As soon as I saw it I thought it was intentional.

Mindless snark makes your a$$ look big and your mind look small.

Truth be known, the entire South Carolina GOP congressional delegation is in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce cheap labor express. The state’s right to work economy has to have cheap labor to survive.

Where can I find the hat Donald was wearing today in Mobile? I've looked online at a ton of wannabes but no cigar, went to the "donaldtrump.com" site but they only have the white version. I want the red ones to give as Christmas presents.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Trump tweets—and China says they’ll return the drone:

(Though presumably having captured whatever tech they want to study from it.)

“At least now, people are going to know that China stole our drone. What an embarrassment for Obama.”

The media wants to make fun of the typo but can’t do it without bringing that up

I didn’t see much in the Trump campaign about reducing spending except for the “penny plan” and “waste, fraud and abuse”...now, we are getting somewhere

Yes...but those libertarians are very very good when it comes to cutting the budget. Most of the old school paleo-cons are very big spenders, earmarks, etc
Trump is putting together the pieces to this puzzle

Good. I know Mick and his family personally, and all he thinks about is whether or not the taxpayer is getting his money worth. Great family with great kids.

It’s old tech. China embarrassed itself.

I am a bit concerned about the confirmation hearings, but Mr. Trump is very smart, and these politicians are very dumb, and Mr. Trump has smart people advising him. I’m just going to wait and see what happens.

I’m kind of surprised to hear budget director has to get confirmed. I thought that was cabinet secretaries, FBI, and federal judges only.

The Trump admin proposes the budget, but Congress does whatever they want. Even the dems in Congress ignored Obama’s budget.

“In addition, he had been a minority shareholder and Owner-Operator in Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina, a privately held regional restaurant chain.”

Salsarita’s is good stuff and gets a high recommendation from rb.

“Mulvaney’s nomination follows a pattern of Trump turning to individuals with records apparently hostile to the agencies they are nominated to lead.”

That pattern alone is worthy of re-election....

My original comment was sardonic but I guess that flew right over your head.

The Senate confirmation hearings are going to be a wonder to see and hear. I wish I had time to watch all of every one of them. They are going to have to keep an ambulance crew standing by and a team of doctors to take care of the apoplectic fits that the Democrats are going to have.

Gotta admit - Democrats throw the best 'Pity Parties' of anyone... it's like drama queens on speed... Pull out the popcorn - it's gonna be fun.
