B-Man Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 TO PREVIEW THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY, Look At The Confirmation Hearings For His Cabinet Picks: Retired General James Mattis, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, capped a series of head-turning confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill this week. Early in the week, nominees presented a stark contrast to Senate Democrats. On one side, Americans saw well-prepared, highly dignified appointees appear before elected officials from both parties. On the other side, hostile questioners from the left grilled the nominees, almost reflexively manufacturing attacks on character and asserting gaps in knowledge – which, to a casual observer, seemed nonexistent. Half dozen nominees have been nothing – if not meticulously prepared. What does this portend for the coming Trump dministration? . . . What does the solid performance of these appointees, against a shaky backdrop, foretell? First, these Trump appointees are demonstrating high respect for process and truth, something for which every American should be glad. Second, we are learning something intangible about the future of this administration. Whether Democrats continue their stubborn resistance and inglorious slide, or choose to arrest it, is really secondary. Primary is what we are learning about the quality of preparation, patience and temperament of those who will soon lead major departments. The unspoken message is heartening. The nominees are not newbies. Nor are they misaligned with their assigned missions. They are seasoned professionals. And they are acting that way. They are proving candid and deep, sensible, at times even sage. They know the ropes, their fields, the challenges that lie ahead of them – and respect Congress. Or at least that is the distinct impression they leave. Collectively, these early appointees have endured dozens of hours of leading questions, transparent attempts (largely unavailing) at character assassination, and attempts to derail their focus. They have weathered the storm. All the while, Heartland Americans have watched the process, including these spasms of senatorial haughtiness, and wondered: Is there more to this team than we thought? Great depth, more decency, honor and hope? The tables have somehow begun to turn. Senate Democrats cannot digest reality. Exhaustive witness preparation and performance tells you what lies ahead. It is funny that we keep hearing that Trump is an impulsive goofball, but it’s the Democrats who can’t seem to restrain themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Liz Warren once vouched for school vouchers. “Top Trump critic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who’s expected to grill Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos tomorrow — once advocated school choice much like the woman she is likely to grandstand against. . . . The Harvard Law professor proposed giving students vouchers to attend any public school they wanted in an attempt to eliminate the current system that often necessitates that students live in a pricey community to attend a good public school. ‘The whole concept of “the Beverly Hills schools” or “Newton schools” would die out,’ she wrote of the vouchers.” Related: Is Cory Booker Turning Opportunist? If he opposes Betsy Devos, his former ally on school choice, he’ll reveal himself as a garden-variety partisan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 From Twitterverse today, regarding the confirmation questions for DOE nominee Betsy DeVos. Schumer: What do you say to struggling schools? Devos: Go forward. Move ahead. Try to detect it. It's not too late. To whip it. Whip it good.

Maybe Mr. Retard would be better, lol. Anyway, Dems will argue that Oil Baron Rex Tillerson is behind the rise in gas prices. I think he is. As soon as he was announced as Sec State nominee, prices started rising. Ripping off America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Anyone else notice how gas prices are rising? $4 a gallon would be awesome! Well, here in the cesspool that is PA, the reason our gas is so bloody expensive is another 15 cents worth of tax on a gallon to raise it to 75 cents per gallon. Yes. Our gas taxes are now higher than pretty much everywhere else. Thanks Tom Wolf, you liberal asshat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't take long. And you just had to mention the "Crony Express" didn't you. Make that an 85% increase. http://www.breitbart.com/california/2017/01/15/gov-brown-wants-42-gasoline-tax-increase-bailout-calpers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a serious WTF moment a couple days before Thanksgiving driving down 12th Street after my Dad picked me up from the Airport. I couldn't believe how much higher it was in Erie, and then he told me the gas tax was going up after New Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe how much higher it was in Erie, and then he told me the gas tax was going up after New Years. I live in Chautauqua County. I used to get gas in PA whenever I could because it was about .25 a gallon less and was pretty much identical with what was on the reservation in Salamanca. I was in Irving last Saturday and gas was $1.75 but $2.19 in Salamanca earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
