Team Obama keeps laying new land mines for Trump

For all President Obama’s claims to want a smooth transition to the new administration, his people have been laying plenty of land mines for Team Trump.

Some are plainly Obama’s doing, from that anti-Israel UN Security Council resolution to slamming the door on Cuban refugees. But the nastier ones — the Justice Department inspector general probe of FBI chief Jim Comey’s announcements on the Clinton email investigation, and the leak about that “Russian dossier” — have more deniability.

The Cuba move may be the most ironic, given fears on the left that Trump would close the door on refugees. Yet here’s Obama, denying to Cubans who flee the island dictatorship the protection — instituted by President Bill Clinton in 1995 — of legal residency if they make it to US soil.

All of those land mines will be defused once Trump takes office Friday.

Zero will go from being the most powerful man on earth to an absolute nobody.

Three more and the Baby party is out of power and so is the top baby. My niece has a 5 year old son, and I say this with complete honesty: That kid acts more mature than all of them put together. Never in my life have I ever seen so many adults walking around with the mentality of toddlers. “Waaaah! I’m not going to the inauguration! You can’t maaake me! Waaaah! It’s not faaair! Hillary should have won! Waaaaah” My God, just ultra ultra pathetic and it truly proves to me that liberals IS a mental disorder, it really is. That is not meant to be an insult, but just stating fact. These people are absolutely mentally disturbed.

Scorched-earth policy.

SOP for the retreating army.

Sappers will take care of them.

"Zero will go from being the most powerful man on earth to an absolute nobody."

Zero will always be a traitor to the United States of America. There is no statute of limitations for his actions.

Trumps very first statement after being sworn in should be: “All of my predecessor’s actions of the last 3 months are immediately revoked by executive order”.

3 more days until the inept, petulant, insufferable, incompetent, “you can keep
your doctor”, lying Barack Obama, for the mercy of the Republic, will be kicked
out of the office he was never qualified for. Hopefully the Trump team will hire
Servpro’s best teams to go into the White House and clean the place up “like it
never even happened” (BO’s presidency)

I think that Trump should toss out everything that Obama has done since election night that was done by executive order. he should not get into the reversing policies one at a time all that he does is play into Obamas hand if he examines witch policies to keep. what ever policy he cancels he will be vilified by the media.
