He's really scraping the bottom of the barrel for his inauguration. Jimmy Swaggert must have been busy.
There’s no shortage of con artists and assorted corrupt types surrounding Donald Trump. After all, he’s just run the biggest con the American people have ever seen, so naturally he’d flock to like-minded individuals. Among them is a preacher from Florida by the name of Paula White. This woman’s scam is a good one if you’re in it for the money. She is a “seed faith” preacher. This ideology promotes the idea that the more money you give the church, the more blessings will come your way. It is formally known as “prosperity gospel.” White also will be the one who delivers the prayer at Trump’s inauguration.
White runs the New Destiny Christian Center as the Senior Pastor. She has also previously been under investigation by the United States Senate for fraudulent activities being run out of her so-called “church.” White begs for cash via her church’s website, promising goodness from God, saying:
“When we receive your seed we have a very powerful Word from the Lord that we will send to you. We want to show our Gratitude to you and to help you grow in your Attitude of Gratitude.”...

Earth to Planet Dumbert... Trump is the biggest and most blatant snake oil salesman the US has elected since they began taking office on a regular basis from '44 onward.. Americans.. they always reap what they sow. Funny people, so tough, yet so delicate... and always so gullible.
Seppos are normally so defensive of their presidents even when they had that total fukwit dubya in the Whitehouse, this truely is the end of seppoland and how the rest of the world will celebrate.
Trump is selling snake oil for sure, but real genuine stuff, snake oil with a serious bite to it.
Hillary libtards never took it seriously. Now what the dems and Hillarybots are suffering goes beyond butthurt, we are witnessing a social meltdown and psychic devastation of a magnatude heretofore unseen!
And the best part is they still don't know what hit them!
Trump is still leading the narrative with outrageous tweets, and the media follows.
The libtards are furiously and impotently trying to impeach Trump before he even sets foot in the Oval Office.
Obama is desperate, and sanctions the Russians in his last hour of agony. (Trump will destroy the phony Obama legacy)
Meanwhile, The Donald, a born leader of men and women is indeed leading.
Not waiting the inauguration, he's got them all spinning as he leads them by the nose.
Long Live The Donald, the new king of pure American bullshit!
It's all so fucking refreshingly hillarious, I'm beside myself laughing!
my response to Earl's posts is much like Trump's response to intelligence briefings. Call me when there is something new.
Could be problematic for Trump's AG choice. Selectively omitting important records related to his record.
Jeff Sessions Omits Decades Of Records For His AG Confirmation Hearing
WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is withholding decades’ worth of records from his career ahead of his Senate confirmation hearings early next month, according to an exhaustive report issued Friday by progressive advocacy groups.
The groups, which include Alliance for Justice and People for the American Way, reviewed the questionnaire that Sessions filled out for the Senate Judiciary Committee ― it requires complete documentation of employment history, published writings, interviews and speeches, among other things ― and found “astonishingly deficient” responses. He left out major details from his years as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, from 1981 to 1993; as attorney general of Alabama, from 1995 to 1997; and as a first-term U.S. senator, from 1997 to 2002.
The gaps encompass the time, for example, when Sessions was nominated to be a federal judge in 1986 ― and then rejected after being deemed too racist .
He also omitted dozens of recent interviews, some of which included controversial statements he made. An October interview in which Sessions gave Trump a pass for making sexist comments, because “everybody knows that Trump likes women” and “uses this kind of talk,” was not cited in his questionnaire. A December 2015 interview in which Sessions says “the predictions aren’t coming true” about climate change having disastrous effects is also not mentioned.
A Trump transition team spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, nor did a Senate spokesman for Sessions....

I was watching the news last night and they showed some Seppos crying like fok about Trump.
I thought get over,
Ya only have to put up with him for at the very least four years.
Lame fcuk Obyebye is getting comical now with bs about Russia.
We don't know and cannot predict what things will be like in 3 1/2 years.
He could do 8 or be "one and done."
DNC votes on a new chair in February. For the dedicated Dems they will be on board regardless of how or if the party changes. For me and some others, the Dems have to change or I'll never vote Dem.

Putin does not give 1 fuk about Obumma and would of pissed himself laughing when he got the word about Obummas parting shot.
^^
Yes well that was my point,
He is in the Chair now so all the crying, posturing and protesting by his Seppo detractors mean absolutely fuk all.
They should just piss off home, relax and let this gong show roll on.
He may do great things or he may fuk up, lets all see what actually pans out here.
Trouble is, so many Coonts actually think they have a crystal ball .
You Make Your Own Luck

I found this article interesting.
Trump praises Putin over US sanctions – a move that puts him at odds with GOP
What will applauding the Russian president’s response to Barack Obama’s expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats mean when Trump takes office?
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
After the Obama administration’s tough new sanctions against Russia put the president-elect in a vulnerable political position at home, in his own party and abroad, Donald Trump chose to respond in familiar fashion – with praise for Vladimir Putin.
The president-elect has repeatedly spoken approvingly of Putin and called for closer relations with Russia. On Friday, he used Twitter to applaud Putin’s restrained response to the expulsion by the US of 35 diplomats and the closure of two Russian compounds.

Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!
December 30, 2016
The tweet, like many from Trump that seem calculated to shock and offend, caused a predictable media furore. However, it probably will have done nothing to alleviate the difficult political position in which Trump now finds himself.
The president-elect has been consistently skeptical about the US intelligence consensus that Russia ordered cyber-attacks on Democratic party targets as a way to influence the 2016 election in his favor – the reason for Obama’s new sanctions. At one point, he suggested the culprit might have been China, another state or even a 400lb man in his bedroom.
On taking office in January, Trump might therefore be expected to simply end the Obama sanctions. And as president, he could do so; presidential orders can simply be repealed by the executive branch.
But the situation is not that simple. If Trump did choose to remove the sanctions, he would find himself at odds with his own party. Senior Republicans in Congress responded to the Obama sanctions by identifying Russia as a major geopolitical foe and criticizing the new measures only as a case of too little too late. Some promised a push for further measures in Congress.
Trump may therefore choose not to reverse the new sanctions. If so, he will find himself at odds with the man he so constantly praises.
On Friday, the Kremlin responded to the moves, including the expulsion of 35 suspected intelligence operatives and the closing of two Russian facilities in the US, with a shrug. Putin, it seems, is willing simply to wait until Trump moves into the Oval Office. Trump’s tweet suggested he is too.
But such provocative words could not distract the media and public from another domestic concern for Trump – the growing perception that his predecessor has acted to his disadvantage.
“The sanctions were clearly an attempt by the Obama administration to throw a wrench into – or [to] box in – the next administration’s relationship with Russia,” said Boris Zilberman, a Russia expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“Putin, in part, saw through that and sidestepped it by playing good cop to [Russian foreign minister Sergey] Lavrov and the [state] Duma, who were calling for a reciprocal response.”
Trump will also face pressure from intelligence agencies, which have concluded that Moscow ordered the election cyber-attacks.
“There is now a public record of what Russia did and why they did it,” said Zachary Goldman, executive director of New York University Law School’s Center on Law and Security, referring to a joint Department of Homeland Security and FBI report issued on Thursday.
“Even if the sanctions can be unwound, you can’t make that public statement go away.”
Goldman also noted an international element to the situation facing Trump. It is important to note, he said, that the new executive order enables Obama and his successors to take retaliatory action against efforts to influence elections held by “allies and partners”. Germany and France will hold elections in 2017.
On a call with reporters on Thursday, a senior White House official said the US had “every indication” that Russia would continue to pursue such cyber-attacks.
On the same call, officials expressed confidence that the political risk of appearing to cave in to Moscow would prevent any future administration from unwinding the sanctions.
“If a future president decided that he wanted to allow in a large tranche of Russian intelligence agents, presumably a future president could invite that action,” a senior official said.
“We think it would be inadvisable. As my colleague just said, these diplomatic compounds were being used for intelligence purposes. That is a direct challenge to US national security, and I don’t think it would make much sense to reopen Russian intelligence compounds.”
In his own statement, President Obama said: “All Americans should be alarmed by Russia’s actions.”
In response, Trump repeated his contention that the issue should be left behind, that Americans should be able to “get on with our lives”. But he did agree to meet intelligence officials next week, to be “updated on the facts”.
In a transition team call on Friday, the incoming White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, did not give details of when that meeting would take place or who would attend. No talks were planned with Moscow, he said.
Underlining the challenges awaiting Trump in his own party, most senior Republicans criticized the Obama administration only for acting too slowly.
On Thursday, the Arizona senator John McCain and South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham said in a joint statement: “The retaliatory measures announced by the Obama administration today are long overdue.
“But ultimately, they are a small price for Russia to pay for its brazen attack on American democracy. We intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on Russia.”

The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, agreed, saying: “The Russians are not our friends. And clearly the Obama administration has not yet dissuaded them from attempting to breach our cybersecurity systems, or harass our diplomats in Moscow.”
On Friday, it was reported that McCain, a member of the Senate armed services committee, had scheduled a hearing on foreign cyber threats for 5 January, and called senior intelligence officials to testify.
Analysts were also concerned not with whether the sanctions should have been imposed at all, but rather whether the White House had acted quickly enough, and whether its eventual response was strong enough.
“The sanctions are targeted, not sectoral, and will have a very limited impact,” said Thomas Wright, a fellow and director of the Project on International Order and Strategy at the Brookings Institute. “This will not deter Putin from interfering in French or German elections in 2017.”
Though the strength, timing and effect of the new sanctions are contested, Trump faces a bipartisan consensus. Domestically, any attempt to remove Obama’s sanctions against Russia will be a political non-starter.

“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
All the political establishment are concerned about is protecting their own agenda than achieving anything good for the usa or the millions of lives being ruined by callous us policy in syria; they want that civil war to drag on.
O'Bungler is playing right into Trumps hand.
I'm quite sure Trump welcomes an opportunity to poke the sanctimonious prick Paul Ryan in the eye.
Remember the rethug establisment was against Trump from the start.
Like I've said numerous times, but bears repeating; underestimating Trump is a very bad bet.
