"It can't get any worse"

Nikki Haley's looking like she's playing that long term chess game while the rest of her party is playing checkers thinking short term...

@MariannaSotomay: Gov. Nikki Haley at the Federalist Society convention says PEOTUS Trump didn't win the presidency in a way that celebrates Republican values

So far Haley's speech sounds like she's trying to tell the GOP that they lost their way, not much praise about PEOTUS Trump

David Duke weighing in on Trumps white supremacist draft picks.....funny and scary at the same damn time

Remember though:



I remember these polls from right around the time when it was established who the two candidates would be:

His campaign saw these and concluded the obvious: There's gotta be at least 5-10% who are complete idiots and are easily flippable. And sure enough, the SOB showed up at a black church, **** on a plate and 5-10% of black voters ate it all up. Corn and everything. I remember one NTer saying when he showed up at that black church something like "Well, it's good that he showed up at a black church. But I'm still not voting for him." That is, he didn't flip, but he at least somewhat fell for that charade. 

The only black people I can understand voting for him are those who are multi-millionaires (Kanye, Don King), those who are rich people first and black people second. In other words, those who don't give a **** about the struggling black people but only about getting huge tax breaks, which rich people will get under his presidency.

[EddieDoyers]

the more I read Trump supporters statements, the more I realize that most aren't racist, but they are rather total sellouts
They sold out their principles for the money
Middle and working class about to realize once again that the big businesses don't give a damn about you
They are just going to pocket more of the profits while the lower class works at wages that are below what they are actually worth.

this, all though Trump Tower is a product of da late 70's-80's. he furnished his 3 story penthouse in da neoclassical beaux-arts esque style on steroids.

 

[frink85]

Steve Bannon & Jeff Sessions are some of Trumps first picks.....

What's next? Don Black? David Duke?

so Trump's Sec of Defense NSA pick has some skeletons

But Flynn's own record with classified information has been called into question during his military career. On at least two occasions, his handling of classified information came under scrutiny by the US military.
Two former government officials with direct knowledge of the issue tell CNN that while Flynn oversaw intelligence in Afghanistan, he shared classified information with Pakistan on terror networks responsible for killing American troops. The intelligence, the sources say, came from another agency. Flynn wasn't supposed to share it. They say he was trying to convince Pakistan to stop sheltering terrorists.

So it's ok to hand deliver classified info, but having it in your email is a jailable offense. After watching that clip of his RNC speech all I can do is hypocrite to the one billionth degree

 

[sundoobie]

Gigicos said Trump’s “victory tour” will start some time “after Thanksgiving.” He did not identify any of the places Trump plans to visit, but said he would focus on “the swing states we flipped over” and other places where Trump scored wins on Election Day last week.

Victory Tour? Idiot is basically pouring gasoline to the fire. No matter what solid Red state.. Ultimately this is gonna be the end result!

George Soros better start hiring REAL professional protesters for this victory tour.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

Either way corporations win

Get big tax break with one party
or
Hire cheaper immigrant labor with another party

Tells it like it is

A spokesperson for Donald Trump  has claimed the president-elect “never advocated” for a registry that tracks individuals based on their religion, despite a video showing him endorsing precisely such a plan.

The Republican was captured on film in November 2015 describing a network that would register and trace Muslims living across the US.

Yet Mr Trump's transition team communication director Jason Miller released a statement  on Thursday saying: “President-elect Trump has never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false."

In 2015 Mr Trump said he said he would bring in “a lot of systems” that could track Muslims, after signing them up in various places across the country.

When asked by NBC  whether Muslims would be legally obliged to register on the database, Mr Trump replied: “They have to be, they have to be.”

Asked to confirm whether he would introduce the policy against Muslims if he won the White House he said: “I would certainly implement that, absolutely.”

Mr Trump said it was possible to bring in the scheme because he would implement “good management”.

I really feel bad for my Muslim brothers. These guys are about to get persecuted like the Jews got back in the 30s and 40s
