so, this and the NYT meeting actually makes me a bit less fearful of a Trump presidency (despite the fact that it will be a disaster)

I was afraid he'd get pissed off and nuke someone or blow something up, or a million other things

all the NYT and Clinton thing has taught me is that he says things that will win him votes and support from people, but he doesn't actually believe or care about it.

Clinton - Special Prosecutor to Help her heal
NYT - Failing NYT to I have great respect for the NYT

Makes me at least more hopeful that his cavalier attitude on nukes etc are just bluster

I'm not saying he's not hosed up.

I'm just saying - let's not pretend that we haven't had a President with Alzheimer's, or a President who met with people while taking a poo poo, or a President handling nuclear standoffs while on a mix of uppers and hormones. One of greatest Presidents hid his wheelchair for decades with a complicit media assisting with the cover up.

"hosed up" becomes "normal" the second you get away with it. Trump is the new normal and will be until someone better at the game beats him.

Calm down guys, all this horrible Trump poo poo isn't any worse than hiding a wheelchair so no-one sees you're really a worthless cripple LOL.

Trump is the kind of guy where, if you're against him from the start, then he accepts that you did what you thought you needed to do to win (as he would have done the same) and, if you're with him, you're scum if you turn on him.

Trump's most redeeming quality IMO

The news media is actually reporting that Richard Spencer is the leader of the alt right, so that obfuscation of reality is actually good

Spencer coined the term and he wants it back.

Before he got kicked off twitter, Spencer was talking about how he's the REAL Alt-right, and losers like Milo/Breitbart are Alt-Light.

Freep, /pol/, breitbart, Pro-Trump twitter, talk-radio... All of them are distancing themselves from Spencer. Most had never even heard of him or the NPI before the HAIL TRUMP video, and think he's 'controlled opposition'.

If there's ANY silver lining it's that when an actual Nazi shows up even FREEP gets weirded out.

Spencer doesn't give a poo poo - he loves the attention. I could see him turning the NPI into a kinda Westboro Baptist Church type organization - troll and sue.

I agree but people should still try to get them to vote against Trump. Those scared of potential repercussions from faithless electors deciding anything contrary to the racist electoral college are living in the Things Matter Zone.

The sort of people who are Republican electors to begin with are prominent GOP officeholders, big donors, superactivists, and the like. You might get some disgruntled guy in Utah casting an EV for Mitt Romney, but that's about it.

If we were living in the world where Clinton narrowly edged out MI and PA, yielding Trump 270 Clinton 268 with any Trump elector with cold feet throwing it to the House, then hell yeah I'd be on board for this, but 306-232 is a huge disparity.

Oh no! Not even in office yet and the lies are underway. The people need to voice their objections, the lying will continue for sure. 40 years of corruption swept away! You honestly think this will unite the party, the people, liberals, the media? Your kidding your self. The lies will not stop on the liberal media end, political hacks will forget in no time and lie away. Charge these people. You said you would.

-

As President Elect he has access to info that he didn't have before, possibly including confirmation of our suspicions that Hillary Rotten is dying anyway. If that is true, prosecution would be seen by many as unnecessary cruelty. I would wait until all the dust settles before making any judgment.

-

Okay, people. Calm it down. Lots of 'concern trolls' coming out of the woodwork. Lots of reactive comments. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. People need to read Sun Tzu - The Art of War. People put their faith in 'The Donald' a year and a half ago for a reason. What happened to that faith? Keep an eye on his actions, not his words. The major objective has been accomplished - we got a non-establishment politician elected as POTUS. Sure, there are going to be shakeups and unexpected twists, turns, and swerves - but isn't that what we elected him for? We didn't elect him to be predictable. He's already accomplished more in two weeks than Obama did in the first 6 weeks of his term, and he's not even sworn in yet! Keep it real!!

-

If that is the case, he will be a 1 term President for me. Same old Politician, all talk no action. What a BS!!!!!!

-

Timid Trump decided too unite the country? How by offending everyone who actually VOTED for him? Someone needs too up the testosterone cream level.

breitbart already on him for a broken promise and preibus lying straight to his face

man this cabinet is already falling apart lol

This is the thing that keeps me from being able to fully extinguish the last ember of believing the EC will go faithless. We've elected some fuckups in the past but they've had cabinets come together pretty uniformly every time, didn't outright attack the press at each turn, didn't spend their transition period settling a fraud suit and hawking his businesses to foreign leaders, etc. Like, Trump is substantially different but the key difference is that he hasn't even gotten any solid cabinet choices in yet and most of the names he's floated are legally ineligible, realistically unconfirmable, or so out of the reasonable breadth of this country's political mainstream that they're generating criticism from unexpected places. Hillary may cause rioting in rural areas, she may scare the poo poo out of the markets for a week, going faithless may delegitimize the electoral college forevermore, but the trade-off is stability and otherwise remaining in well-charted territory. That old lady's got a cabinet and multiple backup picks on speed dial and would have that poo poo locked down by Monday after the EC vote. They're a pack of neoliberal hyenas and hell she'd probably be pressured to decline to run for re-election in 2020, but there wouldn't be VP Race Bannon, Senior Advisor Racist Bannon, AG Segregation Forever, or any of that poo poo. Russia would know exactly what the foreign policy is, Merkel wouldn't be freaking out, Brexit would be a more stable Brexit, and in exchange all they need to do is potentially delegitimize an 18th-century institution which is already suffering the damage of a PV differential of almost 2 million votes in the other direction and headed toward electing exactly the type of incompetent populist buffoon it was meant to freeze out. If this poo poo continues they may well be wondering if it's worth writing a massive op-ed/open letter to explain why they went faithless to the tune of overturning the EC vote this one time and couching it as a way of preserving the legitimacy of the electoral college as a circuit breaker or moderator or social contract but above all not a suicide pact.

And then they'd just decide they can just ride out the next 4 years and pick trump anyway.
