^^^Translated...Yea, I know we're fucked. I voted for him, but unfortunately will now have to cover his ass for the next 4 years. What the fuck was I thinking? I wasn't.

You completely ignored bush's reset where ""I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country."
How'd that work out for him?
Bull, he is feeding the war mongers & has promised them what they want-MORE!!!
NOTHING HE SAID EVEN IMPLIED ANYTHING LIKE a push back............
IMO Dems are obstructing because too many of his picks have little or no experience in the areas they've been nominated and are spectacularly unfit for the jobs.
Hey, bravs - Hillary lost. You can't scream "Cliiinnton" anymore.
Trump made what was probably the most anti-American statement a U.S. President has EVER made. Deal w/ it.
Experience mattered a lot to conservatives when Obama was running. Even people here are still calling him "the community organizer" although he worked for a corporation, a research outfit, and as a lawyer, teacher and writer before he got into politics. So why doesn't it matter now if it mattered so much then?
trump picked Andy Puzder for Labor. The guy's a CEO whose goal is the profitability of his corporation, not the interests of the working stiffs. He's not supportive of minimum wage increases, he stiffed his employees on payroll, he paid employees with debit cards that carried ATM fees, and his company is being charged with stealing wages. And the icing on the cake... he employed an undocumented worker as housekeeper and didn't pay taxes for her.
trump picked Tom Price for HHS. Claims he's committed to ending Medicare fraud yet he belongs to an organization that opposes fraud investigations because they think honest doctors are targeted. He gets donations from a surgery center that colluded with anesthesiologists for kickbacks, an arrangement exposed by whistleblowers.
De Vos is just clueless and possibly plagiarized quotes for the Senate questionnaire.
trump nominated some pretty shaky people for these top jobs. Maybe that's the way they do business but it doesn't look good for those who are supposed to be in positions of public trust.
The thing is, Trump's administration is still in its infancy, and we're not going to know yet how his foreign relationships are going to affect us. His critics are perpetually crying about every little thing he says. In the interview with O'Reilly, I was reminded about what many in the media seek to get out of Trump... There always seems to be this baiting tactic to get Trump to say something bad about Putin or Russia and criticize him, almost for the sake of just seeing what kind of headlines they can later make out of it. I'm sick of the media trying to get our president to say something bad about another world leader who isn't a sworn enemy of the U.S. There's a lot our country doesn't like about Putin, but we can USE him to get something we want, and better position ourselves in the world, as long as we are always standing up for ourselves, and our own major self-interests first.
If, for example, Trump works in the same vain as FDR did with Stalin, and they collaborate on defeating a common enemy (ISIS), and weakening Iran, etc.... if we accomplish some of those goals, and if we are simultaneously strengthening our economy, then Trump can "puff up" more to Putin and seek concessions that would appease the main critics of Russia. But we have to wait and see. I think this is likely Trump's goal, and I'm not going to get worked up over every word. I didn't do that with Obama or any other president either. I wait and see the results before I go around claiming that our country's doomed.
I defy anyone to quote any Democrat that was openly partisan and antagonistic as the man who was (the day before Trump was elected) the highest ranking Republican elected official in the GOP.

Yikes - TD is already in full-blown, hyperdrive Trump apology mode. And just a few weeks in.
Gonna be a long 4 years for the Trumpeteers.

there was never any US/Russian partnership in Syria..After Russian air came in the closet was notification so as to "deconflict""IF we were actually smart, we'd work with Russia in a partnership to get rid of ISIS"
That's what Obama had been doing.
Russia was late to DIRECT military involvement in Syria. But for a lot of the time Russia was there, but Russia and the U.S. were joint enemies of ISIL. Has Trump befriended ISIL in Syria since then?
