DONNIE RIGGED NOT TAKING BRIEFINGS
Trump tweeted that the drone theft was unprecedented and then tweeted that they can keep it.
No one told him that the thing was a done deal. But he kept on Tweeting.
Donnie Rigged is too smart for briefings though.
A TRUMP DECISION I CAN AGREE WITH

Word is out that the new President Elect did not pick Former Ambassador John Bolton because he reminded him of Captain Kangaroo. Bolton is a neo con who still believes that the war in Iraq was right and just. From a Foreign Policy standpoint, it is a win for all of us. We have to take the close calls anyway we can. In the meantime, here's a little bit of The Captain.
ONE OF THE FIRST TRUMP PRESIDENT JOKES
A friend of mine sent this via e mail the other day labeling it the First President Trump joke. Like a lot of humor, there is a lot of truth in it. Here it is:
A large earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hit the Middle East.
Two million Muslims died and over a million were injured.
Iraq, Iran and Syria were totally ruined and the governments asked for help to rebuild.
The rest of the world was in shock.
Great Britain sent troops to help keep the peace.
Saudi Arabia sent oil and monetary assistance.
Latin American countries sent clothing.
New Zealand and Australia sent sheep, cattle and food crops.
The Asian countries sent labor to assist in rebuilding the infrastructure.
Canada sent medical teams and supplies.
AND...........................................
The new American President, Donald Trump, not to be outdone, sent two million replacement Muslims.
STATE LEGISLATURE SCREWS YOU AGAIN
Once again I ask the question, why the hell are we paying State Legislators in Pennsylvania so much for so little?
Here’s the latest. WPVI out of Philadelphia reported that because of an act, Act 38 passed in 2012 by Republicans, Pennsylvania is out of compliance with a new Federal Law called REAL ID. But Pennsylvania DOES NOT COMPLY with the law becauswe of this act assed by the geniuses in Harrisburg. Here’s how it reads:
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Short title.
This act shall be known and may be cited as the REAL ID Nonparticipation Act.
Section 2. Participation in the REAL ID Act of 2005.
(a) Prohibition.--Neither the Governor nor the Department of Transportation or any other Commonwealth agency shall participate in the REAL ID Act of 2005 or regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term "REAL ID Act of 2005" means Division B of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Public Law 109-13, 119 Stat. 302).
Section 3. Legal challenge.
Either the Governor or the Attorney General may file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge the constitutionality or legality of the REAL ID Act of 2005.
There are ramifications for this. Because there is non participation,
While a Pa. driver's license will not allow a passenger to board a flight come Jan. 22, 2018, the impact of the REAL ID Act will be felt much sooner - this January.
Beginning on Jan. 30, 2017, a Pennsylvania driver's license will not be a valid form of identification for those visiting a federal facility, nuclear power plant or military base. Pennsylvania residents will need a federally-approved form of identification to access those buildings and facilities.
"If you will be visiting a federal facility, nuclear power plant or military base on or after January 30, 2017, it is recommended that you contact that particular facility concerning any additional identification requirements," PennDOT says.
Again, how the hell did they miss this and why?
Maybe because the GOP doesn’t want guh-vah-munt in our lives!
But hey, put ‘em in again in two years.
