Brilliantly.  He's admitted to not paying in some instances.  Boards, that's the business mind we need.

I look for every loophole and think most of us do.

None of us want our dollars spent recklessly and we all know that Gov knows no other way.

I don't think it was anything so glamorous.

It would appear that it was a massive flood of uneducated, rural white folks, who have been programed for decades to distrust all of the institutions that support our democratic process.

It is shocking that they could be so easily mobilized by a hate-spewing, authoritarian demagogue.

Stock market tripled.  Unemployment was cut in half.  Nearly 12 million private sector jobs were added to the economy.  Our annual budget deficit was slashed by $1 trillion, with a T.   The Bush wars ended.  Bin laden was brought to justice.  Healthcare was expanded to 20 million and we reached the lowest % of uninsured Americans on record.  

I don't know.  I think the liberalism thing was working quite well.  Particularly in contrast to the last two republican presidents.  

But not everyone pays attention or learns from history, so here we go again.  Let's see if republicans can do a good job this time.  Cough cough.

Thank goodness, Boards, for your continued touting of the substantial improvements in our country since 2008.   Too bad liberal talk shows, with good news like this, don't sell.  What a difference it would make if everyone on the air were selling good news and optimism, not negativism and hate.

Hooray for freedumbz!

At long last, the shackles have been removed and Americans can get back to dying of preventable illnesses, going bankrupt when a family member gets sick, and denial of care for preexisting conditions just like the Founders intended.

Most people die from bad habits. How do you propose fixing that?

A malfunctioning kidney is due to bad habits?  Cancer of the liver is from a bad habit?  How do you propose fixing those problems?  just fix the rich republican Christian white guys?

Trump ran almost entirely on dog whistle politics, and the dogs responded.

What we saw Tuesday night was probably the greatest display of white privilege the planet has ever witnessed, where the demographic least affected by the policies proposed by a xenophobic, bigoted, demagogue came out in droves to vote for him out of perceived self-interest.

All the exit polling bears this out, but you continue to want to play dumb.

In fact, none of us really knows Trump.  The Trump who admired Hillary before he hated her.  The Trump who was for a woman's right to choose before he was against it.  The Trump who was for the Iraq war before he turned against it.

The facts indicate that although he ran on the republican ticket, Trump is heart and soul a democrat.  Any of you republicans who think he's going to be a strong conservative are as naive as those of us who thought Hillary would win.  
And before you celebrate that he and the republicans own both houses of congress, remember this:  90% of the republicans in the house or senate are establishment republicans -- most of whom did not vote nor support Trump.  Indeed, from a political standpoint, Trump is as much a threat to them as he is to the democrats of the congress.  

Any republican stupid enough to reject a Trump proposal for legislation will be decimated.  For sure.  

George Washington started his presidency morally bankrupt -- from the start he was for the power of the wealthy to run the country -- but once he was in he dedicated himself to solving problems.  Maybe Trump will do the same.


What I hope is that Trump refuses to surround himself with losers as advisors.  We don't need incapable generals dictating how to improve the military -- their track record of lost wars that never end speaks for itself.

And we don't need a healthcare system that leaves millions of Americans without care.

Trump's a businessman.  The run for the presidency required salesmanship.  He said whatever he needed to say to win.

As a business leader, once you've sold your product your next step is to deliver and keep your customer happy.  If you fail, you lose any chance of repeat sales.  And you go bankrupt.

Fasten your seat belts.  It will be a bumpy ride.

Why don't you do Bernie Sanders the courtesy of referring to him as he does himself, a SOCIALIST.  That's way past Progressive.

Sure.  Bernie is a socialist democrat.  So am I.  And you're a fascist. Reality.

Nope, he's just an old, white Socialist.

Glad to see you accept being labeled a fascist.  We all knew it anyway ...
