GET Fing ready ,,,, hope we all get to pick what laws we abide by and which not,,,


Source the New York Times,......

President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to appoint his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as a senior White House adviser very likely violates a federal anti-nepotism law, and shows again how little he seems to care about the legal and ethical obligations of the office he is about to assume.
The language of the law is clear:  "No federal official, including the president, may hire or appoint a relative, including a son-in-law, to “a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control.”
There’s a good reason for anti-nepotism laws, versions of which are also on the books in most states. Government officials seek informal advice and counsel from relatives all the time, but when they appoint or hire those people, they undermine the public’s faith that important posts are being filled with the best possible candidates. And when relatives get security clearance to view classified information and sit in on high-level meetings, it upends delicate dynamics, as senior staff members keep their mouths shut rather than contradict a trusted relative of their boss. Even if Mr. Kushner is technically subordinate to others on the White House staff, he is always first and foremost Mr. Trump’s son-in-law.
The scope of Mr. Kushner’s responsibilities is not clear, but it could be extremely broad. He was by Mr. Trump’s side throughout much of the campaign, an influential voice with impressive contacts. At one point he arranged a meeting between Mr. Trump and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lawyers for Mr. Trump and Mr. Kushner have argued that the appointment is legal because the law applies only to executive branch agencies, and the White House is not an agency. The law, under this reasoning, would bar Mr. Trump from appointing Mr. Kushner to a job in, say, the State Department, not to a senior advisory position in the White House.
But Congress, which passed the measure in 1967 partly in response to President John F. Kennedy’s appointment of his brother Robert to be attorney general, was aiming to curb the negative effects of nepotism throughout government. Concerns about nepotism are, if anything, stronger in a White House appointment, where multiple close advisers and fragile hierarchies can easily become snarled by family allegiances.
In addition to being related to Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner, a 36-year-old real estate investor who is married to Mr. Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, lugs behind him other significant liabilities. Among these are a complete lack of experience in politics or government, and a boatload of conflicts arising from his family’s vast real-estate holdings. 
As recently as November, Mr. Kushner met with major Chinese investors over the redevelopment of his family’s flagship property, a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper he purchased in 2007 for $1.8 billion. Mr. Kushner has said he will sell off his interest in that building and other top investments and resign as the chief executive of the family business, Kushner Companies — but like Mr. Trump, he is keeping those....

Dont look now...

America should not torture. 
Russia is a menace. 
A wall at the Mexican border would not be effective. 
A blanket ban against Muslims is wrong. 
Climate change is a threat.
Those statements are in direct opposition to some of the most significant declarations that President-elect Donald J. Trump made before his improbable ascension to the White House.  
Who's words are these - Hillary  ?,,, nope - That Damn CNN  ?  
Megan Kelly !!  ?? Umm  NO,... Obama ??   Guess again,,, 

They are all the words of your President elects nominees to lead the nation’s most important government agencies.
In their first week of grilling before congressional panels, Mr. Trump’s cabinet nominees broke with him on almost every major policy that has put Mr. Trump outside Republican orthodoxy, particularly in the area of national security.
James N. Mattis, a retired Marine Corps general, who long ago expressed his opposition to torture, said on Thursday that if he were confirmed as defense secretary he would support the Iran nuclear agreement, which Mr. Trump has derided. “When America gives her word, we have to live up to it and work with our allies,” Mr. Mattis said at his hearing, a stark contrast from Mr. Trump’s view that the Iran negotiations produced “one of the dumbest deals ever.”
Rex W. Tillerson, whom Mr. Trump has chosen to be secretary of state, parted ways with the president-elect on a range of issues this week, calling President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a regional and international threat who should be countered with “a proportional show of force.” Mr. Tillerson rejected a ban on Muslim immigrants, called the United States’ commitment to NATO “inviolable” — again contradicting Mr. Trump — and said he did not agree with Mr. Trump’s previous comments that Japan should perhaps obtain nuclear weapons.
And Mr. Trump’s pick to head the C.I.A., Representative Mike Pompeo of Kansas, vigorously defended the intelligence agencies, which Mr. Trump has derided.

Forecast - lies and shit storm ,,

In a few Days when the next president takes office the world will change forever,,,  The line between reality and BS will be blurred to the point that many many people so up Trumps ass wont be able to distinguish between the Truth and Bull shit that will come out of the White house.

Now you can say , its sour Grapes that hillary lost,, but frankly, I am beyond that point.  And i will say - we all need to be ,,,  Look at  what you are being told and by who. Check who is running country,, and what they are saying....

Lets take a look at your  President's Senior advisor,,,  a wise man like him must have chosen a Person steeped in experience for an important job,,, that according to Wikipedia is responsible for
Who is it ,,  ASSHOLES son in law,,,, ,, seriously,,, will Kushner be divesting himself of all his business dealings ???  or will those business profit by this relationship ?? Oh and his wife's businesses ,,,, rumos daughter,,, will she profit,,, (I actually don't  think she needs to help )   Maybe Kushner will get his device from his dad,,, like many of us did,,,, or do,,, Will he have to visit his dad in Federal prison to get that advice, cause dad is a convicted felon, well he was released ,,,, the charges , Tax evasion .. Witness tampering,, oh good.... but Listen ,, nothing to worry about here,,,

Attorney General - Jeff Sessions -  a racist  ??  Calling a Black man BOY and referring to the KK as  'OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana."..

Lets talk about the Wall - that he has NOW says he will ask Congress for the Money and then get Mexico to  reimburse us ? Who the fuck does he think he is kidding ?? #1  - no wall will be built,, #2 - If that is where you think we need to spend this country's money and efforts,,, we need to talk about reality .. #3 - Did I Mention he is just a Bull shitter. 


The man makes me sick - just looking at him,,,'

and let's end with the Latest LIE,,  

the reports from the  FBI, the CIA and the NSA wrote with "high confidence" (itself rare in the intelligence world) that “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election,” and two of three agencies had high confidence it was to help President-elect Donald Trump.

Asshole says - it did not change the outcome !!  While thats' not the point at all,,,,How the hell do know that !?!?  Putin wanted ASSHOLE elected and look who he got !!  The reports made no determination if they hacking did or did not influence the election, BUT ASSHOLE says they did make that statement,, and we can read it for ourselves,,,

That jerk Conway said “If you read the full report, they make clear, Mr. Clapper in his testimony made very clear in his testimony, under oath, that any attempt, any aspiration to influence our elections failed. They were not successful in doing that,”  This is completely false. In fact, the intelligence report that Conway refers to took no position whatsoever on whether Russian hacking changed the outcome of the election. “We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election,” it states. “The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion.”  DO THEY THINK WE CAN't READ !!  - I say they simply do not care and we will be living this alternate reality where Truth and Lies are intermingled to make what ever case ASSHOLE wants,,,, 
And insulting the Intellecence agencys - FBI,CIA , NSA is a good way to start your presidency,,,, go ask Nixon if trying to play them for fools works out for ya !!  We can only hope of the same fate  - impeachment - or resignation !

I'll leave you with Bowie and Life on Mars,,,






LIAR LIAR - Pants on FIRE !! Trump cited intelligence as his authority that Russia attempted to hack both parties, but only succeeded in hacking Democrats because Republicans had “strong defense.” (In reality, U.S. intelligence believes Russia successfully hacked both parties, but only released Democratic emails.
