States Won by Trump Have Highest 'Obamacare' Enrollment
Some 6.4 million people signed up by the mid-December deadline — 400,000 more enrollees than the same period last year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
In a twist, the states with the most people selecting coverage all went for Trump in the presidential election: Florida, with just under 1.3 million selections; Texas, with about 776,000; North Carolina, with 369,077; Georgia, with 352,000; and Pennsylvania, with 290,950.

The Rockettes Will Be Forced To Dance At Trump's Inauguration
The bad news is, the Rockettes aren't subject to the whims of just one thin-skinned rich guy—they're owned by MSG Entertainment, helmed by the one-and-only James Dolan, and he wants those pretty puppets to DANCE. BroadwayWorld reports that the Rockettes' union, the American Guild of Variety Artists, sent an email to the Rockettes establishing that any boycott of the inauguration would cost the dancers their jobs
What could be more fitting for this inauguration than forcing a group of women to do something with their bodies against their will?

This lady is delusional.
‘I’m Going to Run Again in 2020’
http://edwardklein.com/hillarys-…Hillary Clinton intends to keep her campaign organization together for the next four years and run again for president in 2020.
“She’s convinced that, sooner than later, the voters will come to their senses and realize they made a horrible mistake by putting [Donald] Trump in the White House,” a source close to Hillary told Ed Klein Confidential. “She’s sure the voters will beg her to get in the race and she says, ‘I’m going to run again in 2020.’”
- Lol, she ain't the only one delusional. Her fans are too...robotron3k

The Trump Handshake
It’s well known that Donald Trump, a germaphobe, doesn’t like shaking hands. Less well known is that when forced to shake hands, Trump has a very specific technique, one that various handshake websites refer to as “the pull in.” Once Trump latches onto your hand, he will vigorously — here’s where the name comes in — pull you in close to his body, as if your arm is the rope in a game of tug-of-war.
You can see that the pull-in turns into a brief, jerky arm-wrestle if the person on the other end decides to offer resistance.
- That's really rather weird isn't it...set
- What the hell. Never extend your hand beyond your centerteh
- What a fucking piece of shit, narcissistic, megalomaniac, helmet in chief!utopian

Pro-Trump Art Show In Williamsburg This Weekend
A number of major Alt-Right figures and Trump fanatics, including Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, and Martin Shkreli, will supposedly take part in a multimedia pro-Trump art show in Brooklyn this Saturday. The event, #DaddyWillSaveUs: Make Art Great Again!, was organized by host Lucian Wintrich, the openly gay conservative behind the "#Twinks4Trump" photo series earlier this summer. The event is happening at 8 p.m. at 191 N 14th Street on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint (you may recognize the space as The Boiler, although this event is not being hosted by them).

So in the past week Trump has picked a war with China on Twitter, said he wants to start a nuclear arms build up and has no problem with Israel expanding settlements.
Tell me again how Trump is going to be the peace candidate lol
It's amazing how the right wing (and in some cases left) anti-interventionists swung behind a candidate simply because of what he promised during the campaign, ignoring the war mongering legacy of the GOP which has not changed at all under Trump.
- I'm not sure anyone thought Trump was a peace candidate or any left anti-interventionist... supported him.CyBrainX
- And sure the Republicans are war mongers but Trump is bringing us back to the 50s. In come cases the 1850s.CyBrainX
- I remember the GOP leaving Trump and supporting Hillary Clinton. Was that not a big enough red flag for you with Rep. Bloomberg supporting Hillary?omg
- If you're going to spin an anti-red GOP as the war mongering candidates, then it was left with Hillary. Or you can pray for her return in 2020omg
- Hope he gets the Nobel Peace Prize within 6 months of him holding office.robotron3k
- It's going to look pretty lame referencing Hillary and Obama a year from now. Neither were perfect but both better on the three issues I mentioned than Trump.yuekit
