STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Priebus; Reps. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Diane Black, R-Tenn.
Face the Nation host wearing purple revolution tie.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn, Panel
Caught the end of Ellison interview but looks like he can match Pelosi in partisanship.
Panel has a discussion on economics and budgeting, panel guest says Trump will face the worst economic situation. [Watchdog media shows up for work?]
Sunday morning talk is Democrats (who lost) lecturing Republicans (who won) on how how to make better choices.
It’s like the Philadelphia Phillies lecturing the Chicago Cubs on how to win... and moderators keeping a straight face. Chuck Todd can do better....
The msm/dbm has some new stuff to worry about with the New Media,that’s us and talk radio.
Here’s one worrisome thing from Breitbart.
The Old Media is toast they will never catch up to us.
It’s obvious to me that this is a game plan of the Dems, this notion that Trump needs to put his businesses in a blind trust.
Pence, on Face the Nation, has been handling this very well, asserting that the best legal minds will be consulted as concerns all presidential activities and possible conflicts with his businesses. He even told one pundit that there is a White House counsel specifically for this sort of thing.
Which is true and Pence also pointed out that Donald Trump has taken no salary, he has money, we who voted for the man have to give him a little leeway in terms of honesty, he is not trying to get rich via the presidency.
Which reminds me of the Clintons, need I say more?
But the libs are setting Trump up.
I can see the headlines now....
“Replacement for the Affordable Care Act said to be locating hospitals near Trump hotels.”
“New infrastructure building set to fix creaky bridge near Trump Tower.”
“Mexico giving commissions to interns working with Ivanka Trump for help on The Wall”
And on and on.
You mark my words fellow readers, American is going to get sick of all this and do something amass. Of course that “something” might be totally ignoring the fools like done at the election. No way are we, out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs, going to pay any attention to those whiny snowflakes through the upcoming holidays.
We like cats out here in la-la land. You can rarely herd us but when it happens, it happens big.
I am now watching Rand Paul on Face the Nation. He asserts he supported Trump because he was against the Iraq war.
It irritates men when people just shrug it off, saying the Iraq war was a mistake. And never mind George Dubya Bush who dared not ever defend himself or the party....but just why was the Iraq war a mistake?
Does anybody remember Saddam Hussein?
This guy was a bad actor and remember, the Iraq war began not long after the attacks of 9-11. The country, the world, was ready to rid the planet of terrorism until Valjar and Huma got in there but never mind.
We had to have flyovers of Iraq to protect the Kruds in the north, does anybody remember that? All because of one petty little dictator who had, it was believed, weapons of mass destruction.
And we all know that Saddam was such a nutjob, maybe he didn’t YET have weapons of mass destruction, at that time, but he would if given a chance.
And then, let’s not forget, Obama comes in and pulls everything out of Iraq leaving those nut jobs, Muslims make lousy governors and soldiers, to run the place?
I will agree that maybe Dubya got a little bullshitted about America being welcomed with open arms. Once those Iraqis got rid of Saddam they didn’t know how to govern fairly and democratically. They got all that oil wealth over there and a populace that was raised under a brutal religion.
Failure to see the bigger picture was the mistake but boom, they just say the Iraq was a mistake.
No it wasn’t.
How the Iraq war was “ended” was the big mistake.
Big tributes to Gwen Ifil all day today.
But I’ll be nice. She died way too young.
MEET THE PRESS host don’t seem able to conduct an interview that considers what any arguments from the Republican side would be if it doesn’t benefit the DNC and their talking points.
And after the ‘surge in Iraq’ many middle-east countries’ citizens voiced for a chance to vote, even Hillary acknowledged Libyan elections.
Fast-forward to today with Trump’s election I’d bet that individual freedom becomes a top issue and the Theocracies are less popular.
Yeah NBC and all its spin offs are a lost cause.They even ruined the Weather Channel where you used to be able to get weather. Now all you get is some dumb show usually about global warming or some other made up theory.
Looks like the Hamilton theater is getting a dose of righteousness after the BS they spewed the other night when our VP attended
Reminded of Obama telling Hillary’s campaign crowd to ‘focus’, in contrast Trump is focused on taking over the job of Presidency.
Besides; there are millions of black men and women who were born in the US to citizen parents, and who love their country. Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas and Alan Keyes for example.
Once they had provided their NBC bona fides, we would move on and ask other "racist" questions, like:
"What do you plan to do to fix the economy?"

I’m not a huge Alex Jones fan but he did do a great job on what he calls his most important broadcast ever.
That's a Reagan era concept, from his election map, regarding "Reagan democrats".
The RATs are now trying to steal it.
Saturday Night Live is a hard gig because contrived (scripted) humor is harder to pull off compared to spontaneous humor, and it does seem they will rely on mostly simple minds on the left to watch week after week, while also being reference on every bias Sunday Morning Talk Show...
I dunno, Pat.
No one was a bigger enemy of Saddam than me.
I spent a considerable amount of my military time opposing him and his regime. I would have certainly killed him had I been in a position to do so! Not that I was—but I did my time in Saudi under Operation Southern Watch. I had slept in Khobar Towers—before they got blown up.
But THAT happened in Saudi Arabia, from the home town terrorists in Al Qaeda; not Saddam.
I guess the fact the we waged war—without defeating Islamism—is the hardest fact for me to swallow. I fought the Soviets for most of my career; when they fell, things were looking bright—except for the Islamists.
But even during this time and before the invasion of Kuwait I hadn’t forgotten the Iranians and the illegal, act-of-war taking of our embassy staff, Lebanon and all the hostages scooped up, abused and murdered over time, Kaddafi and his antics—Lockerbie, Scotland, Operation El Dorado Canyon and the French and Spanish—our NATO allies—making us fly AROUND their countries to do what had to be done.
Still, and now with hindsight, I see that although Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, he did keep the Islamists at bay. So did the Shah. So did Kaddafi, once he got a taste of our sword. So did Mubarak. And so does, to an extent, even to this day, King Hussein of Jordan, Kind Abdullah in Saudi Arabia... In fact, just about every country run by Muslims is a hellhole of either brutal secular dictatorship, or a brutal Satan-worshipping religious dictatorship bent on OUR conquest.
If I had to choose between these two realities, I’d choose the secular dictator every time!
Knowing that Saddam’s brutal Ba’ath party kept people like ISIS away makes me second guess what we were then thinking.
Toast!
I knew I forgot something. (just made myself breakfast)
Now it means, “I support riots” and the concept all Trump voters, appointees and Trump himself are racists. i.e. a divided America to preserve the Democrat base.
Seen a version this too, only I didn't watch Tapper, the collective continues on Democrat message as usual...never an independent thought.
