We the People have just elected Boaty McBoatface

[Bob Juch]

No need. He knows it. He's a smart man. Keep that in mind.

He's the stupidest, most ignorant man to have ever been elected.

And he's surrounded himself with top level advisers who have virtually no experience in government. I know some people are excited about bringing in "outsiders." Then, when an emergency hits, they realize what that lack of experience really means.

It's even worse than that. Many of his cabinet and agency nominees are opposed to the operation of the organizations they would head.

But enough about Barack Obama. He's out of office on Jan. 20.

Don't get anywhere near the fan.

Oh I know. BO will be flinging it left and right right up until 1/19. Screw the Constitution. Screw Israel. Screw the American people, especially the white ones, the rich ones, and the Christians. Yeah, we've been waiting. We know it will happen.

Of course, this might just be the prelude to the solution Republicans always come up with to boost the economy. Cut taxes for the rich, claim there's some type of global crisis and spend insane amounts of money on new weapons systems.

It works, and they'll keep doing it as long as it keeps working.

Maybe you missed 2007 and 2008?

That was so oversimplified it was snotty. To reply, and again oversimplified, but noting that "new weapons systems" were not involved:

The financial crisis happened because banks were able to create too much money, too quickly, and used it to push up house prices and speculate on financial markets. This is from http://positivemoney.org/issues/recessions-crisis/ because I'm sure I would have missed something.

How much military experience do you have? How much experience facing guerilla warfare in mountainous terrain?

Trump's strategy would appear to be, drop a nuke or two and declare victory ... until the next terrorist attack.

Admittedly, with his 3 am tweets, it's difficult to say how much of this he actually intends to do and how much he's merely tweeting to hear himself talk.

Of course, a President of the United States should not be doing that since foreign countries, both our enemies and our potential allies have to react to what he says (or tweets).

It looks like President Obama has added protecting the nuclear launch codes to the list of problems he has fixed before the next Administration takes power. --Bob

You mean by giving them to someone else and not telling Joe Biden who it is? That would help a lot.
