Bill Kristol stepping down as editor of the Weekly Standard after over 20 years.

Hmmm, wonder what he'll be doing with his time.

Just so I am clear, as it stands now this is the run sheet:

Problem:
Corrupt Hillary is owned by Wall Street, the Big Banks, and Big Business.

Solution:
Load up on cabinet member from Big Wall Street Banks, and Big Business Leaders who want to exploit the US, the power of the US, and its people.

Problem:
Lying Hillary had an email server where she mishandled classified.

Solution:
Pick a guy who, among other things, got tossed from leading an intel agency for mishandling classified to be your intel advisor (which apparently means to denigrate and ignore the intel agencies), and float that another who gave classified to his adulteress (hey, the second part of that is A-OK with Donnie, and apparently the first as well).

Problem:
Washington is broken.

Solution:
Seek appointments for pols who want to shut down the departments that they would head.

Problem:
Foreign interests exerting influence through the Clinton Charitable Trust.

Solutions:
State that there are no conflicts or concerns with ones self, whereas it is likely that there are investment in the wealth of the next president by Russia (Jr said it in a presentation that Trump Co had oligarch investment Bigly), that there is no conflict between his lease with the GSA (although it apparently can be cancelled by the GSA until the next head of the GSA reinstates it), CCP-Exxon/DoS mashup, the biggest investors in his campaign all get positions (sort of like Oprah with the cars, but instead of surprises it is just egregious pay to play), and the staunch defense of Russia's hacking activities (while he false flags China with an international situation he is singlehandedly creating).

I am sure there is more, but it is exhausting to consider the type of damage he is doing pre-office.

now you're getting it

breaking Washington is the feature, not the bug.

This is all the Democrats' fault. Also, Democrats are to be blamed for Trump picking Tillerson and also should be ashamed that they are being so partisan right now because look at all the electoral votes Trump got.

Yesterday there was some strange "round table" that had like every woman who works at Fox NEWS and some guy in the middle pontificating about the economy. The few minutes I was near that TV I head that Obama has been the most anti-business president ever, the economy tanked on his watch, the stock market shit the bed, and American workers paid the price. It was very bizarre. Perhaps BHO will get a little more credit then deserved as things were so bleak that a bounce was almost inevitable, but the authority (so very strange that he was set up like he was educating these poor little ladies) just flat out ignores the growth that occurred, then he throws a Trump card and says that any growth should be attributed to the Donald as it has all anticipated his policies (some of that has to be true recently like the run away train that is bank stocks).

Very informatively you can look at sp500 performance by president. Clinton @ 200.9, Obama @ 173.3%, and Ronnie 129.6% (braced by Bush mark 2 @ -33.6% which was influenced by anything he could control - he deserves credit and sympathy where do)

they call that show 'Outnumbered', which implies that the norm is that men usually outnumber women but WE'RE GONNA FLIP IT ON YA!

Lengthy piece on President Obama from Coates

Eastern Aleppo has fallen:

Rebel officials said their fighters were pulling out of district after district in the face of overwhelming force by Syrian ground troops backed by Russian air power. By nightfall, rebels controlled no more than a tenth of the eastern Aleppo neighborhoods they had once hoped to use as a seat of power to rival the capital, Damascus.

“The battle of Aleppo has reached its end. It is just a matter of a small period of time, no more, no less . . . it’s a total collapse,” said Rami Abdulrahman, the pseudonym of the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

He said rebel forces had withdrawn from all districts on the eastern side of the Aleppo River after losing a key area, Sheikh Said, in overnight fighting.

Inside the last pockets of rebel territory in eastern Aleppo, most residents sheltered in their houses Monday as bombs rained down and government troops came closer. The area has been shattered, and monitoring groups say hundreds have been killed there in the latest offensive.

Residents said Monday that roads in the rebel-held districts were filled with civilians camped out and huddling in the winter cold.

“Life in Aleppo has become a slow death,” Shaer said. “You watch everything and everyone dear to you disappear.”

And on Monday night, the phones of most civilians contacted by The Washington Post appeared to have fallen silent. Their fate remains unknown.

25 Coptic Christians killed in Cairo by a bomber in a chapel. 49 injured.

Sisi is a friend of the Christian community there but has not really followed through on prosecution of crimes against them.

That's obviously incorrect; he isn't POTUS yet.

He's on track to be America's worst president; time will tell, and it shouldn't take much of that.

On the other hand, he almost certainly will be America's least president.

Well, the good news is based on the accuracy of every single assertion you've made about politics in the last year and a half, chances are the exact opposite will happen.

Pew has info on what Americans have heard of 'alt-right'. Republicans just haven't heard much! It would also appear that as your education attainment declines, so does you hearing about these groups.

May you live forever

two bills are at Kasich's desk to be signed that would SEVERELY limit abortion. They wouldn't hold up in court.

Only good things can happen with an ego showdown of Trump VS 'Ye. I am not sure which one is more arrogant. Place your bets now, what cabinet position might make Kanye a beltway local? LoLz.

** Maybe its just a 'I have a black friend not named Carson moment.

Fucking Rick Perry to head Energy. Unreal.

Not oops
