If you look hard enough, there's always a commie behind every real, or perceived threat to the American way.

Well, I will say I smiled at this because it brought up a vivid recollection of my maternal grandfather. Hadn't thought about that tough old bird for awhile. He had a gentle side, but he'd come a hard way. And the funny thing was i realized something about him I hadn't put together before. When he cussed, which was frequently, he did it in triplets. The composition of the triplets would vary, but the Russians (as Commies, or Rooskies) were usually in the mix. Thus, a triplet would be "Goddamn Nixon, Goddamn Ns, Goddamn Rooskies". Never mind that Nixon (his sin was going to China I think) hadn't been president for years, that African Americans were smart enough to steer way clear of our little corner of paradise, and that the Soviet Union was clearly in decline. His life was apparently triangulated by such threats. But it was the smoking and emphysema that got him in the end. Hacking up flecks of blood on a crisp white hospital sheet that smelled of bleach. I remember that clear enough.

Doesn't have to do with anything. Just one of those images that slams into your head.

The GISTEMP November numbers are in --

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt

The 0.95°C variance from the 1051-1980 base period mean is the second-hottest November on the list, behind only November 2015. This also completes the 2016 December to November "weather year" as the hottest in the record at 1.02°C, well above the previous high of 0.84°C set last year. It is highly likely that the 2016 calendar year measure will be hottest in the record as well - the average for the first 11 months is 1.02°C, above the record 0.86°C set in 2015.

America loves to be lied to and he was the best by a long shot... Mine was a blocking vote only, I couldn't stand HRC.

Voters that put Trump over the top had voted for Obama twice.
After eight years, guess they were acclimated to liars and lying ways.
Who knows? Perhaps voters just said what difference, at this point, does it make?

Trump lies faster then the fact checkers can check . . . he lies more in one simple statement than all of Obama's lies doubled.
