I don't agree with Smoking Guns. But what are you willing to do to people who have children they can't afford or are ill prepared to raise?  Food stamps doesn't help when there's 6 kids living in a 2 bedroom apartment cause mommy doesn't want to work and likes the attention from men.

Trump hasn't been sworn in yet. Why don't you wait till he and his congress actually pass their first law.

And for the millionth time, the republicans didn't gain control of congress until 2014 when they took the senate. Repeating something that is wrong indefinitely doesn't make it true. The Democratic Party is still the party of the KKK and Jim Crow no matter how many times you put your fingers in your ear and shake your head no.

You guys had your chance. The constitution is all that matters. Suck it up buttercup. It's going to be an awesome ride.

I don't think failed attempts at politics should stop someone. Biden failed at being elected President twice, yet was a fine Vice President.  But agree she is an unusual pick. That being said, I don't know what the fuck the small business secretary really does or what real impact she'll have on the economy.

The EPA has over stepped its bounds. A species of owl that are so stupid they can only survive in a hole in a special spot in Nevada, aren't important enough to halt construction of projects that will benefit millions of people.  Solar and wind aren't realistic alternatives to coal, oil and nuclear. Cut taxes to encourage alternative energies, but we shouldn't penalize energy sources that are proven to work because some celebrity believes it gave their child asthma 800 miles away. There's nothing wrong with improving technology and ensuring people aren't dying due to toxic waste being dumped in rivers. But at some point you have to accept risk. Open up off shore drilling and improve the oversight.

People were laughing that Trump said repeal 2 regulations for every new one. I think it's genius. He's not saying remove previous laws to create new ones. He's saying if something is so wrong it needs new regulation, we can look at existing regulations, clean them up and consolidate them into one rather than just patching endless regulations that are a minefield to navigate.

I don't think he'll be nominating the head of Exxon to be the State Secretary, but why is that inherently bad?  Why is a one term senator from New York an amazing pick or the life long senator from Massachusetts who married into the Heinz family?  I'm expecting Romney to get it, but would love to see Petraeus. Maybe the CEO of Exxon would be better suited for energy rather than some academic or life long lobbyist who mocks the miners and oil workers behind closed doors.

Read that and tell me how this guy is less of a "racist" than Bannon.  The article has a quote where Ellison is defending the claims that Jews were in on WW2.  This isn't a claim of calling someone of color "boy."  This is actual evidence of Ellison being involved in the holocaust denial and supporting some of the most radical people in the country.  And this is your future leader if you align with the Democratic party.  Yet not a single peep.

If only these "Closer Look" segments would have alerted the public to the problems with Obamacare or Black Lives Matters or Immigration.  People see what they want to see.  None of you were on this forum or any other bitching about the millions who were financially impacted when their premiums rose and could no longer afford insurance.  None of you said "Hey, wait a minute" when Obama decided to let mentally ill people join the military who will never be combat ready because their medication and counseling prevent them from entering a combat zone.  None of you posted any concern when Obama overreached his executive authority and set precedents that you won't enjoy now that Trump can wield that power.  None of you were here advocating how wrong Reid using the nuclear option in 2012, but are shitting your pants now that the GOP has total control and can literally remove the DNC from any control of our federal government.

But keep yucking it up with Samantha Bea and Seth Myers.  The adults will be making sure Trump doesn't kick start WW3 while correcting a lot of the damage the Obama administration has enabled the past 8 years.
