As a jew, I will say maybe it won't be so bad if it means Bannon will convince Trump to spend 4 years making GBS threads on Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

The RJC and AIPAC gleefully greased the skids of anti-Jewish white nationalism and NOW they have the audacity to be worried
Hard to feel bad when they have spent the last decade plus calling any criticism of Israel anti-Semitism. Especially when it comes to treatment of the Palestinians.

I mean they got what they wanted on that front anyway....Israel has already begun to stop acting like they were even pretending there was a Two State Solution. There's a report that they are about to legalize previously illegal settlements on Palestinian land. Basically without Obama around they are going to do what they want and whatever Godawful person ends up as the UN Ambassador will gladly continue to veto any UN resolutions to stop the Israelis from destroying what was left of Palestinian independence.

What if those two would be the ones to keep the worst of Trumps policy's off the floor?

That' possible, but maybe it's equally likely that Trump is going to be blocking the worst of Ryan's policy agenda. There's so much we have no clue about what the Trump administration is going to be about, and from the looks of it, neither does Trump.

lmao Obama will race to find out Trump character flaws so he'll whisper into his ear for supreme court justices. When Trump gives in to what he ask since Obama is being such a good friendo, Obama will slap him on the back and laugh in good cheer. Trump will beam a huge grin that a fellow powerful and respected man likes him so much.

Another possibility, Hillary will finally divorce Bill and then, realizing it's her only chance to get into the White House, offer to marry Trump if he dumps Melania. Trump being madly in love with Hillary "Crush my enemies underfoot just like Donald Trump" Clinton will accept and she'll be First Lady again and will offer to run the country while Donald goes out for his mega-maga rallies.

The best part of this election is that bannon always encouraged backstabbing and scheming among his editors so there's like a good chance the whole org will collapse under the succession fight when he resigns to be press secretary.

didn't he promise to release his tax returns after he won or some bs? awesome

It's almost like he just said what he thought people wanted to hear and didn't really plan on doing any of it beyond giving himself huge tax cuts and crowning himself the greatest man alive.


That salary is peanuts compared to the income boost from his tax cuts for the rich and corporations, might as well make an empty gesture for his supporters when it costs him almost nothing in comparison.

My mom, who is a good but politically naive person, doesn't see how this sudden spike in racism can be connected to Trump. She is of the opinion that these people would just have done these things anyway because they aren't right in the head.

Can anyone point me to a discrete article or three that shows concretely the ways in which the Trump campaign emboldened the racist right? Maybe something about Bannon that just lays it all out for someone who doesn't follow the news? Anything? I'm flailing here

If she didn't think the highly publicized racist and bigoted comments from his campaign were racist, she probably won't care about the other stuff either. However, googling "How is Trump racist?" will give several articles from different sources and a long list of incidents compiled on Reddit. Apparently a large percentage of his supporters either believe it's all media manipulation and lies or it's not racist because he's not throwing out well known-slurs and calling all minorities worthless.


Yes, because Jews run Hollywood you see. Thanks for letting us know you're anti-semitic as well Newt.

Regarding nukes I don't know how to feel after reading this NYT article from August:

quote:

Then, in 1974, in the last days of the Watergate scandal, Mr. Nixon was drinking heavily and his aides saw what they feared was a growing emotional instability. His new secretary of defense, James R. Schlesinger, himself a hawkish Cold Warrior, instructed the military to divert any emergency orders — especially one involving nuclear weapons — to him or the secretary of state, Henry A. Kissinger.

It was a completely extralegal order, perhaps mutinous. But no one questioned it.

This is how I hope a similar Trump scenario would unfold but holy gently caress, apparently even if the President is drunk there's no legal way to relieve him of nuke command. Maybe Obama can squeeze in some additional checks and balances? I live in a major population center. I'm legitimately scared.

there is ample evidence of that. for instance, trump was elected president


"no way he hates jews I've seen him carry a bag of gold and everything"


"you mean they won't form a line so I can fire them one by one on Inauguration Day? disappointing."

There's genuinely no need for a legal recourse in that situation. If the president is surrounded with people opposed to the end of the world, they would act, law or no law. If the president is surrounded by people ambivalent to the end of the world, they wouldn't act, law or no law.
