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

So does that make the CNN report fake news?

yes. But they're fine with it

Well they did admit they refused to report saddam's rape rooms for fear of losing their imbedded reporters access during the first gulf war. You know, when they became relevant. It's more important to keep access than report truthfully from the most trusted name in news...

So dropping a phrase means he wants to keep the swamp now. Sure, OK.

Now that we know he dropped a phrase it all makes sense. I mean just look st all
the insiders he's stuffing his cabinet with

5 billionaires in a cabinet. I mean who is insider if they aren't? These people aren't cocktail party socialite billionaires, they are captains of industry. The industries with legions of employees, lawyers, and lobbyists. It's a fair bet that they are actively seeking to influence govt for their benefit, not the people. It makes sense, they have an obligation to the company. Hell, I'd do the same thing. It's smart to be a insider for the benefit of your bottom line.

Ah yes, the evil rich. Can't forget another wonderful bogeyman. They're white too.

This is a no win situation. Either you're a complete novice and know nothing about how the government works and will therefore be next to useless. Or your a billionaire, experienced in running large, complex, intricately entangled organizations but too rich and too connected to be trusted. We tried the university ensconced brainiakes for the last 8 years. Maybe...just maybe...it's time to let people that have had to earn a profit run stuff for awhile. We'll then have a chance to compare and contrast...an A versus B test of sorts to see which is better.

Every index and "outlook" measure I've seen reported since the election is a massive up-tick in positivity. This is going to be epic.

Well, here comes the race card again. Funny how often comments like these follow my posts.

Noticed that, have ya?

It's only because they haven't learned how to whistle.

yeah, it's me playing the race card... I'm just serving up a softball for YOU to do your standard reaction to any situation.

Ever think it's because you bring up race in all kinds of absurd ways and essentially call many of us racists? It has nothing to do with your skin color, it has everything to do with your posts.

i know how to whistle. What does that have to do with anything?

You are doctor. Isn't it a requirement that doctors know more than humans?

You do know a lot about anatomy right? I know you can identify an sphincter when you see one.

Never again! That liked to have killed me last time.

I'd rather have some wealthy folks than have everyone poor except for government leaders. At least I have reason to try.

Yeah, we should have had Hilary and her Wall Street connections in the White House. I'm sure she would have curbed any billionaires from actively seeking to to influence govt for their benefit, not the people. Oh, and put a stop to any undue influence from lobbying groups. Instead they would be rebranded as charitable foundations much like her own.
