Let the back pedaling begin...

If Trump uses his congressional backing to accomplish things Obama or Clinton wanted--like infrastructure projects--his taking credit for it will piss me off, but at least it will be a step in the right direction.

As opposed to other horrific shit he may try.

To paraphrase McConnell before trump came in the picture. When questioned about congresses' non action on a lot of legislation, in particular, not moving forward on Obama's Supreme court nominee, McConnell said, sometimes not acting ( voting on legislation) is an action.

To each his own, but nice job if you can get it.

To paraphrase Bill Maher, Democrats have to learn to fight like Republicans. Tear ass, take names, and not worry about offending.

On Trump's proposal to impose term limits on Congress, McConnell said, "It will not be on the agenda in the Senate." McConnell has been a long-standing opponent of term limits, as NPR's Susan Davis reports. "I would say we have term limits now — they're called elections."

McConnell also threw some cold water on Trump's infrastructure plans, calling it not a top priority.

McConnell did say repealing Obamacare is a "pretty high item on our agenda" along with comprehensive tax reform and achieving border security "in whatever way is the most effective." But he also declined to discuss the Senate's immigration agenda further.

After Vowing Restraint On Twitter, Trump Continues Attacks On Media

vowed in an email to staff that the newspaper will cover Trump's administration "fairly" and "without bias" — which sounds an awful lot like normalizing his bigotry.



After Pledging To 'Drain The Swamp,' Trump Fills Transition Team With Special Interests

President-Elect Taps Top Donors, Prominent Lobbyists To Set Up Administration



After campaigning against the power of special interests in Washington, President-elect Donald Trump has stacked his transition team with corporate lobbyists and major donors to his campaign.

Four of the 16 members of an executive committee on Trump's transition team were top donors to his campaign, according to The Washington Post, and several prominent lobbyists will oversee the staffing of federal agencies in which their clients have a direct interest.

Moreover, Trump has scrapped ethics rules instituted by President Barack Obama in 2008 for his transition team. Those rules barred lobbyists from contributing money to the transition or overseeing fields of policy in which they had lobbied in the previous year.

In addition to top donors and lobbyists, Trump has appointed his three oldest children to his transition executive committee, even though they'll simultaneously be running his real estate empire through a "blind trust."

Peter Wehner, who served in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, told The New York Times that Trump "is failing the first test, and he should be held accountable for it.”

“This whole idea that he was an outsider and going to destroy the political establishment and drain the swamp were the lines of a con man, and guess what — he is being exposed as just that,” Wehner said.

Trump gave the finger to every American already when he said he could walk down Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose a vote. And guess what? He was right. At this point he can't "fail" at anything.

I can't wait until they figure out he doesn't give a damn about them beyond the useless toothless "Make America Great Again". Most will just be happy the muslim kenyan isn't in the White House anymore even as their economic prospects decline and Paul Ryan begins implementing his Ayn Rand plan for America. They have to be careful though the bills will have to have a nice Orwellian jingle to them to hide the true intent to reward the haves and screw the have-nots.

Let's not be too hard on Trump for back pedaling.

After all, in many instances, it's what we're counting on.​

Really, is this your first election or your first election on lpsg?

And Obamacare will become "trumpcare" the ACA with just few little tweaks the one that the Democrats have been wanting to do for 6 years now and the Republicans absolutley refused to do.

Trumps big thing since day one and the one Republicans go on and on about "selling insurance across state lines" here is news flash for them all, There is NOT now and never has been any federal law that precludes this. So as far as the Federal government is concerned it is already "allowed" it is 44 of 50 STATES that do not allow for this. What are Republicans the party that is always preaching about "states rights" and the 10th amenment going to do pass a law that says all states must allow for it?

BTW in the 6 states that allow for it now not a single insurance company has ever tried to "sell across those states lines"

When despite being told ahead of time it was coming and they brought it on themselves anyway YES

The wall has become a fence......His anti-establishment cabinet is shaping up to be anything but.....He's not going to go after the Clintons because they are "good people" 30,000,000 deportees is now "maybe 2 or 3".

So basically he said anything his people wanted to hear to get elected. Reports are coming out now that he didn't think he would get past the Oct.2015 primaries. I doubt he thought he would get the nomination and didn't think he would win. Now he actually has to do the job.....but if reports are true, only wants to live in the White House part time.

I wrote about that elsewhere, now that the con has blown up in his face he has to make the best of it. Instead of millions in "security upgrades" to Trump tower for the Penthouse and the floor his offices are on and moving out who ever is in the floor down from the penthouse so the secret service agents will "have someplace to stay" all on the tax payers dime of course and at exorbinate rental rates he can clear out who knows how many other floors to recreate the west wing and the OEOB and charges millions for that

Like the Brexit voters they now have instant regret. All the "smug liberals" said he couldn't do ANY of the things he said he would do. They will live in denial for a long long time as the truth comes knocking on their door daily. They will run to Fox and Breitbart for solace and well packaged lies. But one lie they won't be able to escape is the lie of more jobs and better income. Maybe they can convert their cars, trucks and homes to run on hate and intolerance, an endless supply.

The media makes me sad.

You're sad now? Wait 3-6 months as Trump's incompetence catches up with him. Or maybe the law over the scam Trump University. What a spectacle it will be in a few weeks. President elect Trump on trial.
