Isn't political correctness a thing that HIDES a truth??? Apparently, right wingers want us to WAIT to SEE if Trump was lying to us.. With anti-immigrant, build the wall, Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, WHY wouldn't we think that Trump is gonna deport 11 million people???? They elected him because he said he was gonna DO that. But, now we should wait to see if he was joshing... Well, I don't think he was joshing... You do??? I can't imagine WHY..excon less

Someone mentioned colleges and the education establishment as being rife with this terrible *disease*.. but in the same breath they accuse those who are liberal and or diversity as elitist.. I don't see how you can have it both ways.. My thinking is... protecting diversity and equality is actually it's a good thing! ANd it brings the opposite of elitism.. You bet we strongly encourage and support girls who want to study science and maths.. you bet we don't tolerate any racism... Why wouldnt we?? Why shopuld a girl be made to feel she cannot study physics because it's supposedly a boy's subject? Why should a black student be made to feel uncomfortable and victimised just because he happens to be black? IS he less deserving of education? Does his colour make him less intelligent? AND that old chestnut political correctness.. that gets a really bad rap doesnt ... less
Trump had the audacity to have a private dinner with his wife. Will he now ban the press from following him into the toilet? How disgraceful can one person be?

Will they defend the con and embrace the scammer and pretend it never happened as they have defended and embraced everything he has said or done? This will be VERRRY Interesting thing to see. How all the talk disappeared into thin air and left nothing there. Like magic.

Not this time. Not with this Pol. What you saw on the campaign trail is exactly what you will enjoy lots and lots and lots more of in the office of POTUS. It is very comforting to some and terrifying to others. Eye of the beholder is always in play hey hey hey. I would not wish what I behold on anyone.

Most folks would get out of the way. Some folks think they are powerful enough to stop them and perish trying. Who would be so foolish as to attempt that? Why?

They have no substantive method of justifying what PET does or says. How long are they gonna continue beating that dead horse I wonder? With Obama going and Hillary gone what is their Plan B? What ace do they have up their sleeves? What other charades will they engage in to try to convince themselves that PET and the next 4 years are gonna be just fine? No Hillary. No Barack. Now what? Maybe they will turn on one another more and more and weed out the weaker members. Survival of the fittest always works, doesn't it? What is there to lose? What could it hurt? less

They cannot justify anything PET says or does so they try to change the subject. It ain't working guys! You're not convincing anyone. You just look foolish.

They were an endangered species once upon a time and worked mostly underground, under rocks, wearing sheets. They were vilified/reviled/despised/rejected/ridiculed. But their white hero PET came charging in on a white steed and brought them back to life just before the death rattle began. Made them relevant, powerful, important. They will forever be in his debt. They will be running things side-by-side with their rescuer. Probably forever. I hear they breed like rabbits. They don't believe in birth control you see. Let the good times roll! less

Hallelulah the glory days done come! Praise the Lord! Free at last. Free at last. Thank God we are free at last! We shall overcome on that day of days and heaven will be thrust upon us the rest of our lives as long as PET survives, thrives and and is left alone to do his thang! :)

Undoubtedly funded by a consortium of obscenely wealthy sour-grapes Dems who have very deep pockets and very big hatred for him. After all the people spoke. Well, actually more people voted for Hillary than voted for him but through the luck of the Electoral College PET will be the Commander-in-Chief. Like water off a duck's back it rolls. Anyone who protests against him is a paid hack and not to be taken seriously. What's not to love about the guy? Those who despise him are simply jealous of his greatness. Who cares about them? less

Melania has business interests too that she has hawked on some Home Shopping Network show(s). Of course PET advertises his golf courses and hotels all the time. Why not use the bully pulpit that POTUS provides to hawk your products? I mean just because PET decided to take on the job of POTUS doesn't mean anything has to change. He is a businessman first and foremost. He keeps reminding us of that. I think Ivanka and Melania are business women first and foremost too otherwise they would think it unseemly to hawk their wares like ordinary sales people. You know how well thought of Used Car Salesman are, right? Highly. Well that would also accrue to the first family too. Any conflict of interest would be in the eye of the beholder. Fie on them! A pox on their houses. Why would anyone wanna be POTUS if he couldn't do whatever the he** he wanted ... less

He also will get off the hot seat and won't have to perform the duties of president which are many and varied and some of them are undoubtedly way beyond his comprehension/capabilities. He doesn't like to fail. Resigning/withdrawing isn't a sign of failure you see. It will be a choice he made freely and willingly for the good of his family and his businesses and his business ties and his business associates. He can go back to living the good life having dodged a huge bullet. Of course there would be much rage and fury directed at him by those who voted for him but he has tons of money to buy as many bodyguards as he needs. It would be a tax write-off if he ever were to pay any taxes. It might occur to him to save face before he gets egg on it. less

Just because Bannon is an anti-semitic/racist/bigoted/homophobic misogynist shouldn't preclude him from any job PET wants to give him, right? It's PET's call. I know the KKK, David Duke and all the hate groups approve wholeheartedly. I mean they have their rights too, right? This way America will be more honest about what it is and no longer have to pretend anything. That's a good thing isn't it? less

Christie was a New Jersey prosecuter then and it was due to him that Papa Kushner was paraded in front of the press and humiliated by having all the charges against him publicized. So here's my question. Why would PET pick Christie for anything? Didn't he know of his history vis a vis Papa Kushner? At one point Christie was even being mentioned as a possible VEEP. Serious error on the part of PET but didn't Jared point that out early on? The transition is not going smoothly. Bumpy roads and all. Will they get bumpier or smoother? Stay tuned. less
