In reply to Steve. Steve, yes, and thanks for mentioning that. I actually rewrote more of that paragraph to be more explicit about what Trump claimed. Cheers.

Did you mean popular where you wrote electoral in the first sentence?

Brainstorms @17 – sorry too early in the am here and I misread your remark – right that’s exactly what he’s doing

Brainstorms @17 I know – notice I said

“Except for draining the swamp, protecting SS and Medicare, everything Trump said is something you can almost count on him to go forward with and then some”

IOKIYAR, duh. Remember, to become a card-carrying Republican, you must take the Hypocritical Oath…

If confirmed, shall we take to calling him, “Crooked Petraeus”? Shall we call his classified information leak, ‘The greatest “national security problem” this country has ever faced‘?

I’m waiting for the yuuuge backlash against Trump’s considering Petraeus for an appointment. After all, treating classified information as unimportant is a major problem, right? (Unless, of course, the reason for leaking it is to get a well-of middle-aged white guy laid by a “hot young woman”: then, apparently, it’s perfectly fine.)

Doug, Trump promised to “drain the swamp”, and he’s already started to fulfill that promise…

…He’s draining it into the White House.

From the grandson of a Jewish man who saw the dangers of Hitler in time to get himself and two sisters out of Vienna while the remaining friends and family mocked him for over reacting,. Out of that the grandson developed 3 principles for dealing with a Trump

http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/217831/what-to-do-about-trump

Below is just a summary of those points – do read the whole article (it’s short)

1. Treat every poisoned word as a promise.
2. treat people like adults, which means respecting them enough to demand that they understand the consequences of their actions
3. Refuse to accept what’s going on as the new normal. Not now, not ever

Except for draining the swamp, protecting SS and Medicare, everything Trump said is something you can almost count on him to go forward with and then some

Freedom of speech is very big on his agenda – getting rid of it I mean, and the rest of the Rethuglicans will all be on board with that. With a 4 year term he will have the opportunity to replace up to 3 SCOTUS judges (unless the current elderly democrats manage to hang on.) If that happens it will be 7-2 and you can kiss goodbye to almost everything that they can twist to seem constitutional .

Forgot to mention the rationale for Trump's new name for the SS: Waffen SS = the White/Alt-right Forces For the Empowerment of NACSIsm, Secret Services division.

Trump has decided to rename & repurpose the Secret Service once he starts his new Reich.. er, administration. Starting January 20th, they will not just protect Der Furor and his family, but will be expanded to form the new “Protective Squadron” for his NACSI Party.

They shall henceforth be called the Waffen SS, and will be commanded by Reichsführer SS Stephen Bannon.
