And, who, exactly do you think should be in his cabinet? Should he just take random people off the streets?

What "personality disorder" are you yammering about? Do you mean narcissism? Obama is a narcissist, too. In fact, it's a rare politician who isn't one.

To the OP---yes, libs are getting more and more unhinged.

Some are coming unhinged, but it's not the liberals.

The Republican cluster**** is one for the history books.

Trump is holding fake press conferences and trying to bluff his way out this whole Russia business. Wonder how long it will be until he threaten to sue us all.

Flynn forgot Trump is not yet president and is scurrying around with the Russian ambassador in violation of the Logan Act.

Republicans in Congress made an unsuccessful and humiliating stab at eliminating the independent Ethics Committee.

Now they're trying to figure what the hell to do when they repeal ACA.

The "fiscally responsible" GOP is proposing a deficit budget that will increase the national debt by $9.7 billion. Even their own members are calling them out on that.

Republicans have scheduled simultaneous hearings on Trump's cabinet picks without bothering to go through the ethics process vetting financials and so forth. His pick for Secretary of State can't recall whether his company lobbied for or against sanctions in Iran or whether a subsidiary did business in violation of U.S. laws.

To round out an already busy schedule, Republicans have been forced to hold Congressional hearings on Russia interfering in our election and quite possibly having incriminating information on Trump.

And Trump's inauguration is still a week away.

They still can't wrap their tiny, closed, minds around the fact that most of the voters wanted ANYONE except Hillary.

Speaking of tiny, closed minds... the fact is the majority of voters voted for Clinton. You know that right?

Trump won the presidency via the EC, but regardless of his claims of a landslide victory, best ever really, more voters actually voted Clinton than Trump. Three million more, as I recall.

By any chance, are you a liberal straight man setting up the opportunity for others to post the actual facts?

The majority of voters actually voted for trump. You see the individuals that vote for president are called electoral college voters. Trump got the majority of the voters and thus why he is going to be the 45th president.

Hang on to that. You may find comfort in this in the weeks and months ahead.

The majority of eligible voters, voted for neither.

But the majority of voters, voted Clinton.

The act of voting makes one a voter.

Just as one is not actually a dancer if one does not dance.

Nor is one a thinker if one does not think.
