Draining the Swamp begins...

[MrSquished]

The makeup of his cabinet is a valid concern but an entirely different one. Personally I don't see where something like passing term limits has any overlap whatsoever with who is in his Cabinet. For example, let's say he hires the "climate change denier" as the EPA administrator, is that somehow going to preclude him from passing term limits?

you think career politicans looking forward to a life as lobbyists are going to really buck the system that prevents them from doing so? Or lessen their chances to gain re-election with term limits? As Mitch McConnell has already said, term limits are elections.

I got bridge. You buy. Overpriced. You still buy.

This is hilarious. Trump supporters mocking the other side for losing it. They always were losing it at the thought of Trump being president and that they knew Trump won't do a single shit he promised. Now that it has become a reality, they are merely pointing it out to the idiot supporters that they have been duped. But the Trump supporters have no recourse, have no explanation so they are just pointing and laughing that Trump haters are losing it. No - they are just, once again, saying that same thing they did before.

This guy is a liar and that he is just saying the catchy phrases to get in the office ("Build the wall", "Drain the swamp", "Make America great again"). Now is when we start to see it in front of our eyes that he won't do shit, Trump supporters have no way to defend that. The other side (people who didn't want Trump to win) already lost, now starts the long, slow and painful loss of Trump supporters when they realize that they got taken by a con man.

look at it this way: Trump doing nothing is pretty much modus operandi for the contemporary republican party. They haven't put out any policies much less ideas of policies as a rebuttal for all of those "horrible ideas" coming from the democrats for the last 8 years. They're used to loving their good conservative soldiers in Congress whose only job has ever been to block block block Obama!

I think they forgot how to govern, and they are probably OK with that. Their fear of Hillary was that she would actually do something--and doing any of it was just too much for them. Trump doing nothing is probably all many of these guys want. Which sucks, because there are some people out there that rationally voted for him hoping he could address their issues.

Sad!

A top tier businessman bringing in other top tier businessmen to ransack the treasury and make the middle class refill it over and over and over and over......who'da thunk?

I hate to say this, but sometime in the near future when Trump's full agenda gets exposed as being Bush&Cheney's Reach for the Riches Part Deux, the phrase "Trump's Chumps" is going to be used in a very nasty derogatory manner.

.

It's hard to dispute that when he's got Pence for VP and probably hiring Priebus for something. Don't even get me started on Christie, or the truly mind-boggling pick of Palin. Is a single video plug that got laughed at by pretty much everyone worth a cabinet position? Are you fucking with me? Let's hope she turns into one of his many ignored bills.

If he's getting rid of Christie instead of shuffling him then I'll be impressed. Christie is heavy baggage, no pun intended.

It isn't my fault that you don't know what Trump meant by "drain the swamp". Basically what you're doing is called a strawman. Take a break cupcake.

another one that went hiding for the last 3 months because he couldn't take the lumps, and is now only here to gloat.

no respect for this kid.

Sad!

Did you say "Sad!" like Trump does?

I'm here only to gloat a bit and I'll leave this cesspool behind. I don't seek your respect.

Yep, only here to gloat a bit. I, for one, love hanging out in places where no one respects me.

How does that feel, though? weird, huh?

anyhoo--just today, apparently Trump lashed out at protesters via Twitter, then later praised them. lol. This guy is going to be entertainment for the next 4 years.

I sure will miss eastern/northern Europe, and so will my loved ones. Thanks, Drumpf!

Sad!

I suspect the liberals are just jealous of Trump's awesome team. Colbert is pundit vying for attention. That goes double for anyone else out there.

I suspect you haven't been able to pass a Drumpf in days. It must be so massive it's blocking normal blood flow to your brain.

Sad!

What does jesus think of you supporting a degenerate who stands against everything he preached, instead of a woman whose foundation actually helps a lot of people?

Is he really going to do Ben Carson for education? A man who has had an education that exposed him to cell biology, genetics and organic chemistry - and still denies evolution and believes we lived alongside the dinosaurs? I know firsthand doing prereqs for medical school that you specifically study and learn the mechanics of evolution. Throw in a climate change denier to head the EPA and Palin anywhere, someone who can't even speak intelligible English. What a shit show, to be expected I suppose. All that is missing now is some nepotism bringing in his nitwit sons to screw up something.

 

[agent00f]

^Perhaps that is true, but Trump has yet to even govern for 24 hours and liberals are throwing a hissy fit.

Makes it pretty obvious how well jesus stack ranks in your book, huh?

Jeffrey Eisenach, a consultant who has worked for years on behalf of Verizon and other telecommunications clients, is the head of the team that is helping to pick staff members at the Federal Communications Commission.

Heyhey! Say good-bye to net neutrality! You will get the shittiest internet speeds at premium cost along with the shittiest service, because Verizon wants so. Let's make a bet?

Michael Catanzaro, a lobbyist whose clients include Devon Energy and Encana Oil and Gas, holds the “energy independence” portfolio.

Michael Torrey, a lobbyist who runs a firm that has earned millions of dollars helping food industry players such as the American Beverage Association and the dairy giant Dean Foods, is helping set up the new team at the Department of Agriculture.

Do conservatives really think these are good appointments conductive to improving their lives and breaking away from the government broken by the establishment? Or are they just too punch drunk on the whole "Yeah well... suck it libs!" sugar rush to think rationally? A part of me really wishes Trump sought this office to really stick it to the establishment just because he can. But if his appointments are any indication, it only serves to highlight the concern that all he really did was cut out the middle man and get a blue blood lobbyist in the driver's seat.

It could just be me, but I'll go out on a limb here; having a self-admitted molester, who's mighty proud of his molestation of women, in any position of power? That's bad. Very bad.

You can't "drain the swamp" without plugging the stream that feed's it

I figure he was just assigned to troll elsewhere from July 26 until election day. I wonder how well it pays.

President-Elect Trump will make me whistle as I take my leave. So happy Hillary was stopped.

He's a Republican, right? What did they expect- a New Deal Democrat?
