Trump has blocked traditional press access normal for a President-elect.

Trump has not responded to congratulations from foreign leaders, often cautious in nature, like Angela Merkels:

“Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political views,” she said in a statement, adding: “I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.”

Orwell Described Today's GOP 70 Years Ago

Trump campaign: Mr. Trump was finally able to bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling President Obama to release his birth certificate. Mr. Trump did a great service to the President and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised.

George Orwell 1946: From the totalitarian point of view history is something to be created rather than learned. A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible.... Totalitarianism demands, in fact, the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long run probably demands a disbelief in the very existence of objective truth.

What many said would happen with the Bernie Revolution.

Bernie a loner, doubts he can keep it going, hold it all together.

Some said the Berners can't be counted on. Won't compromise even with other liberals. Won't stick around. The Bern will fade.

I would look at remaking Washington, DC. Right now, what is it doing for anybody? For real Americans?

Congress can go on permanent vacation. Don't need them. Or those mouthy judges.

And I don't plan on living there.

Bernie Sanders, 'coming together, Hillary understands our diversity is our strength, most progressive platform in history, I have known Hillary for 25 years, she fought for universal health care and children, listens to scientists..

It was an AR-15 Assault Rifle, Banned in 90's under Clinton

And banned in California for a decade or more. California now also requires a background check for purchase of ammo. The American ritual after Dallas, the post massacre arsenal report. The right wing denial that any gun law whatsoever could have limited the recent massacre, in particular the 1994 Clinton Federal Assault Weapons Ban which Republicans let expire in 2004. Even today, right wing 'live in their own universe' websites, this one 'Controversial Times' (they thrive on controversy, abhor concensus/facts) are still trumpeting that the Dallas shooter did not use an AR-15, but instead used some antique WW2 rifle:

The Gun Used by the Dallas Police Murderer is Revealed. It’s Not What Most People Thought.
