President-elect Donald J. Trump is moving to repudiate vast parts of President Obama’s domestic agenda as he fills his cabinet with conservatives who have long records opposing the current administration on social programs, wages, public lands, veterans and the environment.

Mr. Trump’s selections to lead the Education, Commerce, Justice and health departments — and the names under consideration for other federal agencies with broad authority over the lives of Americans — have cheered Republicans in Washington, who have spent eight years battling Mr. Obama’s administration.

“It’s a recognition that elections have consequences,” said Thomas M. Davis, a former congressman from Virginia, who said he was impressed by the ideological philosophy of Mr. Trump’s domestic agency appointments. “Republican philosophy says markets can do a better job. It’s a huge clash with Obama.”

“housing programs intended to end segregation”

After being applied with billions of dollars backing them for the past 50 years and the inner city is in worse condition, most sane people would say that these programs have failed completely.

Trump brushes his teeth.... New York Times: “Trump channels Hitler’s ideology and will govern from the far, far, far, alt-right (and will kill puppies and kittens)!

I was not wildly impressed with Carson as a presidential candidate. However, he’s a guy with a big institutional background, even if he doesn’t have a government background or a ton of charisma. I think he’ll do okay.

But....excuse me...”governing from the right”? I don’t think so.

LOL! I have b*tched about autocorrect in the past in some of my posts and some less-than- charitable Freepers post back to me "It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools."

Then again I like to post while drinking at a bar.

asshat

A person, of either gender, whose behavior displays such ignorance/obnoxiousness that you would like to make them wear their own ass as a hat.

Usage: "Can you believe that my boss is making me stay until 9 pm on a Friday!?" "What an asshat."

“Carson Is New Sign Trump Plans to Govern From the Right”

Who woudda thunk it, hey? I mean that President Trump was gonna govern “from the right”, right? Since NYT and pretty much every one else was thinking President Trump was gonna govern “from the left”, uh, I mean “from the middle”.

Glad to have the Ben Carson sign though, because I was pretty confused about how President Trump was gonna govern. Now I’m not. Confused that is. At least about how President Trump’s gonna govern.

[Mercat]

What! They expect him to govern from the left?

[V K Lee]

And when those chosen begin to see results of their efforts,
Mr. Trump President Trump will praise and congratulate them, giving them edification - thus making them leaders-to-be of the Republican party. This is something Zer0 never learned. Thus....the democrats have few players sitting on the bench ready to take the reins

i don’t think it’s just about ideology. I think the left is afraid Trump’s cabinet will be so competent, efficient and effective in so may areas that the vast majority of low-info Americans will finally see how inept and corrupt the Obama Administration has been.
