So much said in one sentence.

There is nothing that puts a bigger smile on my face than reading all the whining posts on this site.

Thank all of you for making my day

That's not what you asked originally Schwantz.

Trump is in the White House. Here's some thoughts about his first few days.

“These are not normal times. These are extraordinary times. And extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

When you have a spokesperson for the president of the United States wrap up a lie in the Orwellian phrase "alternative facts”…

When you have a press secretary in his first appearance before the White House reporters threaten, bully, lie, and then walk out of the briefing room without the cajones to answer a single question…

When you have a President stand before the stars of the fallen CIA agents and boast about the size of his crowds (lies) and how great his authoritarian inaugural speech was….

These are not normal times.

The press has never seen anything like this before. The public has never seen anything like this before. And the political leaders of both parties have never seen anything like this before.

What can we do? We can all step up and say simply and without equivocation. "A lie, is a lie, is a lie!" And if someone won't say it, those of us who know that there is such a thing as the truth must do whatever is in our power to diminish the liar's malignant reach into our society.

There is one group of people who can do a lot - very quickly. And that is Republicans in Congress. Without their support, Donald Trump's presidency will falter. So here is what I think everyone in the press must do. If you are interviewing a Paul Ryan, a Mitch McConnell, or any other GOP elected official, the first question must be "what will you do to combat the lying from the White House?" If they dodge and weave, keep with the follow ups. And if they refuse to give a satisfactory answer, end the interview.

Facts and the truth are not partisan. They are the bedrock of our democracy. And you are either with them, with us, with our Constitution, our history, and the future of our nation, or you are against it. Everyone must answer that question.”

Keep those alternative facts coming Schwantz.

Don't ya love those alternative facts Schwantz?

that is the funniest thing I've read on this whole thread....

Since the period for public comment (aka "the election") is over, perhaps we could focus more on what's ahead.

To measure the administration's future performance, perhaps you could list ONLY 3 objectives that if they achieved them would constitute a "successful term".

These three priorities, then, should be the marching orders you give your elected representatives (Congress) who should then be able to push through if they have enough support?

Were you talking to this lady Schwantz?

Trump won the popular vote in 31 states to Clinton's 19 and D.C. 62% to her 38%.

Hillary won California 5,860,714 to Trump’s 3,151,821. 61.6% to 33.1% exclusive of the other candidates. Thus California gave Hillary the popular vote for all states as claimed by the Democrats and their media stooges.

But deduct her California vote from her national vote leaving her with 54,978,783, and deduct Trump’s California vote from his national total, leaving him with 57,113.976, he wins in a landslide in the other 49 states, 51.3% to her 48.7%.

So, in effect, Hillary was elected president of California and Trump was elected president of the rest of the country by a substantial margin.

This exemplifies the wisdom of the Electoral College, to prevent the vote of any one populace state from overriding the vote of the others.

The Democratic party is at its lowest point since the Civil War! Could this mean the end of the Democrat Party? Now that January 20, 2017 has come and gone, the Republican Party has:

1) The Presidency.

2) A majority of the House of Representatives.

3) A majority of the Senate.

4) Almost two-thirds of all the governorships.

5) Total control of the statehouses in almost two-thirds of all the states.

And in the near future, Republicans will be able to add:

6) A majority of the Supreme Court. The above has never happened before in American history.

And why is this?

The first days inside Trump’s White House: Fury, tumult and a reboot

Triumph Poops On Trump's Inauguration



“Yes, today Donald Trump will be sworn in and on Monday he will move into the White House,” Triumph began, “continuing his long tradition of evicting black families.”

After the speech had ended, Triumph praised Trump’s nod to Franklin D. Roosevelt, “when he said all we have to fear is fear itself, and Muslims, and Mexicans, most of the Middle East, all of Africa except South Africa, BuzzFeed, Access Hollywood, chemtrails, lizard people, undercover cops posing as hookers, undercover dudes posing a lady hookers, snakes, Saturday Night Live and backstabbing Bruce Springsteen cover bands.”

Alternative Facts

“I’m a very big person when it comes to the environment. I have received awards on the environment.”
— President Trump, remarks during a meeting with business leaders, Jan. 23

The Facts

The short answer is: No. Media outlets and environmental groups have tried to find evidence of this claim since 2011 but have come up short. We could not readily find references to Trump’s environmental awards in news coverage over the past 10 years. We checked with the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Sierra Club, and none had any record of Trump’s environmental awards.

Alternative Facts

President Donald Trump believes millions of votes were cast illegally in last year's election, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Tuesday, but he wouldn't provide any concrete evidence for the claim, which has long been debunked.

"The President does believe that, I think he's stated that before, and stated his concern of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign and continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence people have brought to him," Spicer said.

Pressed for what evidence exists, Spicer would say only that Trump "has believed that for a while based on studies and information he has."

When pushed about whether Trump will call for an investigation into the voter fraud, Spicer said, "maybe we will."

The Facts

A number of studies have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The Truth About Voter Fraud, a report written by experts at The Brennan Center for Justice, found voter fraud rates were between 0.00004% and 0.0009%.

"Given this tiny incident rate for voter impersonation fraud, it is more likely, the report noted, that an American will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls," reads the report.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed Trump earlier Tuesday over the claim. "I wasn't there, but if the President of the United States is claiming that 3.5 million people voted illegally, that shakes confidence in our democracy — he needs to disclose why he believes that," Graham told CNN.



This is too easy Schwantz.

CRUSHING THE MEDIA WAS AN ORDER!

From the Washington Post

While the phrase “alternative facts” reminded many of the terms “falsehoods,” “lies” and “untruths,” it reminded many others of George Orwell’s dystopian, politically charged novel “1984.”

- If you play George Orwell's book "1984" backwards, it says "Trump is President, Trump is President, Trump is President"

- 1984 has become the inspiring story about a man overcoming fake news to love his leader.

- #IKnewWeWereDoomed when '1984' started sounding like a current events textbook.

Not only were people inspired to tweet about that, they wanted to purchase a copy. By early Wednesday morning, the novel was the best-selling book on Amazon.com.

“We put through a 75,000 copy reprint this week. That is a substantial reprint and larger than our typical reprint for ‘1984,’” a Penguin spokesman told CNN.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command,” for example, reminded some of Spicer’s argument that Trump’s inauguration had record-breaking crowds, despite obvious evidence to the contrary.

Speaker At Group Supported By Betsy DeVos Says Hitler Was Good At Reaching Children

Any thoughts on this Schwantz?

Don’t look now: It’s President Pence! Donald Trump can be deposed, even without impeachment

"Donald Trump is in over his head. This comes as no surprise to the millions of people who could see that he was unprepared and unfit for the job of president of the United States and voted against him. He’s basically a celebrity heir to a fortune who was so entitled that he believed his privileged existence proved he was competent to run the most powerful nation on Earth. That’s the attitude of an aristocrat who ascended to the throne without having any idea what it actually takes to rule. History’s full of such men. It doesn’t often work out well."

Schwantz? Schwantz? Earth to Schwantz.

Eleven Stories To Watch

1. MOVING TO LIFT THE BAN ON CIA BLACK SITES
“The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping executive order that would clear the way for the Central Intelligence Agency to reopen overseas ‘black site’ prisons, like those where it detained and tortured terrorism suspects before former President Obama shut them down,” the New York Times’s Charlie Savage reports.

2. MUZZLING AGENCIES:
“Trump administration officials instructed employees at multiple agencies in recent days to cease communicating with the public through news releases, official social media accounts and correspondence, raising concerns that federal employees will be able to convey only information that supports the new president’s agenda,” Juliet Eilperin and Brady Dennis report.

3. AN ASSAULT ON CLIMATE SCIENCE:
It’s not surprising that Trump followed through on promises to issue executive orders to revive the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines, but the administration is making a much harder play below the radar to eviscerate Obama’s environmental legacy.

It has instructed EPA officials to freeze all grants and contracts, a move that could affect everything from state-led climate research to localized efforts to improve air and water quality to environmental justice projects aimed at helping poor communities.

4. BLOCKING REGULATIONS, INCLUDING ONE TO PREVENT PLANE CRASHES:
White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus issued an order Friday night to freeze all regulations that haven’t yet been formally published in the Federal Register.

5. KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN TO ENTITLEMENT CUTS:
Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), defended his support for cuts to popular entitlement programs that Trump vowed to keep intact during the campaign.

6. DECLINING TO COMMIT THAT CONSUMERS WILL BE BETTER OFF UNDER OBAMACARE REPLACEMENT:
Trump’s choice for health secretary repeatedly refused during his own testy confirmation hearing to promise that no Americans will be worse off under Trump’s executive order to ease provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

7. RETAINING COMEY:
Hillary Clinton believes very strongly that FBI director James Comey cost her the election with his two announcements during the run-up to Nov. 8, and she’s angry that he did not publicly discuss evidence of Russian interference on behalf of Trump.

8. SESSIONS REFUSING TO RECUSE HIMSELF:
“Attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions won’t commit to recusing himself from potential Justice Department investigations into controversies involving Trump — from Russia to business conflicts of interest — despite his vigorous campaigning on behalf of Trump during the 2016 election season,” Politico’s Seung Min Kim reports.

9. CURTAILING ABORTION:
Flanked by a group in the Oval Office that consisted entirely of men, Trump reinstated the so-called Mexico City policy. The Reagan-era policy bans American assistance to organizations that offer abortion services, including counseling and referrals.

10. RENEGING ON PROMISES OF TRANSPARENCY
During the presidential campaign, Trump said repeatedly that he could not release his returns because he is undergoing an audit and that he would do so once that process is complete. The audit has always been a flimsy excuse. Nothing is stopping him from releasing the returns any way, and he could release previous years not under audit.

11. TAKING THE OIL
Speaking crassly in front of the honor wall at CIA headquarters in Langley, Trump said Saturday that the United States should have kept the oil after the liberation of Iraq. “To the victor belong the spoils,” he said. “So we should have kept the oil. But, okay, maybe you’ll have another chance.”

Amway was the company behind claiming the Proctor & Gamble logo symbolized Satanism. They were able to get dropped from the suit and left their distributors holding the bag.
