    “Old Scrooge found that Christmas wasn’t a humbug. He took to himself the spirit of neighborliness.... In our country neighborliness has gradually spread its boundaries—from town, to county, to state & now at last to the whole nation.” — FDR Xmas Eve 1939

    Luckily, seven year olds know that they shouldn’t take what Donald Trump says seriously.

    Trump asks child if he believes in Santa during NORAD calls: "Because at seven, it's marginal, right?"

    FDR used A Christmas Carol as an instruction manual. The Trump White House merely uses it as a color-coordinated prop.

    Great discussion on with about Trump rapping Patrick Shanahan as acting Secretary of Defense. Shahanan spent three decades at Boeing before joining the Trump administration. Classic military-industrial complex revolving door.

    Trump is forcing Mattis out at year end and has tapped Patrick Shanahan as “acting Secretary of Defense.” I wrote a chapter on Shanahan in Horsemen if the Trumpocalypse. Shamahan is literally the embodiment of the military-industrial complex.

    Donald Trump just admitted that he does not know his Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter Islamic State. Check. Now that we have confirmation on this, Trump should either resign or be impeached.

    Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!
