TRUMP FAMILY TRANSITION THREAD - Countdown week 8 (November 25-December 1, 2016)
Friends | November 25, 2016 | DollyCali

Posted on 11/25/2016 4:07:00 AM PST by DollyCali

WELCOME TO THE TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN

TRANSITION. We are in the third week since the election until the Inauguration

SEVERAL picks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way

This week the country loudly let the PEOTUS know mittens was not on most favored list. Trump let the media know they were NOT on his most favored list. A snark designer who helped keep MO tacky advised other designers to stay away from Melania professionally. We ate too much probably on Thanksgiving and we possibly weren't appreciative enough of the blessings in this life.

For years, my husband used to really like Dolly Parton.

Until this election cycle, when Ms. Parton came out in support of Clinton.

Now he finds her to be ugly in the extreme!

Lol! I do run circles around my husband!

Oh my gosh! When he’s walking ahead of me - aaaagghhh!!!! He just naturally walks so much slower than I do!

Often I put my hands on his shoulders and gently move him to the side and then zip around him! Lol!

That ruckus in Chicago when Trump was there for his rally was deliberate and sponsored by the Hitlery goons. I doubt very much they’re still being sent out - although Soros would still be active.

Hmmm.

I have no idea what “donks” means.

Maybe my dictionary app is inadequate?

Just received this in an email.

Anti-gun activist David Petraeus is under consideration for the position of Secretary of State in the Trump administration.
Although Petraeus seldom speaks publicly on domestic issues, he hates guns so much that he teamed up with anti-gun leader Mark Kelly and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, to co-found the Veterans Coalition for Common Sense, an anti-gun organization devoted to “do[ing] more to prevent gun tragedies” by “urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws.”

Not surprisingly, the Leftist media is elated that a gun-hater like Petraeus might be awarded the top Cabinet post by Trump.This is true even though Petraeus, in November 2012, resigned as CIA Director and pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to a biographer with whom he was having an extramarital affair.

But Petraeus’ “Clinton-like” disregard for American security is the least of his problems.

As Secretary of State, Petraeus would play a key role in deciding whether to remove the U.S. from the UN Arms Trade Treaty (UN ATT). This agreement would mandate gun registration, and would authorize comprehensive gun bans — all goals supported by Petraeus’ colleagues Kelly and Giffords.
Petraeus would effectively decide whether to push for ratification of the anti-gun UN Small Arms Treaty.

Finally, Petraeus would have jurisdiction over the international trade (ITAR) regulations. Under Clinton/Kerry “guidance,” these regulations have been expanded to outlaw gunsmithing. In addition, a gun technician who communicates “how-to” information about guns on the Internet (without purchasing a $2,250 State Department license) could be prosecuted and imprisoned.

You can read GOA’s comments against these anti-gun State Department regulations here.
http://www.gunowners.org/fs08092016b.htm

If anti-gun Patraeus is nominated and confirmed, we can expect these policies to be continued and expanded.

Donald Trump was elected with the broad support of members of the Second Amendment community. We believe it would be a huge mistake to begin his transition by putting an anti-gun activist in a position whether he could regulate and ban guns.
Please contact President-elect Donald Trump at info@donaldtrump.com. Ask him to reject the idea of nominating anti-gun activist David Petraeus to the post of Secretary of State. You can copy-and-paste the pre-written letter below to email Trump.

-—— Copy-and-Paste this Letter to President-elect Donald Trump -——
Dear President-elect Trump:
I understand that anti-gun activist David Petraeus is under consideration for the position of Secretary of State in your administration.

But I agree with Gun Owners of America that Patraeus would be a disastrous choice.

Although Petraeus seldom speaks publicly on domestic issues, he hates guns so much that he teamed up with anti-gun leader Mark Kelly and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, to co-found the Veterans Coalition for Common Sense, an anti-gun organization devoted to “do[ing] more to prevent gun tragedies” by “urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws.”

Not surprisingly, the Leftist media is elated that a gun-hater like Petraeus might be awarded a top Cabinet post. This is true even though Patraeus, in November 2012, resigned as CIA Director and pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to a biographer with whom he was having an extramarital affair.

Sir, you were elected with the broad support of members of the Second Amendment community. We believe it would be a huge mistake to begin his transition by putting an anti-gun activist in a position whether he could regulate and ban guns.

Sincerely,

Really? Wow!

It’s definitely one of my favorites!

Isn’t it fun to introduce young people to the things we love?

Just Curious but does any one know if KRISTEN POWERS left Fox News? and moved to CNN ?

Noticed she has not been on Fox lately, but then neither am I, as I tune in to Fox Business Network now, but tonight while watching Hannity, I saw her on a panel with Anderson Cooper...hair longer and more blond...but it was her...

JUST WONDERING...

Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen her for awhile.

I am not surprised that she’s not on O’Reilly. She couldn’t contain her disdain for him, as he was quite rude...but then, he’s rude to everyone.

THANKS for the answers girls...

as for USA NEWS...Total Liberal Bull sh** and Lies...the typical speech of B.Hussein Obama...plus throw in his FAIRY TALES he makes...

really surprised she would leave a cable network in FIRST PLACE for a losing network that has been in TURD PLACE for almost all of 2016...CNN is Boycotted in this palace, but I saw the clip of ANDERSON COOPER on Hannity show and that is where I spied Kristen...no love lost, as she was such a ‘flip flipper’ with an attitude...she loved to agree to disagree with Bill O.

Thanks again for the info...

Honestly, I can’t believe Kellogg’s is letting this happen.

Can’t they see that this boycott is going to be huge?

Lol!

In many cases, Liberals place their “high ideals” over profits.

The black female CEO of SamsClub is one such example. She is proud of placing her #1 priority of diversity OVER profits, and said so in an interview. If there are two candidates for the same job, and the minority candidate isn’t as well qualified, she chooses him/her because diversity is “more important” than profit.

She was the primary reason we chose not to renew our SamsClub membership this year.

I've been around a long time..just don't post as much as I use to...

So glad we have Trump in Power and the Crooked Crime Family in a world of great pain...

(by the way the photo's of Hillary since the election, I truly believe are photo's of ‘her so called double’ the mouth shows the difference between the two...the photo's in the ‘walk in the woods’ are for sure not Hillary Rodham Clinton...she could barley walk toward the end of her campaign so trust me, she is not walking in the woods...I'm old and walking in wooded areas are not for ‘us senior women’ I live in a wooded area, so I can attest to that...wink~wink) thanks for the post...
