These freaks are now the heart and soul of the Republican mainstream under their new leader, Vlad Putin!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday everyone. Forget Minority President Trump (MPT) for a few weeks. He has not had to own anything yet. The news media is having a celebration with all the speculation stories. He is not up to the job and that will be apparent quickly. Enjoy the break hold everyone close.

Same to you, hornblower - that’s a nice sentiment indeed.

Unless you have a chip on your shoulder about it, and intend to carry it forever, I don’t get it.

Sorry but I just don’t understand punishing the entire country over hurt feelings.

Given Trump’s oft repeated advocation to “strengthen” libel laws, it is ironic that he and his supporters libel and slander others so easily and regularly.

Given his nonstop attacks on President Obama for 8 years, it is ironic that he and his supporters are so very thin-skinned when it comes to someone criticizing them.

Sounds more like a business plan than irony.

All hail President Twitler.

Expecting the abysmally stupid to wake up is a yuuugly tall order. After all they had 1 & 1/2 years to find out what they were buying. I share your hope but I won’t hold my breath. My full time job will be trying to survive this man’s term.

At this rate, the US middle and working class will be better off if they are nuked into oblivion. If they think change that helps them will come from electing billionaires to run the government then they are dumber than their votes for Trump.

The election of “that man” and the rise of his ilk are a surprise to no one who understands who we really are. All it ever takes for the rash to erupt is the right set of circumstances. We have always had a strain of ill informed, rather stupid people, who are authoritarian, fail to realize that we are no longer rural gun carrying survivalists, and are no longer white agrarians. They want to destroy, because they cannot deal with their fear. They are in the twilight of their ascendance. All of a sudden, they will be overwhelmed by demographics, just like what happened in California. The actuarial tables and the birth rates will do them in ultimately, but like a bulb that burns brightly before it goes out, there will soon be too few of them to gerrymander into power.

First off I would like to send my wishes for everyone to have a wonderful holiday, which ever your holiday is.

Now to business:
Trump’s team is asking for the names of all at State and other depts. who are working on defeating extremism. I have the feeling he wants to fire all and start over.

He may be working for the extremists inadvertently.
More and more trump’s state of mind reminds me of Nixon’s mental state just before he resigned.

I live in AZ where the demographics are certainly changing. The change to blue will not be sudden as it will take at least a decade more of changes at the state level. My state has had a GOP majority in both chambers since 1969 and that’s not healthy… for any party. So, when the change comes it will be slow but tectonic.

You have no clue about what I meant, do you?

I know you mean a top floor residence when you say penthouse, but after seeing nude photos of the future First Lady all I can think of is Penthouse magazine.
Another first for the Manhattan hillbillies.

Oh, cripes. Surely we can wrinkle our noses at an outhouse (common in the state and national parks where we elitist liberals like to go for hikes) without making a cultural/political statement.
