monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Why not both?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
12:30 PM - 27 Nov 2016

It would be entirely normal for someone like Mitt Romney, who had excoriated the incoming president in such blistering and personal terms, to be passed over when it came to putting together a new administration. Some criticisms and breaches are just too hard to get past. But the current drama over Mitt Romney's possible nomination to be Secretary of State points to something quite different: the ritual humiliation of opponents, critics and all who have resisted that Trump yoke that is central to the Trump world. We saw it repeatedly during the campaign and it continues into the transition.

WIKILEAKS: Podesta Says It’s OK for Illegals to Vote With Driver’s License.

John Podesta: "On the picture ID, the one thing I have thought of in that space is that if you show up on Election Day with a drivers license with a picture, attest that you are a citizen, you have a right to vote in Federal elections."

12 states and the District of Columbia allow driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. Almost half of California’s driver’s licenses went to illegal aliens last year.

Stories about 3 million illegal votes in the 2016 general election have been popular in some right-wing circles, popularized by Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos and others.

The stories seem to have originated Nov. 13 with someone named Gregg Phillips, who claims to be the founder of a voting app named VoteStand and who was previously associated with Newt Gingrich's Winning Our Future super PAC. No evidence exists that those stories are correct, and Phillips has declined to provide any evidence to reporters or PolitiFact (which ruled the theory false) to support his claims.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as president because this country respects the law. But never forget: he doesn’t. Be prepared for the worst.

But as Trump is not and never has been much interested in policy, there might be room for education on, for example, the real consequences to millions of Americans if the ACA is dismantled. But I'd imagine the time likely wasted as Trump will be pushed in other directions.

But that's not what I was referring to. Rather, to the fullest possible briefings on the range of duties/responsibilities Trump will face in the WH, protocols for intel, on-going matters around the world that the US is engaged in, etc. Trump expressed surprise at the magnitude of this after the first such meeting. The sort of hand-over briefs that are necessary for a smooth transition.

For example, if you turned over command of your carrier (let's imagine it had nukes on board) to someone who has previously only sailed as a passenger in his private yacht.

You appear to be adopting the point of view of a liberal diety passing benign judgment on the unfolding scene below you.

Goodness. I do hope you are not offended. I have striven all my life to be politically correct and I'd hate to think I was failing in this most sincere of goals.

No reason to think so. Trump's two choices (that we know of) are both key figures in the christian right movement. Neither have degrees in education. Both are deeply invested in christian educational goals. Both are influential political activists in the GOP.

A new report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) and Virginia Voters Alliance (VVA) has discovered an “alien invasion in Virginia” and the subsequent coverup by the state in allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote.

In the investigation, both PILF and VVA “found 1,046 aliens who registered to vote illegally.” And that was only a small sample, only across eight counties in the state who responded to the requests. “The problem is most certainly exponentially worse because we have no data regarding aliens on the registration rolls for the other 125 Virginia localities,” the report states.

These two organizations ran into several roadblocks in trying to obtain the information for the report. One of those is the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) invoked by Virginia’s election commissioner Edgardo Cortes who prevented the watchdog groups from the access to the public records. Because the illegal aliens were prompted to register to vote when they applied for driver’s licenses at the DMV, the DPPA protects them.

States that have tried to remedy this problem by asking registrants to prove their citizenship with documentary proof have uniformly been stonewalled by litigation brought by our own Department of Justice and legions of attorneys working with left-leaning voter groups committed to keeping ineligible voters on the rolls.

"I won the election but it was still rigged" is the ultimate in trying to stay victor and victim at the same time

How do you know Trump "is not and never has been interested in policy"? You appear to earnestly believe that your onfounded prejudices are reality. You have no factual basis for this assertion at all.

Trump's policy propsals were judged to be better and more likely to produce needed results than those of the progrerssive establishment he defeated in the recent election.

I've spent a lot of tiome in schools and enjoyed the exposure to some wonferful teachers (a few awful ones too). None of them had degrees in Education. Knowledge of the subject matter, the ability to see the process through the perceptions of those being taught and talents in communication were the important traits.

Not really. I suspect Trump was referring to some voter fraud such as was outlined in the post above yours.
