Excellent post, thanks for taking the time to write/post it. Am trying to decide whether or not to send it to my two daughters, 18-20 years of age.
Imagine that: a non-politician being the best POTUS in decades.
Hope it happens and helps to put an end to career politicians.
Un-fking believable. Woman is so decimated about Trump's victory that she decides she can't date anymore, and then feels compelled to share her pain with the rest of the World.
At what point will these people start looking into the mirror?
There is no room for dating in this place of grief. Dating means hope. I’ve lost that hope in seeing the words “President-elect Trump.”

He was getting pretty rough on Schiff and told him he was using "weasel words". His popularity has emboldened him already and I think he will only become more fun as time goes on. Would love to see him get Joe Biden on there. Oh the things we would learn.
how so? Californians need those products also, not to mention if they actually intend to make a go of being independent they will most urgently need to use those domestic resources as bargaining chips, for "international" trade. Or perhaps you are meaning to infer that San Joaquin valley agriculture is dependent on Colorado river aqueduct supply. This is not the case, as that region of the state is supplied differently, by other resources, drainage patterns, natural run-offs, etc.
Still, would agricultural products from California become less available? Likely, but if you look at the waistline of our population exactly how much less do you think that would have to be before it ever became an legit problem?

In other words, "until somebody like Obama or Hillary Clinton is back in office, I refuse to participate in the breeding process." GREATEST NEWS EVER! MAXIMUM VICTORY ACHIEVED!
A fairly simple article that hits the nail on the head with what's going on in our country. And key Dems starting to come to terms with reality. Or, at least some of them.

INDIANAPOLIS — Robert James stood outside the Carrier plant just before the president-elect addressed workers at the refrigeration and heating assembly plant.
“I feel a great swing of emotions that go from disbelief to satisfaction that this is happening in our community. An area like this can go from a stable middle-class area to foreclosures and urban blight in the blink of an eye,” he said.
James would never dream of voting Republican: “For all of my life the Democrats have been the party of the working guy, had my back. But if I am being really honest, and this is tough to admit, but I can’t remember the last time they did anything to improve the dignity and value of my job” — a point that didn’t really crystalize for him until it became personal: Until his job was saved. By a Republican.
James, wearing a United Steelworkers jacket on that brisk afternoon, was in no way saying he’s found political religion in the Republicans. But the 57-year-old, African-American longtime Carrier employee did share the sentiment of many of his fellow co-workers, Democrats who didn’t vote for Trump but felt their party was disconnected from their lives.

I’ve lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with “Nasty Woman” written inside a red heart.

It was hard to find the fake news that shined a dim light on Hillary. You had to look for it. Meanwhile, Trump was vilified at every turn by our msm and accused of multiple rapes and sexual assaults. He was said to be a friend of Putin and have Russian ties and business interests. His wife was drug through the mud and I believe I read a story that insinuated that she may be a Russian spy. Where are the rape cases now? Why didn't these women follow up on their claims? We've known for years now where "fake news" originated. It was long before there was any such thing as the internet. It started when someone realized they could put pen to paper and sway the thoughts and opinions of others.
And so it begins...

AG Scott Pruitt head of the EPA. I love it. I know coal won't come back like it was, but it's future can be greatly improved and I think Trump and Pruitt will do it.
All these military guys, people with a backbone that you can count on, great choices. I can't remember when I have been more proud to be an American. Go Trump. Go Cats.
Agree on Tucker, he's great. You could tell that liberal chick wanted to claw his eyes out.

Yeah, Scott Pruitt was a direct F You to O'bama.
I'm all for clean air and water, as a child of the 60's I remember how bad the air was in Louisville, but the EPA overreached its authority many years ago. Too many regulations that do more fiscal harm than environmental good.
Good to see that actual science and not consensus science will be the order of the day going forward. DiCaprio can now fly all over the world in his private jet and motor around in his diesel powered yacht to warn us all of the dangers of burning fossil fuels with a renewed vigor. Congratulations Leo.

Tucker has to be careful how hard he smacks the Dems around. Part of why the media wants everyone to be PC and play nice is because it's how they have to operate to get the most controversial interviews to want to come back.
You burn some bridges and get a rep as to rough and Dems will never give him the time of day and at that point he is just a talking head.

Let the celebrations begin. Hopefully, Cardkilla, Albany and a few others on here follow her lead.
I know what you're saying. Might be a while before he gets another congressman to come on his show. They can't afford for people to see how duplicitous they really are. Folks like that chick will still line up though. They come about their duplicity the honest way, they're just dumbasses who actually believe they're right.
When Meghan Kelly jumps ship and shows her true colors I think they move Tucker to the 9 spot. Kelly has become unbearable. She goes after both sides, but her "feminist" spin recently going after Aires and Hannity/Orielly has shined her in a negative light. Not to mention her piggy backing Trump to increase her popularity.
Tucker Carlson would be a great replacement for O'Reilly when he retires.
Looks like Puzder will be the labor pick. Libs going crazy because he's against the notion of a $15 minimum wage.
Good.
Good.
Coming from an occupational health professional perspective I'm not sure most people really understand how important clean air and water are to the overall health of individuals and additionally the cost impact that pollution creates. I could cite estimated health costs of polluted air and water all day but I know no one here is that interested... Does the EPA have some specific regulations that are not effective and are overly burdensome to business, perhaps, and if so they should be dropped. However, do you want someone to take away legitimate protections just based on what the gas and coal companies want? For instance, to get around the clean water act, which did not allow companies to dump into navigable rivers and streams, companies started dumping into smaller streams or ditches that lead into the navigable rivers and streams. A new regulation was issued recently that stopped this practice. This is a regulation that the industry/Pruitt is trying to fight. The regulation increases costs for business but decreases health costs and the cost to things like the fishing/tourist industry which are greatly affected by pollution. Where does the increased health care costs land?.... The taxpayer. As with everything a balance should be struck and I hope this is not all about business and the health and welfare of the taxpayer is given priority.
I like the fact that people who say stuff I would say are now being elected to office.
I agree with yall saying Tucker should get the 9pm spot. If Fox wants to stick with a female, they could go save Tomi Lahren from that nutjob Glenn Beck. Shes basically a female Tucker, and shes hot as f***. Either one of those two would be great picks for the 9pm slot IMO.
True, no one here is interested. Especially the "estimated" costs as we are all to familiar with how certain self-interested parties either make up and/or inflate numbers. Such as the following, which is actually true:
"the cost of kangaroo flatulence could be upwards of $47 billion a year"
Key words, "could be." Well, yes--it could be. But it's probably more like $3.54/year. But it could be the higher number which makes the sentence true.
I'm not sure about Kangaroo flatulence but extrapolation of the increase incidents of respiratory related hospital visits near power plants or polluted areas versus the incidents where the air/water is tested and not as polluted certainly seems a little easier to estimate. For instance, if a lake is polluted and there is an increase in hospital visits related to water born disease. You may remember a couple of years ago there were blooms of algae on Lake Erie which were related to farm run off. This caused businesses in that area to close costing approx.3-4 million in just one weekend (just a small example). So while I'll agree that there are most likely some conflated figures there are also fairly concrete figures to support clean air and clean water.
nkyphatcat, I'm not trying to be a dick and this isn't personal. But....look at the bolded words in your reply and try to understand why so many people no longer put a lot of faith in "estimated" numbers supplied by self-interested parties. Just way too many instances of falsified reporting, extreme extrapolations, ifs, buts, etc.
No one wants to pollute our lakes, rivers and oceans. No one wants to senselessly harm animals or ourselves. But some degree of reason has to be applied and that's not happened in the last 8 years.
And as Rahm Emmanuel so famously said, "F'em, we got the votes"

If you listened to the MSM (Trump will cause the market to go down!!!!) you sure lost a lot of money lol.

Do you honestly believe Pruitt doesn't support clean air and water? He is against the EPA enacting rules that are essentially laws and bypassing congress to do so. Argue the argument at hand and don't create a different argument based on your own parameters and metrics.
Let's see if she qualifies for Primetime:
Smoking hot-check
Conservative-check
Intelligent-check
Young-check
Willing to take on libs-check
I don't know what Fox is waiting for: she's tailor-made for their audience.

Nobody is saying dump ALL regulations. But EPA making ranchers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to monitor cow farts is a bit extreme. And that is just one example, take off your Liberal shades and few the world with common sense for once.
