It's difficult for me to be concerned about anything that Trump has said during the presidential campaign, he seems to have a history of producing a lot of hot air. I think it's hard to look at what he has said as an indication of what he will do, he is already back pedaling on some issues and comments. 

 

I think the best indication of the next 4 years is what Trump does now that he has the reins of a super power nation. I understand why the world is holding it's breath,  a completely unpredictable person was just handed a nuclear football...

it looks like a lot of peaceful protesting is just getting started by a variety of multi-letter groups (I didn't know there were so many) probably only the tip of the iceberg   ...   http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/if-women-s-march-was-beginning-resistance-what-s-next-n711031?cid=par-xfinity_20170124

No  Tim,   you are right.....things are beginning to happen it seems at an alarming rate.. bans, protests, riots, etc.   With Trump now in command he is successively signing orders one after the other without 'batting an eye' so to speak.     We have HAD THESE before in the 60's but not at this speed it seems and on several different agendas.    The civil rights was in the 60's but now it is EVERYONE'S RIGHTS in some form or another.    Not just U.S. citizens but now the WORLD.   No telling where this all will lead but we do know one thing for sure....it is all leading to the culmination of Armageddon.

the amount of global chaos and uncertainty he has started in just 10 days is amazing and unprecedented   ...  http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/queen-put-very-difficult-position-trump-state-visit-n714571?cid=par-xfinity_20170131   ...   it will be quite interesting to see how matters pan out by time we have the Memorial  -  and the Special talk "How to Cultivate Peace in an Angry World" (how fittingly timely)

If the movie "Oblivion" is right, then 2017 will be the last Super Bowl before extraterrestrial forces arrive

 

I guarantee Lady Gaga's appearance will be a disaster of a travesty. My stomach churns at the idea of having to see it in the news tomorrow  drinking my morning coffee.
