Agnotology

Used previously and quite successfully by the smoking industry, now applied to climate change (denial) and Rump.

Other things being equal, higher costs must lead to higher consumer prices or reduced shareholder profits.

Trump will have a difficult time explaining this to the trailer-dwellers in Alabama when they complain that the price of a 60" TV at WalMart now costs more than they make in a month.

So in the process of Trump and his team wanting to get every single Obama appointee out of their offices on Jan. 20 this is going to happen.

For the first time in it's history, the National Nuclear Security Administration, which is the federal agency responsible for the security of US nuclear weapons, will have no leader.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing. Eric Trump will be standing by.

It would seem that one of Trump's senior advisors, who is a specialist in communications, doesn't know how to make attributions in her 'writings'.

Perhaps she also helped with Melania's speech at the RNC....

Rump transition team response:

“Any attempt to discredit Monica is nothing more than a politically motivated attack that seeks to distract from the real issues facing this country.”

How to remove Rump from office

Opening paragraph:

"Donald (Rump) is a one-man basket of deplorables. He is a braggart and a liar. He is a bully and a demagogue. He is an ignoramus and a deadbeat, a chiseler and either a sincere racist or an insincere one, and his love for himself is matched only by my loathing of him. He is about to be president of the United States. A constitutional coup may be in the offing."

It would seem that the publisher, Harper-Collins, does not want to perpetuate the situation.

Re: Donald Rump - singularly unsuited to be POTUS

So how possible is it that alll of the mounting information and stories linking Trump to Russia in highly illegal ways is just sour grapes from the other side?

This whole thing is getting very much a where there is smoke there is fire feeling to it.

The latest of course is the FBI reporting that Russia holds personal and financial information on Trump that would compromise him.

The big picture of Trump and his associations with Russia, Russian organized crime figures, Russian oligarchs, is clearly showing a decades old pattern of ongoing interaction.

Am trying to not be too tin foil hat on this but with every passing day it is appesring more likely Trump has a much longer and deeper connection to Russia than almost anyone would have conceived possible.

Re: Donald Rump - singularly unsuited to be POTUS

Where's that thread on how long until he's impeached?

My guess is that the band won't have finished playing.

I'm getting less concerned about what Trump will do in his 15 seconds of fame, than the relish with which Congress seems intent on reversing everything Obama ever did.

This political polarization needs to end somehow if the US is going to be a factor this century...

Re: Donald Rump - singularly unsuited to be POTUS

Whoa!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html

'...Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump...'

So Russia now is blackmailing the new POTUS.
