I really think trump is talking about all of the "intellectuals" in government. Like all the scientist know it alls and lifetime worker bees who are stealing money from the hard working tru americans. If you can punch holes into these agencies then you can neuter there ability to make changes. Ushering in a pro business era that is light on regulations and big on speculative bubbles. They can make trillions during the bubble and then buy everything else in the bust thats 10 years out. Steady sensible growth is gone.

Dude is already the most corrupt public official and he hasn't yet served a single day of elected office. Brilliant! This is what you morons get for electing the most grossly unqualified piece of shit, ever.
Indeed, that's one of the real stunners of the blind Trump adulation. The same people who chanted "Crooked Hillary" are now thrilled to support a guy who's already demonstrated unpresidented [sic] corruption, and he hasn't even taken office yet. It's a good thing GOP congressmen are such partisan hypocrites. If. compared to Obama and Clinton, they persecute investigate Trump with a proportional level of zeal and number of committees, they won't have the time left to gut Medicare and Social Security.

we got ourselves some 3rd world level shit going on here. The only thing we can hope for is it becomes a sobering experience for him. If there is a major terrorist attack and he was gloating about not reading the security briefs there will be major criticism and we all know how well he deals with that.

and that's the "best" part--when you see congressional committees constantly going after the admin and his various"private" business partners and tying up every functional hour of Congress dealing with Trump's bullshit, you will have conservatives screaming: "See! You guys do it too! You complained about Bengazi and emails and now U guyz are investigating republicans!"

The derp will remain as strong as ever among conservatives.

Please The new congress will be totally disinclined to investigate anything the new president does. Repubs hold both houses & control the agenda. Shoot somebody? No problemo.

Expect a massive effort to whitewash their grateful acceptance of Russian meddling in the election, as well.

A bit off topic but I'm rather amused by Obama's trolling today and Trump the Chump biting that hook just as hard as he can. :D

It's probably below the dignity of the office but it's like shooting pickles in a jar, just hard to resist.

I'm hoping that President Obama will take plenty of jabs at him after he leaves office. You know that Trump will spin things if they head south after he takes office to place the blame on him and this minions will soak it up like a sponge.

I hope Trump doesn't drop the ball like Obama did with "the JV team"...who now give us massive death and terrorist events on a daily basis. Meanwhile the low IQ Americans adore Obama while rationalizing all his abject failures as only one who is truly brain-dead can do.

Good thing you never lower yourself to insults on these forums.

Obama failed to rule the world? He drove into town right behind the tornado of the Bush Admin whose botched efforts are the source of many of today's problems.

Iraq may have been a lot of things but it was not a failed state & terrorist hotbed prior to the invasion. Syria hadn't been destabilized by millions of Iraqi refugees, either.

Meanwhile, deficits didn't matter if they came with the benefit of trickledown tax cuts & war spending. That & lax oversight fueled the greatest flimflam in the history of finance, the ownership society & a complete reversal of policy to prevent another great depression.

I'm sure Obama could have done better with a congress whose goals weren't to obstruct & to hold onto the booty taken in that top down looting spree.

There's no point in trying to reason with DSF about Obama. His case of ODS is way, way too far gone for that. I mean just look at his history of enraged insults at the guy, declarations that he's the worst ever, etc. There's not a lot of rational discussion to be had.

Obama did a good job overall and there's a pretty broad consensus about that. It's why he's leaving as a popular president despite an age of hyperpartisanship.

Obama had a clear opportunity to contain ISIS when they were relatively small and botched it. Deal with it. He didn't even recognize the magnitude of the threat they posed despite everyone constantly telling him. And you forgot to mention Libya and the resulting destabilization and mass exodus...why is that? The cognitive dissonance just too much to handle? Or is that somehow Bush's fault too? lol

Yes it was bushs fault. It doesn't matter what some salty old shithead thinks at this point. The history books in a hundred years are going to be very clear on who and what. You won't be able to cloud the issue.

But back on topic. Luckily for you if there is a mass casualty terrorist attack chances are it will just kill liberals. So a win. For you. And your kind.

So mass casualty terrorist attacks are effectively a "win" for me and my kind. Got it. You're really quite sick....seek help.

Heh. Document the clear opportunity to contain ISIS, whatever that's supposed to mean.

Document ignoring the threat.

Libya? It doesn't even approach the magnitude of Bush Admin failure in both Iraq & Afghanistan.
