And I arrived at FIT in Melbourne ( fall 1970) at the very same time that the Klan was holding its annual convention in Kissimmee just a few clicks inland.  I was going whereTF am I and what is this place ?  

Yes, very interesting times.  There was only 10 miles of I - 95 built in Georgia when I went through then.  Talk about some weird stuff ... Macon was very scary ...

Thanks Donnie!

After taking a look at this old news story I suppose we should have seen this Trump thing coming,...

He totally thinks Hillary's email server is a good idea, you just know it.

Mike Pence wants his communications limited from public access.

I got to LSU right around the time David Duke graduated. What interesting times...

Steve Bannon was named chief strategist and senior counselor to President-elect Trump.
One question, did David Duke turn it down so he could stay in Louisiana to go duck hunting with the Robertsons?
This is not Trump bashing on my part, this is a legitimate question. 

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Oh, I wasn't talking about the policy stuff, I just think you need to look at what happened to Christie to see how easy it is to get sent to the Gulag. Sure, Christie gave him a good cover story with BridgeGate but that wouldn't make any difference if Trump wanted to keep him. And if I were a tradesman in America, I wouldn't work on one of his projects unless I got paid up front and had an iron-clad contract so I wouldn't get sued. Maybe he won't go through aids as fast as he did in the campaign but his track record is already screwed up from that perspective.

Well, the dust is settling a bit. I do think it is quite reasonable to be apprehensive, anxious even, about what he said he would do.  Roll back pretty much everything Obama has done, plus SCOTUS concerns.  Certainly, though, actions are the focus.  But he will have to exercise a dramatic change/reversal of his campaign issues to ease my concern.

Part of me is not too worried about him, since an inevitable scenario is the gradual loss of support by the folks who really expected him to do what he said he would.
When he doesn't, will they be angry?

But, as a mental practice, I'm trying to not get angry about the results of the election. So much of it is "look what he's going to do!" but, really, he's done nothing so far. This is us creating a straw man, and then knocking it down. Not fair to criticize a future that doesn't exist, but only might.

Once he starts to screw things up, we should all begin showing our dissatisfaction - but not until it really happens.  

So does Chief Strategist, Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News, mean state-controlled media or media-controlled state?

I guess what surprises me is how many savvy business and Washington types are willing to have anything to do with his administration, knowing his track record with subcontractors, employees, and partners.
