Under the Trump administration the E.P.A. Will officially change its name to the Environmental Pollution Agency.

Just don’t try to build a wind farm to generate electricity anywhere near one of his golf resorts . . . It destroys the view.

"I am all alone (poor me) in the White House.”

Trump actually tweeted this from his office in the White House today, along with an avalanche of other tweets criticizing the Fed chair, declaring the markets are in really good shape (he obviously hasn’t followed our IRA’s), condemning foreign leaders that don’t support his withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan, trashing Mattis, attacking Pelosi & Schumer, and blaming all democrats for the government shutdown he declared a week ago that he would be “proud” to take responsibility for.

Talk about the war on Christmas !

All we can wish for is a “Silent Night”.

“Let's face it, there is no other line of defense than Congress standing up as the co-equal branch of government” Goose

Yes, there is one even greater defense: active, informed, voter participation in the election process and post election constituent involvement in the activities of their elected representatives.

From my perspective, Zinke should also turn in his trident because of the disrespect he has shown toward the code by recklessly spending taxpayer money, working to ruin rather than protect the environment (his responsibility), and disregard for the team through overriding selfish behavior.

Just my opinion, but based upon the personality traits he has demonstrated, I doubt that he has guts to ring the bell and admit that he doesn’t have the strength to uphold those values.

Good riddance to Zinke who was merely a puppet for big oil to the detriment of the very basic responsibilities of the Dept. Of the Interior.Plus his wild irresponsible spending of taxpayer money for personal expenses.

I became aware of this about two weeks ago. I immediately went on the Dept. Of Interior’s website and wrote to Zinke to raise my concerns about these actions. I also wrote to both of my senators and congressman to voice my concerns.

It only takes a couple of minutes to do this. If you want to change the way things are going, you’ve got to get involved. We get the government we deserve.

“How LOW can you go?”

At least around another 500 points lower for the DOW today.

Remember when Trump was taking complete credit for the soaring stock market? I wonder why he hasn’t taken any credit for the current nosedive.

Yeah, but she matches with Trump’s criteria for appointing people to important posts in his administration: Inept, Unqualified, and in her case she used to be on Fox & Friends.

Perfect for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

By now it is clear that the primary prerequisite to be appointed to a cabinet level position in the Trump administration is incompetence.

Having lived and worked in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I believe it is fair to say that NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) happens with regard to political or economic matters regarding the kingdom without the full knowledge of the royal family . . . Especially the king and the crown prince.
