Oh boy. Also, he has chosen former Texas Governor, Rick Perry, for Energy Secretary. :twitch:
Perry saying he wanted to abolish the Energy dept
Scott Pruitt at EPA, a climate change denier
Jeff Sessions at the Justice dept who made a supposed racist comment 30 years ago
James "Mad Dog" Mattis at Defense dept (soon changed to the Offense dept)
Betsy Devos at Education, strong supporter of charter schools
Tom Price at HHS, very vocal opponent of the ACA (Obama Care)
John Kelly at DHS, anti-immigration
Ben Carson at HUD, saying at one time he wasn't qualified
Andrew Puzder at Labor dept, fast food executive and anti-union
Elaine Chao at Transportation, former Bush appointee and wife of Senator McConnell
Steven Mnuchin at Treasury, Goldman Sachs executive
confirmation hearings should be a blast
not to mention the next 4 years

What a election! I have never seen such cry babies in all my life.
I have to say the repubs have never acted as bad as the lefties as far as I can recall.
Wasn't it Hillary who condemned Trump for maybe not accepting the results. Guess it was only if she won.
Makes me sick to my stomach. And, Obama is acting like a ASS. Most work he has done. Trying to clear his record.
He can't stand the thought that Hillary lost because of his lack of concern for the USA.
John M. needs to take his old ass home and retire and so the rest of the Dem want to bes.
Tomorrow should be interesting.

Btw, Hillary lost on her own. The working class booted her off the stage.

I have heard quite a few Republicans whining for the last eight years about Obama. I guess people have forgotten about the Birther movement already and let's not forget about the Tea Party protestors a few years ago. I remember seeing protestors with signs comparing Obama to Hitler and accusing him of being a socialist among other things.
Both sides have people who think the world is ending when the other side wins. The Republicans now have the control of the Presidency, the House and the Senate so they have the power. I do not like the Republican establishment leadership nor Trump, but I accept the elections outcome.

I don't recall anyone having to go through therapy because Obama won.
I don't like Obama but I did not waste tears over him. He hung himself.
No, never has there been such outrage over a Pres. elect. Even the repubs (some) are against Trump.
What is wrong with America first. Jobs and a wall sounds good to me.

Jobs are indeed important right now. I know people who are looking for jobs and not succeeding. I see places struggling financially like where I live and I'm trying to do my part. I try to support programs that teach job skills and encourage businesses to move here. Thankfully, the economy is steadily growing, even though there is more that needs to be done. Also college debt is hurting a lot people coming out of school and trying to get into the workforce.
There are indeed Republicans who dislike him and see him as unfit to lead the country. I think there are some electoral college Electors who have said they will go faithless tomorrow when the electoral college casts their votes, some of them are Republicans who are considering voting for someone like John Kasich or Mitt Romney instead of Trump.
Politics - Lovely Linda - 19-12-2016
Good for you! We need more doing their part!
I would never vote for Mitt Romney.

come on people, we've had a year of Trump and Clinton in the news, lets put it to bed.....
