Dear Mr President —
Congratulations on a remarkable run.

Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.

This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful.
Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.

First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we
can [to] build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.

Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable.
It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War,
and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.

Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office.
That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions — like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and
civil liberties — that our forebears fought and bled for.

Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.

And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.

Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.

Good luck and Godspeed,

BO

Here

I doubt it got through Trumps thick chimpanzee skull.

The wall?
Drain the swamp?
Hillary in gaol?
Muslim immigration ban?
Replace and repeal Obamacare?
It's starting to look like tax reforms will go the way of healthcare reform.

I've seen no winning. Please remind me.

I think he was being facetious, hence the ' ' around. 'winning'.

Yeah, all good and well until they went too far on the last one, casting doubt on the rest even though it's well known they're true.

Yup.
Donald Trump Said Republicans Are the "Dumbest Group of Voters"?

My mistake.

That viral meme your friends keep sharing of Donald Trump calling Republicans "the dumbest group of voters in the country" is not true. It's not a thing. Stop sharing it.

So when you see this meme, know that it won't be a helpful counterpoint during the Thanksgiving political debates you'll have with your family.

Remember that "anti-Semitic," white supremacist, racist dude Trump recently fired? Bannon or whatever his name was...

Steve Bannon to speak at annual Zionist Organization of America gala: 'He's so pro-Israel' - U.S. News - Haaretz.com

Bannon's appearance at the event was first reported on Monday by The Atlantic. ZOA expressed support for Bannon when he came under attack last year for allegedly making anti-Semitic comments. The organization praised him as a supporter of Israel, and views him as an ally on policy issues such as the relocation of the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and scrapping the international accord with Iran on its nuclear program.

^ Nah...it's probably just a MIC managed online persona pretending to be Russian...

https://www.theguardian.com/environm...m-astroturfing

a. Create "10 personas per user, replete with background, history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technically, culturally and geographically consistent … Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through conventional online services and social media platforms."

The internet is a wonderful gift, but it's also a bonanza for corporate lobbyists, viral marketers and government spin doctors, who can operate in cyberspace without regulation, accountability or fear of detection. So let me repeat the question I've put in previous articles, and which has yet to be satisfactorily answered: what should we do to fight these tactics?

Making Russia the Enemy
https://consortiumnews.com/2016/12/1...sia-the-enemy/

The Victory of 'Perception Management'
https://consortiumnews.com/2014/12/2...on-management/

So, the challenge for the U.S. government became: how to present the actions of “enemies” always in the darkest light while bathing the behavior of the U.S. “side” in a rosy glow. You also had to stage this propaganda theater in an ostensibly “free country” with a supposedly “independent press.”

From documents declassified or leaked over the past several decades, including an unpublished draft chapter of the congressional Iran-Contra investigation, we now know a great deal about how this remarkable project was undertaken and who the key players were.

Perhaps not surprisingly much of the initiative came from the Central Intelligence Agency, which housed the expertise for manipulating target populations through propaganda and disinformation. The only difference this time would be that the American people would be the target population.

Back home after a fine 6 week visit with friends and family in the Golden State aka California. Considered by many as the home of tree huggers and libtards led by governor moonbeam.

In spite of the many pro and anti Trump media sources, in general, folks from all economic and ethnic groups don't pay much attention to the media noise and carry on post Trump as they did pre Trump.

Unlike folks here on our "Thai" based forum the good citizens of California ignore the media and simply get on with making a living and enjoying it best they can.

Just thought I'd let the hard over pro/anti Trump folks here on TD know folks living in California are far less concerned about US politics than some here on the buffalo board.

Carry on and enjoy the debate.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Jewish Group That Connects Trump and Putin - POLITICO Magazine

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, as Trump looked for business and investors in the former Soviet Union during the first years of this century, he struck up an enduring relationship with a firm called Bayrock-Sapir.
Bayrock was co-led by Felix Sater, a convicted mob associate.

Might be the people you associate with.

I was home during March, April and May of this year and most people I knew were talking about trump and his failed presidency. Maybe a birds of a feather thing?

Even today The Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel have lead stories about trump and we have a Cat 4 storm knocking on our door.

If you don’t think 10’s of thousands of people (their family/friends) in Florida are cussing this sociopath of a president we have today (while trying to make a living), you would be wrong.

Dead Wrong

**thailazer** · 05-09-2017, 09:22 AM

Those lawsuits, valid or not, certainly did not hit the press here in the USA. At least I never saw them.

Voters remorse?.

"The 2016 United States presidential election in Florida was won by Donald Trump on November 8, 2016 with a plurality of 49.0% of the popular vote, over Hillary Clinton with 47.8%. Florida's 29 electoral votes were assigned to Trump."

Could be. A few business owners, a few average working folks, mix of hispanics, african americans asians and white folks. Fairly diverse group but as I said above, the majority are getting on with life and with a few exceptions, unlike the media, do not blame Trump the divider in chief for everything making their lives difficult. Surprising given California voters soundly rejected Trump nearly 2 to 1. Popular vote 8,753,788 Clinton, 4,483,810 Trump.

Don't get me wrong. Most all the folks I talked to think Trump is a dangerous con artist but so far he's done nothing to adversly impact folks day to day life.

This however could soon change.
