The idea of Sarah Palin becoming Secretary of Veteran's Affairs seems totally bat-shit crazy until

you remember that Donald Trump will be President.
Nowadays crazy gets graded on a curve.

At this point if I was Reince Preibus, Mike Pence and the rest of the GOP leadership I wouldn't even

show Donald Trump the real Oval Office.
I'd tell him the waiting room down the hall with the X-Box and flat screen TV is the Situation Room, give him a copy of CALL OF DUTY, and tell him he's fighting ISIS.

Mark Cuban meets with Steve Bannon

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/11/mark-cuban-spotted-with-trump-adviser-steve-bannon.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Intelligencer%20-%20November%2023%2C%202016&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20Daily%20Intelligencer%20%281%20Year%29

"A secret meeting between billionaire Hillary Clinton supporter Mark Cuban and Satan-admiring Trump adviser Steve Bannon took place on Tuesday afternoon at the King Cole Bar in Midtown’s St. Regis Hotel. TMZ broke the news when it published this creeper shot of the duo on Tuesday night. ... Cuban has yet to comment on the meeting and told one reporter that he would not be doing so."

Mark Cuban can go away now.

Robert Reich: California is Trumplands nemesis

California is Trumpland’s nemesis
"At the one end of the scale are Kansas and Texas, with among the nation’s lowest taxes, least regulations and lowest wages.
At the other end is California, with among the nation’s highest taxes, especially on the wealthy; toughest regulations, particularly when it comes to the environment; most ambitious health care system, that insures more than 12 million poor Californians, in partnership with Medicaid; and high wages.
So according to conservative doctrine, Kansas and Texas ought to be booming, and California ought to be in the pits.
Actually, it’s just the opposite."

On Inauguration Day there needs tobe a general strike and marching in the streets across the country

In every city across the nation people need to turn out and show Trump and his cronies, while he is getting sworn in, that we will not sit and accept his time in office as normal.
The evening news needs to cut from his swearing in to millions of people marching peacefully in the streets from sea to sea.
It's his party and we need to crash it.

With Trump's Cabinet picks being so horrible I expect full Democratic obstruction. Nothing less.

Fuck this guy.
The GOP spent the last 8 years teaching us that obstructing the opposition politically is a noble cause.
I will not support any Democrat for office that co-operates in any way with the GOP and Trump.
Period.
Fuck their jobs program.
The GOP opposed any and every jobs program for the country for the last 8 years for Obama.
Now that they are in office and willing to end their blackmail we're supposed to support their jobs programs, loaded with other horrible riders and amendments of course?
FUCK THAT!
TOTAL FUCKING OBSTRUCTION!!
I think it's time Democrats fight Republicans the way Republicans fight Democrats.
We must make our elected reps fight this horror show in Washington.
If they won't fight then we have to replace them.
Imagine how much we could get done if Democrats were as afraid of their base as Republicans are of theirs?

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
