We have survived 7 years, 11 months of Obama and his divisive politics. Guess we can survive Trump! Thank goodness for Term Limits!

I'm sure a 20 year IRS, FBI, CIA, etc. employee would take offense at being called 'uneducated inexperienced Newbies. If you are referring to those appointed by the Executive Branch to run the various agencies and serve as Ambassadors, those selected do NOT have to be 'professional' politicians and, in fact, it's a bit of a relief to move away from them. Just because the 'rest of the world' does something, doesn't mean it will work.  less

Good reason to enact Term Limits!

As I said, accommodation arrangements will be up to the foreign government. In most cases, a foreign diplomat/head of state stays at the Embassy, Embassy housing or, if in NYC, the Consulate. That will be up to that foreign government. None of this is a big deal!

Many parents opt not to move during the school year, even if it means one parent has to work in another city. No big deal.

The GSA awarded a 60 year LEASE for the Old Post Office and Clock Tower to a consortium headed by The Trump Organization. Unless the requirement for bids has changed, the various Hotels in DC that are interested in providing rooms for Government use must bid. That would include the Trump International Hotel Washington, DC. I will also note that in most cases, foreign governments make their own arrangements for their dignitaries accommodations when staying in DC or even NYC.   less

NO! Because Obama put them off limits back in early 2008 and the press complied. Has nothing to do with their race. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE! It is this type of comment that fuels the division in our country!

I'll note that the Obamas have been adamant that their girls stay out of the limelight and the press has complied. I'll also note that they are minors while Trumps 4 older children are adults who campaigned for their father. You are comparing apples and oranges and your obvious bias and hatred is showing.  

Why is the race card always being played? I'll note these are still minor children living with their parents. Who knows what the future will hold?

A nice change to see a 'functioning family' in these days. Obviously you aren't aware that this was very common in the 'old days' when families were closer and supported one another.

Maybe they have excellent executives who can handle things when they are away. That is a sign of leadership!

This was started, apparently, by the Clinton Broadcasting Station (CBS), even though Trump stated in the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday that the children would not hold any formal role in his administration.  Of course, that doesn't stop the anti-Trumpers from going off the deep end over this fabrication!

A search will show you his background. As for his children, they've probably got lots of experience in the business world and have shown themselves to be very knowledgeable. Trump shows he is willing to LISTEN to others and even take their advice. Something we've been lacking for the past 8 years!  

Let's not forget the "Rape Melania" signs the anti-Trump 'protestors' are carrying.  The Left can say Trump is a Hater, but we've seen much more HATE from the Left because they didn't get their way!

More BS from the Left and the "Clinton Broadcasting Station" (which apparently started it).

You seem to forget that Obama had to fill those jobs when he moved into the White House. He did it, as did every other President in the past, so I can see no problem with President Elect Trump and his team being able to do it.

Sadly, there are some claims being made that are fabricated. And I wonder how many of the swastika's were actually painted by Trump supporters and not paid Soros thugs. I personally feel a lot of this is because the 'snowflakes' and 'must have a trophy' crowd can't handle not winning. That is the fault of the liberal left's PC crowd!  

Still relevant today, though some feel that it is what they can get FROM the Government!

Sadly, Rosie, sarcasm doesn't show up well in a post, unless you add a note that you are being sarcastic.

But instead of Podesta appearing, she should have appeared to thank her supporters and send them home to get some sleep and to wait for the full results (which still aren't fully counted in 4 states).  

Draining the alligators out of that DC swamp.

For those who supported her and stood there for hours, and those staying up late, watching the results roll in, in my opinion it showed her contempt and disrespect for the average supporter. This is one of the reasons she lost.

I fear a Clinton victory much more than a Trump victory. As far as I'm concerned, if Hillary wins corruption within our Government will increase three-fold. She and the political elite are more interested in themselves than the citizens of this country!

Definitely a double standard. I don't even think the FBI looked at that --- they were scanning for classified info.

Those working in the State Department & WH that would have the ability to print out 'stuff' would have security clearance. I really doubt the maid had security clearance. Last I checked the duties of a secretary are NOT those of a maid.

Very likely. In fact, the latest "FBI leak" is that it may have been hacked by up to 5 foreign entities.

As for the US 'Government' saying it was the Russians, as the Clinton campaign alleges, remember this is the same government whose employees worked very hard to cover up Clinton's server, pay for play, and the IRS scandal. Funny how both Clinton's AND Lois Lerner's e-mails got scrubbed by low-level workers. Chris Wallace hit the nail on the head yesterday (Sunday)when he asked Robby Mook, "You know, the Trump tax returns were stolen as well when they were mailed to The New York Times. You guys didn’t object to that, in fact, you jumped all over them." It's okay for the Dems to use 'stolen' material, but not the Republicans. Continued double standard!  less

Does any voting district still use those punch card ballots? I hope not. If it's a 'tie' I suspect there will be 'recounts' and very possibly law suits. The biggest problem I see is that a number of voting districts have NO paper back-up of votes "electronically" cast. IF these suits end up before SCOTUS, and they are tied 4-4, would the lower court ruling stand? All I can say is I HOPE this doesn't happen as it will divide this country even more than it already has.  less

For me, it was meaningful. The saying that a VEEP is a heartbeat away from being president is truer today than it has ever been. After watching the debate, I found Pence to be much more Presidential than rude Kaine.
