Fox News, David Bosse, deputy executive director of the Trump transition team, said: "I think there's talk of that." He said Branstad may join Trump at a planned appearance on Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa, which is part of a national victory tour to thank supporters.


If Branstad's appointment is confirmed it may help to ease trade tensions between the two countries, the world's two biggest agricultural producers, diplomats and trade experts said.
Edit: Was officially announced later in the day.

Sounds like this one is official.

Secretary of Homeland Security:

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump has settled on Gen. John F. Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general whose son was killed in combat in Afghanistan, as his choice for secretary of Homeland Security, putting a seasoned commander with personal experience of the costs of war in charge of protecting the nation’s borders.

Sounds like a great pick. ;)

Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/07/us/politics/scott-pruitt-epa-trump.html

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Scott Pruitt, the Oklahoma attorney general and a close ally of the fossil fuel industry, to run the Environmental Protection Agency, signaling Mr. Trump’s determination to dismantle President Obama’s efforts to counter climate change — and much of the E.P.A. itself.

Mr. Pruitt, a Republican, has been a key architect of the legal battle against Mr. Obama’s climate change policies, actions that fit with the president-elect’s comments during the campaign. Mr. Trump has criticized the established science of human-caused
global warming as a hoax, vowed to “cancel” the Paris accord committing nearly every nation to taking action to fight climate change, and attacked Mr. Obama’s signature global warming policy, the Clean Power Plan, as a “war on coal.”

You mean that you actually had one?

Outside of keeping Hitlery ROTTEN Clinton, out of the WH, and some decent picks, on the national security side of things, you expected greatness? This is what happens when you have demonrat vs demonrat, in the election. Just because one wore white (like in Spy vs Spy) doesn't mean they aren't both on the same side.

This whole election has been like a reality show version of studio rasslin'. So why not hire someone who actually had staged those events? It is fitting.

Those of you who supported him are going to be disappointed. Those of you who hate him will find out he isn't as bad as you thought. Especially if he listens to his daughter. IOW, Ms. Global Climate Change and Family Leave Advocate.

Demonrats being demonrats.....................right down to threatening industries and telling them what they can't do, and have to do, in return.

When someone like O'Dumbo does it, some of us near riot. Drumpf does it, and the pompom wavers jump and shout, with glee.
