    It truly amazing that Trump has shattered the Democratic Party. It was supposed to be the other way around.

    My choice at the polls was neither for either of the lead candidates, I was primarily there for congress and local elections. I will admit though when Trump ended up as the winner I laughed so hard I cried. Hillary Hogg and her cronies probably thought this election would be a shoe in, not to be. Billy and Hilly need to pack their bags and crawl off into a hole, close mouth and maintain a low profile. To these supporting the losing side, nice job by the liberals and all with dung filled diapers showing the intelligence to tear and burn because your person lost. That type of behavior was pre labeled to Trump supporters had Trump lost. Looks like the worm turned. I do feel that Trump will select a good cadre to help run his administration. I do wish the man success, maybe this country needed a knee jerk election like this to wake up the "business as usual" politicians up in DC. Saw his list of potential selections and their are some good choices in there. Pence as Veep, and Prebus as Chief of Staff were good moves. Pulling for Guliani to get in there as well.

    Bannon as Chief strategist. Sr Counsel is the first bonehead move....going with loyalty over reality. If we're playing WH You're Fired edition. He'll go first.

    Lindsey Graham advocating Ted Cruz to be nominated to SC. There was talk thst Sen Mike Lee was on a short list, and my guess is that the other senators would rather get rid of Ted. Lol!

    What looked like a smooth transition b/t two men one a POTUS, the other "Elect"; tried to show the fkd up world, America can peacefully co-exist b/t ideologies/parties; but obviously not.

    these rioting libtards look no different than some Arab Spring riots; to those watching overseas???? Just consider the source(s) of Kankle supporter's. One who has more than dishonored American values, principles, et al, makes sense as too their lack of patriotic Why would anyone in their right mind wish such upon any one; because they aren't in their right minds, they have left minds....

    then we have the Teflon Don, his supporter's not much better, when it comes to stirring up shit.

    ...^^^

    Couldn't of said it better Michael, kudos...~!~

    Guliani: U.S. District Attorney....? Why not?

    Lt. General Ronald Marcotte: Secretary of State; or- Secretary of Defense. Would have to pry him away from Boeing first.

    Nothing like having a Sec. of State, who was the Air Commander of LRCA during Desert Storm, as well as the Wing Commander of the B2 Fleet; latter on. Wonder how Iranian Nuke Meeting's would go across, when a known War Hawk comes to pay a visit....

    Bolton for SecState makes a lot more sense. Accomplished diplomat, likes tough talk (like trump), and leans America first (more isolationist than interventionist) excluding the bomb terrorists mercilessly aspect.

    As much as most senators would like that they have to be careful who and how that spot is filled as the seats are close in the senate now and they would not want to lose a seat to a democrat. Why a don't see a senator in the cabinet.

    Jack Hannah as Secretary of Interior; or anyone other than another businessman. Will Melania think this job is her's or an interior decorator?

    Govenor Moonbeam, Secretary of Interstellar and Extraterrestrial Communications.


    Nationalize- “Waste Mgmt”, as an outsourced entity, to run “Dept. of Housing and Urban Development”; in lieu of having redundant agencies, and a needless Secretary. Otherwise hire Haliburton as normal, and run land movers for the next four years. Relocate migrants, and UN-desirables to Haiti; let the Clinton Foundation figure out a way to pay for NAFTA's excesses. aka- charge TCF to fix the fck up billybob created.

    Kaku for Secretary of Education.

    General Petraeus for Veteran's Affairs. Which kind of Vet Affairs are we talking????

    Rudy is being bantered around for several positions, incl one he doesn't want, ie Dept of Homeland Sec. Anyone think Rudy could pass before Congress as a Supreme Court Justice??? Just curious??

    They did for CA state govt and things actually got much worse. You still end up with an elite class of professional politicians, they just collude more to divy up the job openings.

    yup....once a pol terms out, they trade places with another pol and if a seat isn't open they get appointed to some other govt role and then move back to their original post. its a revolving door of DEM corruption at its finest.

    ...lol...the Dems certainly don't have the market cornered on corruption.

    ...corruption follows power, always has, always will... and right now the GOP has the power.

    They do in CA such that party in control is a mortal lock. Look you can play all the moral equivalence word games you'd like, but the facts are what they are in CA. This was a red state, and it's a 30 yr road map for single party rule. There is a point of no return because the other option is "too big to fail".

    Term limits have to be independent of specific office, ie year of govt service, or very specific to each office.

    We have 2 4yr terms for President
    Want to you want for Senate? 2x6?
    House? 4x2 or more?
    SC? 2 x 8yr terms?

    The implications on SC takes on score settling....would prefer age limit vs term limit. Say rather than 3x8yr terms...min age of 50 and max of 75.
