No. We elected a Reality Show host, we get all the drama. We voted for government by Tweet.

I'm hoping it makes the site of the new stadium they are building for the A's cave in, they did Oakland dirty and deserve whatever bad karma they get.

Trump is a master at misdirection, though. He floods the zone with bullshit, on purpose, so the media keeps talking about the crazy shit he says, and not the actual things he does. He won't do all of the things he talks about, but he can do any individual thing that he wants to. He is hoping to get away with things while we all chatter about the crazy shit he says.

So now that the election is over and we know we have to tolerate four more years of it, we are better off keeping any public resistance under the radar until he actually takes actions while in office, and prioritize responding to what he does over what he says.

Promising a “Golden age of America,” Trump also said he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” saying that has a “beautiful ring to it.”

What a dumbass

The US took the area by force during the Spanish-American War, and then signed a "lease" with no end date with the Cuban government at the time.

I bet every time Cuba says they want to take it back, the US says "Yeah? You and what army?"

I mean, he went to college to get that medical degree. Today's Conservatives think colleges and universities are terminally woke. Why would they trust his medical opinion?

So what? Donald Trump did not get elected President (Twice!) by listening to experts....

This is because you are not the customer. Your employer is the customer, they are the ones who get to choose the HSA provider for their employees. You are the goods to be sold. The HSA provider is simply harvesting profits.

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.
