46763. winstonsmith - 11/30/2016 7:40:42 PM Yeah, Jill Stein seems like a jerk.
I find myself fervently hoping Trump will pick Romney for SOS. Talk about lowered expectations.
Rudy G seems like an unhinged ass-clown. That dickhead would be a horrible SOS. 46764. judithathome - 11/30/2016 8:47:53 PM I think both Trump AND Rudy have severe cases of sundowners every evening....Rudy seems like a raving moron and Trump a raving idiot. Or both...their pontifications after the sun goes down sound insane. (Luckily, Rudy is rumored to retire by 9pm.)
I have said it before...the worst thing about Trump, for me personally, is that he makes GWB look almost sane.
Hell...he makes Ted Nugent look sane.... 46765. judithathome - 12/3/2016 6:52:33 AM My god...it just gets more and more demoralizing....day by day...I dread even turning on the news. 46766. robertjayb - 12/6/2016 5:19:59 AM Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste (The Washington Post)

...and what will the new Prez do to fix this? 46767. judithathome - 12/6/2016 11:37:32 PM This is the link to that story 46768. judithathome - 12/7/2016 1:21:39 AM President Barack Obama reaffirmed his counterterrorism strategy in his final national security speech today, issuing a tacit warning to his successor that reversing course could result in dire consequences.
Cautioning against using torture to obtain information and making another pitch for closing the naval prison at Guantanamo Bay, Obama argued against the very promises Donald Trump made during his run for president. Obama warned that returning to those practices would ultimately damage US national security.
"Adhering to the rule of law is not a weakness in the long term, it is our greatest strength," Obama said during an address at MacDill Air Force Base, the Florida headquarters of US Central Command and Special Operations Command. "The whole objective of these terrorists is to scare us into changing the nature of who we are and our democracy. And the fact is, people and nations do not make good decisions when they are driven by fear."

Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote For Trump 46770. judithathome - 12/7/2016 3:26:14 AM By the way, Kasich has asked that no votes for him be cast in the Electoral College.
He was robbed in this election and this just proves he is a much better choice than the fool we've ended up with. 46771. robertjayb - 12/7/2016 5:32:41 AM Thanks, Judith... 46772. judithathome - 12/10/2016 10:33:12 PM What do you guys think Trump is going to do when he is chained to a desk in the Oval Office every day? He is going to miss the crowds of adoring fans by day 2....in fact, an ego the size of his is going to get antsy for that mass approval and become depressed in a very short time...to say nothng of a few months down the road when NONE of his camapign promises are "realized" and all those people without jobs aren't going to GET anything he promised and, most important, all those people making minimum wage aren't going to get MORE and may, in fact, get less.
And will he still be "allowed" to tweet in the early morning hours? What happens when Kellyanne is tossed out on the heap (with Rudy G.) of chumps who gave their all for him and all they got for it was a baseball cap?
This next four years will be....interesting, to say the least.
And as the old saying goes: "Be careful what you wish for...." 46773. judithathome - 12/14/2016 8:57:05 PM I almost can't wait until Trump realizes that he NEEDS Paul Ryan more than any other person in the WORLD when he becomes President....he has yet to understand that Ryan runs the government...HE is the one who decides which things come to a vote before Congress. HE is the conduit to Congress...actually, if he doesn't want it, it doesn't even begin to happen. 46774. judithathome - 12/16/2016 10:38:02 PM Just listening to the FINAL news conference by Obama...and already mourning the fact we shall not see such adroitness of intellect and elegance of expression for at least the next four years. 46775. judithathome - 12/16/2016 11:14:19 PM Someone in the crowd at Obama's final press conference passed out and he called for the doctor...waited until he showed up and then continued on with his speech....
What do you think our NEW President Elect would have done in the same situation? Damned the press for trying to steal his thunder because they cut away to the crowd? 46776. iiibbb - 12/19/2016 11:30:45 PM He threw a mother and baby out of a rally....
.... pretty sure what he'd do. 46777. iiibbb - 12/19/2016 11:31:55 PM "Just listening to the FINAL news conference by Obama...and already mourning the fact we shall not see such adroitness of intellect and elegance of expression for at least the next four years."
If he can't work with Republicans they'll impeach him after 2018. 46778. judithathome - 12/20/2016 8:31:34 PM I predict Trump will get bored long before his term is over and he will quit.
Meanwhile, he'll "let Mikey do it" when it comes to the actual WORK and Pence's radical agenda will sail through the Republican Congress. 46779. judithathome - 12/20/2016 8:33:47 PM That's radical "right-wing" agenda...anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-anything that has been so hard won in the arena of human rights in the past 8 years. 46780. judithathome - 12/21/2016 1:13:08 AM Where the hell IS everyone??? 46781. winstonsmith - 12/21/2016 1:55:47 AM Hi Judith!
I myself am busy preparing for the holidays and recovering from election fatigue. I hope you are having a great holiday. 46782. judithathome - 12/21/2016 5:18:32 AM Well, we don't really celebrate the holidays...but we're still having a great life!
For now, anyhow. ;-)
