NEW YORK — Government Sachs is returning to Washington.
After a decade in the wilderness, Wall Street’s most powerful firm, Goldman Sachs, is dominating the early days of the incoming Trump administration. The newly picked Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, spent 17 years at Goldman. Trump’s top incoming White House adviser, Steve Bannon, spent his early career at the bank. So did Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump’s top transition advisers.

It's like those heist movies, where the cops get a veteran burglar mastermind to crack the toughest cases.

You've heard the old saying...

That would seem to apply here.

Apparently the fact that approximately 90% of everything that comes out of the man's mouth (and his Twit) is a bald faced lie doesn't much matter either.

Hillary is a piece of shit. Don't think I've ever inferred otherwise. However, she's less of a piece of shit than Trump. And you didn't give a fuck.Papa Willie wrote:To summarize:

Re: DRAIN THE SWAMP! DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Your whole basis for voting for Trump was Hillary's alleged corruption. Yet Trump is both a fraud and corrupt. But apparently you're cool with corruption so long as it's through the means of business but not government. That's an impressive level of mental gymnastics you underwent to justify your decision.88 wrote:Where are you going with this anyway?

What your're trying to say is that now Trump has been elected the only people who can legitimately criticize him are those that supported him.Papa Willie wrote:To summarize:

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

Wrong she is worse than Donald. Both are poor excuses for Humans but at least Donald provides a hope of something other than the been there done that. As a bonus he won't try to force the country to a far left position that mirrors California.Screw_Michigan wrote:

Hey. We have Mattis in as Secretary of Defense. Maybe now we'll actually have some D in the world. Imagine the sorority girl we might have had with a Hillary Clinton elected. I bet the mullahs in Iran are not happy----good.

It was Hillary as the water-carrier for PNAC that had Iran on their "hit list"...not Donald.
Trump is going to take a measured approach with Iran, as he will with Russia. The adults are in charge now.

Hillary was not qualified to be CinC. She's is too much of a hawk and too weak on defense.

This. She would have kept the status quo on refugees. No concern that we are taking 2500 refugees that Australia wouldn't admit. Then on top of that the State Dept decides to classify all the info on the group.Mikey wrote:

Yep, she was completely unqualified for the job.

How has this not been racked multiple times by now?
No matter the circumstance or veracity of the accusation, that meme will never get old or not be funny.

Roselawn Cemetery in Maitland, Ontario.

Actually this is where I'll end up. No that's not what really is on the columbarium. Apologies to "Spinal Tap" of course.
