Re: 2016 Election
I'm going to guess that there will be multiple instances of Trump finding out about changes to legislation and programs through the media because they were included as 'riders' in pieces of legislation, that Trump was too busy 'winning' to actually read.

The penny obviously hasn't dropped. I only post in this thread now because I know you will be all over me like a bad smell. You never disappoint.

Re: 2016 Election
Obama organised a whole community, even the Republicans seemed to like this since they went on and on about him being a community organiser.
But the hypocrisy of Trump is astounding for an elected official, since every single thing he denounced Clinton for is represented in his "cabinet", I can't believe that Patreus even made the shortlist. Most politicians are clever enough with words to skirt around the truth, he just plain lies to entertain his supporters.

In Trump's case yes he has had executive experience, but who on earth knows what the country is getting. The Patreus example is a good one- after months of going on about emails and corruption, to even consider Patreus is beyond hypocritical. His other cabinet picks while some are quite qualified people, do seem the opposite types one would choose to "drain the swamp".

Trying to be optimistic ... If there's one thing Trump could do that the liberals would never have the balls to do is to re-invigorate the nuclear power industry. I'm convinced now that nuclear power is a necessary evil, and I believe that with sufficient investment and research, it can be made safe. But the Democrats are just never going to be able to overcome the environmentalist faction that will never allow nuclear power.
Doubt it will happen, but something to hope for.

That being said I don't think nuclear power is a viable alternative for quaky old California. The San Ofre plant was decommissioned years ago

Re: 2016 Election
They've had nuclear power plants in France for years. Has anyone ever heard of a meltdown in one of their plants? I haven't. If they're built properly and plant personnel thoroughly trained in operation and safety they're far better than the coal burning lung destroying polluters who only the misguided think are still safer.

Plus their nuclear power operator seems to be having a lot of issues with its plants:
