2017 President Trump Tells CIA U.S. May Have Another Chance to Get Iraqi Oil Speaking to employees at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, President Trump said the U.S. should have kept the oil when it left Iraq, saying it would have prevented ISIS. He then suggested, "Maybe we'll have another chance."

CNN: rallies around the globe

Wonder how many small town marches are happening across the country as well
Like these hundreds and hundreds who gathered in Port Jefferson, and Huntington Station, and Ithaca, NY

It's going to be a rough day...
This is Toby. He's been dreading January 20th for some time now. He thought a bright red neckerchief might help lift his spirits but so far, no.
He knows looking at pictures of puppies often helps his mood. Here, look at it. look at it!
And kittens. It's always a safe space when there's kittens
And if neither kittens nor puppies can help today, well sometimes you just gotta smile through the tough times
And so, in an attempt to lift a spirit or two today - I offer this old chestnut, one of my favorite memes, I hope it helps, I give you Chihuahuas or Muffins.
Peace, friends.
Has anyone started a "3 Doors Down really sucks" thread yet...
They're playing now... And I find, like a car wreck, I just can't look away.
So Trump turns down a $2billion deal from Saudi developer because it would appear unethical
But presumably his sons CAN accept the deal, right?
Do I understand that correctly?

NPR's On The Media: "Normalize This!" - examines how to report on a PEOTUS who regularly lies
A very interesting listen...there are journalists out there who really do get it!

Normalize This!
We devote this hour to a question put to us pretty much daily since election day: How to cover President Trump? First, we ask the AP, Univision, NPR, USA Today, and other news outlets about how they are defining a relationship with a president-elect who flaunts traditional rules, spreads misinformation, and criticizes the press. Then we turn to language. Listeners help us highlight moments in media coverage that obscure the truth, and journalist Masha Gessen warns of the "impulse to normalize." Plus, linguist John McWhorter describes the phenomenon of partisan words, and cognitive scientist George Lakoff argues that the principles of journalism need to be redefined... because of how our brains work.
