President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

They don't matter anymore. The relevant spectrum of American politics for the next four years runs from moderate to Breitbart.

 

I'm trying to answer the question honestly. "I'm asking why it's worse to seek constitutional support for a belief -- any belief?" is what you asked. I'm not sure there's a blanket answer for that. As to abortion rights I don't dispute the rights of those who honestly believe that a person becomes a person at the moment of conception to seek to change the law. I don't agree with them but that's because I disagree as to when a fetuses rights begin. Is that the question you wanted answered? I can't think of another 'rights' issue that has that kind of duality, though.

 

I don't know if Leslie Stahl is the right one for this interview .

 

She's no Billy Beane. Man, all your moves are belong to Ada.

Clinton’s data-driven campaign relied heavily on an algorithm named Ada. What didn’t she see?

What Ada did, based on all that data, aides said, was run 400,000 simulations a day of what the race against Trump might look like. A report that was spit out would give campaign manager Robby Mook and others a detailed picture of which battleground states were most likely to tip the race in one direction or another — and guide decisions about where to spend time and deploy resources.

 

Secretary of Chair Shots?

 

He's a Republican. Whether there's any evidence to support it or not, that's enough for some people.

 

Hannity O'Reilly Rush and the rest of the gang (Right Wing Media)what do they do now? The libertards can't do anything but protest. Are we going to get 4 years of bitching about hippies? If trump has proven anything it's that he owns the RWM.

But why watch or listen now?

 

Yeah, yeah. Seriously though, the reaction to him is stronger than other people. What are the specific incidents or statements or whatever that sparked it?

 

I saw an article today pointing out the GOP is one state legislature away from being able to push through constitutional amendments unopposed.

 

Bannon has been accused of making racist and anti-Semitic comments more than once, though the two incidents I found were an ex-wife and a former Breitbart staffer.

He was also charged with domestic violence due to an incident with that same woman, before they were divorced. The charges were dropped later because she didn't show for court.

When he took over Breitbart news, it became the favorite of the white nationalist movement.

We're about two steps away from white nationalism being legitimized to the point where "white nationalism isn't racism" is on the political spectrum so fuck it I don't even care to argue whether he personally is racist or not.
