Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are working quickly to solidify a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel before bull-in-a-china-shop Trump can come in and fuck everything up.
In an interview, Obama says he believes he could have beaten Trump if he had run for reelection, because he thinks a majority of Americans are in favor of progressive politics.
Bernie Sanders is pushing for a fellow progressive to be in charge of the DNC, in his continuing battle to create a "Tea Party" for the left.
Trump says he wants to dissolve his charitable foundation, but the New York Attorney General's office says, "Unh-unh-unh! Not while you're still under investigation for perhaps benefitting from it."
Trump is also whining on Twitter about how Obama is"NOT!" making his White House transition a smooth one. UNFAIR!! SAD!!
Now let's look at the WEATHER: Three mostly dry days in a row with a high of 44.
And finally, 2016 wasn't such a great year for TV news people either! Check out the BEST LIVE NEWS BLOOPERS of the year.
