“On New Year’s Eve President-elect Trump actually called some fellow Americans his ‘enemies’. Really sad and troubling.”
BEST snarky replies:
“I know!! And everybody’s been so nice to him!”
“I missed it. Did he call them ‘bitter clingers’ or ‘deplorables’?”
Other tweeters asked, “Were you as troubled when Pres Obama called fellow Americans his ‘enemies’ and asked his supporters to help him punish them?” and reminded him about that time Hillary Clinton bragged that she was actually PROUD of her enemies list.
[CtH: This would be so awesome. Rememer how pissed Barry got when Boehner invited Bibi to speak to Congress?! ::snork::]
“There’s a plan for Trump to meet with Netanyahu,” the source said. “They’re talking all the time. And Netanyahu is talking about possibly going to the inauguration.”
Netanyahu congratulated Trump on his victory a day after the presidential election, and Trump had invited the Israeli leader to meet in the US at his “first opportunity.”
Oh My. Don Lemon Suffers Drunken Meltdown on New Year’s Eve
And I may be open to a relationship this year. I wasn’t before… Actually I’m going to be available to being in a relationship. I’m a bad person to date. I’m not going to be as self-centered… I do what I want because it’s my life.

LEMON WASN’T THE ONLY ONE
Mariah Carey closes 2016 with disastrous NYE performance Carey had been assigned to perform two of her hit songs, “Emotions” and “We Belong Together.” But the singer appeared unable to hear her own song track, ultimately giving up and standing on the stage with closed mouth and a hand on her hip.
THESE ARE THE POSERS WHO REFUSE TO PERFORM AT TRUMP’S INAUGURATION. TOO BAD.
HuffPo Editor Slams Obama: He Presided Over The “Destruction Of The Democratic Party”
Trump reportedly asked Harry Hurt III, who wrote “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump” in 1993, to leave after Hurt offered Trump congratulations on his presidential victory.
The book sparked a feud between the two, as it included Ivana Trump’s accusations that Trump had raped her, an allegation Trump has repeatedly denied.
WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT TRUMP IS THAT HE DOESN’T TRY TO SHOW LIBERALS WHAT A NICE GUY HE IS; SHAKE HANDS, TAKE A FEW PICTURES. HE’S MORE LIKE: F*CK YOU … GET OFF MY GOLF COURSE.
Donald Trump Impromptu New Years Eve Press Conference 12/31/16
TRUMP DOESN’T CARE ABOUT FOCUS GROUPS OR POLL TESTING
Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out With his recent hissy fit over the supposed Russian interference in our November elections, the knifing in the back of Israel, our closest and most reliable ally in the Middle East, and an unprecedented land grab in the western United States – interestingly a region where Barack Obama has very little voter approval anymore – Barack Obama has shown that he intends not to bow out gracefully as an adult. And that doing what’s best for the country by promising for a smooth transition into the new administration apparently was nothing more than politically expedient lip service at best.

Epshteyn said the participants represent “the truly best of America.” He noted they include representatives from the New York police department, as well as the military.
JUST THINK … NO SONGS ABOUT B*TCHES AND HO’S AND DOPE AND PIMPIN’
YOU KNOW, ALL THE ‘CUTTING EDGE’ STUFF ‘A’-LISTERS REGALE THEMSELVES WITH.
As the year comes to an end, we’ve put together a list of the 10 most memorable lines from the historic 2016 Presidential campaign.
2016 is a year we will never forget.
10. No one handles protesters like Donald Trump. Where other Republicans would be stunned or left speechless Donald Trump makes lemonade from lemons and has the crowd roaring in laughter.
At one rally this year a leftist protester started screaming during Trump’s speech. Trump stopped his speech and said this:
“Hillary, is that you?”
9. Donald Trump frequently spoke about Hillary Clinton’s lack of energy. In a Florida speech he commented about Hillary’s Health.
[Hillary] gives a 10 minute speech and then “Go[es] back home and go[es] to sleep”.
8. A tradition during the Presidential race is to have both candidates in New York at a Catholic dinner and fund raiser. During this year’s event, Donald Trump presented some of the most awkward jokes in the event’s history in grilling Hillary Clinton. Trump said,
“Hillary is so corrupt…”
and it went downhill from there. The crowd’s reaction was priceless. A sample of these follow:
7. During a Republican debate, Governor Jeb Bush was falling in the polls and Donald Trump let him have it, saying he was “real tough” and adding:
“You know you started off next to me Jeb and you’re moving further and further down the stage. Pretty soon you’re going to be off the stage, Jeb.”
It was soon over for Bush.
6. We threw this video of Hillary in for good measure. What an awful candidate. With only a few months before the election, Hillary Clinton posed a question in a video conference call with supporters, “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead, you might ask?” At this exact moment it became clear why she was not 50 points ahead and why she was going to lose – along with being a criminal, she was officially off the charts crazy.
5. At one of the final Republican debates Trump had enough of Senators Rubio and Cruz and said,
“First of all, this guy’s a choke artist and this guy’s a liar.”
4. During a Presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, Clinton bumbled about Republican Abraham Lincoln being two faced and Donald Trump took her to task,
“Now she’s blaming the lie on the late, great Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe, never lied. And that’s the big difference between Abraham Lincoln and you.”
. Another moment during one of the final Republican debates, Trump encouraged Senators Cruz and Rubio to,
“I know you’re embarrassed. I know you’re embarrassed. But keep fighting. Keep swining. Swing for the fences, boys!”
2. When Trump was pressed in a Republican debate about a former Mexican President saying that he would not pay for that fxxxing wall, Trump responded with,
“the wall just got 10 feet taller!”
1. During the second presidential debate in St Louis, Donald Trump gave the best comeback to Hillary Clinton in Presidential debate history, when she said it was awfully good that Mr. Trump was not in charge of the law in our country –
Everybody does their year-in-review thing, famous deaths, most successful, most annoying, etc. To be truthful, there hasn’t been a year like this in quite some time. The last 8 years have left us drained of any optimism for the future, just more suffering under the Obama reign of terror. A new door will open in a few short days. We will finally have a strong, competent leader who wants to return this country to its past glory rather than punish success and spread suffering among all but the violent and the lazy. We will have some time now to listen to the cries of frustration and lamentation of those who have been giving us short shrift for just about as long as I can remember.
Oh, and the Cubs are World Champions, lest we forget.
Obama’s full-blown, year-end temper tantrum Obama is having an extremely difficult time dealing with what may be his first-ever serious setback. This is a man described by his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, as “just too talented to do what ordinary people do.” More flattering, Jarrett noted that “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. …” He is so smart, said Jarrett, that “he’s been bored to death his whole life.”

— Host Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time, September 30.

Three more weeks. Three more gut-wrenching, agonizing weeks of putting up the sorry excuse for a human that’s been defecating on the nation for the last eight years. You can bet he’ll raise as much hell as possible until the last minute of the last day. Yesterday he unilaterally (and likely illegally) expelled 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for interfering with Hillary’s ascent to the throne. That he has absolutely no proof is of no import, he’s never needed it. He has also imposed sanctions on the Russians, although Putin is laughing him off as a joke who’ll be gone soon.
He’s doing what he can to poison international relations ahead of Trump’s attempts to enlist the Russkies as an ally to combat terrorism. Paul Ryan, McConnell, McCain, and Graham, quislings all, are screaming for even harsher sanctions against the the godless commies. My personal opinion is that Putin only respects people of strength, which he’s always known Obama not to be. That’s why he’s flexed his muscle throughout Eastern Europe. Considering Russia is a third world country with a first world military he may recognize PEOTUS is not someone to trifle with. Just a guess on my part.
Nearing exit, Obama seeks to tie Trump’s hands President Obama has taken a flurry of unilateral actions in the waning days of his tenure that appear designed to box in President-elect Donald Trump.
Obama’s decision Thursday to sanction Russian entities for election-related hacking is just the latest obstacle he has placed in Trump’s way.
Day before the sanctions were unveiled, the Obama administration allowed the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlement activity – something that could have an indelible impact on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Obama has also permanently banned oil and gas drilling large swaths of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, closed off 1.6 million acres of Western land to development and scrapped the last vestiges of a registration system used largely on Muslim immigrants.
DC private schools giving Kellyanne Conway the brush-off Kellyanne Conway is worried establishment elites in Washington, DC, are so prejudiced against President-elect Donald Trump that she won’t be able to get her kids into private school in the nation’s capital.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A NAME LIKE ‘POO?’ Obama dines at Nobu as latest Hawaii vacation pushes cost of first family’s travel past $96 million
President Barack Obama dined out with his family and friends at hip Honolulu Asian fusion restaurant Nobu on Wednesday night
Obama received a round of applause from other guests as he walked through the restaurant, a video posted to Instagram shows
The first family has been in Hawaii for nearly two weeks – they’re parked there until after the New Year holiday
A report published this afternoon puts the price tag of their travel over the last eight years at $96 million; report includes travel White House says was official
The Obamas pay for their food and lodging out of pocket when they’re on personal travel but the government picks up tap for flights and security
President-elect Donald Trump’s family trip to Florida for Thanksgiving cost taxpayers $7 million; he’s there now with his family, too
The city of New York is fuming about security costs to protect Trump Tower – they want the federal government to pick up the tab of $35 million
THE AVERAGE PRICE OF A MEAL AT NOBU IS $180/PER PERSON PLEASE GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR LIVES AND GO AWAY!!!! Democrats Have Legalized Child Prostitution In CA, Starting Jan. 1 SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution.
Painting of Ferguson, Showing Cops as Pigs And Mike Brown On Cross, Hung Proudly in US Capitol I APOLOGIZE IF THIS OFFENDS… IT’S WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH SINCE THEY HAVE OBAMA’S TACIT APPROVAL
The untitled artwork, which supposedly symbolizes the unrest that followed the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, was selected as part of the annual Congressional Art Competition. It currently hangs in a tunnel between the U.S. Capitol building and Longworth House Office Building.
HuffPo Editor Slams Obama: He Presided Over The “Destruction Of The Democratic Party”
THE TEARS YOU SHED MAY TASTE BITTER TO YOU, BUT THEY ARE AS NECTAR FROM THE GODS TO ME.
All of your favorites are here, as chronicled by Breitbart Newsover the past year; there’s Cher complaining about the divisiveness of the country while simultaneously calling Trump a “f*cking idiot;” Rosie O’Donnell unloading on the “orange motherf*cker” during the third presidential debate; Elizabeth Banks and Moby swearing like sailors in a last-ditch Funny or Die voter drive; Don Cheadle urging Trump to “die in a grease fire.”
1.. Lena Dunham grieves for Hillary Clinton after the election.
2. Cher The “Believe” singer — who hosted a fundraiser for Clinton in August — compared Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler (as did countless other celebrities, more on that below) and called him a “f*cking idiot.” She also made it a habit to use a toilet emoji whenever writing Trump’s name on Twitter.
3. Michael Moore
The left-wing documentary filmmaker released a surprise anti-Trump film, Michael Moore in TrumpLand, just weeks before Election Day, hoping to persuade Americans to pull the lever for Clinton.
4. Robert De Niro “I mean, he’s so blatantly stupid,” De Niro said in the clip. “He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bullsh*t artist, a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care, thinks he’s gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes
5. Jennifer Lawrence “So I had my full security, I was like, ‘Find Donald Trump,’” Lawrence told Norton. “Because I was adamant on finding him and then making a video of me going, ‘Hey Trump, f*ck you!‘”
6.. George Clooney
7. Martin Sheen, Debra Messing and more urge electors to vote against Trump
8. Rosie O’Donnell O’Donnell and Trump have feuded publicly for years, but the hysteria level was kicked up a notch during the third presidential debate when O’Donnell went on a Twitter tear, calling him an “orange motherf*ker” and a “delusional turd.”
9. Late-night TV hosts (Colbert, Maher, Bee, Meyers etc.)
10. Elizabeth Banks, Moby, Rachel Bloom: “Jesus f*cking Christ, please vote.” “Donald Trump is human syphilis and we can be the antidote/So holy f*cking sh*t, you’ve got to vote,” the celebrities sang over a pretty, piano-based melody.
11. Don Cheadle In August, the Oscar-nominated actor unleashed a series of tweets against Trump, urging the then-candidate to “die in a grease fire” and suggesting that people of Trump’s “ilk” are responsible for violent conditions in Chicago.
12. Miley Cyrus During the campaign, Cyrus complained that Trump would not stop saying “stupid ass sexist sh*t,” and later told her nearly 60 million Instagram followers to kiss her “ashtanga ass” if they weren’t voting for Clinton. Bryan Cranston, Barbra Streisand, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Jon Stewart, Chelsea Handler, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg and George Lopez all said they would move to various places outside the United States if Trump won, with the most popular proposed destination being Canada.
Of course after Trump won, some, including Schumer and Dunham, promptly copped out on their promises. Schumer said her vow to move to Spain earlier this year was a joke.
14. Celebrities compare Trump to Adolf Hitler. Among those to make the comparison: Cher, John Legend, Spike Lee, Bill Maher, Louis C.K., Roger Waters, Whoopi Goldberg, Eva Longoria, Sarah Silverman, Billie Joe Armstrong, Maynard James Keenan, Russell Simmons, Ken Burns, and some cast members of Saturday Night Live. Silverman at least went all the way with the comparison, dressing as Hitler for an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s show.
15. Wanda Sykes “I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president. He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one,” Sykes said during her set at the Neely Foundation’s annual Comics Come Home fundraiser in Boston’s TD Garden.
16. Roger Waters As the musician sang classics from his Pink Floyd days, images of Trump in a KKK hood, performing a Nazi salute and holding a sex toy like a rifle flashed on the massive LED screen behind him. The show also featured a giant inflatable pig soaring over the crowd with the phrase, “F*ck Trump and his wall” printed on it.
17. Lady Gaga In the early morning hours after the votes came in, Gaga hopped on a sanitation truck outside Trump Tower in Manhattan to stage a micro-protest over the results and posted a photograph to Twitter.
19. Madonna The pop icon made a last-ditch effort in October to bolster votes for Hillary Clinton by offering to perform oral sex on anyone who voted for the Democratic candidate.
20. Sarah Silverman “For a lot of people, this is the Great Depression, but this time it’s emotional & physical,” she wrote. “Our bodies r breaking down w fear & rage.”
Surfing the interwebs yesterday I came across a site that had Wisconsin fishing guides listed. There were several quite close to where I live who guide on the many lakes and rivers of Southeast Wisconsin. I’m considering several trips with RJ and my longtime fishing buddy. He has a boat, but the idea is to have a guide take you on a body of water you’re not familiar with, then you can go back on your own and have an idea where some good spots are. Lake Delavan is over 2,000 acres and Lake Geneva is over 5,000. That’s a lot of water to cover when you only have a short time. I contacted one guide through his Facebook page who is a Marine veteran and is also an EMT and has two other men who guide with him. He started fishing with his grandfather so he understands why I want to make some memories with RJ that he can share with his sons when I’m gone. It will only be about 4 agonizing months before ice out up North. I guess I’ll just have to wait until then.
Parting Regrets from the Loser’s Presidency MY FRIEND WILLIE INSISTED OBAMA GOT WHERE HE IS COMPLETELY THROUGH HIS OWN HARD WORK. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT’S CALLED POLITICAL IDOLATRY.
It is not certain that Barack Obama is the first president with African progenitors on adjacent branches of the ancestral tree. It is absolutely certain that he is the first president in American history who shot to the presidency on the rocket of race-based preferentialism. Mr. Obama became commander-in-chief without ever evidencing knowledge or even respect for the U.S. military because throughout his education and career, he enjoyed astronomical preferences above his peers, even above more qualified competitors, due not to his achievements, but to his bronzish mug. He in turn chose his wife and his attorneys general from his cohort beneficiaries of the peculiar institutions of affirmative action, the racialist hypersensitivity and preferencing that arose in the 1960s.
Clinton Lackey David Brock Caught ‘Money Laundering’ David Brock is everything normal people hate about politics. He’s a shady, shameless shill for Hillary Clinton who has made a fortune in the “political operative” industry by doing political operative-y things that contribute nothing of value to society. He’s also (allegedly) a paranoid coke fiend who travels with an armed security detail because he’s afraid snipers are going to get him.
Powerful labor union plans massive budget cuts in wake of Donald Trump victory According to Henry, the cuts are a direct result of Mr. Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November’s election, along with the GOP’s continued control of Congress. With Mr. Trump and his Senate Republican allies poised to nominate dozens of judges, including a new Supreme Court justice, the SEIU fears its ability to collect dues from members will soon be significantly curtailed.
[CtH: Excellent news! The SEIU has been forcing workers to cough up dues that they use to promote Democrat politicians, despite workers who are opposed to said politicians.]
Someone else walked into the office of an organization advocating for immigrant rights and handed over a bag of cash he had just collected from members of his local community civics group.
[CtH: I remember hearing that pro-life organizations experienced similar surges in giving following the election of Clinton and Obama.]
The court provides a new opening to Trump and his attorney general designate, Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions. A congressional vote confirming Sessions could occur as early as Jan. 10, but Senate Democrats indicated they will put up a stiff fight to defeat the nomination
Shattuck: Ego-driven fantasy another bogey for Obama We’ve had eight years of “fake news” distorting the culture so much that overt, critical speech about this president became a dangerous and daunting prospect to everyday Americans. So they voted against him and his programs in a more roundabout fashion.
They are afraid to tamper with the legacy of the man himself but are more than comfortable chucking everything he stands for into the political dumpster.
Lame duck Obama has deliberately created a diplomatic crisis with our close ally, Israel, just weeks before he’s shown the door. Hopefully, these disgraceful acts will result in the end of the ‘2 State Peace Process’ and a defunding of the U.N.
Obama also blamed Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the NRA for distracting the country from his message of “hope and change”, particularly during the holiday season. Obama defended the robbers and hosted Black Lives Matter in the White House.
Obama will be missed when he leaves the White House…by the criminals and thugs.
For the rest of America – January 20th cannot get here soon enough.
And liberals are giddy. Because they still don’t get it.
As liberals continue to draw cultural lines that leave conservatives out, they have to notice that it’s translating to ballot-box losses. Republicans don’t just control the presidency, the House, and the Senate, but nearly two-thirds of statehouses and a majority of governorships.
The all-encompassing liberalism in popular culture might not be hurting the performers’ financial bottom lines (so far), but it’s certainly not doing anything to help their political causes, either. As we learned this election, we ignore whole segments of the population at our peril.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE LAKES WE PLAN TO FISH COME SPRING
Oldest daughter and her family came over to celebrate Christmas with us. My dear grandson and fishing buddy RJ walked through the door and I said: ‘Oh,hell,no!’ I hadn’t seen him since we went fishing back in September. He’s grown about 2″ and is now almost 5’11” and wears a size 12 shoe. He’s 13, and won’t be 14 until August. His dad’s whole family, including the women, are all very tall. I plan to hire a fishing guide in the spring to take us out on a lake in Southeast Wisconsin (there are a number of good ones) and I showed him some of their websites. We plan to fish for panfish like crappies and bluegills, since they are school fish and you can catch a lot of them if they’re biting. He doesn’t care as long as he’s with his grandpa. His stepdad hasn’t fished since he was a kid and one guide has a 21ft bass boat that can seat 4. The guide supplies all the tackle and the bait and will clean and fillet your catch. It might be fun to take my son-in-law along, just for fun.
Now for the serious stuff: Obama insists Trump win no indicator Democrats’ vision for U.S. is ‘a fantasy’
‘It feels like the band is breaking up a little bit’
President Obama is “confident” that he would have defeated Republican Donald Trump in a head-to-head match-up in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
“I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” Mr. Obama said, CNN reported Monday. “I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country, even some people who disagreed with me, they would say the vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one.”
[CtH: Since when has this self-absorbed narcissist EVER talked to anyone who disagreed with him?]
Clinton suggests she will continue to speak out REMEMBER ME? I GOT 2 MILLION MORE VOTES BUT LOST ANYWAY. I SHOULD BE THE PRESIDENT!
Hillary Clinton hinted in a thank-you message to supporters on Monday that she will stay politically active next year.
“I believe it is our responsibility to keep doing our part to build a better, stronger, fairer future for our country and the world,” Clinton wrote.
“I look forward to staying in touch in 2017. Onward!” she added, according to The Hill.
[CtH: Have you ever noticed how the only buttinski ex-POTUSes (and POTUS wannabes) are Democrats?]
Trump: UN ‘just a club for people to get together, talk’ Israel’s ambassador to the United States told CNN on Monday that the country has “evidence” that the Obama administration colluded with the Security Council to pass the resolution. He said officials plan to share the evidence with the president-elect.
THIS IS THE 16 YEAR OLD WHO WILL SING AT TRUMP’S INAUGURATION. SHE AND THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR ARE THE ONLY MUSIC CONFIRMED SO FAR. THE HOLLYWOOD GLITTERATI ARE ALL ACTING LIKE THE PETULANT ASSHATS THAT THEY ARE.
Jackie Evancho Album Sales Skyrocket After Announcing Inauguration Performance REAL PATRIOTS SUPPORT AMERICAN IDEALS
Evancho’s 2011 “Dream With Me” album and her 2010 “O Holy Night” offering are both sitting at No. 2 on the Billboard charts.
The former America’s Got Talent star’s weekly album sales have quadrupled, according to TMZ. Evancho said she’s “excited” to sing at the prestigious event.
[CtH: This really reminds of the McCain-Obama debate where McCain talked about the Soldier whose bracelet he wore and Obama goes, “I have a bracelet too!” Except Obama couldn’t remember the name of the Soldier. And it came out later that the Soldier’s parents had told him not to wear it. So Trump makes innovative use of the internet, so Obama has to claim, “I did it too!” I knew kids like this in school. They were pathetic.]
Supreme Court Freakout at the New York Times The New York Times was once known as The Grey Lady. Today, a more apt moniker would be The Hysterical Bag Lady. The Times editorial board is home to the most immoderate, shrieking Leftism you will find this side of the Nation.
On Christmas Eve, the Times editorialized on The Stolen Supreme Court Seat. It is a classic of the post-Trump-election freakout genre:
Soon after his inauguration next month, President-elect Donald Trump will nominate someone to the Supreme Court, which has been hamstrung by a vacancy since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February.
GOV. MOONBEAM MAY FIND OUT WHAT IT’S LIKE TO GET INTO A PISSING CONTEST WITH SOMEBODY WHO WON’T PLAY HIS IDIOTIC GAME.
Democratic states now vow to challenge a GOP-ruled Washington on environmental issuesBy contrast, states with Democratic leadership — such as California, where Gov. Jerry Brown has promised all-out war against Mr. Trump on global warming — will go from being environmental partners with the federal government to legal aggressors on their own.
Republicans have begun exercising their influence over the incoming president and his pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who has built a political career by battling the very agency he is about to lead.
TEMPER, TEMPER, YOU REPULSIVE HAG… GET USED TO BEING AN IRRELEVANT JOKE FOR A SPELL.
“No, absolutely. I do not agree. I tell you that been a problem in my party that when we are in power, we are nice. We bend over backwards to work with people,” Waters said. “Trump has stepped on everybody. He has no respect for his own colleagues, let alone those on the opposite side of the aisle.” [CtH: Bold – What A Steaming Load Of Donkey Doo!]
Trump nixes pet projects of liberal and conservative elites Not all the consequences are clear. But one thing seems true: the election of President-elect Trump has put the kibosh on two projects long pursued by American elites, the entitlement reform sought by conservative elites and the measures to address climate change sought by liberal elites.
He didn’t have much elite support in his campaign for president, and he has made it plain he’s opposed to significant changes in entitlements and doesn’t see future global warming as justifying measures that kill jobs and choke off economic growth.
[CtH: Who are they kidding? Islamic countries won’t take in Muslim refugees!]
