The best maple syrup comes from south of the border.

A glimmer of light
 
Rudy Giuliani won't have a cabinet position in this administration

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016...inet-post.html

I could not understand how he could even have been considered for SoS, but I am happy he is out.

This administration has written "conflict of interests" written all over it. It starts with the role of his daughter Ivanka, and ends with the third Golden Sacks manager appointed for the cabinet. Some other appointments are declarations of war against the according departments.

I expected something like this, but not that Trump would be shameless enough to appoint such names this openly. Maybe I should have known better. He must feel very secure.

The party will be short. The crash afterwards all the more harder. The hangover at the very end may even qualify for a world record.

But as you make your bed, so you must lie.

If you are in paper investments, you may want to switch from short-term profit-prospects to longterm protection considerations. What goes up steep, must come down even faster. Alchemy does not work, and physics still does not know about any perpetuum mobile.

Now he even makes his own - mind you: very powerful - intel services his enemy! :har: How retarded is this?!

Everybody hush-hush up the trees, rabid dog is on a biting frenzy!

And a Russian bed-fellow as foreign secretary. :haha:

I appreciate that the show already starts earlier than announced. I'm confident that we will get entertained to death. Americans in special - but us Europeans in general as well.

And this all is just the supporting film - wait until the main feature has started!:up: :D

Donald Trump is suppose to pick his SOS today ... I'm so happy that this rumor says it won't be Mr Romney :)

Quote:

Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, says the president-elecrt interviewed Mitt Romney for the secretary of State position just to "torture him" for his former criticism.
In an appearance on InfoWars Sunday, Stone said Trump had been toying with Romney.
"Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State in order to torture him," Stone said on InfoWars. "To toy with him. And given the history, that's completely understandable. Mitt Romney crossed a line. He didn't just oppose Trump, which is his democratic right, he called him a phony and a fraud. And a con man. And that's not the kind of man you want as Secretary of State."
Something is a little strange about this man though

Stone, a longtime political operative who has Richard Nixon's face tattooed on his back, left Trump's campaign last year and does not have a position on the transition.

ExxonMobil CEO Tillerson looks the most likely choice for SoS

Only four (4) more days left to post in the 2016 US Presidential election thread. It all comes down to this ... Electoral College voting day December 19th:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...b7Kz&ocid=iehp

Quote:

The Associated Press tried to reach all 538 electors and interviewed more than 330 of them, finding widespread Democratic aggravation with the electoral process but little expectation that the hustle of anti-Trump maneuvering can derail him. For that to happen, Republican-appointed electors would have to stage an unprecedented defection and Democrats would need to buck tradition, too, by peeling away from Hillary Clinton and swinging behind a consensus candidate in sufficient numbers.
Started June 15th = (6) months and 300 pages later :o

Now that we are getting closed to the second "election" I have noticed some of my friends have high hope that these electoral will - Forget about their obligation -and put their vote on Clinton instead.

As mentioned before I'm not a Trump or a Clinton fan, but I'm a supporters of what the people choose and if some of these electoral should forget what their job is and thereby give the White House to the candidate who came second. I see this as they have mocked the election and thereby the people who had put their vote on Trump

That's how I feel about it.

Trump will be the president Markus, we will get to see how Corporate America runs the country now. Can hardly wait!:haha:

Platapus 12-16-16 01:43 PM

I think the Electors should follow their respective state's laws.

The funny thing is, the people who are pushing for this give their reason as Clinton won the popular vote, so she is who the people really wanted and the Electoral College system is mocking the election. I don't agree, but some of those folks really believe that, so they think they are in the right.
