He really is going to start something with China, which will certainly affect the Pacific Rim and the prices at WalMart.
]]>Good luck. Your gonna need a lot of it! And so will we all.

Trump is going to run deficits, and use signing statements, and issue Executive Orders, and all sorts of other actions that the Congressional Republicans condemned Obama for doing, but IOKIYAR

Transition Team Assures Public Trump Has Too Many Conflicts Of Interest To Favor Any Specific One
The funniest part is, it’s probably not far from the truth! 😆
Then, this from Salon:
What do we know about Donald Trump’s outrageous “dossier”? Almost nothing — except that it exposes his most serious weaknesses
Donald Trump, like a giant orange Godzilla, has gone crashing through the political landscape, destroying all manner of ethical norms and standards in his wake.
Even more terrifyingly, there’s very good reason to fear he’s going to get away with it because congressional Republicans are happy to go along with Trump’s lying and likely corruption. Also, the conservative base is completely uninterested in facts and decency, preferring instead to just idolize the Dear Orange Leader.
In face of all this, liberals who continue to insist on democratic norms and the importance of basic decency and honor can, at times, look impotent, often to the point of embarrassing. Some folks have even started suggesting it’s time to give up on all that, arguing that it’s a waste of time when conservatives in the Trump era have become so shameless.
…
He’s spent the past two years blatantly lying at every opportunity, repeatedly stating that true things are false and false things true. He has zero credibility on any issue of substance, and his denials carry no weight. If anything, his denials likely reinforce suspicions that the story is true because of the sheer probability that whatever Donald Trump says, the facts are likely to be the opposite.
😆 😆 😆
]]>Kryten, this the desired effect of post-truth – some people will only believe a very limited number of sources for their information – sources that agree the prejudices that they learned at their daddy’s knee.
There are rumors that he will reduce or commute Manning’s sentence, and he might pardon Snowden, but he has convinced himself that doing it will ‘damage’ his legacy.
The Medal of Freedom is awarded by the President for whatever he/she wants to award it for. There are no requirements other than the President likes you. Biden would have been a major help to Obama with Congress and the Washington system. Obama was an outsider and Biden was an insider. This also probably marks Biden’s retirement from public service. The Shrubbery gave one to John Howard, so that should tell you how important it is 😈
]]>To bad Obama waited so long for the Cuban Visa change. Still, it is about time. *shrug* Amazing what get’s done when time is running out.
And he definitely should pardon Snowden. I know it won’t happen. But Biden get’s a medal. What for, I have no idea! As far as I could see… he didn’t do much if anything. *shrug*
]]>And his voters probably buy that.
