Good point. However, concerning Pence, he is the man the Koch brothers wanted as president. They have more money any day of the week; mucho influence, too. The Republicans, at the core, don't like DT one little bit. A few bones to liberals, that's smart & sassy, ahso. Like it.

I think your average redneck only uses the words pinko, commie and red in this context. Socialist is slightly obscure.

What puzzles me is that Americans knowingly elected the former owner of the Miss Universe Organization as its President and now sit amazed when he's accused of romping naked with the pageant contestants in Moscow while a KGB film crew records the explicit details. You'd think consistency requires them to applaud.

I'm not familiar enough with the constitution to know if there is any way to nullify the election results and have a re-vote. I'd hope if there were any such possibility that new candidates on both sides would be in the offering.

Trump and his cabinet choices are obviously not in sync.

I think there's a better approach than guessing, I think there's logic. You can ask yourself whether, in general, from what you're seen in the news, politicians tend to act more in the interests of America or of Russia when it's hard to see what benefit they're getting for their own country.

You're assuming this has anything to do with what's best for the country. Follow the money what does exxon get out of it and all the others trump is appointing what are their business interests and how will they benefit with trump in office. Putin is getting a free hand in europe be interesting to see if trump orders home the troops obama sent to poland recently, and in the middle east putin/turkey oil.

Looks like the dossier does actually have credibility

Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele's frustration as FBI sat on Donald Trump Russia file for months | The Independent

In the same month Mr Steele produced a memo, which went to the FBI, stating that Mr Trump’s campaign team had agreed to a Russian request to dilute attention on Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine. Four days later Mr Trump stated that he would recognise Moscow’s annexation of Crimea. A month later officials involved in his campaign asked the Republican party’s election platform to remove a pledge for military assistance to the Ukrainian government against separatist rebels in the east of the country.

He's got a republican congress and senate if they decide to back him and not do their jobs to check his power as president how likely is it he will be impeached or even taken to court over his business ventures.

ETA: This is also more evidence that Obama is nothing more than a yes man. What a wuss.Speaking of other theories, plenty are beginning to circulate.

It's worth wondering why Trump chose this Russian issue to take such a hard stand on and fight with the very institution he's about to head. Something's not right.

Then there's the obvious ethics issues. Trump is essentially wanting to take a leave of absence from his businesses while he serves as president. Surely anyone can comprehend the conflicts of interest in that idea.

FYI: Did anyone here know that the law firm Trump uses is among the most prestigious firms in Russia as well?

Larsmac: I think WW1 was kicked off by mediaeval states with modern technologies and armies failing to conduct effective diplomacy, especially Germany under the Kaiser. The assassination in Sarajevo was the flashpoint, but even after that Germany could have stopped the war but didn't, because the Kaiser actually quite fancied a victory or two before Christmas and a victorious peace.

Some of the corporate news agencies have been reporting that Mattis and the Trump transition team have been wrestling over appointments under Mattis. Of course anything that happens now is going to magnified in the press and on tv.

Also, Trump has ordered all of Obama's diplomatic appointments be gone by January 20th which I understand is a bit unusual. They have little time to scram and Trump has little time to fill the positions. It appears there will be at least a few empty embassies for some time.

Trump wants a clean slate right away. His attitude on all this is what he campaigned on, so he's following through.

To be clear on that point all presidential appointees always offer up their resignation effective the day the new term begins (even if the president gets re-elected) and the the president-elect has the option to accept or reject those resignations.

I doubt that Trump exercised the effort it would take to determine if any were worth keeping around.

Donald Trump has upended the lives of many US ambassadors abroad by refusing to grant the traditional grace period after he's inaugurated. Instead, Trump wants all politically appointed ambassadors installed by President Obama to be gone on Jan. 20, the New York Times. Such ambassadors, as opposed to career diplomats, usually depart soon after the president that appointed them, but exceptions have traditionally been made for those with school-age children. US Ambassador to New Zealand Mark Gilbert tells Reuters that he'll be departing Jan. 20 under a Trump mandate issued "without exceptions."Trump Breaks With Tradition on Obama's Ambassadors, Wants Them Out Jan. 20

No, I did not hear my friend say anything to that effect.

My friend said that, yes, there are times when exceptions are made, and on a case by case basis per request, that an extension may be granted, for whatever reason, and even times when the incoming president has chosen to keep someone on permanently.

It would appear that the Trump team opted to simply accept all resignations as presented, and has chosen to not consider any requests for exemptions. Any such extensions or exemptions would require a submission of said request by the personnel, and research on the part of the new President's transition team.

We are left to assume since we have no data on any such requests being submitted or if/when said requests were denied.

We seem, from the standpoint of these last few days before the inauguration, the quiet before the storm breaks, to be watching someone unique among Presidents-elect - a man who looks down on politicians of every hue and their intelligence lackeys as vermin to be caged, humiliated, controlled and if possible tamed. It is quite definitely not just more of the same.

Would anyone like a quote?

This is the fundamental problem with the ruling class in Washington, DC—the party bosses, the K Street crowd, the lobbyists who control all these politicians. They will do anything to maintain their power. They will do anything. They will say anything. They will spend whatever it takes because they know that if Donald Trump becomes the nominee and ultimately the president of the United States, the days of backroom deals are over. He will only be responsible to the American people.

Who said it? Corey Lewandowski said it.

Who he? Come on, pay more attention, you're meant to know these things. Mr. Lewandowski previously served as the Chief Political Adviser and Campaign Manager to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. In those roles, he oversaw all aspects of a historic presidential campaign where Donald J. Trump won 38 Republican primaries and caucuses, and received more votes than any presidential candidate in the history of the Republican Party. Through Mr. Lewandowski’s leadership, Mr. Trump secured the Republican nomination for President of the United States while only spending a fraction of the money his competitors spent over the same period of time. Mr. Lewandowski is credited with running a skillfully disruptive political campaign and is often cited as a visionary on understanding the moods and pulse of the American people.

That's from https://www.avenuestrategies.com/lewandowski/ - Mr Lewandowski’s spanking brand new Washington lobbying firm.

He insisted he should not be portrayed as “cashing in, which is absolutely factually incorrect. The claim that he “got into this business so I could make money, Lewandowski added, “is absolutely disgusting.

Business as usual.

Well, not exactly. The Republicans own the Capital and are already beginning the dismantling of many policies that have been in place to protect the people from themselves, and from big business. The Egocrat and his pirates are looting the White House, not unlike the way the Bolsheviks looted the palace in St Petersburg a hundred years earlier.

I think being out west will prove to be some cushion to the new revolution. We will be able to maintain some level of autocracy through the next few years.

Here's a summary of Trumpolini's hour-long phone call with President Putin.

Vladimir Putin congratulated Donald Trump on taking office and wished him every success in his work.

During the conversation, both sides expressed their readiness to make active joint efforts to stabilise and develop Russia-US cooperation on a constructive, equitable and mutually beneficial basis.

Mr Putin and Mr Trump had a detailed discussion of pressing international issues, including the fight against terrorism, the situation in the Middle East, the Arab-Israeli conflict, strategic stability and non-proliferation, the situation with Iran’s nuclear programme, and the Korean Peninsula issue. The discussion also touched upon the main aspects of the Ukrainian crisis. The sides agreed to build up partner cooperation in these and other areas.

The two leaders emphasised that joining efforts in fighting the main threat – international terrorism – is a top priority. The presidents spoke out for establishing real coordination of actions between Russia and the USA aimed at defeating ISIS and other terrorists groups in Syria.

The sides stressed the importance of rebuilding mutually beneficial trade and economic ties between the two counties’ business communities, which could give an additional impetus to progressive and sustainable development of bilateral relations.

Mr Putin and Mr Trump agreed to issue instructions to work out the possible date and venue for their meeting.

Donald Trump asked to convey his wishes of happiness and prosperity to the Russian people, saying that the American people have warm feelings towards Russia and its citizens.

Vladimir Putin, in turn, emphasised that the feeling is mutual, adding that for over two centuries Russia has supported the United States, was its ally during the two world wars, and now sees the United States as a major partner in fighting international terrorism.

The two leaders agreed to maintain regular personal contacts.

The conversation took place in a positive and constructive atmosphere.

Couldn't be better, eh? It's nice to see something positive for once. Who knows what they might achieve from a position of cooperation.

The internal power struggle within the Trump White House has brought down the National Security Advisor, a military chap. One of a large number of military chaps in this administration. Michael T. Flynn, a retired United States Army Lieutenant General, now retired yet again except you can be pretty certain he owns a lobbying company by now like all the other ousted contestants. Deliberately brought down by Vice President Pence and Jim Mattis, by the look of things.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38965557

It is, apparently and much to my surprise, "illegal for private citizens to conduct US diplomacy".

The run-up to the public evisceration involved Kellyanne bailing for all she was worth: Just after 4pm on Monday afternoon, Conway appeared on MSNBC to affirm the president’s confidence in Flynn. Afterwards, reporters followed up with her about Flynn’s status. Conway reacted skeptically to questioning about whether Flynn mislead Pence; “Why do you say he did? she asked reporters.

She also noted pointedly that Flynn had worked with Trump all weekend and was “the point person both for Trump’s meeting with Trudeau earlier in the day as well as his scheduled meeting with the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu later in the week. Conway dismissed speculation over why Trump hadn’t responded personally to any of the reporting. “You should read nothing into that. I mean he’s just not going to respond to every screaming headline, she said of the president. Less than an hour later he did.

The neocons and liberal hawks (with the backing of the corporate media) are working extra hard to chip away at anything or anyone associated with any Russian ties within the Trump white house. Pence would be the go-to guy in that department, I'd think. Pence, while a buffoon intellectually, though a seemingly nice guy on the surface, is perfect to be manipulated. He's most likely doing what he believes he needs to in order to garner support for himself for when he (if he) is to step into the presidency. A prospect that is even scarier than Trump. Pence is everything Reagan wished he could have been.

What I don't understand is why Flynn came out and did the putting Iran on notice jig unless it was a bone for the neocons to try and win favor. Iran and Russia have decent relations as far as I know, and Flynn knows very well that Iran is not the sponsor of terrorism the neocons and media keep insisting they are.

Flynn's departure is a win for neocons and the media.

The concept of obvious grotesquely hyperbolic undeniable transparent lying for the sake of effect when making a point may have escaped your notice. We have no altars, we do not pray and we clearly regard your laughingstock President as expendable, but the suggestion that Mike Pence is a worse option may well have merit.

Meanwhile the public elimination round within the Administration intensifies: "Spicer, in contradiction to statements made by the senior White House aide Kellyanne Conway earlier on Tuesday, insisted that Trump had asked for Flynn’s resignation and that it was not the national security adviser’s decision".

My own preference is for Sean Spicer to topple, Kellyanne has such an uncontrolled mouth on her she's guaranteed to screw up any situation she ever touches, she's the freeway pileup in human form.

eta: and now she's claiming other people tweet through her Twitter account and she has no idea who has access to it? What utter cobblers. If that's actually true she still has to accept responsibility for the fact, and the tweet. Obviously.

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, who first highlighted the exchange, Ms Conway denied she had sent the tweet.

“I don’t know who had access to my account," she said on Tuesday.

“Let me see who tweeted that. That’s terrible.
