I would love to see it play out this way boomerangutang but something tells me that this pathological President, and especially his advisers, particularly Bannon, have some more sinister scenarios in mind.

 

With the budget priority on defence spending is it just speculating to infer that this administration is gearing up for some real conflict? North Korea perhaps? Who knows, but there is nothing like a bit of armed conflict to deflect to scrutiny and criticism away and pull the patriotism card. Thatcher and the Falklands, G W Bush and Iraq come to mind.

 

Just on the slash and burn budget: no hint of the trillion dollar public works program that the great Donald promised right through his campaign. Military spending first.

 

The mighty, 555, Reagan and Grenada!

Nazi(s) in the white house?

Calls to fire close trump adviser Gorka (good buddy of Breitbart propagandist alt-right white nationalist Bannon) because of his Nazi ties back in Hungary.

I would like to see both Gorka and Bannon fired but don't expect it. That's trump being trump, surrounding himself with such hateful sleazeballs.

 

Gorka failed to disclose his Nazi ties at immigration interviews. That can still be pursued today even though he is now a citizen. He still may have been eligible to become a citizen if he had disclosed them but his legal problem now that it's come out that he failed to disclose them.

Sebastian Gorka, who sits in the Trump White House as deputy assistant to the president just five years after becoming a U.S. citizen, has faced growing controversy about his academic and professional credentials. Critics have also highlighted his past association with racist and anti-Semitic figures in Hungary, where he lived as a citizen for many years before coming to the United States. Questions have been raised, too, about whether he has been granted the security clearances that would ordinarily be necessary for someone working as the president’s chief counter-terrorism consultant.

Senior Trump Aide Forged Key Ties To Anti-Semitic Groups In Hungary

 

But an investigation by the Forward into Gorka’s activities from 2002 to 2007, while he was active in Hungarian politics and journalism, found that he had close ties then to Hungarian far-right circles, and has in the past chosen to work with openly racist and anti-Semitic groups and public figures.

 

Gorka’s involvement with the far right includes co-founding a political party with former prominent members of Jobbik, a political party with a well-known history of anti-Semitism; repeatedly publishing articles in a newspaper known for its anti-Semitic and racist content; and attending events with some of Hungary’s most notorious extreme-right figures.

 

When Gorka was asked — in an email exchange with the Forward — about the anti-Semitic records of some of the groups and individuals he has worked with, he instead pivoted to talk about his family’s history.

Sebastian Gorka has an interesting job in the White House. He is a self-proclaimed “irregular warfare strategist,” so one might think he would be working at the National Security Council. As it turns out, he’s not, but rather a deputy to strategist Stephen K. Bannon and part of his Strategic Initiatives Group. He believes that conventional counterterrorism experts have underestimated the ideological component of the war on terrorism, and that the key to defeating the Islamic State and al-Qaeda is identifying the enemy as radical Islamic terrorism.

 

No wonder this administration is in trouble.  Look at who they've hired.

So far, Trump has been mercifully incompetent

 

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump remarked often on the stupidity of our leaders. He was under the impression that the rest of the planet was indulging in some sort of global guffaw at our expense. “How stupid are we? The world is laughing.” If so, what must the mirthful world think of our current state of affairs?

Or, once  the election was decided, many of them do not feel the need to engage. This was a sentiment expressed by several such posters (notably, the better quality element). Guess it would also have some correlation with actual support for Trump vs. rejection of HRC. Those leaning more to the latter, will have less to say in favor of Trump. Their main point being that he's not HRC.

 

Lumping them all together, and airing unflattering guesswork generalizations is off-mark.

                  It's not only right-wingers and rednecks who sucked up all the fake denigrating crap that the Russkies and Trump dished out.    More than a few lefties also believed it.   My daughter, for example, went cross country from CA to PA to join with Sanders supporters during the primaries.  She's very liberal.  Yet, when we hung out briefly in December, she went on and on denigrating HRC.  It surprised me, and was a bit sad to hear.  It became clear to me (thought I didn't tell her outright) that she had been influenced by the Alt-Right and the Russkies into believing all the trash talk spewing out of Wikileaks and Donald's mouth.  

 

                Another aspect of that:   Many liberals who would have voted for HRC (especially to vote against Trump) actually used the 'write-in' feature on their ballots to write some cartoon character in.  Thousands of Florida ballots, for example, had Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck written in. All those folks thought it was a shoe-in for HRC, so they wasted their vote.   The number of wasted votes far outnumbered the # of votes which gave him the majority - which enabled him to win Florida.  Much the same probably happened in several other states where Trump got a small majority of votes.

 

             Even so, I think the one biggest reason HRC lost was FBI boss Comey's shitty announcement, 9 days prior to the election, that the FBI was going to look at Weiner's emails.   Comey, to me, is nearly as decrepit as the harmful-to-America dufuses occupying the Oval Office.   For that reason, I give him zero credence when he makes an announcement (on Monday or whenever).

Comey, for the assist, definitely deserves one of those friends of Russia awards like Tillerson got.

I agree that Comey should have been fired already, but for different reasons. At any rate, he didn't tell the U.S. public anything they didn't already know about Hillary, her track record speaks for it's self.

The write-in vote in Florida only amounted to .27%..

 

The problem with Clinton is she is not as bright or left as she thinks and portrays herself to be. The thing I noticed most during the campaign was that she acted like the biggest demographic block in the country didn't exist. Very dangerous tactic when nearly half the voting population doesn't usually vote so are up for grabs. I know one of them and he  voted for the first time in his life at age 60 solely because of his hatred of Clinton. On the other side many usual Dem voters stayed home.

"A majority of young adults — 57 percent — see Trump's presidency as illegitimate,

including about three-quarters of blacks and large majorities of Latinos and Asians, the GenForward poll found."

 

"A slim majority of young whites in the poll, 53 percent, consider Trump a legitimate president,

but even among that group 55 percent disapprove of the job he's doing, according to the survey."

 

"Overall, just 22 percent of young adults approve of the job he is doing as president, while 62 percent disapprove."

In One Rocky Week, Trump's Self-Inflicted Chaos on Vivid Display

 

"I have to be nice, otherwise I'll get criticized for speaking poorly about our courts, he said. But he could not help himself: The president soon suggested that the court that had just ruled against him should be destroyed. "People are screaming, ˜Break up the Ninth Circuit!"

 

"Once again, Mr. Trump's agenda was subsumed by problems of his own making, his message undercut by a seemingly endless stream of controversy he cannot seem to stop himself from feeding."

 

"It's a pattern with him- he sometimes counterpunches so hard he hits himself," said Ari Fleischer, who served as White House press secretary for George W. Bush.
