The Trump Show!

[JTA]

I came to consciousness during the Bush reign. Joined my place in the machine the same time Obama took the throne.

After this election, I've reached the stage in my life where I can say without doubt that people are absolute hypocrites and will twist anything so long as it fits into their world view.

Politics for the vast majority is akin to being devoted to a particular sports team.

I totally get the whole mental gymnastics thing now.

If anything we ought to thank Trump for making this so blatantly apparent there's no denying it anymore.

Trumpgrets - A Tumblr of tweets from Trump supporters who regret voting for Trump

Now with an interlude: Ann Coulter is being attacked by remaining Trumpsuckers over her tweets expressing regrets over Trump. Her book "In Trump We Trust" still available in stores.

[Vrede too]

Ummm, yes it is your fault, Ann. Most Americans know that Trump has been a con man for years and voted accordingly.

(people dying from their own stupidity is what will make america great again i suppose)

Ummm, they're GOP, BOB and barbara.

(because a man who delegates his business to his children surely wouldnt believe in nepotism)

Trump, "you lie!"



"though"? deport illegals needs an ESL class.

(actually, considering how publicized his bankruptcies were, it is kinda funny)

(to be fair to donald, his tweets haven’t changed much recently. you’re just… willfully stupid? like trying really hard making an effort to be not smart)

I have decided to go with a "Fuck My In-laws, Fuck Getting Along with Idiots" sort of philosophy. I am cataloguing as much material as I can find to fill my I FUCKIN TOLD YA SO!!! folder. I will use it with extreme prejudice, and with tiresome regularity. My marriage might suffer some indigestion, but even my wife has taken to openly facepalming her family's belligerent idiocy. America is too important to worry about playing nice.

Woman delivers epic Twitter takedown after Trump attacks ‘SNL’ (article)

Worth repeating, after a few of Trump's cabinet picks:

[rstrong]

So Trump put his two totally unqualified women (and it looks like his equally unqualified token black guy) in charge of agencies no Republican gives a ratz ass about anyway and generally would like to get rid of. Trump said during the campaign the UN is worthless and "no friend of the US". All Republicans have always talked about getting rid of the Department of Education and Uncle Ben Carson, the likely head of HUD has called it "like a failed socialist experiment," not to mention that he's declared himself unqualified to head a government agency. And now, when the agencies fall into the terlet, Trump and the Republicans can blame the women and the black guy. Is this a great country or what?

It's official; Trump has chosen Ben Carson to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I'm sure Bannon, Breitbart and the alt-right will give him all the credit and support you'd expect.

[Vrede too]

Minimal managerial experience and zero relevant educational, governmental and policy experience. Apparently, Carson's only "qualifications" are his being a black, GOP, Trump sucker.

The Intercept: Member of Trump’s Labor Department Transition Team Specializes in Recruiting Cheap Foreign Labor

Veronica Birkenstock, named to the Department of Labor team on Monday, is the president of Practical Employee Solutions (PES). PES promotes itself as specializing in the use of H-2B visas, having recruited “over 40,000″ workers in fields including hospitality, landscaping, welding, and construction, from 80 different countries. It is also the “preferred vendor of Marriott and Starwood Hotels.”

Block Exxon CEO from becoming Secretary of State

This petition will be delivered to President-elect Donald Trump and the transition team.

I stand against the appointment of Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson as our next Secretary of State. Handing the keys of American diplomacy to the head of the world’s largest private oil company is blatantly corrupt and dangerous for the planet.

Condoleezza Rice got the Secretary of State job having been a board member of Chevron Corporation, and with a 129,000-ton Chevron supertanker already named after her. Her position there came thanks to fellow board member George Shultz, former Secretary of State under Reagan.

C'mon, Vrede. Stop waving your pom-poms for Chevron. Give Exxon a turn.

[Vrede too]

There's a difference?

Yeah, but by that time we were used to her lies and the administration's foreign policy incompetence, and we had zero hope that it was ever gonna get better.

Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say

Trump's National Security Advisor sent 16 fake news (propaganda) stories on social media

... There is another name for fake news: propaganda. Much of it sponsored by Russia ...

Either Flynn fell for the propaganda hook, line and sinker and was unable to differentiate between real news and propaganda—or, he intentionally sent out propaganda and false information to the public. In either case, it is disqualifying for a role in national security. Period. End story.

Gen. Barry McCaffrey withdraws support of Trump National Security Advisor, calls for investigation

General Barry McCaffrey tells NBC News that he was initially supportive of Donald Trump’s decision to name Lt. General Michael Flynn as his National Security Advisor. But, a closer look at Flynn’s social media use shows that he sent out at least 16 different fake (propaganda) news stories via social media and General McCaffrey pulled no punches, bluntly calling the tweets and stories “demented.” ...

General Barry McCaffrey went on to say that “we need to aggressively examine what was going on” with Lt. General Michael Flynn and his son. Hear, hear!

In short, Lt. General Flynn’s outrageous peddling of fake news and/or propaganda should be disqualifying. Period. End story.

Trump candidate for Secretary of State goes on bizarre, dangerous rant in defense of Russia

Will there be anyone in the Trump administration who is actually qualified for the job? After nearly two years of claiming he hires “only the best,” nearly all of Donald Trump’s named advisors and Cabinet nominees are one disaster after another. Now comes an utterly shocking interview with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who Donald Trump is considering for Secretary of State.

During an interview with Yahoo! News Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga, Rohrabacher repeatedly praised Russia and Vladimir Putin, batted down any suggestion that Russia had committed human rights violations, including murdering journalists. When Rohrabacher mentioned China’s human rights abuses, Golodryga brought up Russia’s well-known abuses and Rohrabacher blurted out “Oh, baloney!” before demanding to know where anchor Bianna Golodryga is from....
