Oh, can you arrange for the Federal government to get out of the way of
safe and legal access to abortion, for example? Instead of, say,
overturning the Supreme Court precedent?

Oh, really? Is this an example of 'alternative facts', Ruben? Because
I was actually conscious throughout the campaign season, and the facts
I saw were as I described and not your denial of them.
During the campaign, Donald Trump held up Goldman Sachs as a villain
and symbol of the corrupt establishment.
Trump's closing campaign ad [link] flashed an ominous image of Goldman
Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein just as Trump condemned the "global power
structure" for robbing America's working class and enriching the elite.

I could produce a hundred examples, Ruben, but I'm not going to bother
because I have better uses for my time. If you really cannot remember
what your own candidate said, get that cognitive problem looked at.
> He railed against a system that allowed the economy to run amock.
Right. His predecessor inherited a collapsed economy and left it strong
with 4% unemployment. And this you call 'run amok'.
Alternative facts, definitely.

Oh, the 90-year-old woman Mnuchin foreclosed on because she made a 27 cent
payment error was a 'crook dipping in the gravy train'?

No, _obviously_ people with absolutely no clue need to be in charge of
the world's largest economy and an advanced industrial nation. What
could possibly go wrong?
It turns out, Rick Perry thought that in heading the Department of
Energy, he seriously believed he'd be in charge of handing out
pork-barrel to the oil industry. I'll bet the expression on his face
when his predecessor, outgoing Energy Secretary Dr. Ernest Moniz,
briefed him was absolutely priceless.
And the first thing I expect that dumb Queens hick Trump and his pet
Goldman Sachs gnome to do to 'fix the economy' is repeal the Dodd–Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, so we can have the 2008
crash all over again, harder this time. Because, y'know, it's so
important to 'ease regulation'.

OK, fine. Move to Oklahoma and live in Dumbfuckistan Jesusland.
Brooklyn faces and deals with the world. So, apparently you'll
not want to be there any more.
