President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Now you sound like Trump. Sad!

Now you sound delusional. Seek help!

 

Frightened by Donald Trump? You don’t know the half of it

Yes, Donald Trump’s politics are incoherent. But those who surround him know just what they want, and his lack of clarity enhances their power. To understand what is coming, we need to understand who they are. I know all too well, because I have spent the past 15 years fighting them.

Over this time, I have watched as tobacco, coal, oil, chemicals and biotech companies have poured billions of dollars into an international misinformation machine composed of thinktanks, bloggers and fake citizens’ groups. Its purpose is to portray the interests of billionaires as the interests of the common people, to wage war against trade unions and beat down attempts to regulate business and tax the very rich. Now the people who helped run this machine are shaping the government.

The 'alt-right' splinters as supporters and critics agree it was white supremacy all along

 

Will it matter when she quits a couple of years into the Trump administration?

 

She won't quit. The cabinet secretaries serve at the "pleasure" of the president, their actual duties consist of whatever the president wants them to do, even if those "duties" consist of dancing around the Oval Office in a halter top. So Tundra Tawnee will definitely be kept around for Fucko's "pleasure." To say nothing of her daughters, hubba-hubba!

 

Save it for your Sky Is Falling thread, thanks.

 

You can only think that if you didn't want to #draintheswamp.

 

This is silly.

Trump has picked some experienced people, and some people who have served in D.C., and in big banking, but he's not picking retreads.

So far, only Elaine Chao has served in a previous administration. (Sessions was an USA, but he was a ranking official in the Justice Department.

These aren't retreads. They aren't the same old people. These are people committed to helping to drain the swamp.

 

Blah, blah, blah. His points are relevant here, unlike your long-winded screechings.
