Trump voters were asked to identify their primary motivation in pulling the lever for him
The large majority of respondents chose one of three answers, distributed roughly evenly:
- Improving the economy,
- focusing on America's interests ahead of other nations', and
- defeating Hillary Clinton.
Just one percent said they backed Trump in furtherance of "traditional Republican policies."

That can't be right, I've been told that the only reason people voted for Trump was because of Russkie hackers!

Yep. Put the final Cubs/Indians game to shame. Even with the rain delay.

Official Presidential Inauguration website goes live
The official website for President-elect Trump's inauguration was launched Tuesday, a long with what the committee for the inauguration calls a full slate of social media platforms.
“Today, the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee officially launches our full online presence,” said Boris Epshteyn, the director of communications. "An overwhelming amount of Americans have already joined us on Twitter, and now our website and other social media outlets will provide broader opportunities to participate in this historic event. We are hard at work producing the most engaging and innovative inauguration yet, and our growing digital presence will provide every American with a front row seat to this exciting and unifying day.”
The website, with information on scheduling, ticketing and the events of the day can be found at

I saw this on "The People's Cube" today and it made me laugh out loud...
As electoral college voters met Monday, many went rogue — but not from President-elect Donald Trump as was expected. Several “faithless electors” who cast their presidential ballots Monday for someone other than Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton did so in support of Clinton’s Democratic primary challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
We don't envy these "faithless electors" for their fate is terrible. If the phrase "you have failed me for the last time" doesn't ring the bell, watch this video taken at the Clinton's campaign headquarters shortly before the election. The transcript is below.
Huma Abedin: What of the Rebellion? If the Deplorables have obtained a complete technical reading of this campaign, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.
Hillary Clinton: The emails you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
John Podesta: Any attack made by the Deplorables against this campaign would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This campaign is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
Hillary Clinton: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
John Podesta: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Madam Secretary. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen emails, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Deplorables' hidden sourc...
[Hillary makes a pinching motion and Podesta starts choking]
Hillary Clinton: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
As we now know, the Deplorables did find the weak spot and destroyed the Clinton's Death Star. With more Imperial Democrats beginning to blame Hillary for their historic losses, how soon will it be before she tells them, "you have failed me for the last time"?

It has been reported that the Trump Inauguration Committee is having problems lining up celebrity acts for entertainment--apparently they are receiving overt promises that their careers will tank if they show up for Trump.
Doesn't really bother me--the important work at the Inauguration takes about 5 minutes; the rest is just "bread and circuses".
