Trump will apparently stay on The Celebrity Apprentice as an Executive Producer on his "spare time." When asked about this, everyone's favorite Campaign Manager said:

Kellyanne Conway wrote:"Were we so concerned about the hours and hours and hours spent on the golf course of the current president? I mean presidents have a right to do things in their spare time, in their leisure time,"


I'm going to give myself a concussion once a week reading some of the shit that will come from this Administration.

I mean, outside of the optics and demeaning nature of Trump being a goddamn reality show producer while serving as President, do we really want him spending more time focusing on running the country?

Within all the other beyond stupid stuff, I really don't care about his producer status. That likely has no effect on the country or leverages the OoPOTUS for personal gain. It is just more of a special kind of stupid. You know he will make a special, self-aggrandizing appearance, that is just in the books as a sad reality, just please do not let it be in the WH. There are plenty of other far more horrific episodes of this s#!tshow in the planning.

In the grand scheme of things if Trump appoints Bobby Valentine Ambassador to Japan it will not be the worst thing he does, but it might be the Trumpiest. Hey, I see this guy on TV all the time, which automatically means he's an authority! He used to manage the Mets. I like the Mets! Also he managed a baseball team in Japan, so he's totally got a handle on the cultural and political issues within the country.

Come on man, there are no ethical issues, the president is exempt from all rules, regulations, moral, ethical, conflicts, and laws. Have you not hear? The differences between president of our country and president of a banana republic are no different. The shows use the term president for everyone, so it must all be the same.

Fine, black & tan
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are developing plans to reshape Energy Department programs, help keep aging nuclear plants online and identify staff who played a role in promoting President Barack Obama’s climate agenda.

The transition team has asked the agency to list employees and contractors who attended United Nations climate meetings, along with those who helped develop the Obama administration’s social cost of carbon metrics, used to estimate and justify the climate benefits of new rules. - Bloomberg News


Whoa! Witch hunt that results in US workers losing their jobs for doing what was assigned them? There are a lot of problems with this flying through my head right now.

"money in politics isn't that big of a deal"

With his choice of restaurant executive Andrew Puzder to serve as his Labor secretary, President-elect Donald Trump has now tapped six big donors and fundraisers to serve in his administration, lining up an unprecedented concentration of wealthy backers for top posts.

Together with their families, Trump's nominees gave $11.6 million to support his presidential bid, his allied super PACs and the Republican National Committee, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal campaign filings.

One single appointee — WWE co-founder Linda McMahon — contributed $7.5 million to back his White House run before Trump selected her to run the Small Business Administration this week. She and her husband Vince were also the top outside donors to Trump's private foundation.

Honestly, I consider it a plus. The more he's invested in the MSM the better.
