Some good analysis of how Trump won in this article and related links. Don't have time to go through them in detail, but some look interesting.

Source? Seems insane. But it would be good if true. A top Republican quitting in the middle of his term to make more money at Fox is a great talking point for the Dems.

Just rumors at this point.

Damn Trump approval rating up to 43%. The bar is so low that if he finds a misplaced Air Craft Carrier group it's an accomplishment.

The Chaffetz thing is really bizarre. Best case for him is he got caught cheating on his wife right?

Chaffetz is a charisma vacuum only electable in Utah. No way he's getting a TV show.

He's probably going to run for governor and doesn't want to be tarred by Trump. I mean why would he want to stay in the House when GOP has Congress and the Presidency? You'd actually have to propose laws and such, which is not as easy as doing BS investigations based on fake news.

"We both seek a trading relationship that is balanced - reciprocal. Re-cip-ro-cal. I love the word re-cip-ro-cal. Because we don't have too many re-cip-ro-cal trading partnerships I will tell you that."

Trump on Paris shootings (from news conference w/ Italian PM): "Well first of all, our condolences from our country to the people of France, again it's happening it seems, I just saw it as I was walking in, so that's a terrible thing, and it's a very very terrible thing that's going on in the world today, but it looks like another terrorist attack, and...what can you say? It just never ends. We have to be strong and we have to be vigilant and I've been saying it for a long time."

Trump on healthcare plan from Italian PM conference:

"You know, there was never a give-up," Trump said. "The press sort of reported there was like a give-up. There's no give-up."

EDIT: For those who don't know, Trump was the one who gave up lol. The press reported what he said.

Canada, what they've done to our dairy farm workers, it's a disgrace,' says Mr Trump.

Was wondering when he'd get around to insulting canada. He hadn't done that yet.

We all were hoping he forgot to start trade wars, but nope, he's back on that platform again.

Who wants prices of goods to skyrocket and salaries who aren't CEO's to go nowhere?

I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and Constitutional power."

Jeff Sessions said this.

Hawaii is just an island on the pacific and not a state, good to know.

Andrew Jackson would ask Trump to hold his beer.

well assange's main position doesn't change much, even tho he's free to walk in the UK, sweden called dibs. It's just whether US can pressure ecuador to giving him up but trump likes the guy and definitely might pardon him. Weird spot everybody's in.

surprised the pic of those three they took in front of the hillary portrait like douchebags wasn't posted in here instead of that one but whatever.

Trump vs IC will probably lead to a lot of weird spots in the coming months.

sarah palin was making a "jerking off" motion with her hand in front of the portrait. or at least it looked like it from the still image, so that's what i'm going to believe happened.

Palin is hot; no shame in admitting it. It's why the GOP had her as VP candidate. This was her photo on the cover of Newsweek.
