Great the deplorables are now spreading false narratives about us.

You know the latest? Melania and Barron Trump are staying in New York so Barron can finish school. They're saying that we're outraged about that, but not about Malia Obama smoking pot and twerking. God damn them!!! Yet they give zero shits about the swastika pro Trump graffiti at Adam Yauch Park. God one week in and I can't take it anymore.

3. I hadn't even heard that Melanoma and her over-privileged spawn are staying in New York.

Honestly, I don't give a shit. In fact, I'm glad they won't be living there. We won't have to worry about her defacing the White House with some tacky, gilded nightmare of a decorating job.

What I don't like is Donald spending all the time in Trump Tower. I think on weekends Melania and Barron should visit the WH not vice versa

note that while they are living lives having to watch every penny, the man they wanted to be president sure does not mind spending extra money for himself. (I am guessing the family staying in New York so much is going to be a big extra expense for SS).

I also find it sort of offensive that they seem to have such disdain for the actual White House. It just not seem good enough for them. But many presidents spent a lot of time working there and some even did it for the American people.

a major factor in Republican election successes. The internet has been flooded with it, and it continues after the election -- to keep conservative voters focused on US instead of realizing what terrible troubles they have caused, and becoming afraid.

Just yesterday I read about the second Hillary murder I've run across since the election. This time it was reporting the death of an FBI agent investigating the Clinton Foundation's sex trafficking.

Floods of lies after the election, appointment as attorney general of viciously unprincipled Jeff Sessions, who has a history of making up phony "evidence" to railroad people into jail--they're coming after Hillary. What better distraction for the mob?

When our president elect calls a fake news outlet (Infowars) to thank them for their support, you know it's a problem.

Alex Jones shouldn't be congratulated by Donald Trump, he should be in a mental institution. The Sandy Hook victims deserve justice, instead the guy who trolled them gets elected president.

Can't picture the germaphobe using a bathroom that's been used by 43 other families...

I do think that if Barron is in fact autistic the last thing you'd want to do is change up his routine. Could be unsettling for the kid. Although not particularly thoughtful for his dad to take a job out of town.

One employee about 50 yrs old and a customer same age talking loudly in an aisle, both were vocal Trump supporters talking about how he really won the popular vote, but the news would never report it, and could they imagine what it would be like if a woman was in charge! I put all my stuff down and walked out. I wrote to the owner about talking to his employees about keeping politics out of the workplace and said I would not be back. I will not be back, even though it is the most convienient store for me. I got the distinct impression that for these two men at least it was about man vs. women, they make me sick.

Although today I was at McDonald's and the group of old guys that are there every week (I swear every McDonald's has a group like this), and I overheard at least two of them saying that having Giuliani as Secretary of State would be an absolute disaster. So that makes me feel like there is a small hope for 2018.
