A deal maker never makes his final offer before all the cards are dealt... I may be the most gullible shmuck in the universe, and maybe borderline ignorant also, but I am not going to fold on Trump just yet. He apparently came by his money legally, and that's a lot more than we can say about the swamp dwellers.
Working in a swamp requires some mighty tall boots and snake proof leggings...

: The DC cesspool is manned with man-eaters.

: The DC, Inc cesspool is an independent city-state, as are DC's
: sister city-states of the Vatican, and the City Of London.
: This triumvirate of evil rules the planet by force and
: coercion, and no Human Being can escape the grasp of their

: That, in itself, should have every American questioning why DC
: exists on American soil, rather than Americans capitulating

: As president of the DC US Corporation, certain ground rules

: Trump Just Met with Henry Kissinger: “I Have Tremendous
: Respect” for Him

: November 19, 2016
: By Carey Wedler
: Since Donald Trump unexpectedly won the presidency last week,
: his official positions have become increasingly murky.
: Though he vowed to repeal Obamacare on the campaign trail, he
: has since softened his rhetoric.
: Though he claimed he would prosecute Hillary Clinton, he now
: says he doesn’t want to “hurt’ her and has avoided
: confirming any such plans.
: Though he initially claimed he would institute a Muslim
: registry of sorts — and his advisors are reportedly
: concocting plans to do so — he is yet to confirm whether or
: not he will implement one (spoiler alert: one was
: established for people from Muslim-majority countries
: during the Bush era).
: What is clear is that in spite of Trump’s anti-establishment
: rhetoric, he has thus far decided to surround himself with
: some of the establishment’s key figures.
: In addition to choosing advisors like war hawk James Woolsey,
: among other neoconservatives, Donald Trump has now sought
: guidance from Henry Kissinger, whom Clinton has called a
: friend. Kissinger first made a name for himself as an
: advisor to Richard Nixon.
: He played a key role in the administration’s wars in Vietnam,
: Cambodia, and Laos.
: According to a statement from the Trump camp: President-elect
: Trump and Dr. Kissinger have known each other for years and
: had a great meeting. They discussed China, Russia, Iran,
: the EU and other events and issues around the world.
: But there’s just one problem: the establishment Trump has
: vowed to obliterate reveres Kissinger.
: Unsurprisingly (and just like the political establishment),
: Kissinger is responsible for millions of deaths around the
: world.
: In his book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, the late
: Christopher Hitchens outlined key facts he argued prove
: Kissinger is a war criminal.
: As cited by the Intercept, Kissinger was behind a wide array
: of destructive policies: 1. The deliberate mass killing of
: civilian populations in Indochina.
: 2. Deliberate collusion in mass murder, and later in
: assassination, in Bangladesh.
: 3. The personal suborning and planning of murder, of a senior
: constitutional officer in a democratic nation — Chile —
: with which the United States was not at war.
: 4. Personal involvement in a plan to murder the head of state
: in the democratic nation of Cyprus.
: 5. The incitement and enabling of genocide in East Timor
: 6. Personal involvement in a plan to kidnap and murder a
: journalist living in Washington, D.C.
: Greg Grandin, a professor of history at New York University,
: outlined Kissinger’s transgressions just during his time in
: the Nixon administration: He (1) prolonged the Vietnam War
: for five pointless years; (2) illegally bombed Cambodia and
: Laos; (3) goaded Nixon to wiretap staffers and journalists;
: (4) bore responsibility for three genocides in Cambodia,
: East Timor, and Bangladesh; (5) urged Nixon to go after
: Daniel Ellsberg for having released the Pentagon Papers,
: which set off a chain of events that brought down the Nixon
: White House; (6) pumped up Pakistan’s ISI, and encouraged
: it to use political Islam to destabilize Afghanistan; (7)
: began the U.S.’s arms-for-petrodollars dependency with
: Saudi Arabia and pre-revolutionary Iran; (8) accelerated
: needless civil wars in southern Africa that, in the name of
: supporting white supremacy, left millions dead; (9)
: supported coups and death squads throughout Latin America;
: and (10) ingratiated himself with the first-generation
: neocons, such as Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, who would
: take American militarism to its next calamitous level.
: Grandin notes that a “full tally hasn’t been done, but a
: back-of-the-envelope count would attribute 3, maybe 4
: million deaths to Kissinger’s actions, but that number
: probably undercounts his victims in southern Africa.”
: Kissinger has met with every incoming president since he
: worked in the Nixon administration.
: The only exception to that rule was Barack Obama, who did not
: seek his advice.
: Though Trump’s meeting with Kissinger is not guaranteed to
: reflect in Trump’s policies – especially considering how
: erratic the new president has proved himself to be — his
: decision to meet with one of Hillary Clinton’s favorite
: advisors reflects his lack of commitment to his previous
: rhetoric.
: Though Trump campaigned on the sentiment that nation-building
: is unwise and the Iraq War was a mistake, he is now seeking
: guidance from one of the foundational architects of
: America’s decades-old role as chief hegemonist and
: policeman of the world.
: “I have tremendous respect for Dr. Kissinger and appreciate
: him sharing his thoughts with me,” Trump said after meeting
: with him.
: Perhaps the best example of Kissinger’s poor judgment is
: reflected in a statement from Hillary Clinton during a
: presidential primary debate: I was very flattered when
: Henry Kissinger said I ran the State Department better —
: better than anybody had run it in a long time.
