We didn't berate her for her ties. We berated her for her lying and hypocrisy.


But I wouldn't expect anyone on the left to have enough mental discipline to figure that out.

Winners who crush others on their way up?

Anyone can google one of the names of those companies with the word layoffs and find out what been happening with them over the last few months and nothing Trump can do will change supply and demand facts with the F150.

Ah, charges of lies abound. Goldman Sachs, pillar of our society. "You guys" are a glutton for punishment.

Do not whine when the jobs Trump promised do not materialize. Don't whine when interest rates go up. And especially don't whine when the taxpayers have to bail out the banks...again.

We shall see what happens by the end of 2018.

In the meantime, enjoy Trumps's victory as if there were something in it for you. LOL!
Did your crystal ball tell you that Trump would win the election and that Republicans would win both houses of congress? No? Then perhaps it may not be that accurate.

But anyway, we've heard criticisms about every damn person Trump has considered for a cabinet post. So rich people are no good. Business executives are no good, financial executives are no good. Long-term U.S. Senators are no good. Former governors, current governors, former mayors, former ambassadors.....all no good. Military guys are no good. Guys from Breitbart News, whoa baby, the worst thing since Hitler. Former neurosurgeons are no good, Sarah Palins are no good. So tell me: who in the hell should he appoint to his cabinet?

That is the funniest statement so far. Even Putin must be laughing at how gullible we are in the grin and grip photos with Tillerson. He's one smart dude. China and Syria are among Russia's allies.

Anyone can google up anything. Here's a tip: It doesn't pass for argument.

As far as I know, criticizing Clinton for her Wall Street ties was a favored argument of Bernie Sanders supporters, not Trump fans or conservatives. Trump has been a prominent NYC businessman for decades, of course he has ties to Wall Street.

Well it is pretty easy to pick at appointees who hate the Department they have been nominated to run -

Betsy DeVos - Education,
Carson - HUD,
Ebell - EPA,
Tom Price - HHS
Rick Perry - Energy

No real issues with the credentials of the Military appointees except several are Hawks and wanted a hardline against Iran. - The Exxon/Mobil Chief, Tillerson, might be good; as for the others well not one is a slam dunk. At least Tom Price knows his business but hates Obamacare.

Given the current lineup we may be in for a dramatic remaking of the Federal Agencies but mismanagement is far more likely than huge cutbacks.
