The Republicans used to do this as well- just not at the start when it was thought unseemly to block cabinet appointments for too long. So the obstructionism has gone up a notch, as is the willingness for previous presidents to criticize the incumbent at all, let alone in the first week. Of course by opening that door, Obama has set himself up for 4 years of criticism from the POTUS pulpit. And if there ever should be a terrorist incident on US soil or a high-profile crime by an illegal, Trump gets to climb aboard the moral high horse from which he can extend the bone of blame at detractors forever.

IMHO, Trump would rather keep the country safe than be able to say "I told you so" to Obama and the opposition party. Personally, I think that the opposition party has lost its collective mind. The just can't wrap their heads around the fact that Hillary lost the election.

IMHO, the media, Hollywood elites and others are being incredibly short-sighted.

IMHO, the Hollywood elites are irrelevant. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but these elites talk to the country like they actually know what they are talking about - which they don't.

They sang for Clinton and Obama who created special privileges/protections for Hollywood elites and mainstream recording studios via the DMCA regulations that disincentivize pirating. But now they provoke deplorables and a President who wields executive orders with whirlwind speed.

Up until now it hasn't really been about red(republicans) or blue(democrats). It has been all about green :)

I'm just waiting for the Deplorable movement (or maybe the Russians who are to blame for everything) to scatter-gun freely downloadable versions of Madonna's or Streep's efforts to hit them back where it hurts.

LOL!!!!
