The next time I watch CNN it will be because a new owner is committing to objective, thorough journalism and fires 99% of their “reporters.” Otherwise I don’t watch. I’m 70 and not holing my breath.

I’d just say....I don’t want to give YOU anything....I’ve been exposed to the flu, a cold, blah, blah, blah....course I once said I “was sick” to a woman who wanted to shake my hand...she said...”SO AM I!” That was after the service where the greeter at my Mother’s church at Christmas Eve service was coughing and slobbering over everyone as they came in the door...my elderly Mom and her husband got REALLY sick. A local contractor we happened to talk with a couple months ago told us he tells his church members he does NOT shake hands during winter.

“I’d just say....I don’t want to give YOU anything....”

LOL! We’ve milked that one for about as long as we can. Have even considered foregoing services and watching Charles Stanley at home on TV.

That’s an excellent idea! If it doesn’t always work, small devices the size of a fat pen can be gotten that contain alcohol gel and will fit into even a little handbag. I hate getting sick over the holidays. I suspect that I’m not alone. :)

Just offer them a hug...instead. Hands are just soooo...susceptible to germ transfer. Or, start wearing gloves!

Here’s Jake Tapper reporting on the allegations:

Published on Jan 10, 2017
“Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.”

“with the podium - “Office of the President-Elect”

Disappointing, yes. But in the scheme of things, not that big a deal. The oress conference was brilliant. Trump was brilliant! That’s all that matters.

“I don’t like picking someone who is already part of the VA problem. But hopefully Trump puts the hammer down”

IMO, you should not have even the slighest concern that President Trump will not hold all his appointees accounable ti the highest degree.

Oh I agree. Despite what others think if one dares criticize Trump, I’m not going to support Hillary or anything like her.

But I just hate turning on the TV and seeing that farce.

I would think it’s to “clean the slate” Obviously Trump wants to avoid ANY & ALL appearance that the 30 existing deals were influenced & profited by Trump being POTUS. It seems, in light of all his actions taken, he’s accomplished that. Quite amaxing.

“As bad as the VA situation was before he was placed, would it not make sense that Obama would have wanted to get a name in there, whether he would have any tangible effect at all, that would have given the illusion he picked somebody with credibility. It is just he was most likely given a mushroom (kept in the dark and constantly fed BS) office as a placeholder and a name to try and deflect the mountain of horrible PR.”

I like the way you think. Sounds like a very likely scenario! And didn’t Trump say he interviewed like 100 people for that job before choosing him? If so, the guy must have quite a resume & is quite an impressive guy. And rest assured, Trump will be holding all his appointees responsible & on a short leash. Trump means business! (Hey, they might have been a great campaign slogan! ;)

I was alive then, in the 1950s and 1960s, and had many pairs of gloves. The hippy thing started around 1968 where I lived. Then women stopped wearing hats and gloves when they went out.

His refusal to answer the CNN reporter is AWESOME! I think it was a great teaching moment for ALL reporters and they understand they play fair or they get no access.

Recall how Trump shut down the LaRaza guy during the primaries....a classic

“Sit down, you weren’t called. Go back to Univision,” Trump said as Ramos tried to ask a question that the candidate saw as being out of turn. Trump continued to shut down the Mexican-American journalist, leading Ramos to be escorted out of the room by security.
