Both disgusting excuses for human beings. <br /><br />But like you <i> <b> "...I'll wait for Trump's actions in office to condemn or praise him, likely both I hope [Expect?].

If he hadn't tried ...I'm swearing at Obama. If he hadn't tried to hand-pick and groom his successor by naming unqualified, stinky baggage Hillary Clinton to be his SoS, we wouldn't have Trump right now. Obama personally qualified her than publicly proclaimed her The Most Qualified Candidate Ever to Run for President, insulting GHW Bush. And he did Bernie absolutely no favors "in fairness" - my ass. <br /><br />Genius Barack was playing the long game of ten dimensional chess, pinning all his *Hope* on The Queen of Chaos, while Trump played the simpler game of electoral tiddlywinks. Politics isn't rocket science, no matter how many people make a lucrative living trying to make it so. <br /><br />Genius Obama used Hillary's personal server, emailing her using pseudonyms as we learned from Wikileaks. Was the server his bright idea? He does like his secrets and we know now that he didn't stop her from using it. Like so much in his admin, including spying on everyone, that was supposed to stay a secret - until a FOIA lawsuit busted it. <br /><br />It's still "the economy, stupid" but even worse. As Occupy helped show, it's even more of a RIGGED economy now, years after Carville boiled it all down to that. No matter how many times Obama told people that the economy is great and ladders of opportunity were waiting for their bootstraps, they didn't feel it and didn't believe it. They believed and got excited by the one(s) who dared admit it was rigged and needed a complete overhaul. <br /><br />"There is nothing so powerful as truth, and often nothing so strange" - Daniel Webster<br /><br />Obama once-upon-a-time hinted at the truth, but then threw his whole movement under the limousine. Occupy openly told the truth and Obama crushed it. Bernie told the truth and Obama belatedly acknowledged the obvious income inequality theme, but not too much lest he help Bernie and threaten the rigged system. Strangely enough, Trump captured it, put his brand on it by telling enough truths to get people excited, and rode the rigged system message to victory, likely because they had seen exactly how the system handled Bernie which Trump dared point out. "Nothing so strange" indeed. <br /><br />Why is it that Democrats so unable or unwilling to read the signs of the times, the zeitgeist? Because they're invested in the corruption just as the Republicans are. They don't want an overhaul either, but the people sure do. Trump took on the whole crooked establishment, at least in talk, but that's what campaigns are based on. Action comes later, or not. We saw from Obama's 8 years that they don't necessarily match. So I'll wait for Trump's actions in office to condemn or praise him, likely both I hope. Many people want him to shake things up, and I'm one of them. The people are definitely shook up. <br /><br />I'd bet anything Michelle warned genius Barack in no uncertain terms NOT to put Hillary in his administration. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas. Poor Michelle, the only one in D.C. who seems to have real integrity. And to think, she'll never be able to admit that publicly. I feel sorry for her, and us. <br /><br />Obama legacy, meet toilet.

On the one hand, Donald Trump...Let's see now--<br /><br />On the one hand, Donald Trump's foul mouth indicates that <i> "that at least he is way more honest than your average slimy politician speaking with glib forked tongue."</i> It may also indicate that he is more intelligent and has a better vocabulary than most:<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/09/27/swear-words-intelligence_n_12213206.html<br /><br />But on the other hand, <br /><br /><i> "his habitual use of foul language is also an indication of the "dark triad of personality traits" -- psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism." </i><br /><br />From this we <i> <b> might </b> </i> conclude that The Donald offers the best of all possible worlds,<br /><br /><i> "[Trump] is an honest, healthy and dangerous sonuvabitch all wrapped up into one package." </i><br /><br />But <i> <b> on the other hand, </b> </i> we might reach the same conclusion as Harry Truman, that the social "sciences," including economics, are just a load of so much questionable bull:<br /><br /><i> "“GIVE me a one-handed economist [or social scientist],” demanded a frustrated American president. “All my economists [or social scientists] say, ‘on the one hand...on the other'”.</i><br /><br />http://www.economist.com/node/2208841<br /><br />Just a thought...Zeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-51354490191643855962017-01-20T13:37:07.369-05:002017-01-20T13:37:07.369-05:00I sure hope nobody reads Harper's January 17 W...I sure hope nobody reads Harper's January 17 Weekly Review, which is so totally negative about our leader and not in the spirit of togetherness.<br />http://harpers.org/blog/weekly-review-cat/<br /><br />Here's a question that's sure to be on the test: How many interest groups did Senator Schumer stroke during his remarks preceding the swearing in?<br /><br />Another: True or False -- Paul Ryan also smiles like that through endodontistry?<br /><br />Finally, is there any chance of passing a constitutional amendment barring cardinals, ministers and rabbis from laying their prayers upon us at such events? Surely, Trump's twice-spoken "God Bless America" at the end of his speech would have sufficed to implicate God as a collaborator in the proceedings.<br />Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-67203184251383090152017-01-20T13:08:05.383-05:002017-01-20T13:08:05.383-05:00Jay,
I thought it was the best national socialism...Jay,<br /><br />I thought it was the best national socialism speech I have ever heard delivered by an American president. America First, raised fist, God Bless. Shades of Father Coughlin, and not a little George Wallace, what with all the "carnage" he is no longer gonna put up with in our inner cities!<br /><br />As I said in my post, Trump is a master at engendering mixed emotions. As scary as I found his speech (populist rhetoric with that awful anti-child billionaire Betsy DeVos sitting behind him with her death's head grin)I have to admit that I enjoyed his scathing takedown of Washington.

Today, is for celebrating, right? At least today let's think positively.<br /><br />Did I hear some Lincoln and Kennedy lines in that speech? Also, surprisingly, some lousy diction along with it. How about some jobs for able speech writers, Mr President? But wait, we've had eight years of eloquent double talk. I'll gladly trade that in for rougher talk that brings on real jobs with decent paychecks for millions of blue and white collars down the line. Looks like the populist side of Trump intends to fix up the infrastructure with American hands. Who doesn't want that? I'm with ya, Donny!Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.com
