Hello All

Trumps's choices for cabinet positions is a list of the worst possible candidates for the American people; every one of them is an ideological, inimical, vainglory poseur who do not believe in democracy.
They are all traitors to the principles and intent of the US Constitution and instead are adjuvant players advancing the Neo-liberal/conservative agenda whose economic venom has destroyed society's social pillars and institutions that support democracy, the ethical and moral glue that shapes human attitudes and behavior, and the ruination of honesty, fairness, and the "HOPE" of a more equally prosperous pursuit of happiness.
These ideologues worship "Mammon" you cannot serve God and mammon — Matthew 6:24; Nor can you serve the democratic rights of the American people, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the inalienable rights of US citizens when your ideological philosophy raises questions of one's ability to honor the oath of office they swear to uphold for the American people: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
These appointees have already shown where their loyalty lies, and it is not with democracy or the voices of citizens. That conflict of interests makes every appointee of donald thrump a traitor to the Constitution and the American people.
MI electors?? The entire election is now invalid! See: http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2016/12/09/cia-says-russia-favored...
Pass it on! The 2016 Presidential Election was thrown. The results MUST NOT STAND!
I was so proud & so hopeful when "we" put people on the Moon. I'm Non-theistic, but Reagan's hatred really continues to kill so many more of US than the 58,000+ (US + Millions) in Vietnam. I'd Swear he WAS the devil. This is all an outgrowth of the Nightmare brought to US, via Treasonous Greed, from those GE & Chamber pupetmasters. In spite of Great Minds like Orwell who Saw (or unwittingly wrote the scripts for?) this Horror. I'm teaching my 10 year-old grandaughter Defensive (they're Really ALL extremely Offensive) Weapons training. I cried when I had to teach her to go for head (or distractive knee & below) shots only. She probably won't have time to don gear when they come.
Greed is a neutralizer of rationality. It Breeds STUPID.
Heehaw ... That's good, very funny! And true.
In fact, can we saddle Trump with "Minority-elect President" the same way he unjustifiably used the "birther" tag against Obama?
MEPOTUS!
(kinda sounds like Trump tweet anyway ...)
Rght wing Trolls are dieing off. The cabinet picks are beyond their widest dreams.
Well Minority-elect Trump is a populist if your sample size is Billionaires ...
Unless 37 Electoral College members vote their conscience over party, I shall alway refer to this president as "Minority-elect President Trump". We've got to keep that at the forefront of dialogue as he's pulling a "Dubya" and acting like he has a mandate.
A living wage in the U.S. economy needs to cover much more than just the bare subsistence of food, clothing, and shelter to create a vibrant economy and the pursuit of happiness, as our Founders intended. First, wages have to be high enough so that families won't need public assistance. Then, an 8-hour day, forty-hour workweek, with overtime for the hours exceeded -- fought long and hard for by unions -- should cover the cost of medical care, a comfortable retirement, savings for unforeseen expenses, transportation, higher education, vacations, and enough breathing room for mentally and spiritually stimulating recreational activities with our family and friends, such as sports, going to a restaurant, a movie, a concert now and then, etc.
A wealthy nation like ours has plenty of money to pay such wages and salaries to their worthy, productive citizens, no matter what job they work. Every job should be valued and honored, because each one adds to the wellbeing of society. To survive as a healthy nation without slipping into third-world status, or some fascist hybrid, we must work to reverse the Republicans' (and corporate Democratic enablers) thirty-plus year trend of siphoning most of our bounty into the pockets of the few at the top of the pyramid. Curtailing excessive profit-taking and penalizing unpatriotic corporations that offshore our jobs, by slapping hefty tariffs on the overpriced crap they try to import back to us, would be a good place to start. If they want access to our large, sought-after markets, they have to play by our rules, not their own so-called "free" trade rules that only end up screwing over workers and the environment while enriching the greed-mongers, such as the sexual pervert and liar,Trump, and his rapacious buddies.
Jane Meyer wrote Dark Money listing the players and their game plan. Where
was the discussion about this book other than a vague nod. Jane names these players and all of the plans on how to "tear government out by the roots" the Koch brothers and their ilk need to be publicly exposed as conspiring to destroy or weaken our democracy. Talking about Trump's Cabinet picks is like " describing the water as we are drowning " when are we finally going to take the fight to them. The Koch s represent the head of the snake the focus needs to be on them and their plans. The lack of focus on the Koch makes me wonder if our leaders are afraid to pull back the curtain and expose these traitors and cowards for what they are.
I really miss the rain that we used to have in the Summer and Fall. The Midwest is not what it used to be. :(
Just like the old saying: "You get what you pay for" - "You get what you vote for."
The word "job" needs more defintion.
What is the cost per day to have food, shelter, and medical?
Then define a job as 8 hours of activity that at least pays
for these costs for one person for one day.
Lets see if Trump can get large infrastructure projects
funded that will provide jobs.
Real jobs.

Yes, he can go straight ro hell, and all the ignorant fools who voted for him! All of a sudden the rest of us are supposed to be all nicey-nice, good little citizens, respect their idiotic choices, shut the hell up, and make it all work out for them -- the same disgusting trolls who slandered and maligned relentlessly everyone who tried to reason with them or who tried to support the Democrats to make this a better world. These immoral degenerates deserve nothing but utter contempt and ridicule every step along the way to hell.
New Secretary of Labor, what a joke, but not really a joke -- just a very bad choice for that position. I agree with the comment above. Trump has created a lot of bad karma.
I really like the Trumpster's consistency. I couldn't have done a better job for Satan myself. Go DJT! Go straight to hell, where you came from, and take your batch of fallen angels with you.
@#16:
Absolutely! Fighting is our only option left, by any means available, on all fronts, everything just short of direct physical violence. Nothing is more irritating than mealy-mouthed fence-sitters, Democrats, and liberals who say, "Oh, just give them a chance, and we'll see if they'll do the right thing," or "Let's find a way to work with them, to find a compromise of some sort, etc., etc...
No! These worthless right-wing, corporate stooges have shown their true colors over and over for way, way too long, spinning ridiculous lies and false promises, saying and doing anything to claw their way to power and then turning right around and screwing working taxpayers and everyone else dumb enough to believe their pure bullcrap, while they do nothing but suck up all the wealth, foment endless war, and completely ruin the environment.
It's time -- past the time -- for full-out, non-violent revolution and massive, in-their-face protest, everywhere, all the time. Throughout decades of over the top, bare-knuckle smear campaigns, Republicans and their rightwing henchmen have made Democrats and liberals their mortal enemy. Is there any doubt about that? So then let us fight them like the enemy they have made themselves. The future of the world is literally at stake!
That way things are shaping up, Donald Trump will become widely known as the "US Corrupt Liar in Chief and his Swamp Filled Cabinet."
Clearly, Trump will not pick anyone qualified for the cabinet positions available but rather only those who he thinks will be loyal. Loyality is really the only consideration.
This happened after the Roman empire split into east and west divisions. The rulers in the west in particular appointed only those to "governmental" positions that were considered loyal even though they had no idea of what was required to carry out their job. This hastened the demise of the Romans.
Trump will do the same thing to us.
Don't buy into GOP hypocrisy. Fight the SOB's.
One reason the election results of 2016 voter suppression associated with domestic violence. The more aggressive person of the household accompany their spouse and watches the spouse vote.
A conversation made me realize that the less aggressive person in a relationship may have just capitulated to the aggressor and voted to match.
So domestic violence either physical or emotional may have played an important role determining the outcome of this race.

Thom, You are so wrong about your explanation about 911. WTC 7 is the smoking gun. Your answer to your caller was based on melting steel. WTC 7 had a TINY fire. Just watch the collapse of that building. Your eyes don't lie. Please get out of your own opinion and look more closely at the evidence. Steel buildings do not beome molten steel in the basement, when the planes hit midway up the building. The firefighters attested to this fact!
I have no idea WHAT happened on 911, but what my eyes saw and the physics of heat and steel do not add up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Thom for this important information. My friend was helping with the MI recount in Wayne County and witnessed this very situation! I was making arrangements to go to Detroit when the recount was stopped. We are trying to get out a NYT and HuffPo story about an elector who will not vote for trump; this article is thoughtful and well-written (however, isn't clear who will get his vote). But his rationale is excellent especially from a Constitutionality standpoint. We are sending these links to news outlets, Congress, friends; also posting on FB and Twitter. Please post the links prominently at your website and mention on air. Again, thanks for all you do - you are the voice of sanity during these crazy scary times!

Con-Don strikes again.
Save the Billionaires! Vote GOP! (Why do people vote for Republicans that they know want to eliminate government so they can get ahold of all the tax dollars through privitization?)
