Now we’ll be hearing all of the things the MSM should have said about Obama.

No forgetting.
No forgiving.
No mercy.

The left declared war to the knife and knife to the hilt decades ago. Now they got it.

Elections have consequences.

“We’ve got 8 years of this crap coming up.”

Make that 16. President Pence scares them even more than Trump.

“Drain the swamp!!!” That phrase engenders fear and loathing in the slimy denizens of the swamp, who have made a handsome living ripping off struggling US taxpayers. Would these idiots rather have had a violent solution by defenders of the Constitution?

WaPoo needs to get over the delusion that it publishes news.

Media keeps trying ways to shut Trump up; media wants to keep him from talking directly to the people. But nothing works: Trump just ignores them and keeps on doing what needs to be done.

The Washington Post used to be an important part of my life.

It served as a liner for my cat’s litter box.

I lost my cat, now I have no further use for it!

Should Trump Help Americans By Moving Jobs Out Of D.C.?

Kyle Sammin of The Federalist doesn’t think Donald Trump’s trade changes and tariff plans will effectively and quickly change the jobs’ climate in the Midwest, despite the president-elect raising expectations for new life in the manufacturing sector.

The way to boost jobs in the Midwest, Sammins writes, is to “Drain the Swamp” by moving federal government jobs out of the D.C. vicinity ... federal agency jobs is the key, he says in this piece:

But even if tariffs on China and other developing world countries do stimulate manufacturing job growth in the United States, the effects will not be immediate. If Trump wants to increase employment in the states he took from the Democratic column in 2016, there are other ways to do so. Most times, when a President says he created jobs, what he means is that jobs were created while he occupied the White House. Maybe he worked with Congress to make conditions more favorable for job creation, but more often he is just the beneficiary of worldwide economic trends.

The exception to this is in the creation of jobs through actually hiring people to work for the federal government. Here a President can actually affect the number and, more importantly, the location of the jobs the federal government provides. The best way for Trump to enact a better federal employment program that is fiscally conservative enough to satisfy a Republican Congress, therefore, is not to create more federal jobs but to move existing ones away from the Washington area and out into the rest of the country, especially in those areas that have been hurt most by long-term unemployment.

Just read the comments section.

Is there a way to read the comments without a subscription to the Washington Post? Does everyone commenting here on FR have a WaPo subscription? Or is there some other way to read it?

Marcus is peddling the same crap the democrats did in 2001: The GOP must “reach out” to the democrats. It’s all BS. If they want to deal, let them approach the throne with their best offer.

My focus in on interpretation of law and legalese, not necessarily on communication of these ideas in written communication with syntax.

Fact is, I have a severe distaste for typing as it slows my mind down way too much and hinders thought processing. Always have had this aversion since early childhood.

Even took journalism classes in college to try and overcome this, to no avail.

Mr. Trump needs to spike the ball in each end zone until January 20, 2017.

We’ve come full circle. Conservatives were supposed to be fulminating over how liberals are in bed with “them russkies,” and liberals were supposed to be the ones trying to “get on with the people’s business”. Will they start blaming stuff on additives in the drinking water, next?

July 27,2016

Donald J. Trump held a news conference Wednesday morning during which he challenged Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s missing email correspondence and made extensive comments about United States-Russian relations. Here are highlights of what he said:

On allegations of Russian computer hacking and Mrs. Clinton’s emails

“By the way, they hacked — they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted because you’d see some beauties there. So let’s see.”

Here are Trumps exact words:
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails.

Trump was told that the Russians were hacking Hillary’s emails. So Trump told the Russians to look through what they stole and provide the emails to the public. That is not asking them to conduct espionage, it is asking them to share what they have already stolen. That is a big difference.
