Steve Bannon, the far-right powerbroker who served as a key Donald Trump advisor from 2015 to 2017, has an idea: let Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., take the reins at the Department of Homeland Security.
"You're such a fighter," Bannon gushed on his "War Room" podcast early Wednesday. "Now, is there truth to the rumor that you're going to take over at DHS?"
@#2 ... Oh lovely. The idiots running the asylum. What could go wrong?? ...
Fun Boy Three - The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum (1981)

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
"Go nuclear" the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
'Cos when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I've seen the faces of starvation
But i just cannot see the point
'Cos there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose

Who might make up Trump's Cabinet
www.politico.com
... Donald Trump didn't engage in formal conversations about a potential Cabinet in the run-up to his election. But that didn't stop him from spitballing potential contenders during his frequent plane rides to campaign events, or when he is impressed by one of his allies on television.
"He would be great at this," or "She would be great at that," Trump has said on recent occasions while watching surrogates on television, according to a person with knowledge of his comments who was granted anonymity to speak freely. And like with his monthslong search for a running mate, the TV circuit became an important venue for the aggressive jockeying underway by allies eager to secure a Cabinet job. Some candidates for the Cabinet have even hired their own public relations teams.
Trump's first Cabinet was confirmed at a slow pace, due to Democrats slow-walking the process, only to see high turnover in those top jobs during his four years in office.
This is POLITICO's latest snapshot of the leading contenders for Trump's top jobs. ...
