Donald Trump chooses Rick Perry to be energy secretary

drainin' that swamp... 

Wow! Back in the late 60's and early 70's  I was searching for Russian submarines in the Pacific Ocean because they were a threat to the U.S. interests, I believe we should looked into Trump's politics back then when he was making deals with Russia. All that money, time, and fellow sailors (we ditched some military aircraft in the pacific) spent searching for the Russian submarines, now they seem to be in Trump Plaza all this time. Heil Trump!!

And looking for the irony that is lost on them, as well.  Perhaps it's in the Costco Lost-and-found?

Apparently the CIA having "testified" that the Russians meddled on behalf of Trump is not a problem for Trumpsters.  Wikileaks is a "foreign entity" too, for that matter.  I can easily imagine the yuge outcry had the election's circumstances been reversed.

Funny how in the same breath you complain about the Constitution working as it was designed to (having Electors who act as a check on the electorate to ensure foreign powers do not achieve improper influence in the operation of our government) and then try to frame this utilization of the Constitution as tinkering with it somehow.

Trump supporters must be buying their hypocrisy in bulk these days.

In all seriousness though, not too enthused with most of his choices for cabinet positions so far, but this one is simply untenable!

Business as usual?  From that left wing rag "Newsweek"

How Donald Trump's Business Ties Are Already Jeopardizing U.S. Interests

I am 67.  This is nothing like "business as usual" in my experience.

Nothing at all.

For me, this is not about HRC losing. She lost.  It is about the man who won, how he won, who he presents himself to be,  and what he and his cabinet proposes to do.

Trump is still not POTUS and with all the efforts to contest / nullify the election by the Democrats, he may not ever be.  The latest effort led by California elector Christine Pelosi based upon the fake news / conspiracy theory item about Russia being responsible for Trump's win may send the Electoral College process off the rails.

And everyone was all up in arms about Trump possibly contesting the results.  But the same people are all good with the Democrats actually doing it,

Meanwhile the lame duck Congress is busy passing all this Truth Ministry legislation using the Russia CT as an excuse.

Since this legislation was written last summer, one can only wonder if the alleged and yet to be proven Russian interference is being amped up to get this further erosion of the First Amendment through Congress with another false flag scenario.

Oh and the irony of a foreign government interfering with us.  Didn't Obama just try and screw Netanyahu's re election chances in Israel's last election with direct underhanded efforts.  and how many governments have we overthrown, leaders have we outright murdered ?  

Hillary lost.  Get over it and leave the Constitution alone.

 
Welcome to the new era of McCarthyism, Democrat style ...

...I heard that after he was asked about his first 100 days he got upset and said "I have to be President for a hundred days?!?!?!"

I would posit that the perspective and challenges of Bill Gates are different than most of us.

Also - JFK was a rich guy with a rich family who used the presidency as his personal pulpit. JFK nearly got us into a hot war with Russia. JFK would have had many scandals if the media had covered him honestly...

Clearly not sucking up. More like he's dangling a carrot... JFK is revered, and Trump wants that. And Trump listens to money.

Interesting... what could Gates have to gain from sucking up to Donnie?

I sit back and laugh at hypocrisy and those caught up in the contest between 2 opposing sides instead of truly caring for everyone even those that do not think the same. That goes for either "side".

hey just between us billionaires....

After talking with Trump, Bill Gates says president-elect could be like JFK

 

and hey if bill gates is optimistic....

I said "us" intentionally. If you can sit back and laugh at people being hurt you must be an "elite" too. Welcome to the club.

Yes you can, though the premise that any of them care regardless of political persuasion is amusing.

Yeah, it will be a real laugh to all those that will be genuinely hurt by reductions in services and protections. Good thing us "elites" can sit back and get a chuckle out of displays of irony huh?
