“Draining the swamp” was never a serious consideration, only fodder for the rubes as this attempt on the 1st day shows. Republicans only want to make the swamp an exclusive country club, beyond criticism and more secretive.
What the public doesn’t know won’t hurt Congress. Control information & you control the public.-

Your argument is a logical fail. On day 1 of the new congress, he stopped his own party from weakening ethics standards. You beef is with the republicans, not DJT.-

this quote from Goring seems very accurate.
“[b]the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”[/b]-

Mein Kampf is more accurate regarding the use of propaganda in the contempt for the audience.
All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be extended in this direction.
The more modest its intellectual ballast, the more exclusively it takes into consideration the emotions of the masses, the more effective it will be. And this is the best proof of the soundness or unsoundness of a propaganda campaign, and not success pleasing a few scholars or young aesthetes.
The art of propaganda lies in understanding the emotional ideas of the great masses and finding, through a psychologically correct form, the way to the attention and thence to the heart of the broad masses. The fact that our bright boys do not understand this merely shows how mentally lazy and conceited they are.
Once understood how necessary it is for propaganda in be adjusted to the broad mass, the following rule results:It is a mistake to make propaganda many-sided, like scientific instruction, for instance.
The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.-
IMH0–after seeing Hannity with Assange interview–imho–guilty –I believe the intelligence committee–if Sean is promoting a certain truth the the opposite is true–that’ s just how I see it
Assange has his own rape allegations that he should be looking after–
karma–Trump always had his birther crap and now his own Presidency will have an asterisk of illegitimacy

[url=http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/07/politics/donald-trump-chuck-schumer/]Ethics office warns that Trump nominees are being rushed through without vetting[/url]
“The announced hearing schedule for several nominees who have not completed the ethics review process is of great concern to me,” OGE Director Walter M. Shaub wrote in a letter to New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “This schedule has created undue pressure on OGE’s staff and agency ethics officials to rush through these important reviews.”
Shaub — who said OGE hasn’t received initial drafts from some nominees — continued: “I am not aware of any occasion in the four decades since OGE was established when the Senate held a confirmation hearing before the nominee had completed the ethics review process.”
…Nominees who are appointed by the President to positions that require Senate confirmation have to obtain OGE’s certification of their financial disclosure reports. And nominees must also “make current” their financial disclosure reports by the date of the hearing, added Shaub, who said it would be “cause for alarm” if the Senate proceeded with hearings before OGE has certified nominees’ reports.

It is really just sad what the GOP has become…
“The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate plans to rush forward this week with confirmation hearings for many of Donald Trumps nominees for cabinet and other key executive positions. Though many of the picks [link=http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/07/us/politics/senate-confirmation-hearings-background-checks.html?_r=0]have not yet completed[/link] the customarily required ethics clearances and background checks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has shown no willingness to delay.”

Why does the site matter if the letter is from McConnell? Or do we ignore the content because you don’t like the messenger?
I am always amazed at the degree of rationalization that goes on in the mind of Republicans. In this case I would think there is a common sense middle ground and yes this is the kind of thing that should be standardized…but what else should we expect from the group that does not want independent ethics investigations-

I’m not questioning the validity of the content and do not agree with what the Republicans are trying to do…that site (which I never encountered before) was slanted leftward, as a moderate/independent I was just curious to see the rightward equivalent, not so much for this particular issue but rather for issues across the board…

Jeff Sessions no.
Rex Tillerson OK.
I’m interested in hearing what DeVos has to say but looks like the hearings might be getting delayed.

Trump has insulted a lot of people but never Putin or Russia–marinate on that before the inauguration and it seems Rex is not there to call Putin a war criminal
-remember he was like Russia hack some more -
if he was offered 2 bill by Dubai–he should have called the Feds-no just the impression call my sons
but the gift issue is gaining importance–like no Trump lawyer just because you say revenue earned at the DC hotel is not a gift does not make it true–Uncle Sam wants his gifts

You can say what you want about Trump, but he is the 45th President. You can
call him dumb or an idiot but I believe he won the election because he had a better
pulse on the average citizen of the USA. Listen, I live in NYC and you can forget about
the rest of the country sometimes, but Trump didn’t. There are large areas in the middle
of this country that are hurting because of the economy and loss of jobs. Trump campaigned
everywhere unlike Hilary who assumed she didn’t need to. The people in the middle of the
country who are struggling to make ends meet care about jobs and the economy. That is
their main concern. The guy trying to feed his family couldn’t give a damn about Transgender
bathrooms in every building. There is a simple rule in politics: its always about the economy
and jobs. Will be interesting to see if the democrats have learned anything from this election. -

A continuation of the Right’s argument, “All is sh1t! There is nothing good. There is no one that is good.”
But that argument is sh1t and empty. This partisanship is a result of right-wing history and grab for power. See Goldwater:I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
See Reagan:“government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
See Newt:
In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
AND
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.There are the Republicans circling the wagons in the excuse for the Iraq War so anyone questioning the propaganda and lies was unpatriotic, especially Democrats and liberals.
There is Sarah Palin, VP candidate, who says everyone not in agreement with her is not a real American. As opposed to Obama who said we are all Americans.There are the Republicans who insisted Obama is a Muslim, a terrorist born in Kenya who was destroying the Constitution with his black helicopters and “blacks” in general.
Now we have a President who started his campaign with the lie that Obama was born in Kenya.
And you say that bother sides are equally bad?
So prove it please. Set out some examples outside of Fox and Limbaugh, et al.
It is my opinion that Obama will come out as a much better President than Dubbya or Trump. Or Reagan or Clinton. Trump has everything to prove but so far his words and actions leave much doubt that he will be a consequential President outside of the damage he does. Trump did echo Obama yesterday saying we are all Americans but outside of that his rhetoric and actions have proven that belief a lie.
So we will see.

Was nice to hear a President who truly loves the USA. Me and 3 friends have arranged a protest for tomorrow at Trump Doral. Protest begins at 10:12am at the 1st hole and will end on the 18th hole. Off to Teterboro to Miami.
Peace out!!!-
Don’t worry, I’m around & will stay. Thanks for concern but Trump is definitely NOT a reason for suicide. If anything, he’s a reason to remember my youth in the 1960’s and protests against government and the war and fighting for civil rights.
Good times. Not the complacency of the 1950’s. Or 2016. I look forward to people getting interested again in WHY we want good =government instead of taking it for granted. There are always Liars and Demagogues and Authoritarians around to fight against.
I have children and grandchildren to fight for. Trump & his enablers like you just clarified the fight for most of us.

Why is he going to bat for these little white lies? Like most watched inauguration, or people all the way to monument. I didn’t call out the CIA. His ratings are more important than his job.

Everything is great. Trump was elected because the middle class of this country felt they were doing too
well to continue Obamas agenda. They just didn’t know what to do with all the extra money they made on
the stock market. So they voted for Trump to reverse their good fortunes. Logical.-

Mr. Ansari reflected on the ascent of what he called this new lower-case K.K.K. movement that started this kind of casual white supremacy, which includes people who tell him to go back to where he came from, but dont know his heritage. (Theyre not usually geography buffs, he said.)
My parents moved from India to South Carolina in the early 80s, Mr. Ansari said. They didnt move until nine years ago. You know where they moved? North Carolina. They love it here. Theyre not leaving.
He continued: I think Trump should make a speech. A real speech denouncing the lower-case K.K.K. Dont tweet about me being lame or the show. Write a speech. A real speech.
Mr. Ansari pointed out that President George W. Bush made a speech after the Sept. 11 attacks in which he said its perpetrators did not represent Islam.
Everyone applauded Democrats, Republicans, didnt matter, Mr. Ansari said. It was not about politics. It was about basic human decency and remembering why the country was founded in the first place.
He continued: I was like, what the hell has happened? Im sitting here wistfully watching old George W. Bush speeches?-
The more relevant Aziz Ansari quote:
[i]”We cant demonize everyone that voted for Trump. Some people are like, everyone that voted for Trump is a dumb racist misogynist homophobe. Hold on. Were talking about 63 million people. You know? Dont judge them by their words. Im sure theres some people that had different political priorities. Im sure theres some people that voted for him with reservations.[/i]
[i]Im sure theres a lot of people voted for Trump the same way a lot of people listen to the music of Chris Brown, where its like, Hey, man! Im just here for the tunes. Im just here for the tunes! I dont know about that other stuff. I just like the dancing and the music. I dont condone the extracurriculars.[/i]
[i]If you think about it, Donald Trump is basically the Chris Brown of politics. And Make America Great Again is his These hoes aint loyal.[/i]
Keep marching and pouting. I’m going to enjoy some good beats…

Quote from Frumious

But protest is pouting in your example.
So Suffragettes were pouting, anti-war protests for manufactured wars like the Vietnam and Iraq War were pouting, Tea Baggers were pouting, pro and anti-NRA demonstrations are pouting, women supporting women’s rights are pouting, women today demonstrating for their threatened rights are pouting, etc, etc, etc.
You’re “adult” behavior is to put in your headphones and zone out listening to tunes.
That’s adult? That’s your complex response to a “complex” world?
Hmmm, lost in translation I think.-
There’s a difference between protesting with a purpose and specific agenda (women’s right to vote, civil rights, LGBT rights) and what yesterday’s nonsense was.
There are things worth protesting such as unequal pay for women. But yesterday’s protest was just a disorganized and pointless mess. It was a visceral response to the election of an abhorrent presidential candidate. That’s called pouting.
For the record: I didn’t vote for Trump. I hate Trump as a person. 80% of what comes out of his mouth is pointless drivel. But he actually addressed some core economic issues of the blue-collar class in the election and that’s the reason he won. And as someone from a blue collar background, I can appreciate the plight of the people who voted for Trump. 63 million people didn’t vote for him simply because they’re against women’s rights or because they’re racist. There are some – too many, in fact – but they’re the minority. Despite what the protesters think.
I’m for protesting. Not pouting.

I’m in the Chicago area. I was driving downtown yesterday on a side street a mile away from the demonstration in Grant Park (not the main protest area) and a dozen “protesters” walked in the middle of the street and blocked traffic for about 6 or 7 cars. The “leader” walked up to all the drivers side doors with a megaphone and chanting some nonsense about Trump. People started honking their cars for the “protesters” to get out of the way and the “protesters” started pounding on the cars with their fists — all because some innocent people (many of whom probably didn’t vote for Trump, like myself) simply wanted to be on their way.
This is protesting? No. This is what happens when we teach the younger generation that it’s OK to pout.-
Big deal.You are offended that some protesters weren’t polite enough. And you disagree with their subject.
During Johnson’s Administration, during Nixon’s Administration we protested, the “adults” didn’t like the protests calling us anti-American, wrong-headed, dirty, immature, lazy, spoiled, etc. then too, exactly the same as the complaints are today. Nixon also declared he was representative of the original “Silent Majority” who supported the war and his other actions that the protesters opposed.
One does not protest for the liking of the target and supporters in mind, it’s “protest.” It’s a declaration of public opposition. You might not like how the protest of the women around the world was expressed but that is free speech and their – our right still. And it’s their opinion, our opinion.-
Isn’t part of protesting drawing support for your cause (beside simply bringing attention to it)? You don’t have to be polite, but you’re not winning me over by vandalizing my property.
You want to start a pyre in a public space and burn a flag? Go for it. You want to picket outside the White House? Please do. But don’t assault me when I’m a mile away from the organized protesting venue. You just did the exact opposite of what the protest was aimed to do. You just made a case for your opposition.
You pouted instead of protested, and now your cause is weaker for it.

There were a small number of protesters who engaged in property damage. The vast majority did not damage anyone’s property. The HUUUGE world-wide women’s march on Saturday did not engage in any property damage that I’m aware of.
Are you?
If you are going to blame the vast majority on the antics of a very few you either never believed in their cause or were even hostile to it from the start or you are naive and easily taken in by the propaganda of the side that portrayed the demonstrators as only violent.
Broad brushstroke portrayals are more about the painter’s technique and bias than about the reality of the portrait.The Tea Party engaged in intimidation in-your-face antics like threatening people with guns even to the point of drawing guns on people and Federal officers. But that’s OK? Can’t say they got me on their side using those tactics. Frankly, I don’t think they cared.

It’s like this, eyeare, back to Aziz Ansari’s bit, at the very end explains it all where he says that we will all be alright for the next 4 years, that is it not so much Presidents who make change but large groups of very angry citizens; looking at the crowd at Trump’s Inauguration it is evident that WE are the large group or very angry people.
It’s not about changing the results of the election, it’s about making sure that Trump and the GOP Congress do minimal damage to the country.-

Spin and cherry picking is not the most accurate way to tell a true tale. Start with the assessment was that it was never winnable in the 1st place for very many reasons. The French learned that first. And we were always trying to bolster up a corrupt divided system in the South, something that was in place also in Iraq before Obama inherited the mess. -

One name that pops up currently and relates back to Vietnam, Kissinger. I’m of the Bernie Sanders mind set that he’s a very bad person. He also happens to be besties with HRC and Putin. I believe I just read about him and his aspiration of USA/Russian relations. So hopefully Trump stays away from him like he’s the plague. -

Another thin-skinned President, a return to Nixon, only worse. This President repeats lies for nothing more than to boost his ego. Ths chutzpah, even when he declared something in the previous sentence he feels he can deny it & the declares the press is lying as they show the video of his prior statement.
The best way to get under his skin is to keep repeating the truths in the face of his and his staff’s denials declaring “alternate facts.” As in “alternate reality.” They and Trump’s supporters have all taken the blue pill while we have had no need of the red pill as we all live in reality already.
Even polite and boring NPR is debating where to call “a spade, a spade” and call the declarations of Trump actual “lies” but are tripping over “intent.” Does Trump intend to deliberately deceive or is merely delusional is their dilemma.
I think he knows the difference & actually does intend to deceive but really doesn’t give a rat’s patooti of the difference so long as he can bask in the glory of the declaration & blind belief.

Embellished story. The book sales increase every spring because school kids are reading it. Sales also go up with other events such as presidential elections. The Snowden story also saw increase in 2013. According to publisher it is 36000 increase from last year. While it is more it is hardly a mad rush. Of course media and left is running w story and publisher has not released total sale trends over the years but then why would they because media story helps their sales.
-
Perhaps but really, a President whose chief media representative talks about “alternative facts” is worthy of serious consideration? I do see “1984” in this Administration with what they say.
You’d be spastic if an Obama rep came out & spoke of “alternative facts” for very good reason. As would I. Alternative facts are not facts at all, but the opposite. Let’s face it, she didn’t say alternative opinion. -

Donald Trump may not be a big reader, but hes been a boon for sales of dystopian literature. Amid our thirst for adult coloring books and stories about missing girls and reincarnated puppies, some grim old classics are speaking to us with new urgency. Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 , Aldous Huxleys Brave New World and Margaret Atwoods The Handmaids Tale have all risen up the latest paperback bestseller list.
But by far the greatest beneficiary of our newly piqued national anxiety is George Orwells 1984.
Soon after senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday that the administration was issuing alternative facts, Orwells classic novel spiked to No. 1 on Amazon. Like officials from the Ministry of Truth, Conway and White House press secretary Sean Spicer doubled down on Trumps fanciful contention that his inauguration drew the largest audience ever, despite a Web-full of photographic evidence to the contrary. The Twittersphere responded with allusions to 1984, and Penguin announced plans for a special 75,000-copy reprint , noting that since the inauguration, sales for the novel have increased by 9,500 percent.Leaders have always tried to manipulate the truth, of course, and modern politicians of all persuasions want to control the narrative, but theres something freshly audacious about the presidents assault on basic math, his effort to assemble from the substance of his vanity hundreds of thousands of fans on the Mall.
Besides, Orwell wasnt writing about a particular party. Although he was inspired by full-scale abuses in the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, he was also borrowing from the methods of communication control he had witnessed in Britain. He was describing, in other words, the basic function of power, the tendency of leaders and governments from Conservatives to Anarchists to cement their authority by controlling our language and by extension our thought and behavior.
Another book of interest, Sinclair Lewis.
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/17/books/review/classic-novel-that-predicted-trump-sinclar-lewis-it-cant-happen-here.html]https://www.nytimes.com/2…-cant-happen-here.html[/link]It Cant Happen Here is a work of dystopian fantasy, one mans effort in the 1930s to imagine what it might look like if fascism came to America. At the time, the obvious specter was Adolf Hitler, whose rise to power in Germany provoked fears that men like the Louisiana senator Huey Long or the radio priest Charles Coughlin might accomplish a similar feat in the United States. Today, Lewiss novel is making a comeback as an analogy for the Age of Trump. Within a week of the 2016 election, the book was reportedly sold out on Amazon.com.
And of course there is, “The Man In The High Castle” by Philip K. DIck (I just know Aunt Minnie will *** out Philip’s last name.)

More to the story – they are required to submit resignations when the administration changes. If the new administration wants to keep they can.

They were mostly political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president. Big todo about nothing.
[i]In a statement, acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner said all of the politically appointed officers were asked to submit letters of resignation, something he said was typical in a transition.[/i]
[i]
[/i]
[i]”Of the officers whose resignations were accepted, some will continue in the Foreign Service in other positions, and others will retire by choice or because they have exceeded the time limits of their grade in service,” Toner said in the statement.[/i]
[i]”No officer accepts a political appointment with the expectation that it is unlimited,” he continued. “And all offers that the president may choose to replace them at any time.”[/i]
If anyone who is career state department resigned over the change, it wouldn’t be a great loss. Career civil service means you serve the institution and the country, not the person at the top.-
