Donald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...

I'm just chillin' and cycling the chanells to see what's up. Apparently the biggest story of the day is that there will soreheads not going to Trump's inauguration. Like Yogi says, if people don't want to come out to the ball park nobody can stop them.

I'd like a LSM story on the 3500 American soldiers now part of a NATO force in Poland. They must have missed that cause they're all misty-eyed aver the end of an error, er era.

How's that again? You go on record that you don't want Trump to be President, THEN you want him to hire you?

How in hell could anyone trust you?

Does anyone know how Donald is doing in the polls?

I hear it's still too close to call.

I thought it had generally been agreed to that polls are essentially worthless.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I had a conversation with a millennial left coaster this week. He sees Obama as "100 times the leader that Trump is". What worries me is that this this guy seems typical of his generation, where non-confrontation is seen as one of the highest goals. He specifically mentioned Trump's striking back when attacked as showing lack of leadership.

How could someone see Obama as a leader? Leading from behind all over the world? Bowing to every foreign leader? Devolving US influence worldwide?

It would be easy to write this guy off as fringe, but he seems right in line with so many on the left as well as so many in his generation.

There's going to be a Trump Derangement Syndrome on the left for the next 4 years which will be orders of magnitude crazier than Bush Derangement Syndrome was when GWB was President.

Inauguration day will be the beginning not the end of abject insanity.

I assume that the post by sigmonkey was an attempt at a little light-hearted sarcasm three days before the inauguration.

I have been looking at tea leaves and sheep entrails, though, and that leads me to predict that within the next year, many, many of President-Elect Trump’s supporters will be complaining about things he’s done or hasn’t done.

That’s why—lest I forget—I’m considering posting a notice next to my computer: “But Bill Clinton’s wife isn’t President!”

This was making the rounds last week. HiLIARly's potential cabinet. We dodged a major freaking bullet so big I don't care what Trump screws up. It will be minor compared to the busloads of leftie fascists that have rolled through Obasmo's admin and who would have continue to spike this nation if Hitlerly had ascended to the throne.

Obama screwing us to the very end.

I hope Trump tracks down the names of State Dept people who let this go through. They should be canned. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

With just three days left in office, the Obama administration has doubled an initial $500 million commitment to a fund that helps developing nations fight climate change and adapt to its consequences.

The incoming Trump administration and some Republicans oppose the program.

The State Department's announcement Tuesday brings U.S. contributions to the Green Climate Fund to $1 billion since 2016. The fund helps poor countries reduce carbon emissions by promoting clean energy and spurring private investment in the field.

"This administration has committed to this fund, in fact helped stand it up, establish it," State Department spokesman John Kirby said. "And it is entirely in keeping with the work that we've been doing across the interagency to try to look for ways to stem the effects of climate change, and this fund helps other economies, other countries develop their own initiatives and help them deal with this."

President-elect Donald Trump and a number of GOP lawmakers have complained that support for the fund wasn't specifically approved by Congress. The administration argues the current fiscal year's budget allows it to take the money from an unobligated portion of a total of $4.3 billion in economic support fund assistance. The previous $500 million installment was made in the same way.

The comet missed us.

Anyone (here) who does not understand the absolute sheer magnitude of biblical proportions of this once in our lifetime event, needs to go the the E.R.,or have a responsible next of kin call the coroner.

(for one hell of a run on sentence)

Or, maybe it's just from where I am standing.

This is stupid, but right out of the Barry playbook. Maybe DT should call these folks up after inauguration and let them know they won't be seeing another penny of US money for at least the next four years (and with luck, eight years).
