And in some cases it may backfire.

I was all set to order something from LL Bean, but they were out of stock. They were my first choice because the heat that was put on them. They deserve the business , anything I ever bought was excellent, they employ many , and still make some things here.

I once has a 5 year old jacket that I sent back with a broken zipper, asked for it to be repaired. They sent back a brand new one. That's the type of Company that the Progressives will attack over Politics.

If only there were a place that you could send back brain damaged libs and get new ones, better yet don't leave a return address.

Are you suggesting that the President doesn't have the support of the military? You should be arrested for being criminally ignorant.

Yes they aren't on his side. They just responded to Elijah Cummings question on whether Flynn got permission to accept payment from foreign government as per the law.

He didn't .

Bill Gertz, author of the book "iWar: War and Peace in the Information Age"

Former CIA operations officer Brad Johnson, quote, “If the CIA were directed to conduct information warfare today, it would be unable to do so because it no longer has an effective and capable directorate of operations.”

This has been politicization that has been underway for a long time, and it has accelerated under John Brennan where what happened was they took political appointees, turned them into analysts, most of them come from the left-wing academic community anyway. And then they send them down to this training center near Williamsburg, and they give them a perfunctory course in the directorate of operations —make them spies. That is the problem. I mean, the academic community, that’s become an anti-American system. They are part of the new left radicalism that made the long march through the institutions. And they reached their zenith under the Obama administration.

It is purposeful. One of the startling things I uncovered from some of these leaks that came out during the campaign was that it was a vetting report for Susan Rice, who would go on to become Obama’s national security adviser. And the vetting report said that she shares the president’s view that the United States must engage America’s enemies, literally. It says that was one of the driving policies of President Obama was to engage America’s enemies. So you have the chance to help Iran become a more democratic place back in 2009. Instead, he sided with the mullahs. Same thing with Cuba. Same thing with Russia and China. This is a guy who has damaged national security in ways that are going to be felt for decades.

And the useful idiots who once protested the deep state now support it because Trump is their target.

GLENN GREENWALD: The deep state, although there’s no precise or scientific definition, generally refers to the agencies in Washington that are permanent power factions. They stay and exercise power even as presidents who are elected come and go. They typically exercise their power in secret, in the dark, and so they’re barely subject to democratic accountability, if they’re subject to it at all. It’s agencies like the CIA, the NSA and the other intelligence agencies, that are essentially designed to disseminate disinformation and deceit and propaganda, and have a long history of doing not only that, but also have a long history of the world’s worst war crimes, atrocities and death squads. This is who not just people like Bill Kristol, but lots of Democrats are placing their faith in, are trying to empower, are cheering for as they exert power separate and apart from—in fact, in opposition to—the political officials to whom they’re supposed to be subordinate.And you go—this is not just about Russia. You go all the way back to the campaign, and what you saw was that leading members of the intelligence community, including Mike Morell, who was the acting CIA chief under President Obama, and Michael Hayden, who ran both the CIA and the NSA under George W. Bush, were very outspoken supporters of Hillary Clinton. In fact, Michael Morell went to The New York Times, and Michael Hayden went to The Washington Post, during the campaign to praise Hillary Clinton and to say that Donald Trump had become a recruit of Russia. The CIA and the intelligence community were vehemently in support of Clinton and vehemently opposed to Trump, from the beginning. And the reason was, was because they liked Hillary Clinton’s policies better than they liked Donald Trump’s. One of the main priorities of the CIA for the last five years has been a proxy war in Syria, designed to achieve regime change with the Assad regime. Hillary Clinton was not only for that, she was critical of Obama for not allowing it to go further, and wanted to impose a no-fly zone in Syria and confront the Russians. Donald Trump took exactly the opposite view. He said we shouldn’t care who rules Syria; we should allow the Russians, and even help the Russians, kill ISIS and al-Qaeda and other people in Syria. So, Trump’s agenda that he ran on was completely antithetical to what the CIA wanted. Clinton’s was exactly what the CIA wanted, and so they were behind her. And so, they’ve been trying to undermine Trump for many months throughout the election. And now that he won, they are not just undermining him with leaks, but actively subverting him. There’s claims that they’re withholding information from him, on the grounds that they don’t think he should have it and can be trusted with it. They are empowering themselves to enact policy...... having the Democratic Party engage in self-critique to ask itself how it can be a more effective political force in the United States after it has collapsed on all levels. That isn’t what this resistance is now doing. What they’re doing instead is trying to take maybe the only faction worse than Donald Trump, which is the deep state, the CIA, with its histories of atrocities, and say they ought to almost engage in like a soft coup, where they take the elected president and prevent him from enacting his policies. And I think it is extremely dangerous to do that. Even if you’re somebody who believes that both the CIA and the deep state, on the one hand, and the Trump presidency, on the other, are extremely dangerous, as I do, there’s a huge difference between the two, which is that Trump was democratically elected and is subject to democratic controls, as these courts just demonstrated and as the media is showing, as citizens are proving. But on the other hand, the CIA was elected by nobody. They’re barely subject to democratic controls at all. And so, to urge that the CIA and the intelligence community empower itself to undermine the elected branches of government is insanity. That is a prescription for destroying democracy overnight in the name of saving it. And yet that’s what so many, not just neocons, but the neocons’ allies in the Democratic Party, are now urging and cheering. And it’s incredibly warped and dangerous to watch them do that.

Inherited mess?

I guess you are referring to peace and prosperity . Yes trump is obviously trying to put an end to that. Except for prosperity for him and his cronies.

Obamacare repeal goi g to make employee provided health care premiums taxable? Gonna lose middle class White support there. Medicaid expansion gone? Gonna lose some white welfare supporters there.

How low can he go in support? That's the question.

Did you just equate peace and prosperity with the Obama administration?????

Obama leaves legacy of death, destruction in Middle East

As far as losing white welfare support, they'll be working again thanks to Trump.

Nonsense. What is the " normal flow"?
The " normal flow " is influenced by the conditions. Just like we saw a sprint to the border down south when Trump won the election, when you have a threat of the door closing, you make a mad dash for the exit. People from those 7 countries have no idea if the Order will be reinstated, or if the ban on the Order will hold. Would you take that chance?

Common sense dictates that anyone who has eyes on getting in from those 7 countries is going to get here fast, and those that may have wanted to leave here, and come back from there at a later date are rethinking that strategy.

Progressives do not possess common sense.

I was all set to order something from LL Bean, but they were out of stock. They were my first choice because the heat that was put on them. They deserve the business , anything I ever bought was excellent, they employ many , and still make some things here.

I have a retired friend who works at LL Bean during the holidays shipping orders out. He' s still working in February and says business has never been better. They are indeed backlogged as a result.

Polls have found that even if Trump himself flunks popularity polls, his measures are immensely popular with voters. A Morning Consult/Politicosurvey*conducted during the first week of February found that the Trump executive orders deemed most controversial by commentators and the news media actually enjoy the approval of either majorities or clear pluralities of Americans registered to vote. Ending federal support for sanctuary cities tops the list: 55% of those surveyed endorse the idea, and only 33% oppose it. The border wall wins by 48% to 42%, the deep-sixing of the Pacific trade deal by 47% to 33%.On his first Monday in office, Trump signed an order reinstating President*Reagan’s “Mexico City policy”: no more U.S. aid to international health organizations that perform or promote abortions. That was a 47% to 42% popularity victory for Trump. Even more popular was his order giving federal agencies broad power to relax and even eliminate an array of Obamacare taxes and regulations. Some 49% of those surveyed in the Politico poll approve of the order, in contrast to 41% who disapprove. As for that order halting travel from the seven Muslim-majority countries, Trump may have lost — so far — in federal court, but he is not losing in the court of public opinion. The Politico poll found that 55% of registered voters support the travel ban, while only 38% disapprove. (A Jan. 31 Reuters poll yielded a somewhat smaller margin of victory for Trump, with 49% approving the ban and 41% disapproving, while a CNN poll released Feb. 3 yielded 53% disapproval of the ban, contrasted to 47% approval.)

Seventeen days before the Obama administration's term ended, they loosened the rules around confidential wire tapping. The new rules allow for a broader sharing of information gathered from wire tapping. Now more agencies and many more people are privy to sensitive and private communications.

Eight years in office and they choose to do this just 17 days before leaving? Who could benefit from this?

Can't let this one go.
Prosperity for Trump and his cronies - really? Did you not notice that Trump is a fairly wealthy guy and his family is doing okay. Most of his cronies are annually mentioned in the Forbes list of billionaires. I don't think he sought public office to enrich himself further. That has to be the most foolish statement I have ever read on this site. He could be in retirement and literally doing whatever he feels like doing, instead he is subjected to a daily onslaught of ridicule directed at him and his family. Do you really believe he's doing this for the money?

His predecessor is the case study in using political office for personal gain. Community organizer making say $50,000, to Senator $180,000? plus huge benefits, to President where he and the family are set up to live like royalty for life.

Anthony Shaffer is a retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and security analyst who gained fame for his claims about mishandled intelligence before the September 11 attacks.

I put this right at the feet of John Brennan and Jim Clapper. And I would even go so far as to say the White House was directly involved before they left. I’d put this in the forum of Ben Rhodes and those folks. Let’s be clear on this. I’ve watched this very carefully, the coverage. And when you have NBC reporting that they’ve talked to six officials who have seen the transcript, someone is basically giving away both sensitive methods, the fact that they read a communication that was intercepted by sensitive methods. And more importantly, they’re saying that they saw this information which was beyond top secret, which tells me that clearly, someone had to have access to that and that is a key issue. Who leaked that information?

The implication made by these officials to NBC and these other outlets was that there was something sinister in it, which, I agree with Sean Spicer. I don’t believe for a minute that there was anything in there that was illegal. Mike Flynn is a pretty smart guy. He knows his phone calls are probably going to be intercepted or reviewed at some point. I’m sure he talked about sanctions but not in the way that it was portrayed by the left.... the fingers that they are going to be finding are pointing back at the former White House and some Democrats. The Democrats have been behind this and I would go so far to say some of the Republicans have also been involved in some of the leaks."

And remember who Ben Rhodes is. Brother to CBS News president, David Rhodes and the guy who manipulated the news media because, in his words, "The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns.... They literally know nothing..... We created an echo chamber. They [the seemingly independent experts] were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.” The hubris of this past administration knows no limit.
