There was speculation about Hillary's position and all that, but for the most part the media were all in a haze from being drunk/high all the time from celebrating.

Now, a lot of them are drowning their sorrows, but the sober ones are trying to de-legitimize Trump before he even takes office. They're running the 2000 game plan all over again.

when the media found out the Obama admin/NSA was spying on them they scrutinized him for about 3 days and then dropped it

They're going to scrutinize every thing that Trump does. Get used to it.

I don't remember them criticizing as harshly but I would also expect what I got from obama. He's a party loyalist who was gonna have help picking all those positions.

No one knows what the he'll Trump is gonna do.

Of course I don't think there was near as much drama surrounding it with the steady stream of hiring and firing that's gone on so far with it with Trump. Did Obama have similar follys or was it all pretty standard?

Fox just showed a chart with time frame of past 7 president appointment announcements. Only Bush 41 made appointments in first 2 weeks. Obame made first appointment week 3.

I member.

They threw a brief hissy fit, got called in to the White House for a secret meeting, and then rolled over for their master.

And the majority of America is going to ignore their shrill rhetoric. Get used to that.

Yes. I pretty much expect that they will scrutinize everything he does even how he pees. But I was just curious if other presidents were scrutinized the same way during the transition.

Someone did bring up a good point that no one really knows what he's going to do. Even his own party. so I guess that does make it interesting

it's just annoying me how they are acting like he's unprepared or unfit. I think he's taking his time because these are important decisions to make and he wants to make sure he puts incorruptible people in these positions. He made a promise to the people to get rid of all the corrupt individuals in Washington and making sure he appoints incorruptible persons is the first step in keeping this promise. So I'm cool with him taking his time.

Which his first step was to hire a bunch of them to transition team. Second step was firing head of transition team. Third step was putting vp in charge of transition team and then firing all the lobbyist from the team.


Consider you have a startup and you select a guy for ceo. He then hires a full project team to consult and staff the company. Then turns around and fires a bunch of them and replaces the project manager. Would you feel confident in your startup?

He tested Christie's loyalty and he failed the test so he got rid of him

I don't give a rats butt about the startup. As long as the finished product is solid and not swamp material I'm happy as a clam

Trump is gonna MAGA bitchez!!!!!

No

Good news is Trump is going to call them out and combat them every step of the way unlike any other republican candidate would have.

Make no mistake - that's not necessarily a bad thing. The media is supposed to traditionally be a watchdog. But it is shameful when they conveniently "forgot" to do their jobs for a decade, but will do it now with no mercy. And half of it will be deliberate hit pieces.

It shows poor judgement in an area Trump was expected to be excellent at. He's gonna be surrounded by the best people and drain the swamp? Hardly seems like it so far.

Fair enough. I guess I'm just more of an operations guy. You gotta do the little things right in order to get the big victories.

The media is bought and paid for by the Dem-wits. This is not even debatable.
