He gave a fortune to charity. What have you ever given, apart from hate, pain, poison and pure evil. You are a stain on humanity. Fuck off.

Chinese mall erects giant Trump rooster statue just in time for his inauguration

Chinese mall erects giant ‘Trump rooster’ statue just in time for his inauguration



http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/chinese-mall-erects-giant-trump-rooster-statue-just-in-time-for-his-inauguration/

A rooster styled to look like President-elect Donald Trump recently became the mascot of a Chinese mall, according to CNN. The giant rooster sculpture of the president-elect — donning his signature hairstyle and hand gestures — will stand outside of a mall in Taiyuan.

Trump’s rooster statue was introduced just weeks before he will be sworn in as the 45th president of the U.S., and as we enter the year of the rooster in the Chinese Zodiac.

Businessman Wei Qing, who is selling replicas of the Trump rooster told CNN, “I think the rooster is very cute and funny, the hairstyle and eyebrows look very much like Donald Trump. I’m sure it will attract a lot of customers.” He said he finds the sculpture “hilarious.”

Why Paul Ryan Is So Desperate To Vote On Obamacare Repeal Quickly

Why Paul Ryan Is So Desperate To Vote On Obamacare Repeal Quickly

A debate could expose enough about the consequences to scare off the public — and maybe Donald Trump too.

House Speaker Paul Ryan has vowed a quick repeal of Obamacare in order to “stop the damage” and because “things are only getting worse.”

***

It’s possible that Ryan thinks these and similarly positive news items are irrelevant ― that the Wisconsin Republican has deluded himself into thinking Obamacare really is an unmitigated policy disaster, rather than a fairly typical government program full of pluses and minuses and the inevitable implementation complications that large reform efforts usually overcome.

It’s also possible that Ryan’s crusade to pass repeal in January has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with politics ― that he wants Congress to vote before the rest of the country, and maybe even the president-elect, wakes up to the real-life changes such a vote would unleash.

Ryan and his allies envision a quick, surgical strike on Obamacare soon after Donald Trump takes office, via what’s come to be known as a “repeal and delay” strategy. The idea is to eliminate Obamacare’s funding, using a special legislative procedure reserved for bills related to the budget, while leaving most of Obamacare’s coverage provisions in place for a year or two or maybe three. In theory, the more than 20 million people now relying on the program would hold onto insurance while Republicans craft their replacement scheme.

Trump Tower Partially Evacuated Due to Suspicious Package

Source: ABC News

The lobby of Trump Tower was briefly evacuated Tuesday amid reports of a suspicious package found in the Manhattan skyscraper, sources said.

The NYPD gave the all clear after investigating the suspicious backpack that was left in the lobby, which they determined contained children's toys.

NYPD and FDNY officials were called to the scene in midtown. The evacuation was protocol for a suspicious package and does not necessarily indicate how serious the situation is.

Footage from outside the tower shows the stream of people leaving the building.

West Virginia official who called Michelle Obama 'ape in heels" fired

Source: Reuters

The director of a West Virginia nonprofit agency who called first lady Michelle Obama "an ape in heels" in a Facebook post has been fired and the institution put under outside management, state officials said on Tuesday.

Pamela Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp (CCDC), which provides services to poor and elderly residents, drew international condemnation after her comment last month about Obama went viral.

She resigned in November but was reinstated last month, prompting West Virginia to review its contracts with the nonprofit.

Democratic Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's office said the state had secured an agreement under which the Appalachian Area Agency on Aging will manage the CCDC for six months.

River in Egypt UPDATE: After 8 years of obstructionism, Fox frets Dems will be "The New Party of NO"

I'm not going to post the link or any content, because I'm not going to "peddle right wing talking points" or send traffic to the Fox site.

So you can trust me, or if you really want to read it you can do a Google search on "New Party of No? Dems prepare for battle with Trump on Cabinet picks, agenda" and you'll find it.

WARNING...if you choose to do so, the page will auto-play a video of smirking and loathsome S.E. Cupp discussing Nancy Pelosi.

Did I mention that she's loathsome?

Oh, and one other thing. She smirks non-stop.

I guess Fox has conveniently forgotten this:

Latino Leaders Who Dumped Donald Trump Now Hopeful Hes Their Guy



Latino Leaders Who Dumped Donald Trump Now Hopeful He’s Their Guy

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/latino-leaders-who-dumped-trump-now-hopeful-hes-their-guy_us_585fffd3e4b0de3a08f5a204

WASHINGTON ― Conservative Latino leaders stopped supporting President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign because of a controversial anti-immigration speech he gave in August. But now that Trump has been elected, they are optimistic that he won’t go as far as he promised.

“I’m back on board,” said Jacob Monty, an immigration attorney in Houston, Texas, who announced his resignation from Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council after the campaign speech.

He did not vote for Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But now, he said, “I’m expecting a lot of good things ... from [Trump] on immigration ― and I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

The president-elect met with his council, a group of Latino leaders from across the country, at Trump Tower in August. At that meeting, he gave members the impression that he was open to considering some form of legalization for undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. But less than two weeks later, Trump made a hardline immigration speech in Phoenix, Arizona, where he promised that the millions of undocumented immigrants would not be able to obtain legal status without returning to their home countries first, regardless of whether or not they have a criminal record.
