Keystone XL and DAPL will move forward as Trump plans to sign an executive order this week. This could get pretty bad.

Netherlands welcomes POTUS drumpf, Netherlands-style

Then you watch the DNC Chair Candidates open forum...............wow.

Unions are not fooled, actually.

our country is a joke now. good stuff.

Comey is staying.

wish these motor ceos had the freedom to speak their actual feelings on the shit this guy is peddling right now.

that darn Obama:

Assange said Obama had commuted Manning’s sentence to get back at him. “What’s the result? It is going to make life hard for Assange because either he will be extradited to the US or we will show him [to be] a liar. Therefore, it is OK to pardon Chelsea Manning – that’s what happened.”

Julian Assange is the most important man in the world in his own mind.

calvin, their relationship will be the biggest, most beautiful relationship you've ever seen. sure, he's flip-flopped over the years on the auto bailout that ended up being a godsend to the industry, but BELIEVE ME he'll be the best. THE BEST. Also, the unions LOVE HIM and have totally not been circling the wagons for the past 2 months to prepare for a YUGE fight regarding card check, prevailing wage, minimum wage, etc.

I would add the word "anymore" in front of actually.

Union vote for this election was 51/43. Trump has a huge opportunity with unions that a Republican (well, Trump's not really a Republican) hasn't had in decades.

How many executive orders is that already? I thought the GOP thought Exec Orders were overreaching the president's authority.

Only 1 signed so far, but it does appear there is a wave on the horizon.

This seems wrong, since I think TPP was an Exec Order. Perhaps the whitehouse.gov site isn't updated yet (only shows the EO regarding the ACA).

Anybody bring up National Day of Patriotic Devotion, yet?

It is January 20, 2017 if anybody was wondering.

Naming your own inauguration day a national holiday based on patriotism seems...I don't know...what's the word I'm looking for...fascist seems like it fits..

For someone who has been lauded for his integrity over the years, you'd think that he'd acknowledge that he has singlehandedly turned the FBI into a political controversy and would voluntarily resign. The ONLY reason that he shouldn't submit his resignation for the good of the agency is that his replacement would be a Trump nominee.

The fact that he hasn't resigned makes me question his motives prior to Election Day in a way that I hadn't previously.

Those were Presidential Memoranda

When drumpf doesn't deliver meaningful infrastructure dough - because congressional Rs will either have to completely abandon their deficit hypocricy OR block tax cuts to approve more than token projects -it seems likely that union voters, like non-union voters, will blame drumpf, or congressional Rs, or both. And their reaction to any schemes to "privatize" infrastructure projects may be even stronger.

I'm pretty sure that the FHA directive wasn't an Executive Order.

The Republicans will get in line and do exactly what Trump tells them to............just like Little Marco yesterday.
