Why all the billionaires? Is this an homage to Putin's ring of oligarchs?

You are choosing to live there or would find other accommodations. As long as you are here and remain here it is preferable to alternative choices. Many people risking everything including their lives to get here. Something that most countries don't experience. Should you find it so distasteful that you leave the vacancy you create will be quickly filled. The show must go on !!!

Not everyone can be a star in the reality show and it must be disappointing when people realize they just don't have what it takes. Maybe trying to change a freedom loving people into a communist society wasn't the right approach for success. Trading in the white supremast for one of a different color isn't the attractive solution hoped for.

Interesting side note : Obama has pardoned over 1000 criminals. The only whites visable in the news being given a pardon were the two turkeys. Tater and tot were pardoned by the Black "Supremast" ( if that is a word ). Reality doesn't fit with the ignorant opinion being responded too.
Thanks for playing "race to the bottom". You are a champion.

The MSM is now irrelevant.

The election of 2016 proves this.

I hope he doesn't say his Supreme Court pick until after he takes the oath of office.

Expected deflections....or maybe you two just don't know anything about what it means to pick people who are qualified for positions in a presidential cabinet. Based on his picks, I am expecting this to be a rough four years for America....and I am sure we will see his cabinet rotate like a revolving door of bad idea.

I am sick of the biased liberal media. The only people who believe their news are themselves.

90% of the news is true.

80% from places like Fox and mother jones

So try to avoid them, look at other media, and FACT check what they say.

And no, its not the "liberal media". That is nonsense. Pretty much all the media is owned by the same small group of people. Only place I remotely trust is christian science monitor. And even them I try and fact check.

So. Problem. Its a TON of work trying to do that. So you have to hit or miss, and when a topic is lied about-recognize that once they start doing that on a topic they tend to continue. But so do the people on the other side.

Want to make intelligent choices? Make friends with intelligent people, who arent nuts, but do feel the need to...verify.

As for the original topic. Of course the news is, he is LITERALLY the most unpopular president in most peoples memories. And the house and senate....well. Lets just say Justin Beiber is more popular. AND for the first time in a long long long time, someone truly has all of the reins of power in their hands.

A LOT of folks are kinda nervous. And a lot of people who should be nervous based on Trumps running statements? Arent. Even George Soros looks to be getting some friends in the cabinet.

So of course the news is going to be chatting about them. And of course they don't stop lying. (And yes ALL sides). Sessions is not a raging KKK member. But he isnt some great guy either.

Sarah Palin for VA? REALLY? Are you people INSANE? Have you seen her do a speech lately? Look, she got the bad end of PR while running for VP. And....She wasn't that bad. But recently her speeches have turned into some horror to watch. Why are the people around her not helping her? Cause somethings wrong. She used to be pretty sharp. And you are going to put her in charge of the VA? So yeah...his picks are making the news because they tend to somehow manage to betray the very people who elected him, while also horrifying everyone else.

Hey media, we're not listening to you anymore - what part of that do you not get?

They're rendered irrelevant, and they can't cope with that apparantly.
