Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, had another tough day today. He was asked today to defend Trump's comment that 3 to 5 million illegal (aliens) voted against him which accounts for popular vote differential. Poor Sean could only reply that Trump has faith in his evidence. If Sean has a conscience, I put the over/under on his role as Trump's spokeperson at 2 years before he quits for "personal" reasons.

He won't last that long. He is well aware that Trump's beliefs are irrational, paranoid, not factual, per the quiet anonymous White House reports of past 2-3 days, and his own statements. And, surely he knows that the Pew Research report which he claims found voter fraud actually found no voter fraud, just dead people not yet expunged on (locally controlled) voter lists, but no voting was done in their names. And the "Old Dominion" study, which claims voter fraud by illegal immigrants, chose to grab a data set that hadn't been fully vetted, in which a small percentage of online study subjects clicked a box (at the end of multiple pages of questions) saying they were illegal immigrants, and that they were registered to vote. The "Old Dominion" study did not wait for the data validation by the investigators. The actual validation found that literally 0% - NONE - of the actual non-citizens were registered to vote. The clicks on the on-line data set were incorrect. That's the false data Trump is quoting. And now he wants to spend $$$ to prove his beliefs are right, when virtually ANYONE (Spicer included) who looks at the data knows this is all just his narcissism.

Probably a ploy to try to pass laws to make even harder for underprivileged to vote.

I predicted lots of things. Just a few would be Hillary's campaign faltering in the quicksand of her email and Clinton Foundation scandals. What I said was that the FBI would either recommend charges or there'd be an internal revolt. Comey's October letter was a result of pressure from agents to that effect.
I predicted that Obama's racial divisive policies would seriously imperil race relations and they have. Likewise, I predicted that he would do all he could to prop up Islam in America which he did. Imagine telling NASA that their prime duty was to share technology with Muslim countries so that they could feel important for the "contributions" they'd made to science? So many examples on both of these issues.
The list goes on. I predicted Brexit. I predicted Trump. Here at home I predicted that our idiot fuckhead prime minister would sacrifice basic Canadian freedom to Islam. He's already planning legislation to criminalize "Islamophobia".
I predicted that gay marriage was only a tool of the left to destroy our social fabric and that once that battle was won, the LGB agenda would expand. Now "T"s are the new cudgeon.
I predicted that people would awaken to the illegitimacy of the academic world which are ridiculously left-leaning such that the best historic parallel for half the PC shit happening there is the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Likewise, I predicted the increasing acquiescence to Islam in the West. Hopefully, that will change now that Trump and his advisors seem determined to provoke the discussion no one's been willing to have yet.
This isn't rocket science. It's just being willing to get past the politically correct dogma that destroys reason, logic and rationality.

patting yourself on the back. Maybe you deserve a warm vacation to a private Island with the Aga Kahn.

It's just sad that you'll overlook the many other issues to find solace in a Trump, because you think he'll help your pet issue. Already it seems Canada is being hurt. Today GM announced the layoff of 600 to move the jobs to Mexico. The car companies are afraid of Trump, thus move our jobs down to Mexico.

Lots of talk and executive orders which may or may not be meaningful over time.
Trump will be chit chatting w/Vlad tomorrow. Will US sanctions on Russia for its behavior in Crimea/Ukraine be part of the discussion? Will Trump try to appease Vlad by removing the sanctions?

Just seen a clip on the BBC where he's saying Christian refugees from Syria are going to be preferred. That seems only right to me. As to the Crimea, anyone who ever thought Russia would cede control over the Sebastopol naval base to another power was living in cloud cuckoo land.
Unfortunately there were a lot of them about. Still are, who refuse to give up their delusions, it appears.
I'll wait & see whether he manages to build the Mexico wall. If so, do you think it will be visible from outer space?

"Christian refugees from Syria are going to be preferred" So , I wonder if Syrian muslims are frantically converting to Christianity.

I imagine Russian behavior in and around the Baltic region is of more iinterest to you folks in the UK and Europe than here.
Saw something today about how Jordanians are pissed about Syrian refugees taking the crappy jobs. Reminded me of NYC Irish riots in 1863. They were pissed about the slaves escaping the South coming to NYC and taking their crappy jobs. Abe Lincoln sent troops, who had just been in Gettysburg, to settle them down.

http://fortune.com/2017/01/25/donald-trump-russia-approval-ratings/Donald Trump Has a Much Higher Approval Rating in Russia Than He Does in America, State Pollster Says Zamira Rahim
Jan 25, 2017 "More than 70 % of Russians expect good things from Donald Trump's presidency, according to a new poll. Approximately 40 % of those surveyed by state pollster VTsIOM had high expectations of the new U.S. president and another 31% believe that Trump would at least be an "average" U.S. leader. But when asked if Russia should reduce its nuclear stockpile in exchange for cancelled U.S. sanctions, as previously suggested by Trump, 55 % of those polled responded negatively, the Moscow Timesreports. Among Americans, Trump's approval ratings have hit a record low, with 45% approving of Trump and 45% disapproving of him, according to Gallup."
