Update(s)DoJ (Department of Justice) решил вернуть должное Джеймсу Комей и
открыл своё расследование против директорa ФБР. Напомню, что за несколько дней до выборов Комей известил конгресс о возобновлении следствия по делу Клинтоновского сервера. Считается, что этот финт оказал значительное влияние на исход выборов.

заявление Трампа, что Меркель вела неправильную т.н.
иммиграционную политику, текущий госсекретарь Джон Керри
заявил, что не подобает влазить в политику других стран таким прямым образом. Видимо гоcподин Керри позабыл, как прошлым летом Обама в Лондоне
шантажировал призывал британцев голосовать против Брекзита. Уж не говоря о Нуландах с пряниками, арабских вёснах и т.д. А, и еще: критиковать политику Меркель нельзя. А
прослушивать её телефонные разговоры и
других европейских лидеров - очевидно, можно.

На прошлой неделе
конгресс заслушивал Трамповских кандидатов на посты в Кабинете.
Кандидат на пост госсекретаря, заслуженный орденоносец "Дружбы Народов" Рэкс Тиллерсон разошелся во мненияс Трампом по многим вопросам, так же как и кандидаты на пост главы Пентагона, ЦРУ и Генпрокурора. Вопросы касались естественно, русской угрозы и вмешательствa в выборы, Иранской тематики, иммиграции и прочее. Трамп заявил, что это нормально -- иметь разные мнения. То ли он вместе со своими кандидатами сговорился, чтобы они поддакивали и дурили Конгресс для прохождения на пост, то ли они поддакивали Трампу на собеседовании, чтобы получить предложение от Трампа и надурить его.

Неожиданный взгляд на наследие уходящего президента Обама. "Многабукав", поэтому под катом.
(Оффтоп)
"One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream!
She gives us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation. When discussing Obama, she says:
1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.
2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.
3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE!
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2016, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was outing the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one term, Obama put a stop to all of this and gave the House and the Senate - back to the Republicans.
4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow and spend. Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America. Liberals want to take over the economy. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone. Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.
5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one term, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement
and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!
6. Obama, with his "amazing leadership, "has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen.
Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.
7. In all honesty, 4 years ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going.
I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.
8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans! Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!
9. He has saved Carter’s legacy and made Jimmy Carter happy, since Jimmy is no longer the worst president we've ever had. Credit goes to where credit is due. I feel better now!
THANK YOU OBAMA"
