Drain the swamp...end the influence of special interests... Democrats are corrupt...pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

The CBO ACA issue is especially despicable.

I have moved, kept on moving...
Proved the points that I need proving...
Lost the friends I needed losing...found others on the way
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Perhaps your assumptions about these people needs some re-examining.

Seriously, who in their right mind, of any political persuasion outside of some murderous halfwits, would condone what those kids did?

But then again you repeatedly post the nonsense about Hillary being a murderer and so forth.

It's the kind of demonizing and caricaturing and conspiracy theorizing that ends up with the would-be pizzeria assassin or worse.

There have been a lot of important developments in US politics this week so maybe you missed some of these:
1. The President-Elect fired all Ambassadors and Special Envoys, ordering them out by inauguration day. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/06/trump-tells-obamas-ambassadors-to-leave-by-inauguration-day.html
2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce any named individual civil servant, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them individually by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/house-republicans-revive-obscure-rule-that-could-allow-them-to-slash-the-pay-of-individual-federal-workers-to-1/2017/01/04/4e80c990-d2b2-11e6-945a-76f69a399dd5_story.html?utm_term=.37698e2965ce
3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with the President-Elect's first press conference in months and an ACA budget vote, effectively preventing any media coverage or protest. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/senate-confirmation-trump-cabinet-nominees-233247
4. House GOP expressly forbids the Congressional Budget Office from reporting or tracking ANY costs related to the repeal of the ACA. http://bipartisanreport.com/2017/01/06/gop-voted-to-ban-congressional-budget-office-from-calculating-obamacare-repeal-costs/
5. The President-Elect continues to throw shade on the intelligence community, despite the growing mountain of evidence that the Russians deliberately interfered in the US election. http://www.businessinsider.com/leon-panetta-trump-russia-cia-intelligence-2017-1
6. The President-Elect broke a central campaign promise by asking Congress (in other words, US taxpayers) to pay for his asinine "wall". http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/05/politics/border-wall-house-republicans-donald-trump-taxpayers/
7. The President-Elect threatened Toyota over a new car plant that was never coming to the US nor will take jobs out of the US. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/05/donald-trump-threatens-toyota-but-it-looks-like-he-got-the-facts-wrong/?utm_term=.f54bc657290a
8. House passes the REINS act, giving them veto power over any rules enacted by any federal agency or department--for example, FDA or EPA bans a drug or pesticide, Congress can overrule based on lobbyists not science. Don't like that endangered species designation, Congress kills it. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-congress-regulations-idUSKBN14Q07B

Democrats only have themselves to blame and I don't have an ounce of sympathy for them

None of this bothers you as a citizen/resident/conservative who dislikes corruption/poor governance?

Well. That's interesting!

Trump likes to, eh, shower with gold taps.

That's what a golden shower is....isn't it?

The Manchurian candidate, president elect Trumpski.

You couldn't make this up

Odds on President Pence in 2017 anyone?

Or are they taking the piss, in Moscow, at Miss Universe, yellow on orange. Or is it gold...
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Perhaps your assumptions about these people needs some re-examining.

But then again you repeatedly post the nonsense about Hillary being a murderer and so forth.

It's the kind of demonizing and caricaturing and conspiracy theorizing that ends up with the would-be pizzeria assassin or worse.

I never said they confined the behaviour of those animals, I was wondering why they did not come right out and denounce it, kind of like Trump on white supremacists.

Sharpton and Jackson did the right thing, I was wrong, did I was wrong, what more do you want.

As for Clinton, I and many millions of people would put nothing past that bitch, including murder.

I have to say I enjoyed that. The king of misinformation getting done by a fabricated story ... good enough for him!!!

I'd say he's spitting bullets in Trump Tower class!!

She has never been tried for murder so she has never committed murder in the eyes of the law. I am being a bit of a hypocrite in that I gave OJ the benefit of the doubt, here she has never been more than spoken to about VF.

In short this is me letting that go, she did not murder anybody.

So Russia has some interesting material on the Donald. The narcissist in chief is not your regular President.

I'm hate to disappoint but this is a fake.
It only serves now to make him controversy free.
