Egyptian officials scrapped a plan to proceed with a United Nations Security Council vote condemning the construction of Israeli settlements, following pushback from Israeli officials and President-elect Trump.

Saw this earlier today and it was in before Obutthurt pulled his stunt on the immigrant registry. What a joy it will be to be rid of this petulant putz. How much ya wanna bet someone has a strategically isolated thumb drive. If the file is erased, then federal records destruction comes into play.

Sessions is going to be a very busy man.

Yes, it is remarkable. It is extraordinary to see a 70-year-old man so engaged in the Presidency before he even takes office. He is so willing to use his political capital when necessary, without squandering it on petty aspects of revenge.

I marvel at his ability to hold together so many open items, and never drop the ball. President-elect Trump truly is amazing.

Reagan didnt get this kind of respect, even with the American hostages, they werent released until after he was officially in office.

Trump has made a difference and he wont be in charge for a month.

How does the current administration explain this?
