Beware the House Republicans!

Trump, in this pre-inauguration period, is sounding like he has got all his shit in one bag and is going to make American business march to the beat of his drum....or so he would have you believe!

What MOST people are forgetting is that America is NOT a parliamentary system (whereby the leader and their cabinet simply say what is going to happen, make it happen, people have to live with it for upto 6 years, and I find they didn't like it they elect the other guys) or (shocker!) the Monarchy Trump appears to be acting like it is.

No, it is a Republican Democracy, where power is split three ways, and King Donald is but the bully with the megaphone. First, he has to get his SCOTUS pick through Congress. That might actually be interesting to watch, because while Trump is a Democrat, he has vowed to put a Republican on the Court FOR LIFE, which he might not completely like. Then again, with his kind of money and newfound power, it is not like SCOTUS picks will ever cause him any concern!

Second, he has to deal with a Republican Congress, more specifically, a Republican HOUSE that ACTUALLY represents all those millions in the hinterlands that Trump lied to to get elected. THEY are REAL CONSERVATIVES, many of who, have real, serious Tea Party credentials...with the leader of their caucus the last man standing before Trump became the nominee. Do you think THAT GUY doesn't have a few bones to pick with the new Fibber in Chief?

Yes, there will certainly be issues upon which they both agree. Organized labor is going to feel it in the shorts! "Right to work" legislation, one of those American oxymoron type movements like the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts that lowered standards, which eviscerates union membership is number one on the business agenda and the Koch Brothers are approaching mutual climax at just the thought of all the states in which this legislation might get passed, even without a Federal drive to undermine unions.

However, the Tea Party has one overriding imperative....stopping spending our tax money and give it back to us while not raising the debt ceiling. Given even the shallowest measure of what Trump is proposing, this gets blown out of the water and into orbit! An arms race? Just UPDATING the nuclear Arsenal was paegfed at $1 TRILLION before he won the election. If he wants bigger and better, add a zero?? Want to give business and the wealthy the largest tax cut in history...even larger than the one that Bush II gave that almost bankrupted the nation while undertaking two wars...so far conservative estimates are talking in the TRILLIONS.

But, not to worry, Trump is going to fix that plan for two flying fortresses that have to stay aloft forever, not be affected by an airborne atomic explosion and EMP, and also be in communication with anyone in the world at all times, while evading enemy missiles, etc...by skimming a few million off the top to make him look like a bad ass!

Yeah, I think I've seen this story before. It will not end well for someone, though I doubt it will be Trump, who knows how to spin even the worst news to some Pyrrhic victory.

America...good luck to us all!

No worse an accusation than the previous reptiles, jeez what do you want from a bunch of terrorists. You make it sound as if the septics have contributed to the world in the last 30 years of lyeing and terrorising the innocent.

Could it be because they are in large part responsible in the first place for the mess ?.

The f*cking bureaucracy fuels itself by making everything as difficult as possible thus requiring yet more of the f*ckers.

The media has either sat silent or worse colluded with big business and government while corruption and double dealing has become commonplace.

The Universities have become a place where education takes a poor second place to political correctness and entitlement, the breeding ground of "Generation Snowflake".

Its long past time that government departments learned that they are there to serve the public, the media exposed the wrongs evenhandedly, and Universities teach for the real world, and Trump could well be the kick up the arse these organisations need.

I've not been remotely impressed by Trump since. As yet, he's still a better option than Clinton (I think). If good relations with Russia, why need to expand on an already large capability?

He does seem to have a hard on for China.

Or simply, $$$?

Always find it ironic that Nixon's misdeeds were by-and-large exposed by Bob Woodward . . . a card-carrying, ex-Navy officer Republican. Okay, so Bernstein is a counter-culture liberal, but still -- there's no doubt who the smarter of the two are and who was most responsible for the best work.

Generalizing about the media seems very silly. It's not hard to find impartial sources; you just have to look harder.

Just watched the world report on the BBC Newschannel and I tell you Americans in places like the rust belt of Pennsylvania elected Trump and believe and expect the new industrial revolution the re-industrialisation of the USA on a scale similar to its post WW2 industrial boom. That expectation is destined to fall short if only because the rest of the world isn't there for their taking - question is what happens then? Back lash or just turn their back on mainstream US politics?

Donald Trump’s pick for commerce secretary Wilbur Ross has urged countries to take advantage of Britain while it is in the process of leaving the European Union, reports The Times.

found this...interesting "Ross has endorsed the "Trump trade doctrine", according to which any new trade must narrow the US trade deficit, boost manufacturing and support growth. The UK has a trade surplus with the US." lucky the uk has farage, hey? oh, maybe not
