i didn t get a good feeling about HHS sec nominee, pruitt


i will admit that i don t know much about the fellow, but i got a bad feeling from his hearing.

swamp creature?

he didn t strike me as honest.

he , and the epa guy are the only two that i m really unsure of.

DeVos concerns me a bit, but only because of her silver spoon life and likely lack of knowledge, and empathy, regarding the lives of the 99%

[Big RR]

And those concerns about DeVos don't extend to Trump?

[wesw]

not at all.

he has lived a real life.

it s like comparing Louis the XIV to Charlemagne

[wesw]

well, I won t say not at all, but not as much

[Crackpot]

So much for surrounding himself with the best and brightest eh?

Fred Reed introduces a note of reality.

Perhaps the Donald can make America Great Again by producing an international chain of golf courses. That seems to be the only thing the Donald manages successfully. The rest is owned and operated by someone else and the Donald rents out his name on the sign in front, including Trump Tower in NYC, where it is a condo and the Donald owns only the floors he actually occupies.

For all of the 19th century and much of the 20th the USofA was not the dominant international power, financially or militarily. Life was not so bad under those conditions, compared to other nations.

The rest is owned and operated by someone else and the Donald rents out his name on the sign in front

How do I get a piece of that action?
the renting of my name, not the owner/operator part

Trump and his minions are going to have a field day with this one:

Migrants race to reach US before Trump takes over

Sasabe (Mexico) (AFP) - Migrants trying to sneak into the United States from the parched Mexican desert have to contend with border guards' drones overhead, poisonous snakes underfoot and human trafficking gangs at their backs.

But these challenges are nothing compared to their bigger fear: that someday soon, US President-elect Donald Trump will build a wall to keep them out altogether.

So before Trump takes office on Friday, they are racing against time, riding a freight train up to the border to look for a way across.

In the town of Caborca near the frontier, a group of Hondurans warm themselves by a fire of trash in the early morning cold.

One of them, Wilson, a 48-year-old builder, missed the birth of his daughter to make the journey. Getting to the United States before Trump takes control was more important.

"When I saw that man on the television saying how he hated migrants and was going to build a wall, I thought: 'It's now or never," said Wilson, who would not give his last name.

"So we all spent Christmas and New Year traveling to try to get here in time. We want to beat him to it."

Mexican authorities are arresting thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of undocumented migrants each month, according to government figures.

Governors of several northern states this week called for extra resources to deal with the surge.

The Republican campaign to spread hate and fear of immigrants has been based on a lie for a long time:

I guess the governors of some northern Mexican states have joined the Republican campaign of hate and fear:

[wesw]

yes, more Mexicans are leaving, but the entire population of central America is flooding over the Mexican border

[oldr_n_wsr]

And how does Mexico deal with illegals crossing their border?

[Scooter]

I certainly haven't heard them say that they are going to build a wall that someone will pay for.

[wesw]

as long as you are on your way here they don t mind....
