    we have nearly 5 decades of evidence which proves that trump only cares about trump.

    and we also have 5 decades of evidence that shows he never did anything related to public service.

    he got into the presidential race for two reasons:

    1. stroke his ego
    2. bring more attention to the trump brand


    i'd wager that he doesn't even finish the four year term.

    Now we have Human Rights Watch getting in on he act......The following masterpiece is courtesy of the New York Times....(hopefully to be bankrupt in the near future)

    WASHINGTON — Human Rights Watch on Thursday released its annual report on threats to human rights around the world, and for the first time in the 27 years it has done these surveys, the United States is one of the biggest. The reason: the rise of Donald J. Trump.

    Eight days before Mr. Trump is to be sworn in as president, the human-rights advocacy group declared that his path to power, in a campaign marked by “misogynistic, xenophobic and racist rhetoric,” could “cause tremendous harm to vulnerable communities, contravene the United States’ core human rights obligations, or both.”

    Mr. Roth cited a familiar list of policies Mr. Trump embraced during the campaign: mass deportations of unauthorized immigrants, a ban on Muslims’ entering the United States,

    Apparently Mr Roth believes that entering a foreign country illegally is a "human right".....and any resulting deportation of illegals is a violation of their "rights".... Not talking about refugees here.....just folks sneaking in and avoiding all the legal channels.... that would make them illegal, and there really is not much wiggle room on this one.

    All countries have immigration policies, with legal methods of entry and settlement. Those who violate the legal methods are in violation of the laws of that country and it has fook all to do with human rights...... Clearly, Mr Roth is a libtard of monumental proportions...

    You are making up fairy tales in your head about Trump's positions and then trying create some kind of alarm when trump's cabinet don't parrot what he has said verbatim, and if they did you would be shrieking about that too.

    Not everything is set in stone, new situations arise and have to be dealt with as they arise, and having a diversity of opinion on various matters is no bad thing.

    Instead of pretending to be concerned about things you make up, why dont you just shriek 'trump he bad' non stop. It would save your tiny little brains from overheating.

    Actually I'd be relieved to hear that they're all singing the same song, at least then the US has only one position on things, rather different ones from the president and his chief advisors.

    Most people don't hate America or Americans per se, it's their foreign policy people hate, we all thought there would be great changes under Obama but sadly not. Maybe Trump will be different in that regard only time will tell.

    Really? I don't agree with that at all. Having similar values is important; but there are many ways to skin a cat, or grab a pussy.

    ^ What exactly is the big disconnect you think there is?

    His post was nothing but self masturbation. And he or you can take me on the bet, if you got the balls to back up what he wrote.

    What happened there? A post disappeared. Oh I see never mind.

    I will take you on.

    The bet being that trump will not only fully complete his term, but go for a second one, barring impeachment or any event that impairs his physical well being.

    The loser can never post on TD again.

    So will you take the bet?

    obama's still the president.

    cabinet members only have to get in line once a policy has been decided on and a cabinet member is told to implement it.

    don't think trump's looking for "yes men" with regards to the types of people he's chosen for these top cabinet positions.

    I just learned from the Pilger and Assange interview that Citibank put forth a list to Obama on his cabinet choices and Obama chose 50% of of his cabinet in 2008 from this Citibank list:

    "hope" and "change"


    Little did.

    Cometh the hour
    Cometh the Rooster !!

    I wonder what kind of scraggy chicken Clinton would have made...


    Donald Trump rooster

    China mass-producing 'Trump roosters'

    IAXING, CHINA: A Chinese factory has been doing a brisk business selling giant inflatable roosters, some as tall as five metres, based on a design widely perceived to resemble Donald Trump.

    Yifang Inflatables, a factory in the city of Jiaxing, near Shanghai, began selling the inflatables after images of a large sculpture of a similar design outside a shopping centre in the northern city of Taiyuan went viral on social media last month.


    The original statue was designed by US-based artist Casey Latiolais, whose website displays the rooster next to a similar design that borrows elements of a Trump election slogan. Chinese state media have described the rooster as "sporting the President-elect's signature hairdo and hand gestures".

    soros lost a billion thinking the market would crash after the trump win:



    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...on-wsj-reports

    Soros became more bearish immediately after Trump’s election. But the stock market has rallied on expectations that Trump’s policies will boost corporate earnings and the overall economy. The S&P 500 Index has risen 5.6 percent since Trump’s election through yesterday.

    As a result, some of Soros’s trading positions incurred losses approaching $1 billion, the Journal said.

    the party's over before it even gets started


    More Americans disapprove of Trump’s transition than approve, a stark break from past presidents. 44 percent approve of the transition while 51 percent disapprove, Gallup found. By comparison, around the same time in Barack Obama’s 2009 transition, 83 percent of Americans approved of the effort while only 12 percent disapproved.

    In 2001, George W. Bush — who, like Trump, lost the popular vote — enjoyed a 61 percent approval rating for his transition, while only 25 percent of Americans disapproved. Bill Clinton saw similar numbers in 1993, with 68 percent approval and 18 percent disapproval.

    The Gallup findings line up with other polls showing a dim outlook on the incoming administration. The Pew Research Center recently found that 41 percent approve of Trump’s “Cabinet choices and other high-level appointments,” while 49 percent disapprove. Quinnipiac University, meanwhile, found 37 percent of voters approving of Trump’s transition and 51 percent disapproving.

    Taken together, the polls paint a picture of a historically unpopular incoming administration.

    Anything Trump does or anyone he appoints is automatically going to be unpopular with libtards. Ban libtards from taking part in polls and the results might be a more accurate reflection on society today.

    i've been wondering if the neo-cons in the CIA/defense establishment are worried that a trump admin will uncover dirt about their activities in the middle east and dealings with israel.

    the way the CIA/wa post/ny times/cnn has been going berserk the last month or so with headlines that "russia hacked the election" when it was the fbi that published hillary's emails (wikileaks just published some obscure emails from the dnc and podesta that showed that bernie didn't have a chance, etc.)

    shows that the so-called "military industrial complex" is terrified of something. i have no idea what they're so afraid of and why they are lashing out at trump, but i'm looking forward to news like the PNAC documents (cheney and wolfowitz) and clean break document (richard perle and israel) being shown as blue prints for the invasion of iraq and all the chaos it's caused (intentionally wished by the clean break document).

    the reason there are millions of refugees in europe (and terrorist attacks) and war/destruction death in syria/iraq/libya, etc. is because the neo-cons wanted to attack iraq before they even joined the dubya admin as seen in the clean break and pnac docs.

    and this is interesting:

    from israeli newspaper, haaretz:

    American intelligence officials expressed despair at the election of Trump during a recent meeting with their Israeli counterparts, Bergman reported. They said that they believed that Putin had “leverages of pressure” over Trump, though they did not elaborate. The American media reported on Wednesday that Russia has embarrassing intelligence about the president-elect.

    According to Bergman, the American intelligence officials implied that Israel should “be careful” when transferring intelligence information to the White House and the National Security Council (NSC) following Trump's inauguration – at least until it is clear that Trump does not have inappropriate connections with Russia.

    Riiiiight. Gallop poll. This is their criteria, as clearly you didn't read much past the headline:

    Results are based on telephone interviews conducted January 4-8, 2017 with a random sample of –1,032— adults, aged 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on this sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
    Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking.
    Literally clickbait.
