Trump got us out of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and will soon target the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). So so so stupid. China must be having a field day.

This is a bigger issue that politicans refuse to acknowledge. The industrial revolution is coming to an end. We're in the early stages of automation. Factory jobs are over and service jobs are transitioning. To preserve the future of the workforce we have to reinvest in education. We need more engineers and programmers and electrician and maintenance. We need more health care jobs as America gets fatter due to less physically demanding work. Telling middle America they're gonna bring the jobs back is just false hope. American companies no longer exist. Everything is global and these companies can't succeed if they're not allowed to be competitive. What'll end up happening is that China will become the super power and we'll be the third world country getting paid five cents an hour to build iPhones.

Yep, but try explaining all that to the dumbasses in the Make America Great Again hats. You can. It's simple. They need to stop worrying about federal government and get invested in local and state government. Washington didn't fail them. Their mayors, governors and senators did. Detroit is a third world country because they had no back-up for the auto industry and never bothered to find something else. They could have easily repurposed those abandoned factories into something else and never did. That isn't the President's fault. That's local/state government not giving a shit.

Trump's nominee for Education Secretary has never even set foot in a public school.
Today Trump signed up for the two pipelines being proposed in the middle of the country. Besides endangering the environment, the move will create thousands of jobs... temporary jobs...after that it will only put about 100 people to work in permanent positions.

And he's still claiming voter fraud lost him the popular vote. The Orange One has been busy.

If we were going to commit voter fraud, I would think we would've been smart enough to make sure we won the electoral votes, and not just the popular.

Canada just spilled like 200,000 liters of oil on aboriginal land and will now be beneficiaries of the Keystone Pipeline.

I'm concerned for the Somali guy at work, and the immigrants in the area. Guy fled both Somalia and Egypt at a young age and went through hell to get here. Been in the states for 17 years.
The nice thought of a bubble in the liberal northeast protecting them isn't so sure anymore. Sanctuary cities won't stop him if he really wants to push it.

It seems like we're heading to another trickle down economics. The Keystone Pipeline will be made with U.S. steel. Fantastic, but it's gonna lead to another environmental catastrophe. U.S. manufacturers will get tax breaks in America but tax increase in foreign territories, but these jobs are relying more and more on automation. It makes no difference except making the rich richer. He wants to lower pharmaceutical prices. Awesome, but he's fucking up ObamaCare. If they can't take your money from one place they'll take it from another. All this is like Reaganomics. Sounds great in theory but isn't in reality.
Moving on...
Trump is meeting with Homeland Security this afternoon. He's actually gonna built that fucking wall. How? Word is he's gonna relocate federal funds and violate as many environmental laws as he can. All that shenanigans about hiring freezes and defunding undesirable government programs is an attempt to build a wall within his first term.
Moving on...
Trump wants the federal government to fix Chicago. FBI. DEA. DOJ. ATF. I guess that's fine as long as they don't provoke the Black Lives Matter movement.
Moving on...
Trump has put pending regulations on hold. That won't end well.

Politicians need to stop sugarcoating. The Midwest, sorry, but you guys gotta adapt. It's 2017 not 1917. The economy will only improve with modern job creation, not a fucking pipeline that's temporary work and environmental hazard and a fucking wall that's a waste of taxpayer money.

Dow Jones reached 20,000 for the first time ever. Trump will take credit for it due to its rapid spikes since the election, but it's definitely thanks to Obama. 2009 the index was under 7,000 points, an economic disaster. To be at 20,000 now really shows that Obama's steady approach to rebuilding worked. Thanks, Obama!

Every thing I hear pertaining to American politics in the last few days has me feeling a mix of anger, disgust, shock, and fear. From the global gag rule on abortion, to the censorship of science and the foreboding censorship of journalists, to the continued spreading if the illegal voter myth (itself an effort to lay the ground work for more voter suppression), to the pursuing the Dakota Pipeline...it's been exhausting, and it hasn't even been a week.

Trump wants to launch investigation on voter fraud. Still thinks he won the popular vote.
Trump wants the U.S. to be less involved with the United Nations.
Trump is in the progress of re-opening Black Site Prisons.
