Hurting a cop's feelings in Louisiana is a hate crime now. So technically not wrong, but I don't think that's what you meant.

Karl Rove was powerful because he was part of the DC tribe and knew everyone who mattered. Hopefully Bannon just ends up being like maester pycelle because nobody likes him or gives a poo poo about him.

His name is actually Jefferson Beauregard Session III . It's quite obvious his family was really big into their heritage and the apple generally doesn't fall far away from the tree.

Holy poo poo, no. Trump is not moderating or walking back poo poo. In 12 goddamn days he's named an actual goddamn white supremacist as his chief advisor, named an actual goddamn racist as AG, named a lunatic as national security advisor, publicly threatened the NY Times, publicly threatened SNL, publicly threatened the cast of a musical, settled a massive fraud suit, then bragged about it on Twitter, held shady meetings with foreign officials in Trump hotels, violated norms for press access, refused to categorically rule out a registry for Muslims, and a bunch of other poo poo I'm probably forgetting about. And this is when he's in his most magnanimous. Trump is going to bulldoze this goddamn country.

There was no acceptable justification. They just wanted to do it, and they lied to the American public and the world to make it happen. The fact that Trump is surrounding himself with people like this is an extremely bad sign. And the other major candidate that Trump beat was the biggest Cheerleaders for the war in Iraq. Clinton didn't just passively vote for the war in Iraq, she vouchsafed that GWB was telling the truth about Iraq's WMDs to get democrats to go along. She was also a cheerleader for bombing Libya and killing Qaddafi. I'm not a fancy lawyer, but it seems like bombing a foreign county and trying to kill the head of state should be declared an act of war, and subject to Congressional approval. But instead they just declared it a 'Kinetic Military Action', in order to get around that pesky Constitution, and War Powers Act. If you want to bitch about Bush starting pointless wars, he at least bothered to go to congress to get authorization for his bullshit wars. There was some pie in the sky dreams about Iraq embracing democracy. With all this fighting in shitholes like Syria and Libya, I have yet to read or hear or read any endgame plan for Syria. When do we get to call Syria a win? thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Nov 21, 2016 |

It's November 21st, not November 7th. Hillary Clinton's positions or opinions are irrelevant now. What is relevant is that the future President is a conman surrounding himself with chickenhawks and fools.

Geostomp posted:Yeah, he's not even trying to hide it anymore. We're completely screwed. I think this is the most interesting part about our seeming inability to properly analyze this election. The meta narrative of American racial and class politics is the formation of a faux generic "white identity" to serve as the in group, and slowly absorbing ethnic groups from the latest waves of immigration to keep their power up with black people as the constant bottom of the ladder. What Trump represents is fundamentally a white populism - an anger that white working class people were sold this narrative, the Southern Strategy, that they could vote for and support racist politicians who would protect their privilege at the expense of minorities and now they've realized that they were written a phony check. There's a reason "fighting political correctness" and "a feeling of white persecution" rank highly among Trump supporters. The meta narrative of Europe is different - pitting strong ethnic and national identities against each other and chafing at a perceived imposed multicultural harmony by the EU - but the outcome is largely the same. White working class people in the West sold out their class for race politics and now that they've realized the rich upper class was lying they're loving pissed. If we don't recognize, however, that this populism has a very strong racial element we're going to have issues. Edit: I do love that even the white nationalists are smart enough to know that starting a trade war with China is stupid lmao

However professionally there should be a white house position. Engaging in speculation at the highest levels benefits nothing and no one and shows a lack of discipline. Dude, no. You're falling for the post-facts society again. The evidence that Assad did Ghouta is clear and unambiguous. Check out Elliot Higgins and Bellingcat's reporting on it sometime.

Dead Cosmonaut posted:If you're genuinely uncomfortable about all of this, then buy a gun While this is theoretically helpful advice, we should keep in mind that a) having a weapon statistically won't necessarily keep you safer if you don't train properly to use it and handle/store it safely due to the risk of accidental discharge, b) is a MASSIVELY BAD IDEA if you have suicidal tendencies/thoughts and c) won't help you if it's the police that are trying to kill you. Edit: I only say this because it keeps coming up in the thread. If you really, really think having a gun will help you then go for it, but keep in mind that statistically it's almost as likely to harm you as it is to help you if you aren't careful. Given the general Goon propensity to mental health issues "buy a gun" is also probably bad unqualified advice. Lightning Knight fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Nov 21, 2016 |

I think that folks here might have a basic misunderstanding of the Hamilton thing and all Trump's other threats. To us, lashing out at any and every insult to you is a sign that you're weak, you're pathetic, that you can't handle the big tough world. That is, however, a perspective that only works when you're without power. You're getting mad at things you can't control, when you should really just suck it up and live with it. Suppose, though, that you did have that kind of power. Suppose that you could shut down criticism like that. From that perspective, refusing to accept criticism, however minor, is a sign of strength, an ostentatious display of power. You don't silence critics because they hurt you, but because creating a world where everyone is required to worship you is one of the most profound displays of control you can make. You're saying to every one of your critics 'what you're saying doesn't matter, it just means you'll be squashed like the insect you are'. Criticism is pointless, only abject worship will save you. Donald Trump is about to become one of the most powerful people in the world, and he's going to try to make the world a whole lot less free just to show that he can.
