National gun permit reciprocity for travelers and nonresidents is a good idea. Let the individual states continue to regulate their residents but for nonresidents there should be reciprocity.
Mattis (no surprise here) is a good pick for DOD. Congress will grant him a waiver and he will be easily confirmed. Mattis will return DOD to its mission of defending this country.
Funny how the gun map looks similar to Kid Rock’s map. Another reason to like him.

That photo was obviously photoshopped. Look at the shirt crease underneath the states of New York and Maine, yet the shirt remains straight.
Algore wants Electoral College gone….LOL! To quote Gomer, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!”

Regarding ongoing press feuds with Trump, look for him to actually curtail WH access with those outlets he believes haven’t covered him “fairly.” His supporters will love that! The supporters at the Ohio “Thank You” rally were whipped up into a frenzy. If he tells them to call their Congressmen, they’ll call. Same for NY Times or anyone else. Switchboards will melt. The media has to be fuming!!! Too much fun, people, too much fun!
I’m just telling you the way it’s gonna be. The media better return to truth telling/objectivity or find itself sitting alone on the tarmac. They can whine all they want!
Dems keeping to form. Rascist Keith Ellison for DNC Chair! Lol! Just where in The South was his Black State gonna be?!
If Trump could avoid making enemies of all our major trading partners before he takes the oath, that would be nice. Why is he avoiding intelligence briefings? Why is he holding the State Dept. at arm’s length? Why create a major incident?
Is he uneducated on Taiwan? Does he not read the various protocols?
Did the US elect a foolish little man who won’t take advice or direction?
I’ve never seen the Libs more apoplectic over a phone call! Lol!!! Is Trump not allowed to take a congratulatory call ?? Y’all are hilarious!! Please keep up the histrionics!
Don’t be willfully dim. There are diplomatic proprieties that matter and they go beyond the kind of partisanship you enjoy.
You’re right. I’ll call Trump and have him watch “Protocol ” with Goldie Hawn immediately!! Does your dissatisfaction with partisanship extend to almost all of the mainstream media who was openly acting as an arm of the DNC during the entire campaign? Just curious…
Try to follow: if the media had been just as much pro-Trump tub-thumpers as Breitbart and Hannity, the call would still have been reckless and short-sighted. Media support or lack of it doesn’t give a pass to ill-considered actions. Got it?
I’m reminded of a big, cute red Reset Button that Hillary presented to the Russians. How freaking embarrassing to the US Gov’t! Seriously, we’re still being laughed at in the halls of the Kremlin for that amateur- hour stunt. I think Mao Zedong will get over a five minute cell phone call. Relax. I think you’ll feel better if you watch stop number two of Trump’s Victory Tour tonight !
China is not an ally. Our relationship is business only. We buy their goods, they buy our debt and steal our intellectual property.
As for stopping the North Korean nuclear weapons program, China has been useless. The North Koreans continue to build nuclear weapons.
Please continue to parrot the democrat line on all issues. Your comments are 100% predictable.
But the Russians never hacked Hillary, right?? Lol! Get ready for a new world, Andrew.
Maureen Dowd sticks it…

More hatefulness under the guise of humor and journalism.
You know what this country hates more than anything else-bullies and gloaters.
So keep it up Trump supporters. Keep yelling we won. Keep laughing over silly tweets while your beloved son attends lavish costume parties at mansions and plots to kick you and grandma off Medicare while cutting taxes on the ultra rich..
When the mass revulsion hits DC and Paul Ryan finds his balls again, any Trump initiative will be dead on arrival.
It’s already sinking in to his supporters that they have been conned. Just wait till he messes with social security, Medicare and trying to repeal the ACA. So laugh it up. You got maybe 2-3 months before reality (not reality TV) sets in.
The people hate Snowflakes and whiners more than your so-called gloaters. Move on. Find a way for your side to do better next time.
Name calling. Classy. As usual.
Trump will be caught in a perfect vise of those who didn’t vote for him (2.5 plus million more for HRC) and those who will be financially hurt immediately when the ACA is repealed, Medicare is stripped and privatized, and Social Security is stripped and privatized. Add the maroons that really thought he was building a Mexican wall, or the maroons that really thought he was a job creator (shake down money much?-Carrier played him like a violin) His only real constituency at that point will be his racist friends.
We will see who is laughing then.
You forgot to put a direct reference to slavery in with all of that caterwauling. You’re slipping…
A couple of contrasting views on our treatment of Cuba I found interesting:
Blame Castro for Cuba’s poverty, but the US blockade didn’t help either (from Business Insider).

The Case for the Cuba Embargo (from The Atlantic).

We are on the cusp of change in relations with a country where we fomented revolution, allowed our own oligarchs to puppet rule over half a century with despots, and then attacked, both politically and physically another group of despots over another half-century. Regardless of political alignments we have not entirely been the white hats our politicians have tried to portray in our dealings with this near neighbor going all the way back to the trumped up Spanish American War. With the “diplomacy” signalled by our President-elect I am not hopeful it will improve.
