I can't wait.

       I can!   But in the meantime, I'll pop some popcorn, wait for the show, & pray we all don't get burned by his administration. 

       BTW, if he IS stupid enough to grope some young intern, I can only imagine what his new nickname will be...  (Soooooo glad DD's internship is done, & she's back home.) 

To be clear: I think Trump is a lunatic. I do not believe he has the capacity to suddenly morph into a level-headed, responsible, ethical person. I doubt he will last four years. He will either be impeached, or more likely, just abdicate all responsibilities once he figures out that being president of is USA is a crushing, 24/7 job, where every single move is scrutinized and criticized.

Eight short days to go!

There are still 24 hours in a day.

Yes there are.
And Republicans say it is a very long 24 hours in a day.

Democrats are clamoring they are way too fast 24 hours in a day

We are a day closer to making America greater!

I hope everyone realizes Trump will leave Pence in charge on a lot of the Presidential stuff.
You know the guy you hate more than Trump, because he follows through on what he says

I think many here will see him as a Dick Cheney evil younger brother with better hair.....

[Value Buy]

Pence was a good Congressman.
He was a great Governor.
He will be a great Vice President.

And according to President Obama we just had the greatest VP in our history, but Pence will topple that height with ease!

And after President Trump we will have President Pence to carry on.

I would love to see Pence run in 2020.

1 more week!

Republicans are already starting up the Obamacare repeal and defunding PP, I never would have imagined things would be this good this fast.  It's gonna be a good four (eight?) years !!

Honest curiosity, no snark, how do you feel about Veterans health benefits being privatized?  I hear that is being discussed as well, so I'm curious about your take.

Actually it is already..now in four years..the expense of building the wall , between 8/25 Billion..that is with a capital B...the increase of border patrol folks plus the medical, retirement , perks..the hiring of more agents to track down the illegals..present force is maxed out now as Obama was setting records on the sending them back....and now he is asking to increase our Navy to 345 ships from 270...now that is going to smart...plus the increase in personnel to man this new Navy....in that increase is a new super carrier too..plus 35 attack submarines...these are quite expensive toys by the way..

I kmow, Mexico President says regarding their paying for it.."no way Jose.." and I am sure he would be deposed if not assasinated if he or his successor had agreed...

and they have been complaining about Obamas spendthrift ways...u aint seen nothing yet....[Any one know what the interest cost a year now on our debt..].and that is at very low interest rates..to borrow now is at historys record low..already rates are starting to climb..

Make America greater...just realized that is a change...ok I will go with that Value..it's great now..if he can make it greater...why not...but the cost XValue...can we really afford it.

And what is your point?
Did you think interest rates were going to be this low forever?

Point is that right now the first $ 223 Billion ..

[actually lot more...this total was 2015, who knows what it is now]

goes to pay the interest on our debt..and while it has been the pubs who have been complaining about the debt increase under Obama...a legitimate complaint but not going to take time now to examine and discuss whether it should or shouldn't have been done,

it seems from all we have heard...just look above....the debt of the country is supposed to incresase by trillions under the Donalds plans, and I guess GOP leadership...haven't even brought up the plans to put Americans to work with big program aimed at repairing countrys infranstructure,,[actually badly needed]

So help me out here...under Obama its bad , bad to have increased the debt...one of the cornerstones of GOP  toward 
Obamas tour but under Trump and friends is good, good...acceptable?  Is it to the victor goes the spoils...?

[Value Buy]

A couple of days closer!!
Hard to believe it is under five days now before we America greater again!

Now Trump is moving the White House Press corp out of their traditional office space in the White House!
First step in draining the swamp!
Make them work for their stories.

BUSH COUNTING DOWN DAYS UNTIL HE IS NO LONGER WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

By Andy Borowitz

DALLAS (The Borowitz Report)—Former President George W. Bush is eagerly counting down the days until he is no longer the worst President in U.S. history, Bush confirmed on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters at his home, Bush said that he “could hardly wait” until Friday, when he will be officially bounced from the worst-President slot.

“I have to admit, I never thought I’d see this day in my lifetime,” the former President said. “When you leave office with the nation in smoldering ruins, you sort of come to accept that you’re gonna be worst for a long, long time.”

“I guess you could say I set the bar kind of high, worst-wise,” he chuckled.

As the returns came in on Election Night, however, the former President suddenly realized that his days as the worst President in U.S. history might be coming to an abrupt end.

“Holy cow,” Bush remembered saying to himself. “Just holy cow.”

While Bush recognizes that many Americans are dreading Friday’s Inauguration, he said he hoped that they could “sort of understand” why he might see things differently.

“To be honest, Friday can’t come fast enough for me,” he said. “I’m like a kid waiting for Christmas.”

though candidly, i think it will take President Trump at least two years to do as much harm as W did in (8).

Que the Imperial march from Star Wars, the Nazi theme from Indiana Jones and Dr Evil's theme from Austin Powers.

I think I would actually take Lord Vader and Dr. Evil over Trump.

Democrats are just as bad though, I think there is a large subset of each party that will support any candidate their party puts forward no matter how vile. My dad complains all day about Trump but then supports the Madigan machine in IL that has fiscally destroyed my state. Going forward we may as well just hand out either a red or blue crayon in the voting booth and ask people to color in their party, it would at least save some time.

whether they are "just as bad" remains to be seen.  certainly, rhetorically, they are not even close to as bad.

Ok, maybe you're right:


"Donald Trump’s inauguration team wanted to show off the U.S. military during inauguration weekend and even suggested including tanks and missile launchers in his inaugural parade."
