This articles precedes the phone call between Taiwan and Trump by a couple of weeks: http://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/…
Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan confirmed rumors that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump was considering building luxury hotels and resorts in Taiwan’s Taoyuan City, according to media reports Wednesday.
A woman working for the Trump Organization came to Taoyuan in September, declaring the company’s investment interest in Taiwan’s Taoyuan Aerotropolis, a large urban planning development project surrounding the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

Donald Trump says there is no need for full wall between Mexico and US due to ‘mountains’ and ‘vicious rivers’
“Now, there are certain places you don’t need a wall, because you have, you know, you have mountains, you have other things. You have large and rather vicious rivers," the President-elect said in an interview with Fox News in Cincinnati, Ohio during his so-called "Thank You" tour.
"We’re building a wall, it’s going to be a real wall because we’re going to stop the drugs from coming in, we’re going to have people come in but they’re going to come in legally and we’re going to have a great wall, a real wall and we’re going to stop what’s happening, because what’s happening in our country is very sad in so many different ways," Mr Trump said.

KKK parades through Roxboro N.C. for 'Trump victory'
State troopers blocked intersections Saturday as the Ku Klux Klan made its way through the city’s downtown and major thoroughfare. Amanda Barker, who is identified on the KKK’s website as an “imperial kommander” and is married to Chris Barker, who founded the group, said the car parade would be a celebration of President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory.
“We actually kind of have the same views,” Barker said. “Actually a lot of white Americans actually felt the same way, especially about the wall, immigration and the terrorism coming here. I think Donald Trump is going to do some really good things and turn this country around.”
- The KKK members who voted for Hillary are probably still whining about abandoning the electoral college.omg
- The good news about the 2016 election is that everyone came out a winner. Trump won the electoral vote, and Hillary won the popular vote. Trophies for all.omg
- KKK members that voted Clinton? What the actual fuck are you talking about? That is a totally non-existent voting demographic.BuddhaHat
- The only references online to KKK members voting Democrat was a hoax http://www.snopes.co…BuddhaHat
- So exactly which white supremacists are you talking about that DIDN'T vote for the guy that wanted to wall off the Mexicans? Maybe some drunk KKK members...BuddhaHat
- ... accidentally ticked the wrong box?BuddhaHat
- HayoHitler®utopian
- How exactly do you conclude every member of the KKK voted for the same person? Even considering an ethnic-centric vote for a white person, Hillary was white.omg
- No demographic for race, gender or age ever unanimously totaled 100%. Many voted for Hillary to protect their health or welfare benefitsomg
- Hillary had a big pull for females, so I'm sure she had lots of female KKK votes supporting her.omg
- Long ago the KKK voted Democrat, in huge numbers. But as long as the giant orange clown has ppl like Bannon in their inner circle, he's their guy.BuddhaHat
- You have no direct proof that Bannon is tied to any supremacist group. The twisted quote that the alt-right used Brietbart as their platform.omg
- There's more evidence of Hillary systematically getting rid of blacks through Planned Parenthood and her ties to the kkkomg
- omg has gone full-yurimonnb
- according to the SPLC there are only between 5K and 8K members of the KKK in all the usa. the kkk are a joke.Gnash

- The very suggestion that he isn't a winner just fucks with him on a level that shouldn't affect a mature adult. This is so insane.monospaced

- real talk, this guy probs has a stack of intel brief reports taller than he is to review and know intimately and he's booyacka shotting on social mediaprophetone
- I voted for him not because i have any illusions about his competency or brainpower, but because the u.s. needs wake up call culturally and ethicallyterry_cloth
- it's going to be an interesting 2017prophetone
- by that i mean trumps promised focus on economic issues rather than cultural/social issues. addressing poverty is more important to me than addressing "systemicterry_cloth
- bigotry" which has done little but inflame race relations even worseterry_cloth
- really? systemic bigotry is not an issue?pango
- so you have no illusions about his competency yet you voted for him hoping to fix the economic....pango
- correct, because he is competent in the arena of world economics. sick and tired of identity politics and the divisive shit birds squawking about equalityterry_cloth
- i would rather a crass and tactless d-bag who doesn't care about re-election and has no verbal filter. that to me is far more forgivableterry_cloth
- I could see your point if he hadn't surrounded himself with the swamp dwellers he promised to remove.fadein11
- I can't believe people elected a man who is so insecure, so childish and so out of touch with reality that he has adopted a persona and can't be himself.monospaced
- That's your problem, you are so out of touch with interior USA that you are surprised by the magnitude of people's dissatisfaction with the dems. That's exactlyterry_cloth

Snowden says Petraeus disclosed ‘far more highly classified’ secrets ‘than I ever did’
“Perhaps the best-known case in recent history here is Gen. Petraeus — who shared information that was far more highly classified than I ever did with journalists,” he said. “And he shared this information not with the public for their benefit, but with his biographer and lover for personal benefit — conversations that had information, detailed information, about military special-access programs, “code word” documents — including the identity of covert officers, and notes of National Security Council meetings, that’s classified above top secret, conversations with the president and so on.”
Court documents in the case show that he turned over a black book of highly classified “code word” documents — including the identity of covert officers and notes of National Security Council meetings.
“We have a two-tiered system of justice in the United States, where people who are either well-connected to government or they have access to an incredible amount of resources get very light punishments.”
I guess there are career Patriots and well, Patriots. I suppose this distinction is lost on the well informed selectively bling Trumpeters.
