    Dissing a union leader after you failed to do what you promised doing and instead have Indiana spending money to outsource jobs, you're a loser.

    Union dues are not what's driving out jobs. Trump is a moron who needs a filter.

    I don't think they make those types of filters, no even for the space shuttle. ;)

    The part that annoys me is the reps on this board are the ones who harp on personal responsibility. Their president elect never takes responsibility for anything. It's always someone else's fault.

    Come on man, this isn't new, W and Cheney still haven't taken responsibility for the Iraq war. Oh and how many times have you seen me saying that "responsibility is for Dems", and "as long as we aren't any worse than THEY are" that's all we're trying for.

    I'm pretty happy with Trump's cabinet picks thus far. Not a huge fan of the anti free market rhetoric coming out of his mouth and the socialist economic spending ideas, but the cabinet is pretty good for the most part.
    thank you weso1!

    Donald Trump gave his Foundation's largest donor a CABINET spot yesterday. Did you see blaring headlines? Imagine if HRC had done that??

    Yep. That darn right wing mainstream media has always hated the Democrats.

    Great pick. EPA regulations need to be rolled back significantly.

    The reason you will never understand is because you are ignorant on the issue. Conservatives are typically more friendly to the environment on an individual level. They're more likely to use environmentally friendly energy products. Many are hunters and live in rural communities where the environment is protected. The worst areas for pollution are big city leftist majority communities.

    In regards to climate change, there's always a balance between economic freedom and oppressive and sometimes even fascistic environmental regulations.
    thank you weso1!

    I'm all for getting rid of the dumb EPA rules and regulations but does anybody really want to get rid of them? Aren't they kept mainly as a campaign rallying purpose? Would it be possible to actually see what these main regulations are that are now likely to be done away with? I can tell you that living in the new earthquake capital of the world says that maybe we don't have enough of the right regulations in place.

    Trump expected to pick oil drilling advocate to run Interior Department: sources
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKBN13Y1YV

    U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to pick U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a strong advocate of increased oil and gas development who is skeptical about climate change, to run the Department of the Interior, sources briefed on the matter told Reuters on Friday.

    The appointment could mean easier access for industry to more than a quarter of America's territory, ranging from national parks to tribal lands stretching from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico, where energy companies have been eager to drill and mine.

    OK, this makes me feel better. Nothing bad could possibly come from this.

    We're going to use oil guys. It's either get it using cleaner methods used in the west. Or get it from less clean middle eastern, African and South American countries. It's actually better for the environment to drill in western countries. So all these grumps about increasing oil development in the west is really just moral posturing. But in reality the moral play here is to drill in US and Canada.
    thank you weso1!

    Drilling, fracking ... what's the difference?

    Obama had 8 years to literally shove alternative energy and its merits down our throats. And he should have. Instead, we were gifted cheap gas and a slew of last-ditch, absurd agreements and overzealous regulations.

    Now, the other side gets it turn and we're practically back at square one with fuel costs on the rise again. Can barely give away electric cars, have continually attempted to marginalize the most important car company in our country (Tesla). Reliable and efficient public transportation hasn't grown in any significant way in atleast 3 decades.

    Bravo, Barry. Bravo.
