President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Where did @Earthman and @old_tony go? Neither has a profile page any more and you can't summon them with @___?

 

Transition team.

 

Transition surgery. Soon to debut: New_Antoinette.

 

What is the percentage chance that Trump actually runs for a second term? I'd put it at 20 percent.

 

No wonder Drumpf won, people here are too obtuse to realize the nuclear option was used in regard to OT. That is the only answer as to why he went MIA at what should be a time of celebration .

That said, we are able to have nice things, like this shiny new thread, because of his absence.

 

So who's going to the inauguration Mitch?

 

I was kind of looking forward to see what a celebratory tony was like.

 

Was thinking about that today, and I think it's even lower than that. If all the armchair psychology is true, Trump's overarching characteristic is insecurity w.r.t. his status. And whether you're left-wing, right-wing, whatever ... ain't no status like the Oval Office. So why the hell would you want to go through all that again (and risk losing)? What the hell would be the upside?

 

I'm not a consumer of Breitbart News, but it occurs to be that Steve Bannon hosted a daily radio show on SiriusXM radio.

If the guy is raving white supremacist, he surely demonstrated this on his show.

I know we have a claim of anti-Semitic remarks from his ex-wife, made during a contentious divorce proceeding. Are there any on the record statements from the guy that expose him as a white supremacist, a racist, or an anti-Semite?

 

LOL. Was it worse than Matt Lauer's interview?

Did she help to normalize him?

Amid Outrage Over Stephen Bannon,
F.B.I. Reports Surge in Hate Crimes

 

I don't understand why people would say that?

What's it based on?
