To be fair (as painful as it is to say that) WWE's stock holders had a moment of stupidity themselves when they thought Vince actually sold the company to Trump.

Is wrestling real? My that brings up memories … like waaay back when Geraldo Rivera was on 20/20 (yes I am that old.. old enough to remember when he was actually a respected investigative reporter) and was covering wrestling. The wrestler he was interviewing took offence and slapped him on side of head while asking "Is that real?!" ... from what I remember it was reported that the move damaged Geraldo's hearing in that ear.
One of the few times that there was a real move in wrestling.

Trump doesn't put over people easily it's a give and give some more world to him.

DOE telling Trump "No."
Can't wait to see his angry tweet at them.
This is it. This is what is keeping me up at night.
Not the idiocy, not the Russians, not even the racism.
It's the authoritarian streak. -

Ewww, Russia phobe over here!
Look at all these Cold Warriors around here. Even the Senate Republicans, gross.
Get with the times man. Kleptocratic faux populism is the next big thing, you can either hate it like a normal person, or lie to yourself about it like me! Your move bub.

I just can't believe he got this far. He's a repugnant, moronic and incompetent duck. We've topped the insanity of Brexit by ten fold.

When you spend seven years propagating lies and excusing people being assholes for no reason proper don't be too surprised when a guy who revels in that behavior winds up running the table and succeeding…..due in no short part to a consortium of idiots, assholes, & self-serving morons who don't like doing their jobs or essentially give the guy a pass because they want to move up in the world.

Daniel Brezenoff's petition attempt at Change.org to get electors to not vote for Trump may or may not come to anything, but their letter to the electors is a good read=

Imagine if all the people who signed a worthless petition voted in elections.

sigh I know… we wouldn't even think of the thing or make it up then, if people were smart enough to vote. Only reason I posted that is the bullet points in it are good.
I really wish people would vote when they are able.

Careful what you wish for though, people who do vote not too often drop the ball by voting for shitty candidates or candidates who don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Yeah it'd be a shame if some enterprising individuals with legitimate reasons opened an investigation into his actions with classified documents and intel.

It's actually kind of impressive how every fake scandal that came up about Hillary during the primary and campaign is actually represented in the Trump Cabinet.
Complicating things since 2009.

Even marching bands aren't showing interest in the inauguration.

Its almost like Trump's means of picking someone for a position is if the person goes against what the position is for.
Even marching bands aren't showing interest in the inauguration.
So far they found one person to sing= Jackie Evancho .
Donald Trump Books at Least One Singer for InaugurationI had to go look to see who Evancho is, a former “America’s Got Talent” contestant and only 16 yrs old. Maybe her youth will protect her from the bad choice that A-List top performers are avoiding.

The media will pretend that it's perfectly normal.
North Carolinian troops have just crossed the South Carolinian border.
If they attack anyvody, it'll be Virginia. They need to liberate the Southern counties from the aggression of their North Virginia overlords

Report Says Putin Was Directly Involved With Russian Interference in the U.S Election.
Well this makes me happy. Remember the birther movement? Remember one of the guys involved in that? Remember how is was kinda racist? Well, if nothing else comes from this, I want Trump to suffer something like that near the start of his term.
Heck, I am actually willing to give him a chance. I hope the guy defies expectations and does a good job. Doesn't mean I like the guy.
-
@That:
Putin’s objectives were multifaceted, a high-level intelligence source told NBC News. What began as a “vendetta” against Hillary Clinton morphed into an effort to show corruption in American politics and to “split off key American allies by creating the image that [other countries] couldn’t depend on the U.S. to be a credible global leader anymore,” the official said.
Mission accomplished, Bond Villain Putin.
Big question now is what's the best case outcome with these bipartisan investigations. -

He's still a spineless coward who publically humiliated himself for a cozy job. Everything said about him in 2012 about being a flip-flopping empty suit turned out to be true.

Scrooge McDuck would be a fucking badass president. That dude is actually a self made man, scraped and earned every single dime with his own effort, beat up robbers, tangled with outlaws, defeated sorcerers, solved mysteries and rewritten histories, spent time in hardship and poverty, added greatly to the archeological findings of the world, and has successfully run hundreds of buisnesses… and while spending decades travelling the world and getting to know people including interactions with many past presidents. He's even been to outerspace, so he appreciates the sciences and would certainly keep Nasa funded.
He's been a bit of a pennypincher in recent years and he'd be against a minimum wage increase sure, but he'd absolutely get the budget in check to the penny. Everything would get funded exactly what it needs. The duck has astounding principles and values, and he is a big softie at heart. He's smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies, hell yeah I'd vote McDuck. Republican, Democrat, or Independant, he's where it's at.
Sadly, not a U.S. born citizen, being born in Scotland would keep him from running. Alas.

@CCC:

Big question now is what's the best case outcome with these bipartisan investigations.Best case scenario is that combined with other factors leads to us getting "faithless" electors in a couple days and anyone other than Trump gets in.
I agree with the fact that they don't have to jump ship to Hillary but… at least go with a somewhat moderate Republican instead. If a bunch of Hillary voters were to switch to that as a compromise? It'd be SOMETHING. (And with a dem as VP? Never happen but bipartianship would be nice.)
It's pretty much a pipedream, I just can't seen a whopping 37 people having the morals and decency to make the switch. But hey, every damn thing about Trump has been surprising. And one of them has already said they wouldn't vote for Trump. (They have not said they'd vote for Hillary.)
Trump is just such a nightmare scenario. Any republican will do damage and set us back in a fully controlled house and senate, sure... but Trump is a full blown disaster.
Second best scenario is Trump gets impeached and taken out of office immediately or removed via the 25th ammendment or any of the other available stopgaps. Sadly, in that case, no matter how short his stay, he'll still make it into Disneyworld's Hall of Presidents.

I'd like to emphasize, "a bit." I'm more happy that Trump didn't quite get his way here. I'm also not holding it against Romney for going through the interview process for the job, although admittedly it sounds like Trump made this process difficult for him.
