The sec of defense is not personally stopping a terrorist attack. Longer term, good policy should reduce the probability of one occurring, of course, but the weeks of transition only matter here because Trump is a lunatic.

i mean the chaos of an administration constantly in transition and having no real leadership to outline priorities, to bring issues to the President, etc.

Really hope they never bring those issues to him. Would rather go magic 8 ball

Good article on the military drawdown in the Wall Street Journal, but it's behind a paywall. I agree with a number of the decisions, but the way it's taking place (or not) is, of course, a shitshow. Anyway, headline and subhead give you the gist of the story anyway:

Marines Deployed Abroad Seek Answers Amid Washington’s Turmoil
Commandant faces questions on the troop drawdowns. His answer: ‘I have no idea.’

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride continues...

In December alone, the S&P 500 .SPX is down nearly 12.5 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC has slumped 13.6 percent. The Nasdaq is now in a bear market, having declined nearly 22 percent from its record high in late August, and the S&P is not far off that level.

Calling to assure liquidity was not vaguely smart. Now the question is if there was a liquidity problem.

Also, FUCK that guy... calling from Cabo. It screams that he is talking his job seriously. Pass a Mexican Fiddle, or just have his security detail punch a Mariachi and take it.

The Republican Party is weak and unable to speak truth.

National Christmas tree back open... thanks doners!? Doners can fund federal programs on federal lands? Maybe they start drilling in 2019.

With Trump leading the country we’re all doners.

According to the LA Times, shutdown is over 215 miles of border, which was from a statement the Wall Warrior call me Ted, Ted Cruz put out. I would imagine that Team Ted was going for something like... all this for only 215 miles... but do the simple math and call it what it is... $23,255,813.95 per mile! And that might not even be if we buy up that expensive tariff driven America steel which would cost ??? with the added bonus of providing another hand out, this time to American Steel, which would not need to compete in a free market, especially with a mark set up to perpetuate the scam. Indeed, you can put a price on votes!

This video perfectly exhibits what a horrible human being our president is.

Was looking forward to a FEW art exhibits, the botanical center and more with the outlaws in town.

Now what do we do?

In other news, when it comes the sea will surge, and not just rise an inch.

Historical rises in sea level have happened like that. Surges are noted in the prrmian extinction.

We HAVE VOLCANOS under Thwaites, and the rest of WAIS, 140M WAVES in the undersea caves in Greenland.

Then we have a President who is paid by big oil to get us to burn as much oil as possible.

Trump needs to go.

Impeachment is coming, along with multiple civilian indictments. The latter will be served on the day the Donald is no longer President.

If a sitting President can be sued, he should be held criminally liable as well.

That apparently is not the case.
