President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You guys, chill. @JDV is back.

Everything is going to be OK.


EDIT: First post on page 5,000 references the Super Genius. My work here is done.

 

Major right-wing donor Bob Mercer is leaving his hedge fund and selling his stake in Breitbart

The press has also intimated that my politics marches in lockstep with Steve Bannon's. I have great respect for Mr. Bannon, and from time to time I do discuss politics with him. However, I make my own decisions with respect to whom I support politically. Those decisions do not always align with Mr. Bannon's.

Without individuals thinking for themselves, society as a whole will struggle to distinguish the signal of truth from the correlated noise of conformity. I supported Milo Yiannopoulos in the hope and expectation that his expression of views contrary to the social mainstream and his spotlighting of the hypocrisy of those who would close down free speech in the name of political correctness would promote the type of open debate and freedom of thought that is being throttled on many American college campuses today. But in my opinion, actions of and statements by Mr. Yiannopoulos have caused pain and divisiveness undermining the open and productive discourse that I had hoped to facilitate. I was mistaken to have supported him, and for several weeks have been in the process of severing all ties with him.

For personal reasons, I have also decided to sell my stake in Breitbart News to my daughters.

 

I kinda thought the election was proof of that.

 

Removing George Washington statues is a winning strategy for defeating Trump.

 

The interesting takeaway to me was how Obama apparently fucked the DNC's treasury. That would be in line with the assumption that he had zero interest in helping the Clintons in any way, to the detriment of his legacy.

 

Many people are still with her.

 

Not as much the detriment to his legacy as the detriment to the future of the party. Oh well.

 

She has a large following of supporters. But she's out. She's not running for anything ever again. Those supporters will go elsewhere, sooner rather than later, because they will have nothing to support her for. There is a general consensus on policy within the party. In 2020, my only requirement for the nominee is that the man or woman must be younger than I am (I will be 71).

 

Is there one person on this board who is still "with her"?
