ahhh, but flute4peace, there's no PROOF of that. Therefore, it didn't happen. Kind of like a toddler covers their eyes because if they can't see YOU, then YOU can't see them.
HOW is it the 'dishonest media' if Mexico has repeatedly SAID 'we won't pay for your wall??' Oh, wait... the 'dishonest' media is probably lying about THAT, too, right?? I'm sure the Mexican government has said they're HAPPY to pay billions of dollars for something like that, and we just don't KNOW about it- right??
would these people be happy if someone did the whole 'I'd gladly pay you Tuesday if you buy this cheeseburger for me today' line to THEM?? And would they actually BELIEVE that person?? Are that many people REALLY so blinded by his cult of personality / celebrity that they can't see the idiocy of what he's actually SAYING and DOING?? It's just a propaganda tactic--say it enough times and it b comes true. Most won't go check out or dig to find out if something is true or not, they believe stuff like the fake news, hate ads. They are essentially being brainwashed.

Add to it that he just told all of the people in charge of maintaining our nuclear arsenal that they need to be out by January 20. If anyone is still on the fence, these are not the actions of a leader who has America's safety or best interests at heart. These are the actions of a person who wants complete control over everything and wants to obliterate any traces of the person who was president before him. My eyes just bugged out of my head so hard that they made me top-heavy and I fell out of my chair.

These are the actions of a person who wants complete control over everything and wants to obliterate any traces of the person who was president before him. I believe this has to be clarified. Trump did not fire anyone in the National Nuclear Security Administration. Whenever there’s a change in administration, it is expected that the leaders in those agencies appointed by the prior president would resign. The issue revolves around the 2 leaders of NNSA, not all the employees. Trump has not nominated anyone to those 2 positions, which is the cause for concern since the confirmation process of their replacements will likely take months. In reading this morning’s news, I have not seen anything that indicates the Trump admin has instructed the 2 leaders to leave by Jan 20, nor has there been any indication that he has fired all the employees in that agency. I would be pleased if you would correct me if I’m wrong in what I’ve written.

I saw tweet shared on FB that said "if all of the celebrities would constantly criticize Trump for the next 4 years, he'd be too busy with that to kill us all." (paraphrasing to the best of my memory) Not a bad idea.

I've been watching for other stories addressing the nuclear workers as well.
It seems like presidents in the past have been fine leaving workers in place when they don't have anyone ready to take over. This time, it's scorched earth.
It doesn't seem like a great idea for certain agencies. If the ambassador post to Botswana is vacant for a few months, no biggie. But nuclear agencies and Canada? Probably kind of a big deal.

A bit random, but: I was reading a Yahoo article about the Mexican premier saying that Mexicans will NOT pay for the wall, and the comments are always sort of entertaining...
This bit made me chuckle: "Trump's America, where truth comes to die..." chuckle in a sad way, though. Because it really IS. There are still HUNDREDS of comments on the article about Trump saving car-mfg jobs, how Mexico certainly WILL pay for the wall, etc. etc.

I did find a follow-up for the Gizmodo article.
The relevant people have offered their resignation per tradition. Usually, when there is nobody ready to take over the reigns, the incoming admin has asked them to stay. At this point, nobody from the Trump administration has asked them to do so.

Look what I found, the Twitter in Chief spreadsheet to beat all spreadsheets! It has his tweets categorized by words and phrases. It's twitter gold. The stuff he's said is mind blowing. As we've said a thousand times, it's hard to believe this joke is going to be the most powerful man in the country. We are really doomedOmg. Scroll down and read tweets under Retaliation. 😲

Oh goody! From the linked CNN article: "Classified documents presented to President Obama and trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about trump multiple US Officials with direct knowledge of the briefing tell CNN". Then we certainly are screwed if that is true. This is the kind of crap you hear about in a third world country. Unbelievable.

Here's something interesting....if his staff is ignoring his tweets instead of advising him NOT TO DO IT, there,s big problems already.
"James Carafano, who's on Donald J. Trump's transition team, says to ignore the president-elect's tweets on foreign policy."
**from Portico. There's a video interview with Carafano.

That Twitter archive puts our little threads to shame...lol. I'm surprised there wasn't a category for "over-rated" he seems to like that one a lot.
But seriously that is truly a frightening look into the orange menace's mind. What a mess. Perhaps that was Russia's plan all along - get Trump elected and then sit back and watch while he destabilises one of the most powerful countries single handedly. Then with the USA broke and in chaos...Russia will be free to do whatever they want.

A_Guy_In_Glasses @brandonq84 My question is why would @realdonaldtrump need to pay for #GoldenShowers? I know at the very least, half the country would piss on him for free...🤔🤔

You know what's really amazing about that Twitter archive, is that in every single one of his "Happy Holidays" tweets, he says "haters and losers" or "enemies". EVERY SINGLE ONE.
The man is mentally ill and he is going to end up running our country.

The man is mentally ill and he is going to end up running our country. I noticed that too. He could not help himself...he could not just post happy Father's Day, happy thanksgiving etc...it had to be followed with a losers/enemies/haters dig. All the way way back to 2011...

So now we know what's on tiny hands mind today. Still harping about how easily he won the election with his "movement". Of course if he would release his tax returns we know if he was speaking the truth when he says he has no loans etc with Russia.
The big question today is will he have his big press conference.
"Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?"
"I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!"
"Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"
"Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!"

Does he think once he becomes president no one will take "shots" at him? This from the man who kept the "birther" movement going even after Obama was president? Oh if he thinks that, he is in for a rude awakening.
