From “size DOES matter” trump..
“Congratulations to all of the ”DEPLORABLES” and the millions of people who gave us a MASSIVE (304-227) Electoral College landslide victory!”
His fixation with size must mean he is compensating for something.😁
That “landslide” = winning roughly by 100,000 votes but losing by 3M votes.

Out of 58 presidential elections, 45 were landslide-ier than his. That ain't massive. I'm still perplexed by this man's thinking. He's certainly seen the same wickipedia page I have. Does he not believe it? In denial? Or does he just know millions will believe his...erm...massively inaccurate claim? Not only do I not know which to think, I'm not even sure which answer is worse...

From the Washington Post....
“But House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said that he intended to move full steam ahead on a House plan that would cut taxes by $1.5 trillion over 10 years but deliver the bulk of the cuts to corporations and the wealthy.
“It doesn’t change my reading of the current moment,” Ryan said of the elections during a morning event hosted by the Washington Examiner. “It just emphasizes my reading of the current moment, which is: We have a promise to keep, and we have to get on with keeping our promise.”
“I fundamentally believe, when we deliver on comprehensive tax reform and tax relief. . . . I think that’s going to bear fruit politically, but most importantly it’s going to help people,” he added.”
Ryan is in denial about what happened last night. He believes if he gets tax reform passed all will be well. I think Ryan is finding out that what he thinks is good for the country the majority of Americans don’t.
trump is another one in denial and that is why he keeps dragging out what he considers past victories because that’s all he’s got almost one year into his presidency.
Here we have two of the most powerful men in our government that are in denial. #Sad #We’re screwed. #🚫 MAGA.

Kurt Eichenwald....
“A handy guide for conservatives on how to react to the same allegations that different people engaged in sexual abuse: 1. Weinstein: "It's Hillary's fault!" 2. Spacey: "Dems caused this!" 3. Trump: "Those are lies!" 4. Roy Moore: "Dem conspiracy!"
Can’t argue with that.

Lordy, I just love that scene!

linkLA Times on anther potential change to deductions... “The legislation specifically repeals the deduction for personal casualty losses. The Internal Revenue Service describes casualty losses as including those from “natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. It can also include losses from fires, accidents, thefts or vandalism.” In the case of a major disaster, Congress still would be able to pass special legislation offering tax breaks for victims, as it has done in the past.” The last paragraph might happen for a big “event” like the recent hurricanes and wildfires. But a lot folks are impacted by smaller events that would make it “good luck getting tax breaks” from Congress. 🚫 #MAGA #Gottopayforthetaxcutsfortherich

AP.....
“US stocks deliver strong gains one year after Trump's election. apne.ws/dW478Wv”
This is based solely on trump /GOP promises of tax cuts and trump keeping his promise to roll back regulations.
While it great for my 401(k) how does this translate into US jobs when businesses are investing in technology and increasing their presence outside the US so the can compete in the global market? Neither of which is going away.

WSJ... “WASHINGTON—Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating an alleged plan involving former White House National Security Adviser Mike Flynn to forcibly remove a Muslim cleric living in the U.S. and deliver him to Turkey in return for millions of dollars, according to people familiar with the investigation. Under the alleged proposal, Mr. Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., were to be paid as much as $15 million for delivering Fethullah Gulen to the Turkish government, according to people with knowledge of discussions Mr. Flynn had with Turkish representatives. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has pressed the U.S. to extradite him, views the cleric as a political enemy.“ Maybe because it’s early but all I’ve got is “ Are you fucking kidding me!!!” WSJ article

and this happened AFTER the election. (allegedly, of course- although I believe it probably DID happen.)
like the MSNBC host said, "can you imagine Condaleeza Rice doing something like that?!?" lol!
and the administration keeps wondering WHY they want to investigate their appointees and nominees... well, perhaps because they're all SHADY AS F#%K!!

The thing is that IF dt had not been elected, Flynn might have talked about it/pulled it off and we would have not known anything about it. We are truly learning about all kinds of things that the 'real swap elite' do when ever they want!

linkSt. Bernie wrote an op ed piece for Politico Magazine. From that piece... “First, it is absurd that the Democratic Party now gives over 700 superdelegates—almost one-third the number a presidential candidate needs to win the nomination—the power to control the nominating process and ignore the will of voters.” What St. Bernie is ignoring is the voters did have their say in that Hillary received 3 million more votes than St. Bernie did. No one stopped anyone from voting. All the potential voters had to do was check their state’s requirements to vote in the Democratic primaries. Some in CA whined that it was too confusing. As technologically challenged as I am, I went to CA online register to vote site and it took me all of 2 minutes to figure out what I needed to do as an independent to receive a Democratic ballot. IMO Bernie is just as toxic to the Democratic Party as trump/Tea Party is to the Republican Party. Sanders needs to go before he destroys the Democratic Party.

Does anyone else here follow Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on Facebook? She is always up to date on the happenings. The latest is that a bunch of Psychologists have written a letter to all members of Congress. Here is a piece of it if you aren't on FB. "Mr. Trump has far exceeded our usual threshold for detaining someone in order to evaluate for signs of danger. Just a few of these signs would be: verbal threats of violence, a history of sexual assault, incitement of violence, an attraction to violence and powerful weapons (the more powerful the weapons, the greater the temptation to use them), and the taunting of hostile nations with nuclear power. Traits that are highly associated with danger include: impulsivity, recklessness, paranoia (perceiving threats where they do not exist), loss of touch with reality (real consequences matter little), a lack of empathy (devastation to other people will not deter), feelings of worthlessness (for which violence can feel like a quick antidote), rage reactions, and a constant need to demonstrate power (a destructive war or use of weapons can counter an intolerable inner sense of weakness). These traits make one incapable of thinking rationally, and the usual deterrents, such as a nuclear holocaust or even the annihilation of humankind, will not likely deter someone who is preoccupied by internal needs."

LA Times...
“Brett J. Talley, President Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Assn.’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing “Hillary Rotten Clinton” and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn.
On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.”
This is how low the GOP has sunk. And yes they will be dragging the rest of the country down to their level.
Would those who keep telling us our complaints are just sour grapes because your side won like to come and defend this choice to approve this guy by the Republican controlled Senate Judiciary Committee?

As I posted during the primaries, Tony Schwartz said all this and more before Trump was elected. It didn't matter to his sheep then, I'm sure it won't now.
