You want a motto that will stand the test of time. That motto may not make it to February. Still...a Republican minority female on the international stage has to confuse the crap out of leftists.

DC Tom Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Still...a Republican minority female on the international stage has to confuse the crap out of leftists. Not at all. She's a Republican, therefore it's impossible for her to be a minority female. Condi Rice was never a black woman, either. SO TRUMP’S GOT THAT GOING FOR HIM, WHICH IS NICE: Dalai Lama: ‘I have no worries’ about Trump. He's not just a Buddhist, he's THE Buddhist. It's a tenet of his religion that he doesn't worry about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my full stance, here: http://betsydevos.com/qa/ I am impressed that after the initial announcement of school choice/ charter school advocate Betsy DeVos, when there came the inevitable criticism (to split conservative reaction and support) that she was an advocate for Common Core, there was no hesitation and she came out to correct the record right away. before the spin could take hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 But where does she stand on the question of the Judenfrage? I'm guessing that she wants to privatize genocide with public money, zero oversight and minimum wage unskilled labor. Because when you know better than the Jewish community what's best for them, you might as well make sure your allies enrich themselves in the process!

B-Man Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Obama Team In Despair Over Flynn PickNewsweek, by Marc A. Thiessen Original Article If you thought the handwringing among the cast of Hamilton over the impending Trump presidency was bad, it apparently does not compare to the growing despair among the Obama White House team. What has them most upset? The elevation of Steve Bannon or Jeff Sessions? No, it turns out that the most “devastating blow” was the selection of a fellow Democrat, Lieutenant General Michael Fynn, as national security adviser. So why are Obama aides so upset about Flynn, who Foreign Policy magazine reports “as a boy...would help arrange bus rides for Democratic voters on election days in his hometown.” Simple. Because he warned them about the danger of Barack Obama’s Iraq withdrawal and predicted the rise of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS). And then, after leaving his post as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), he called out Obama for failing to heed that advice.

B-Man Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Tom Price, Obamacare Critic, Is Said to Be Trump’s Choice for Health Secretary. If President-elect Donald J. Trump wanted a cabinet secretary who could help him dismantle and replace President Obama’s health care law, he could not have found anyone more prepared than Representative Tom Price, who has been studying how to accomplish that goal for more than six years. Mr. Price, an orthopedic surgeon who represents many of the northern suburbs of Atlanta, speaks with the self-assurance of a doctor about to perform another joint-replacement procedure. He knows the task and will proceed with brisk efficiency. Mr. Trump has picked Mr. Price, a six-term Republican congressman, to be secretary of health and human services, Mr. Trump’s transition team announced Tuesday morning.

(All estimates from 2014.) Look, just come out and say it. You’re only bothered by wealth cabinet appointees when the other party does it. Your team’s wealth is pure and well-earned, the other guy’s wealth reflects greed and avarice and ill-gotten gains. Everybody in one party is good and noble, everybody in the other party is evil personified, blah blah blah.Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/442577/good-heavens-weve-never-had-wealthy-cabinet-members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
