He is practicing this truth: Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.
After all the time spent talking to our Resident Novice in the White House, knowing that Barack is desperately working to save his green energy legacy, Trump appoints George Pruitt to the EPA, a clear and undeniable statement as to Trump's intentions.
It has never been more obvious: Personnel is policy. You have probably heard this axiomatic observation. Well, it is true much more often than not.
There is little doubt in my mind that Obama thought he was "playing" Trump with all that time spent in "consultation." Turns out, the man being played is Barack Obama and he is too arrogant to realize the fact. Look, Barack has bullshitted his way through life, but has met his match in Donald Trump. Cool.
I remember a time back in the early 70s where Republicans actually believed in science and protecting the environment. A distant memory.

Back in the 70's, you were around 11. 'nough said.
DeleteBesides, much of global warming fearmongering is as scientific as all those scientific survey's that made Hillary the winner instead of the weiner.
"BS'd his way through life" ?
ReplyDelete“Indeed, we find it particularly troubling that President-elect Trump has mostly declined to take the daily intelligence briefing. Presidents and presidents-elect going back decades have begun their day this way — understanding national security threats and opportunities, asking probing questions, and making tough decisions,”
In an interview on “Face the Nation” Sunday, former CIA Director Leon Panetta told host John Dickerson that “one of the concerns I have right now is that this president is not getting his intelligence briefings.”
Even during the campaign, there were reports that Trump was at odds with what intelligence officials briefed him on. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in late October that he told Mr. Trump that Russia was trying to influence the U.S. election through hacking, but he said Mr. Trump rejected that information.

You do know this guy has the time to twitter about actors that bother him and go on a 'victory tour' right? And you do know he can launch nuclear weapons without the approval of anyone, right?
If he pushes the launch button, it only means we won the war.
DeleteTo the ignorant, scientifically illiterate, and skeptical of fact based media... yes, you are in an excellent position to be manipulated by the science deniers. They have motive ($ ... energy industry) and they have the means (massive infrastructure of politically based science denier organizations: Heartland, G.C Marshall etc...).
ReplyDeleteIt was Nixon that pushed clean water and clean air acts. I saw the river I grew up on in NY transformed from a polluted sewer to a wildlife refuge. Looks like we're going backwards now. That's what regressives do. Defund the EPA, defund NASA because you don't like the scientific reality.
Words of a loser. Nobaody is against clean air and water. But, we will have another Ice Age before global warming becomes a populace opinion. Get used to it. You lost on nearly all levels. Your opening line, in the immediate above comment, is the reason why my side won the election. Keep it up, and you all won't win another election anytime soon.
ReplyDelete1) Consider the fact, we have a new President elect that is now losing the popular vote by 2,676,670 votes, who won by a mere 106,000 votes in 3 key states. The less-than-500 counties that Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64% of America's economic activity in 2015. The more-than-2,600 counties that Trump won combined to generate only 36% of the country's economic activity last year. Clinton, in other words, carried nearly two-thirds of the American economy.
ReplyDelete2) Also, consider the fact that since 1992, Democratic White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 7.1 million votes while Republican White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 84,000 votes.
3) This makes the Democratic party the winner of the popular vote for president in 6 of the last 7 elections.
Looking at the big picture... this is clearly, NOT a mandate. It is more like 'America held hostage' by an electoral system that is undemocratic and by a dangerously incompetent and regressive party whose president elect is a proven liar, a pathological narcissist, a racist, and by all accounts a non-reader and shallow thinker.
Since abnd including Nixon, the GOP has won and served the Presidency 28 years out of 48. If Trump serves 8 years, that margin will be 36 years versus 20 for the Dems.
DeleteSince 2009, the Dems have lost 13 Seanate seats and 68 House seats, In 2009, the Dems held 27 state houses of governance. Today, the GOP owns 34 gubernatorial, 68 of 100 state congressional houswes, and has flipped thousands of state,county and local positions including PTA and other local positions,
Outside of California, Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 million. So you can pretend that you have some sort of manddate, in spite of the fact that the Dems are at their weakest since Reconstruction (that's since 18 freaking 65, dude). Mandate? Hell, you folks barely have a political party. Its a joke. You win and then demand the other side accept the election. You lose, and you all cry and bitch and dream up ways of overturning the election. "Hypocrite" does not begin to describe the moral funk you people live in.
BREAKING
ReplyDelete"The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter."
Congrats... you've been duped by the communists. Too stupid to admit it, or even realize it.

Russia knows an opportunity when they see one. An easily manipulated populace and candidate. Now an Exxon CEO with ties to Russia is prime candidate for Sec of State.
Hillary wanted to reset our relationship with Russia and Obama promised Putin that he would be more flexible after the 2012 election. Take you complaint to someone who does not remember your hypocrisy on this matter.
DeleteBREAKING: Smithson says, "So what." The Russians have been hacking into our elections for 30 years. Nothing new, except for the fact that the Dems need an excuse for getting their butts kicked against the curb, again.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the Dems started the Civil War back in 1860, and today, it is becoming clear that they are willing to start a second civil war.
BTW... the internet hasn't been around worldwide for 30 yrs, and certainly hacking hasn't been either.
DeleteThe Internet was invented in 1969, the World Wide Web in 1989 and easy access to the Web came in 1991. Maybe you should stick with your "look Mom, I can run fast" efforts. You suck at political debate.
DeleteThe framers of the Constitution intended that the Electoral College guard against the possibility that a foreign power influences the outcome of a presidential election. In Federalist No. 68, Alexander Hamilton wrote that a major purpose of the Electoral College was to stop “foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.” He said that the College would “Guard against all danger of this sort … with the most provident and judicious attention from the electors.”
ReplyDeleteThis report needs to be made public immediately, along with the fact that Russia also hacked the RNC and Trump and released nothing.
We can't control what the Russians or the Chinese or some guy in his basement, release to the world. If Hillary had been an honest woman instead of the entitled, money hungry, lawless personalty she proved to be, she would have won the election . . . . . . . maybe. Let's not forget that Obama's policies played a major role as well . . . . . just as they did in 2014.
DeleteYour hypocrisy - documented:

You are from Tennessee and your name is Bill and you just quoted yourself as "documentation" for opposing my commentary !!! I am still laughing.
DeleteYou give new meaning to the term, "Tennessee hill Billy."
