monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Interesting. I've read lots of books that described that 'air' but never heard from anyone who experienced it first hand other than in those books. '1984' and An American In The Gulag come to mind.

Rush nailed it!

is he still sober?

your reqding comp skills are only surpassed by your "wit"

I gotta say, Im havin a real blast, watching this "Lonesome Roads" imitation by the Dumpster.
Five of his nominees have, in their nomination "interviews" been almost reprobative in not stating that they would "back Trumps promises" that he mqde on the campaign.

!The wall wont work (John Kelly)

2We wont use torture again and Id refuse, if asked to re-institute it(Mad Dog)

3We gave our word to our allies and we will keep it (MAd Dog AND Mike Pompeo )

4. A blanket ban on a group of people wont be supported by me ( T rex Tillerson)

5Russia embarked on an aggressive plan of interfereing with our election process. It was directed by Senior Russian leadership (Mike Pompeo)

6. We must remain a party in the PAris Accords regarding Global Warming (T-rex Tillerson)

The Dumpster is either

1going to be saying "Youre fired" a lot in the ensuing months'or

2Hes already agreed with these individuals to move off his campaign promises and thus stick it to his supporters who bought his whole line of doo doo

ll in all, his nominees (including the statements to redo our ging infrastructure) are showing that Trump will be more liberal than his supporters expect of him.

Your typing skills are only surpassed by your absolute lack of common sense.

Anybody else feel like throwing up when Obama awarded Biden the 'Medal of Freedom' yesterday?

If I recall it was said that they should have been allowed to go through bankruptcy just like any other business that was having those same type of issues. Only 2 companies took the loans and one of them was forced to merge with a foreign automaker, which also happens to be one of the same companies under fire for "fixing" their diesel emissions, which were also changed at the same time as the bailout was created, as part of the provisions for getting govt money. 1 company didn't take the bailout money and they appear to be doing just fine after going through the storm.

0bama and his liberal progressive democrats tried every trick in the book (without the support of the people) to make stagnated misery the new American norm, and the almost succeeded. With the support of the American people, POTUS Trump will work within the law to Make America Great Again, and he is already responsible for some positive changes before being sworn in...

Stagnant? We're the only developed country that has continued to grow. China's growth is bigger, but the majority of their citizens live in abject poverty. They're the largest country by population, and only a small percentage live a comfortable life. Their country is also 1/3rd polluted, and the air in Beijing is so bad, it's affecting their health.

Stagnation & misery is the 0bama norm, thank God it's all ending this month.

No.

I'm thinking it's way past a bromance...Could be buggery afoot.

On the contrary, I believe this confirms that Trump may prove to be a strong leader who tolerates, perhaps even encourages, independent thinking and expression on the part of his responsible deputies. My experience in such roles (at a far less demanding level) has constantly reminded me that nobody is right about everything all the time, and that a well-run organization, whether military, corporate or political requires a degree of what I like to call 'constructive friction' at the top, in which disagreement and even dispute is tolerated ( even encouraged) in formulating policy and strategy. There must be unity when the action begins, but prior engagement of the issues and tradeoffs is essential for any organization to stay abreast of the complexities of the real world.

In stark contrast, Obama, an insipidly weak leader, lives in a world of abstractions and often vague concepts, far removed from the real world of actions and deeds. He surrounded himself with sycophants who hewed to the party line, and cast every bad result in terms of the vague, abstract rationalizations they used to justify them. The result was a stream of well intended bad or ineffective policies and failures. Appropriately, on looking back at it all, he justifies his teerm of office on the goodness of his intentions, and not on the outcomes actuaslly achieved.

The sore loser snowflake class are making complete fools of themselves, and it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
These people need to suck it up, and get on with their lives before they are left behind.

Do what your good at, slip and slide.
