Whatever Trump does, you can bet it will be different from all those, maybe a few exceptions, that came before him. His background is completely different, the first President with no political or military background. Let's see what happens when the government gets run with business principals rather than political principals.

I just got a "404 Error, Not Found" when trying to "like" a post. Anyone else having a problem like that?

My honest opinion is that guy will be a double edged sword.

I dont think there is any any question that he is, and will likely remain, unpredictable. This will be really good in some situations, as lord knows the Washington status quo needs to be shaken up a bit. But I also think it will be really bad in some situations as I dont trust him to keep his ego in check.

I just hope he doesnt mess around and get us in some new and unnecessary war over his mouth.....

Agreed. He has ability to shake things up. I don't picture him as a war hawk though. As a businessman I believe he recognizes wars are costly affairs. He'll use military in limited strikes and actions. See more trouble with China in a Pacific face-off though.

Ego is an issue. Hopefully the experience will be humbling.

Hillary would be more likely to start a war.

To be President you have to have an ego the size of Texas to begin with. Keeping it in check will be the trick. In terms of war he can't do much worse than what we've had. Obama has had war, defined as armed conflict with US participants, going on for his entire Administration and has managed to start a bunch of new ones in the process. I'm just going to sit back an watch the show. It should get interesting really fast when he starts undoing Executive Orders, then it hits the Washington Establishment that Trump isn't the Washington Establishment and doesn't "do business" their way. Should be quite a show. :pop:

Obama is the only president that has been at war during his entire term. Also the only president that hasn't had a year of >3% GDP growth since Hoover (1930 depression era). I always thought he was charismatic and likable even if I didn't agree with his policies. After the last couple of weeks, I really don't like him and find him smug and idealistically naive to the detriment of our nation. Good riddance. He needs to take a cue from Bush 43 and keep his piehole shut now.

Received my Bronze Smoant Battlestar today. Nice looking little mod. While it isn't a dna & not firmware updateable. the chip seems to TC pretty darn well on the SS Single Coil Serpent I'm running on it right now.

Preheat has to be controlled & adjusted with wattage, but it's pretty darn smooth & stable. It is a nice looking, sturdy & compact little mod with a nice feel & plenty of battery. It will get a DNA eventually, but its nice to know it's functioning fairly well the way it is until I get some time to play around with it.

Very pleased.

The good news is that SNL will have plenty of fodder for a while.......

SNL is still on? They lost me about fifteen years ago. They used to do humor, now it's mainly political satire.
