squirrelzipper posted:Man I hope you're right because imho Kelly is the man who's going to get poo poo done in the current administration. It would be awesome if he got fired, otherwise I think he'll get poo poo done. I do not mean to worry you with what I'm about to say, but Kelly really isn't the person to worry about that. Kelly's job is just babysitting the president. He might be responsible for why the trans ban actually went into effect since he organizes stuff in the White House and may have done the legwork. But, the real person to worry about is Jeff Sessions, Betsy Devoys, and everyone else appointed to an administration head. It hasn't been reported on a lot, but they're actually doing a very effective job of dismantling their own institutions and setting us back decades. The political comic of Trump's appointees being suicide bombers being sent into those federal agencies come to mind as it is an apt metaphor for his picks.

Lightning Lord posted:Kale I don't think you're a secret Falangist, just an idiot with foot in mouth disease and can't be wrong syndrome but please just stop posting for a bit. There's a plethora of reasons why you should comply, and one of them is you're making the thread about yourself and it is hell on Earth For what it's worth I am sorry about that whole pages of useless posts thing and since I see no other way in which that stops that doesn't involve completely removing myself from the thread as an active presence for a while regardless of where the discussion is at I have to agree with that advice.

Sessions and DeVos and tillerson are basically disassembling the state. I'm not an American and I'm still terrified by what their doing.

Kilroy posted:I mean, when you say "setting us back decades" I'm thinking "undoing all the work of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to fix the poo poo Reagan broke" and while that's too bad, it's also a statement of how ineffectual and contrary to their own (claimed) principles they were. Bill Clinton never really a had strong mandate, but Obama sure as hell did and he squandered it - let's never elect anyone who will fail in that way again, okay? poo poo isn't as hard to fix as you think, we just need people in office that are willing to do it, rather than hem and haw about conserving that precious political capital. No, actually, it's quite a bit worse than that. Is Anyone Home at Ben Carson's HUD?

I'm about 40 pages behind but I was reading the stuff on Stephen Miller and has anyone ever posted the letter he wrote to his high school as a 16 year old in 2002? Its a doozy that shows the man has not changed or grown one iota from being a young dumb conservative/libertarian in the way we usually do once we get to college and/or experience the real world a bit: http://www.surfsantamonica.com/ssm_site/the_lookout/letters/Letters-2002/MARCH_2002/03_27_2002_Political_Correctness_Out_of_Control.htm

Dear Kale, Sometimes the best course of action is to shut the gently caress up, even if you strongly believe you are right and that everyone is just dogpiling you. Hope this helps, A Concerned D&D Poster

Bullying works. Also, we have people making decisions about Afghanistan and the Middle East who were 16 when it all kicked off. I mean, I was only 18, but that still unnerves me.

Hypercapitalism has made it too lucrative to keep machines of war going in a perpetual death cycle. Hopefully when we have the backlash from Trump we can actually stop wasting so many lives and so much money on bullshit thousands of miles from home.
