The (Semi) Official Trump Election/Inauguration thread...

Conway says Trump will executive produce Celebrity Apprentice in his "spare time

So... not a ceremonial title. He actually plans to continue working on the TV show? What spare time?

This line cracked me up:
'Conway said Trump is still consulting with ethics experts'

 

[Jludo]

Time that he would otherwise be golfing?

I think the upsetting part is that he's still producing 'the Apprentice' he's president now, he should be producing something good like 'westworld'. Reality TV is embarrassing.

But lucrative.

Part of his appeal is that he's made a shton of money.

Watch for "The Real West Wing" show.

I'd say that I dropped my expectations for the incoming administration, but I'm not sure they could go lower.

This will show the world what executive producers really do....which is often nothing.

I'm sure they can't go lower. The golf comment was better.

Like reality TV, it is all about knowing the audience.

Yeah, but its tough when people get us confused for each other...

How could they ??? It's very easy to tell you two apart. Only takes a glance...

You are shorter and thinner.

I'm with you & Jamil on this, I don't like it. I see it as better than the last as there will be actual benefit to the citizens but it isn't the right way to go about rebuilding the infrastructure. The fact that it is driven by the federal gov't means for every dollar which legitimately goes toward improvements there will be three or four dollars wasted, stolen or lost.

I completely agree. While we do need to look at rebuilding infrastructure it should be done within a larger confine of fiscal responsibility.

What I would love to see (note: this will NEVER happen):

#1) Balance the budget;
#2) Within the balanced budget begin paying down the national debt;
#3) While working within a balanced budget AND paying down the national debt begin to lower, however insignificantly, our unfunded liabilities;
#4) Begin rebuilding our infrastructure while working within a balanced budget, paying down our national debt, and lower our unfunded liabilities.

Organizationally, extremely simple.

Politically, impossible as we would have to hurt too many people on the dole.

Doug

That was one of Hilarys worst faults to me, how she embodied the cronyism of Wall street/Washington

I thought that it was where they stood in the courtroom...

It's Intellectual property right???? Of course he owns his idea....

I don't give a **** what Trump does in his spare time as long as he is an Executive Producer in the White House. (throws mic out the window)

 

[Trigger Time]

I think I know: to discredit the non-MSM outlets. Improve the hegemony of the acronym news agencies. Solidify the oligarchy as the only "true" source of news.

It is somewhat in response to the Wikileaks distribution channel and de-centralization of news gathering/reporting. They don't have control.

So, if they paint everything that doesn't come from an approved source to be "false," then they control the message.



As long as your mom stays so friendly to us, I think it'll work out.




Yeah, but its tough when people get us confused for each other...

have fun with her as long as you don't send her back
