The Republican jobs program to Make America Work Again is to fire all Obama appointees from the civil service.

And I guess we'll need prison guards for all the Democrats that will be jailed alongside Hillary Clinton.

The guy he plagiarised is the same guy who wrote his speech. "Trump Jr. speechwriter plagiarises himself" is still supremely lovely but not as much of a gotcha.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

Chris Christie pantomimed a lynch mob (not my wording, from this thread maybe?) while rattling off a list of ludicrous and spurious charges that Clinton has "created a nest of terrorist activity in Libya", and is "an apologist" for Boko Haram "resulting in the capture of young women", "a coddler of the Castro brothers", etc. etc. He literally said Clinton has given excuses for Boko Haram and is responsible for causing all the awful poo poo they've done.

The GOP policy is that people who disagree with them on matters of foreign policy are not only unpatriotic, they should be thrown in prison. They are calling her a co-conspirator of terrorism.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/magazine/how-donald-trump-picked-his-running-mate.html

the intro to this piece :wow:

quote:

One day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

Oh my god. It's exactly what many of us suspected. He doesn't want the actual job, he just wants to sit in the Oval Office and fly on Trump Force One. Everything else he's said that sounds remotely honest implies the same, like how he keeps talking about how campaigning is fun, and when a journo asked him about whether he'd actually take the office if elected, he just said "We'll see."

At the moment there is nothing to prevent another Trump type from preaching to the racists and derailing the next Republican primary in the exact same way in 2020.

E: Racists will never choose a dog whistle racist when an open racist like Trump is available, and they are the largest bloc of GOP primary voters. They didn't care about electability this time and they won't in the future.

It's debatable how harsh Lincoln would've been on the south. It's possible he would have been more lenient than what actually happened and his legacy would be a lot more problematic had he not been assassinated. Lincoln actually had plans for Reconstruction and the Radical Republicans hated them for being too easy on the South. So it's possible the Lincoln Reconstruction is even shorter and we get back to "status quo with slavery in anything but name" sooner.

No, it will end in blood. All those white supremacist groups, survivalists, sovcits stockpiling guns? All that pent-up white /white male anger? That's not going anywhere. There will be mass shootings and terror.

And, obviously, on a political level, the Republicans will still have the House, the state legislatures and so on.
