is there a reason why we (Australia) have done so well out of coal over the past 10-15 years and America hasn't?

Aussieland is much closer to China so smaller shipping costs.

Of course when China invades in 2027 during the fourth year of the Great Global Recession that won't matter much.

The protests are only beginning. Progressives are radicalizing and racist attacks are going viral on social media, which only encourages more protests. Cops with MAGA hats overreact and stomp on the protesters, which causes the protests to escalate further.

Trump, meanwhile, is going to be encamped in D.C. and wants to spend his weekends in Trump Tower in downtown New York City? Good luck with that.

Yep. It's only a matter of time till something really public happens like a cop gunning down some anti-Trump protestors or Trump supporters murdering someone on camera and then everything will escalate.

Fidel Castronaut: Dec 25, 2004; Houston, we're Havana problem.

tfw you realize that Alan Moore wrote a comic thirty years ago with a Trumpkin protagonist who was a poor kid who was used up and thrown away by the capitalist system and whose resentment festered and who said that he would say "No" when the politicians and cultural elites realized that the world was going to end.

Rorschach's "I'll whisper 'no'" monologue was this election.

(Except, Rorschach didn't actually say "No" when it came down to it, unlike the real Trumpkins.)

"Mr. President, a portion of the wall collapsed killing 50 octogenarian border patrol volunteers, we need to get ahead of this, make a statement."

"It's Saturday." Donald replied.

"Yes sir, Saturday the 5th. Is that relevant?"

Mournfully, Donald gazed at his golf clubs. His caddy, Chris Christie, had brought them into the oval office for a planned outing later.

"I guess not" he replied, a little part of him dying.

Nah, not at first. They purged the incompetents though the moment they could, so there's that

although structurally they just ended up with a new batch of incomps eventually, because sucking up the fuhrer was ultimately as important as actually getting poo poo done

Trump team rivalries spark infighting

lol

quote:

The tensions played a role in a Friday shakeup in which the president-elect replaced his transition team chief Chris Christie with his running mate Mike Pence. Sources familiar with the move say it was precipitated partly by clashes between Christie�s allies and rival factions on the transition team, as well as Trump�s influential son-in-law Jared Kushner.

[...]

People who witnessed that infighting up close see signs of similar patterns emerging, with some of the same players involved. And they fear that the dynamic could cripple Trump�s operation before it ever gets off the ground, since launching an administration requires hiring thousands of employees and setting up far more intricate chains of command than those in place during Trump�s bare-bones presidential campaign.

In fact, some of the clashes stem from the tension between early Trump loyalists and the GOP establishment. There�s lingering distrust, for instance, between allies of Trump�s initial campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who is being discussed as a possible chairman of the Republican National Committee, and allies of Reince Priebus, the current RNC chairman.

Priebus, who bitterly collided with Lewandowski and played a role in the campaign manager�s firing in June, is considered a leading candidate for chief of staff in the Trump White House. That has irked some of Lewandowski�s allies, who view Priebus as embodying an establishment that scoffed at Trump early in the campaign.

[...]

A handful of sources in and around the Trump transition team said there was no evidence that the president-elect had even reviewed any of the binders of policy and personnel proposals produced by the team. Trump�s only contact with the transition staff, the sources said, had come through Christie, the New Jersey governor and transition team chief who was demoted on Friday from transition team chairman to being one of several vice chairs.

The conservatives� influence on the transition team figures to increase with the elevation of Vice President-elect Pence, whose tax-slashing, anti-abortion record as governor of Indiana made him a conservative favorite.

Some of the personnel moves proposed by Christie�s team drew the ire of both conservatives and early Trump loyalists, who viewed them as rewarding, instead of punishing, Republicans who were less than fully supportive of � if not downright hostile to � Trump during the primary.

A third faction on the transition team is aligned with Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, an early Trump backer whose allies on the transition team handle congressional outreach and immigration policy.

[...]

But perhaps the biggest power base is Trump�s own family. His adult children and especially his son-in-law Kushner have unrivaled clout with the president-elect, and have not shied away from using it to spur personnel changes.

Two people familiar with the transition said Christie�s top deputy, Rich Bagger, had run afoul of Kushner.

�That�s a fight you can�t win,� one of the people said. �The Christie people are from New Jersey, they act like they�re in charge, and Jared Kushner is like, �You're not really in charge.��

Rick Dearborn, a top Sessions aide, was elevated to transition team executive director in place of Bagger, who the Trump team said in a statement "will return to the private sector" but remain an adviser.

In a Friday statement explaining the elevation of Pence and Dearborn, President-elect Trump praised "the initial work done under the leadership of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to help prepare a transformative government ready to lead from day one."

[...]

"This is like the Oklahoma landgrab,� said the operative. �It's gonna get vicious the next 70 days as people try to place their people where they want them. And Christie's people ain't the same as [Trump campaign CEO Steve] Bannon's people ain't the same as Sessions' people."
