There are still advisory positions to be filled in the new administration and he would bring with him a wealth of unique business talents.

He could be HUGE. Even AWESOME.

Admittedly, there "might" be some resistance, but a position that didn't require Senate confirmation could probably be done.

Technical adviser on the Border Wall ?

Hey, if Putin is suddenly a good guy to The Donald, why not El Chapo?

Barry A. - 1-19-2017 at 08:52 PM

Trump said from the git-go that Mexico was sending their worst to the USA. Again, proven right!!!!

Bajazly - 1-19-2017 at 09:04 PM

Not much chance of it, but it would be hilarious if they brought him here and he escaped from the feds custody.

imlost - 1-19-2017 at 09:32 PM

How ironic for Drumph, that the very element he ranted about keeping our of the US, is now his celebratory inaugural gift.

motoged - 1-20-2017 at 10:28 AM

El Chapo is a very successful businessman ...his personnel department had decisive administrative policies, his exporting business made rooms full of US$$ daily, and he wasn't afraid to express his views, even if unpopular with some folks. What others thought of him did not matter to him....it even emboldened him to stay with his rhetoric....so he is in good company with the potus (Piece of the Usual Sh-t)....

What's not to like about Shorty (fingers)?

An article with an opinion (CBC News):

"The U.S. descends into brutality as the real-life Archie Bunker is sworn in as president.

The investiture of President Trump is a natural development the nation has been building toward for 50 years.

Taken as a photo, a moment in time, what's about to happen on the steps of the U.S. Capitol is concussive; a palimpsest from a rougher, crueler era that was merely painted over, rather than transformed, by the progressive advances that so many people assumed would continue, inevitably, with every passing year.

But it's not a moment. The investiture of President Donald Trump is a natural development the nation has been building toward for half a century.

A friend assigns its origin to the '70s sitcom All in the Family, which, she says, made it all right — even funny — to say out loud the things that people had been shamed into murmuring quietly, in private. You know, shamed by political correctness.

Actually, Archie Bunker's open bigotry was as a liberal fantasy, orchestrated by producer Norman Lear, the ideological ancestor of Aaron Sorkin.

Yes, there were laughs every time Archie unleashed another opinion about "your fags," or "your Jews," or "your spades," but his role was that of the racist dunce, always schooled in the end by the innocent decency of his wife Edith, or an actual encounter with one of the minorities he casually belittled.

But All in the Family did, for the first time, shine a light on the deaf slanging between conservatives – Archie – and liberals, represented by Archie's educated, progressive son-in-law Michael Stivic.

The show petered out after eight years, its novelty gone. It was surpassed by reality – a polity that just kept getting more vicious, eventually leaving its banks and flooding the U.S. with the hatred-soaked, nearly murderous discourse that buoyed Trump and floated him into the White House.
Real-life Archie

As of today, the real-life Archie is president, the most powerful man in the world, immune to shaming or schooling. He actually feeds on it.

In retrospect, it's easy to pick out events that deepened the national odium: the emergence of Fox News, the 9/11 attacks, the 2008 economic catastrophe.

"Nearly murderous," incidentally, is not meant as hyperbole. Violent conflict becomes possible when two sides begin to dehumanize each other, and it's not even controversial to suggest that has happened in the U.S.

Fake news on the internet, which used to be called conspiracy theories, is most often framed to accomplish exactly that. Falsely suggesting Barack Obama was born elsewhere (Africa) and is likely the enemy (a Muslim) was the theory pushed by so long by Trump, a clear effort to dehumanize.

In fact, Trump explicitly declared in one of his most elegant tweets from 2014 that the other side, the "haters and losers" who oppose him, are genetically inferior, or as he put it: "They cannot help the fact that they were born flocked up!"

The man from North Carolina who opened fire at Comet Ping Pong Pizza here in D.C. did so because he believed a conspiracy theory — "Pizzagate" — about Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring out of the restaurant. He was not crazy — just stupid, armed and nurtured on a bunkered ideology.

Conservatives reading this will at this point have already stopped reading, having decided that this is just more lying by the dishonest elite media, which is in the thrall of the elite radical left.

Actually, if the media is in thrall, it's to the status quo and the establishment, and, judging by some of the fawning at his recent events, to Trump.

But it is true that urban liberals regard Trump-nation conservatives as coarse, offensive, mildly defective mouth-breathers.
Conservatives' moment

In Bethesda, Md., where I once lived, I cannot remember having met a single social conservative or gun advocate. The Tea Party was regarded as aliens. Those people lived in Virginia, across the Potomac River from Bethesda, where they shun liberals in exactly the same manner, avoiding any social contact, despising from afar.

And this is their moment.

They're not just ascendant, they've beaten the living daylights out of liberals, urinated on their bruised bodies, sliced off their ears and poured sugar into their gas tanks.

They're crowding wolfishly into comments sections on news sites, proclaiming the end of political correctness, saying that minorities need to learn to live like minorities, demanding an end to "negative news" and elitist fact-checking.

They want to know why the dishonest, lying media can't get it through their heads that YOU LOST.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? THE ELITES LOST! YOU. LOST. AND MERYL STREEP IS OVERRATED.

Even Obama has stopped declaring that "there is no blue America and red America. There is only the United States of America." That was aspirational drivel. Inspiring, perhaps, but unmoored from reality.

Such Obama-type voices as still exist are talking rapprochement, telling liberals that they must at least listen to the people who voted Trump.

That's not going to happen. It's impossible to know how Trump and Congressional Republicans are going to govern, but what matters most to Trump nation is that the beat down continues.

Do whatever you want, just give us more tweets about losers and haters and dishonest lying liars.

Nominally, a presidential inauguration is a moment for the nation to come together and celebrate the peaceful handover of power to a democratically elected leader.

Nowadays, that's just a fantasy gurgled by unctuous television anchors. More than 60 Congressional Democrats are boycotting the ceremony.

Liberals will turn away from Trump's inaugural speech, holding onto the fact that Clinton harvested close to three million more votes than the new president, imagining a day four or eight years from now when someone like Senator Elizabeth Warren takes the oath, and payback can begin.

And as long as there is still any comity out there to pulverize, the American descent into brutality will continue."


Go get 'em, Shorty.....

Woody,
I've got the popcorn in the microwave.....waiting to see what's going to unfold...not any other options, really.

More importantly, I need some more of your t-shirts...:coolup:

AKgringo - 1-20-2017 at 01:11 PM

Woody, will you be offering 'Give Trump A Chance!' T-shirts?

I will pay for Ged's, if he wears it!

motoged - 1-20-2017 at 01:16 PM

Gary,
Thanks for the generous offer.....however, I still have a few principles and would see such a garment as even being unfit for "buttwipe", as so eloquently expressed by a previous poster.

How is Bailey doing?

We all are hopeful he does a good job....and the refilled swamp affects us all:

"Some hardened Trump detractors say we should hope for the worst from the Trump administration. But be careful what you hope for, writes Ian Brodie: A U.S. president is still the most powerful leader in the world, and if he gets it wrong, we all pay for his errors. (CBC) ...."

AKgringo - 1-20-2017 at 01:48 PM

Ged, Bailey has become an indoor dog! She hates rain, and that is just about all we have had for quite a while, with a little snow thrown in as a bonus.

Just to keep this from being a complete hijack, has the influx of Trump refugees continued?

Subject: BREAKING NEWS: Canada to Build a Wall





News Update from Canada

The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into
Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential
campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear
they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the
Constitution.



Canadian border residents say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology
professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and "green"
energy proponents crossing their fields at night.



"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood
producer huddled in the barn," said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield,
whose acreage borders North Dakota.� "He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and
begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken.� When I said I didn't
have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?"



In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences,
but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared
Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just stuck their fingers in their
ears and kept coming. Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers
who meet liberals just south of the border, pack them into electric cars,
and drive them across the border, where they are simply left to fend for
themselves after the battery dies.



"A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an
Alberta border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle
of Perrier water, or any gemelli with shrimp and arugula. All they had was a
nice little Napa Valley cabernet and some kale chips.� When liberals are
caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing that they fear
persecution from Trump high-hairers.



Rumors are circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps
where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer, study the
Constitution, and find jobs that actually contribute to the economy.



In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the
border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy
cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans
in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping
buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and
Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s.



"If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we
become very suspicious about their age," an official said.



Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating
an organic-broccoli shortage, are buying up all the Barbara Streisand CD's,
and are overloading the internet while downloading jazzercise apps to their
cell phones.



"I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just
can't support them," an Ottawa resident said.� "After all, how many
art-history majors does one country need?

Gary,
Bailey is a smart girl...she knows when it's stormy and sees the darkening skies in front of her....can't blame her for laying low :light:

Thanks for the faux news about Canada's immigration nightmare :biggrin:

Now, back to El Chapo (the Mexican one)....that will be a long drawn out legal show..."if the tunnel doesn't fit, you must acquit"...

I imagine his special treatment will get downgraded a bit...but your gubmint is footing the bill...such irony.

Done quite well, thank you president Obama!
Stock market's been doing well for me
Real estate has been doing well for me
Business has been steady, good for me
I like that health care has been extended to more
I like that human rights have been extended to more

I think the Donald and GOP are delusional to say things have been bad in past 8 years.
Perhaps the Donald and other GOP elite should reveal their tax returns and show us how they done poorly under Obama. What? You say the grabber in chief has done well financially under Obama? Well, what is the problem then?

Running a business and running govt are two separate things. I would not hire a business person to play pro sports. I would not hire a businessman to run govt. businessmen spend much of their time trying to influence govt for personal gain. If you put businessmen in govt, their first thought is normally to feather their own nest. Look for trump to tolerate his team members fleecing govt for personal gain.

Trump has never in his past shown any altruism or public service. He is only about me, myself and I. He is all Id, and no super ego nor ego.
