Nice job with doublespeak.

Rep/Con/Teas using only two words is guaranteed to be double speak.

Paul Ryan reminds me of Zach Woods (The Office, Silicon Valley).

The establishment is congress. You can't remove it.
So he has to make deals with it.
He also took Steve Bannon as "chief strategist" and Priebus counter weight.
It's a bit too early to claim Trump will suddenly align with all republican "Koch approved" positions.

There was this Russian in an other forum. He kept arguing that "The cure to Washington ills is measured in megatons, Comrades".

Oh Forbes is rewriting common knowledge is they?

You think Reince can tell Bannon and Gingrich "Not now Trump is the middle of a Taco bowl."?

Trump appoints Outsiders: "See jackasses, nothing will get done because Trump is too stupid to appoint people who can talk to DC People to get things done. They don't have PEOPLE SKILLS!!!"
Trump appoints Insiders: "Haw haw, Trump's a Traitor!"
Appoints a Mix: "Confused Cabinet picks, doesn't know what he's doing"

The big laugh is Time and others saying Trump is going to wage war on Legalized Marijuana, Gay Marriage, and Abortion. If MSM and DC Insiders were 80s rappers, their name would be Tone Def.

Trump: Same-sex marriage is 'settled,' but Roe v Wade can be changed

The GOPe hates Newt Gingrich, never liked Rudy, and hates the horse Breitbart and any of his editors and contributors rode in on. Lindsey Graham coordinated a 'coup' attempt against Speaker Gingrich in 1997.

Hillary would have appointed somebody like criminal friend Robert Rubin or even Larry Summers. Obama was thinking of criminal Jon Corzine for the Treasury spot. As it was, we have had a criminal Goldman Sachs exec who presided over so much fraud that the firm had to make a $5 billion settlement with the USG.

It would have been interesting to see who Bernie would have chosen.

The swamp cannot be drained. Florida will still be Florida.

"Drain the Swamp" is a clever linguistic weapon. It might have a hand in delivering Florida.

Almost everyone in this election voted themselves into serfdom.

What was my correct course of action?

What is TBN's annual revenue? I'd base the sale price on that.

He represented every Republican not just Donald Trump. He did not allow a few man committee unilaterally railroad Donald Trump in spite of the Primary voters.

Seems like Donald is rewarding Priebus' fairness in resisting proposed RNC rule changes specifically to block one candidate: Trump.

Now if we can only get Ford to ditch their crappy dual clutch "automatic" transmission and put in something good like a regular automatic transmission with a torque converter.

TPP dead.

Ford abandoning plans to move factories/jobs to Mexico.

Peaceful, constructive relations with Russia.

Trump has not even been sworn in yet.

Complicated crap like this is going to be the early death of these cars. They'll be so expensive to repair when the car is ten years old, it'll never be a decent beater. I think it's called accretion. Once a system is made complicated, there's is no end to its expansion. You had four-speed automatics, so then you had five, then six, then seven and now eight. You got air bags, but now you have air bags here and air bags there and air bags where the sun doesn't shine and like Ed Wallace said since they first came around in 1991, there has never been a six monthe period in which there wasn't some kind of bad press about them. All cars have to have a tire pressure warning light, et al and et al.

Yeah, but if your air bags don't work, you can at least disconnect them. It's not like you need them.

An internet search does not confirm this???? I do not doubt that there is a word of phrase for this.

If you get one with a manual transmission, then that would eliminate that as a point of early failure. Yes, but I suspect that touch screens and infotainment systems will prove to be a much weaker link in a lot of cars. I also wonder how DIY friendly CVT repairs are as well. Yes, I occasionally fix automatic transmissions, but so far they have all been regular 4 speed automatic transmission with lockup type torque converters.

Let me ask. One of my best friends is best in trade trading domains

OK...he just called me , and he says 5K is good

If I went back and researched I'm sure I could dig up 10 bullet point examples of a sneaky little committees trying to meet with Reince to have him unilaterally rule in their favor that would have railroaded Donald Tump's chances. From the first straw poll to Republican convention to even entertaining Mitt Romney and his post primaries Never Trump rehash.

Nobody has watched Reince as closely as I have. I would have been ready to go Taxi Driver on him had he done what the Establishment GOP wanted him to do on numerous occasions. Even as the News hearkened that nobody was legally bound to pay Trump a never mind. The media was so 100% in on just hijacking Donald Trump's campaign and give it to someone more deserving. By time it was all over,
I really had tremendous respect for Reince, I'm sure he must have turned down Millions, Tens of Millions even.

Jamie Diamond for Secretary of Everything!

Boycott those Who think different!

The only people I'm afraid of in America are White Liberals.

Well I'm more afraid of my self, because if they pull half of the Bullshit they are pulling on people, I'll knock their damned heads off.
That's how our Dad's used to talk. "I'll knock your head off!" We were so great back then. Pussies!

Actually, a manual transmission today is almost impossible to find--and the clutch is considered a wear item like tires and not covered by warranty. Again, on Ed Wallace's show I remember someone calling in with a horror story about their manual shift car with a bad clutch was going to cost in the neighborhood of $3,000 to fix--they were currently wrangling with the dealer to no avail. And any kind of electronics just adds to the complexity and are likely to give trouble. Remember when people used to drive out pleased as punch with radio heater and overdrive?

i've given up on buying new cars, and have turned to leasing exclusively. depreciation and maintenance cost after your typical loan term ends is just too much to handle vs. a fixed payment without any repair or maintenance bills beyond consumables.

plus, you get the new stuff every 3 years or so. my car has google earth in the dash where the gauges are supposed to be. it's amazing now, but will surely be old-fashioned in 36 months or less.

i like my dual-clutch auto trans, just have to tip in the right way with the pedal. or, put the car in sport mode and just drive a little harder.

had a few modern stick shifts in the recent past, and while they are more engaging they can't really pull everyday duty in populated areas. clutch wears out fast in SoCal traffic conditions, and the labor to repair is gonna cost you no matter what.

I love dual-clutch cogwheel-based (steel-all-the-way-through) automatic transmissions. They are highly efficient. Hydraulic torque converters waste a lot of energy, as is clear from the lousy MPG they get.

Not sure if there is much real data on repair and maintenance costs yet.

I'm happy that Ford changed their mind about the plant. Unlike Republicans and Obama, I want Trump to succeed with policies that are good for the American worker.

Saying Donald Trump has a big ego would be as revelatory as saying the sun rises in the east. That Donald Trump exaggerates his accomplishments and downplays his own failures would pretty much make him like the average politician. But there are times when a person’s hubris gets to the point where it reaches the level of the absurd. For Donald Trump, it’s taking credit for a business move made by Ford that he had absolutely nothing to do with. It’s one thing for a person who actually holds office and who is implementing policy to believe their policies have...

Yes. TRump would never do that.

Damn jazz, the media really has you all worked up over nothing

Relax. And don't talk about your president like that

IHLlary Lost Because People Are Sick of Presidents Who SUCK! BANKSTER! COCK!

Trump will grab bankster pussy without asking, and they'll like it.

Swollen Egos? Get the fuck out of here, no ego gets to be more swollen than MINE!

So, didn't Ben run for president? How would that have made him feel with his lack of experience, had he won?

I hope nobody from the Bush admin lands in the Trump camp. I would rather Trump get his advice from Obama.

Myopia cannot be cured.

Rumors and Propaganda abound. Dems try to polarize while their president blames the nominated of not traveling to enough states. Infighting with Dems is needed so that the Millenials dont burn down all the Universities, and inner cities.

If the Snowflakes set up an attack on Jan 20ths, the Snowflakes will blame it on Trump. Love Trumps Hate, but the Propaganda of 60 Million People hates the US, but loves the one that created the division - Sir Obama and Mr and Mrs Clinton.

Dems try to have rock concerts with multiple celebs in the last week. Polling is pure propaganda.

Characterizing the selection of leaders is going to have to happen in 100 days.

The Dynasty of Clintons, Obamas, Alinskyistic hate and deception is over! Get used to good faith and a United States. The divided states proposed by Alinsky did not work.

Alinskys rules: Ridicule your opponent.

OK -- your ridiculous.

I don't care if it's just Donald running through the Whitehouse yelling "where in the hell is the Goddamed remote to the TV" for the next 8 years.
He's done a fantastic job.

When they go Low they love it.

Saul Alinsky was a globalist before his time, maybe a Zionist, Zionism not being a religion. Obama didn't take away guns, although he was in on the Sandy Hook Hoax. But don't be fooled, the entire globalist cabal controls both parties. So we will see how Trump will be different. I don't think fascism is different from the Netanyahu apartheid state, do you? Trump and Netanyahu seem to get along just fine.
