Why the gently caress did MSNBC hire Greta Van Susteren? This bitch is absolutely insufferable and I have to turn on alternate protest coverage.

Its unwatchable. Like, I didn't love MSNBC but at least it was the news channel I used to be able to turn on and not get furious at. Then I discovered Greta saying "hey, maybe Sean Spicer's numbers are right" and "why didn't women march against Obama when women were paid less in his administration?"

He's spent 18 months talking to yes men and crowds of worshiping followers. He sincerely and totally believed that he was loved and the polls were bullshit. He won the election and he genuinely dismisses the fact that he got way less votes. Reality is a shock.

And I mean, for what I suspect is the last time I ever say this, to be fair to Trump it probably genuinely fucks with your head when millions of people around the globe march in unity against YOU. Like, not a thing or an idea. Just YOU.

Trump's a deranged narcissists and today was probably really bad for that.

On some level its funny that on the day after their victory the Trump people STILL needed to find something to be outraged about to feed their persecution complex.

The next four years from Conservatives and Republicans is going to be increasingly more absurd complaints about why the people in total power are actually the victims.

I personally am going to continue on believing that the American public and media aren't stupid enough to actually allow themselves to be led into complete authoritarianism, probably because I'm a glutton for punishment

I keep myself sane by remembering that he lost the popular vote by a whole lot and he's only president because our country's system has always sucked rear end.

Like, he'll be a terrible president who will do a lot of bad poo poo and he'll be a kleptocrat but he probably can't turn the country into a dictatorship in four years. I doubt he even has the focus, intelligence, or lifespan to do that.

He won't become Putin, he'll just be the poor man's version who Putin uses.

then nov 8th happened, woops

I mean, it probably works out better for her. She gets to spend a ton of time living in another state as him and he'll probably die a lot sooner now.

you know in near immediate retrospect, today seems like the absolute worst day to do that conference. not because it's the first full day/day two, but because people are actually paying attention at the same time as the marches so it probably multiplied how bad it was by a hundred (and it was already very bad)

I mean, you can debate over whether it was a stupid mistake to do it when people were watching or if that was entirely the point to try and change the focus back to them. They knew people were watching and it was all about the protests so they threw a fit. Whether the fit was just a petty reaction to the attention to protests or some Machiavellian fascist play is up for debate, but it was the usual thing with Trump. People weren't giving him enough positive attention so he stormed in and made them pay attention.

Its totally uncool to make fun of the kid, autistic or otherwise. I genuinely feel bad for the kid, not just for whatever problems he may have and the lovely dad he definitely has, but also for the spotlight he'll now have to deal with whatever under.

The older sons are dickheads though, and they kill animals to try and prove to daddy that they're men. But he finds it creepy and will never love them more than Ivanka. They should get therapy and get over it. They're middle aged.

And he just glossed over her and gave some canned lie about Obamacare never once showing any compassion or shared pain.

tiffany was never did media/appearances on the campaign train (except for the rnc)

she's just in the background

She's pretty clearly not a member of the immediate family as she was raised away from them. Like, even when she appeared at stuff like debates she never even got to enter or sit with the other kids. It was sad.

But she's an adult and she did campaign (albeit it minimally) for her dad so I'm not giving her a total pass. She hasn't done anything specific to be hated like the other adult kids but like Melania she stands with the monster.

edit: But like ultimately Donald's a monster who damaged all of them, all most certainly, so I have a little sympathy for them all. Hard to expect them to grow up decent when that's the hand they got dealt. But the adults got to that point where you gotta get judged for your own stuff.

Hahahaha. I love watching the news networks try to cover these rallies without showing any swear words. From what I saw at the Chicago rally, easily 1/3 of signs had references to pussies, piss or poo poo on them, so this rules. On MSNBC they showed a sign that said "Chinga Tu Madre Trump" though because the editors either can't speak Spanish or know they can get away with it.

I wasn't super paying attention but at some point someone on MSNBC or CNN was interviewing Michael Moore and they had an uncomfortable conversation about how women had "reclaimed" "pussy" but they still couldn't say like that other word that got reclaimed by some group. Its going to be interesting as "Grab X Pussy" is clearly going to be one of the things that stick with Anti-Trump protests.

The rich are truly different. Some of it was slightly heart breaking. Like how the kids used to play with the kids of the staff and call the staff by their first names. And then they just realized the staff were "the help" and started being raging loving assholes to them.
I always thought that was the make or break moment for rich kids. Like, in these situations where rich kids are raised by paid help or they grow up with the help's kids there comes this point where the kids finally recognize the dynamic at play. That's when they either decide they're going to keep treating the help like people like they always have or they're going to now make their friends their servants.

I'm sure they often choose the latter because its the culture they're raised in, and it has to fundamentally destroy your capacity for empathy and respect for working people and people of a lower class than you. When you can just order your "friend" or "family member" to cook for you or clean up your messes or do God knows what else then you probably have no chance of developing like a healthy and compassionate person, no matter how much you THINK you are.

Its a twisted version of how us normal people learn the lesson not to work with or for your friends or get business or finances tied up. Because at some point the personal relationship gives way to the business one and then poo poo gets messy. But for those kids its just their entire world building experience instead of the dumb career choice you made in your twenties.

I'm sure the majority of Trump supporters happily ate today up. "The media is lying to you, there were millions of people who love me just like you do!" is right in their sweet spot of BS they eat up.

There's plenty of Republicans who held their nose and voted for Trump who held out hope that he'd calm down when he got in office, and today doesn't help them. But the true believers? The people taught by Conservatives to distrust anyone but them and eat up everything without any critical thought? It will take something bigger to lose most of those people.

My guess is that's losing their healthcare but the Republicans and Trump will feed them a line of bull and they might eat it up. But if someone living in a red state sees their health insurance go to poo poo with a red state government, congress, and president it could be enough for them to smell bullshit when they try and blame it on blue.

The collection of information we have seems to say that the majority of the crowd were CIA staffers who chose to be there because they like Trump but the people who sounded like a TV studio audience were people who came to the event with Trump. So there was probably polite applause and general positive response (at least until he went off the rails) and then the whooping fools.

I'm sure the vast majority were CIA staffers but Trump has an entourage and, as the article being talked about right now indicates, they know that Trump needs a lot of affirmation, so they hoop and holler at his dumb jokes. Obama never got that sort of response and he was genuinely funny. It's because civil servants in that sort of atmosphere are supposed to have an air of professionalism and there's an expectation of distance between the CIA and politicians, or at the very least the appearance thereof. The people hollering and slapping their knees at Trump's dumb jokes were incredibly unprofessional and I have no reason to believe it was CIA staff.

The funny part is that a couple of times they laughed at things that clearly weren't supposed to be jokes like the "I'm like a smart guy" thing. I wonder at what point Trump gets mad that people are laughing at him, not with him, or is blindness to that one of those narcissism things? When people laugh does he just automatically switch to "yeah, I mean that as a joke"?

In fairness, the Obama team wasn't having insane meltdowns on Day 2 so there was less to leak.
