President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Oh, not talking about you.

 

Мелания и Иванка, показать нам свои сиськи!

 

Don't think so ... 48 stars on that flag

 

And cherry picked the most ignorant answers for publication?

No.

 

Do you have any evidence that he did read it? If the release was issued by the Office of the President elect they may not have bothered to show it to him. But even if he did so what? He accepts a job he knows nothing about. Then the press release is given to him to read and he starts to realize he doesn't know what the Department of Energy does. Does he rewrite or does he smile and clear the release.

Further evidence is contained in the story. Perry is quoted as saying in his 2012 Presidential campaign as wanting to close the Department of Energy as because "They’ve never created one bit of energy, the best I can tell." While that may be technically true the Department of Energy provides a significant portion of the electric distribution capacity in the country through power authorities. So it does provide the wires to move the power. Would someone with a basic understanding of the DOE phrase an argument to close the agency the way Perry did?

The one guy quoted, who was a Perry campaign adviser, could have been in damage control.

 

Heh, too bad there is no "th" sound in Russian.

"Кит" means whale.

 

Did you look at the feed, though? I don't get the sense that he's making fun of everybody. There are a few idiots in there, but plenty of normal, smiling people saying things like, "I think he's going to bring jobs back." That doesn't seem like an unreasonable thing to quote someone saying.

I have to say that this is one day that I really, really wish Bernie had been elected. Those interviews would be absolutely priceless.

 

They need a safe space from their own thoughts and ideas.

 

Hmm. Good catch. The link I saw referred to it as JFK's inauguration.

So, what's it from?

 

I'm sure he'll eventually run into all of the college professors and Fortune 500 board members who constitute Trump's base.

 

Fake news!

 

No, I didn't look at the feed. Usually stuff like that has me at full-tilt cringe anyway, so I suspect this would have put me at warp-cringe level.

You're right about the Bern-sters. Couple of my seriously lefty Facebook pals are in meltdown mode over today, but they were full-throat for ole Bernie last summer. Now they're talking about how ashamed they are by what their fellow Americans have done. I'm thinking (but not saying), guys, your hands ain't exactly clean here.
