#1 Ah yes, trump is running the left up and down the Trump tower like he has fish hooks in their wedding tackle.

#2 HeHeHe Trump should have hired a bunch of people to go in, rush to the elevators, go up, and do nothing for 3-4 hours then come down with big sh*t eating grins on their faces. Just to tweak the Media. Can you imagine the speculations?

#3 Visits to the National Security Council and departments of Defense, Justice and State to lay groundwork for the handover in January marked a rapid acceleration in activity by the transition team, which has been criticized for the slow pace of progress in the first week after the election.

I guess the WT had to wriggle out of their outrageous accusation of Trump being slow and disorganized somehow. This should be more than enough side-pedaling to fool the average WT reader.

Don't think so gorb. Those folks know the drill from the MSM and take everything with a grain of salt or pound or ton. I'd bet that they'd shrug and move on.

Now the news hounds..........................

#5 "Landing Parties" could be perceived to have a Gen. Patton-like sound to it. Now, if only perception and reality meet.

#7 The 2 possibly most corrupt executive branch departments: State and Justice. As I have said elsewhere, I am happily surprised at being so wrong about how Trump would or would not keep his promises, and looking forward to being pleasantly surprised some more if he carries through with his "drain the swamp" approach to these agencies.

#8 Same here OS. His choices have been pretty good, IMHO. Pleasantly surprised. I'll re-evaluate 100 days from Jan. 21st, but so far pretty nice.

#9 I was wrong too OS, although I couldn't let Frank G crawl across that glass alone. :)
