As an europoor I have limited insight into how good the announced people are, so I would appreciate some opinions. I know Gaetz, he seems like a good pick for just about anything. Tom Homan sounds based, so that also looks good. What do you guys think about the picks so far?

There are some great picks, some less so. One thing I can say is, even the ones I'm wary of, have some good aspects too.
Examples: Rick Scott was the "most MAGA" candidate, but got beat out for Senate Majority Leader by John Thune, which disappointed and outright enraged some people, due to the 'secret vote' bullshit, and that there are some potentially big problems with Thune. That said, some people were happy as well, as apparently Thune was the best on guns, while the other two did sketchy stuff like support red flag laws or the "Safer Communities" bill. So even the potentially sub par or problematic picks have upsides.
Likewise, Hegseth has some issues (*cough cough* Israel/Zionism), but is also extremely based on other issues. He seems like a likeable dude, we'll have to see how he acts in his new role.
Bottom line is, we'll have to wait and see if these people get confirmed, and wait and see how they actually perform, which is the key. We don't know how these people rate on the based/cucked scale, until we see how they're willing to play ball.
I agree with some other comments, as well. Homan and Gaetz are great, and the whole bunch is pissing off the right people so, even if I don't agree with all of them on everything, just them pissing off the establishment is a positive sign. Dems, GOPe, and the media hate and/or fear all these people. That's good.
