A rather funny article today in Politico outlines a fear of Trump’s coalition amid congressional republicans.

The article is sympathetic to the GOPe wing of the DC UniParty from a perspective of those nasty Trumpers, ie. “the posse“; and includes South Carolina Rep Mark Sanford as a testimonial of their fear:

[…]  “Nobody wants to go first,” said Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), who received nasty phone calls, letters and tweets after he penned an August op-ed in The New York Times, calling on Trump to release his tax returns. “People are naturally reticent to be the first out of the block for fear of Sean Hannity, for fear of Breitbart, for fear of local folks.”

O.M.G…  The Horror!   Can you possibly imagine the audacity of the voters to actually express an opinion toward the professional political class?  Just who do these plebes think they are? (more…)

During the height of the 2016 presidential election a church in Mississippi was burned and the wording “Vote Trump” was painted on the outside of the building.

“The animus of this election cycle combined with the potent racial history of burning black churches as a political symbol makes this event something we must not ignore”.

The media sold the narrative of ‘Trump supporter hate’ as the origin of the crime.  Today, it is revealed the arson was a politically motivated manufactured hate crime.

MISSISSIPPI – An arrest has been made in the Greenville church burning.
Andrew McClinton, 45, of Leland, was arrested Wednesday for setting Hopewell Baptist Church on fire and scrawling “Vote Trump” on the side in spray paint, according to Warren Strain with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. McClinton has been charged with one count of first degree arson of a place of worship, Strain said.

Even MSNBC is beginning to tire on Clinton’s blame game.  Muh Russians, Nate Silver said it was teh Russians, or Comey, or something… (painful audio).

Introspection… pffft. Let’s genuinely hope that doesn’t happen.
Then again, considering “introspection”…  The question national Democrats are asking themselves is: ‘Keith Ellison or Tom Perez’..?    Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha..  Too much winning…. stop, just stop… I think I just pee’d a little…

Here’s an opportunity for you to assemble your thoughts for the upcoming Trump administration against the backdrop of the modern media engagement therein.
Ultimately you are the customer in this equation. What suggestions would you provide to a Trump administration to deliver a communications product?

My personal suggestions:
♦ Keep using twitter daily, or as determined.  Keep using social media, and/or any alternate communications platforms to communicate with the American People.
♦ Establish dress code for credentialed media.  No casual days, ever.  100% business professional, 100% of the time.

Reince Priebus appears on Fox News Sunday for an interview with Chris Wallace. Unfortunately Reince does not call CIA Director John Brennan a liar. He should. Both Brennan and James Clapper (DNI) are political operatives.
The Trump Team should consider broadcasting their own round table “Sunday Talk” discussion, via RSBN or other, from Trump Tower.  Bring in a guest like Sharyl Attkisson (or other) weekly, put it on YouTube/Facebook and it will have multiple benefits.

(New York, NY)— President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his nomination of U.S. Congressman Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Congressman Mulvaney brings a wealth of experience on economic, budgetary, and fiscal issues to his new role. Rep. Mulvaney has long been a strong voice in Congress for reining in out-of-control spending, fighting government waste and enacting tax policies that will allow working Americans to thrive.
Rep. Mulvaney believes getting America’s fiscal house in order is a key component of President-elect Trump’s America First plan to create millions of jobs and grow the economy.

Unable to stand in front of executive donors and tell the truth, Hillary Clinton told those who invested over a billion dollars in her campaign it was Vladimir Putin’s fault she didn’t campaign in August and never campaigned at all in Wisconsin…
New York – Speaking to a group of donors in Manhattan, Mrs. Clinton said that Mr. Putin, the Russian president, had never forgiven her for the accusation she made in 2011, when she was secretary of state, that parliamentary elections his country held that year were rigged.

“Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people, and that is the direct line between what he said back then and what he did in this election,” Mrs. Clinton said.

Sometimes all you need to highlight “Fake News” is a screen grab:

Yup.  Despite his semi-frequent tendency to be an annoying GOPe type, representative Peter King is correct on this one:
The John Brennan CIA claim’s are without evidence or merit and being pushed by the CIA and DNI purely for political purposes.  Hence Clapper and Brennan’s refusal to present themselves before congress for scrutiny:
