It wont be fatal to you. It wont be fatal to people on wall street. It wont be fatal to car dealership owners. It wont be fatal to suburban housewives. It wont be fatal to the Brookings institute.

It will be fatal to so many people that had no choice in the matter, whose lives were ruined by the rich who smashed up creatures and things and retreated into lives of wealth and carelessness.

That’s not specific to Trump though. What you’re describing are ordinary Republican policies that would’ve been implemented if Cruz, Rubio, or Jeb Bush had won.

And that's why I oppose all Republicans. Trump is the symptom not the cause. But its not all going to revert back or be okay. Lives will be destroyed in the meantime.
 
US has been going to shit for a while now. Trump is helping to mask the decline with the clownish antics that dominate the news. Moneyed interests love the distraction while the real damage is being done.
 
Raoul said:
I don't know about that. The US is still in the Paris deal until Trump leaves office and could easily remain in it if he's voted out (or before if he's impeached).

A lot of the drama you see on social media is creating a perceptual illusion that there has been a tangible change in the real world when its largely just a daily amplification of anxiety on social media. People are being affected by network homophily which is creating a bit of a sky is falling affect in how they perceive the real world.

Is what ICE is currently doing a social media phenomenon as well?

They are acting on Trump's policy. Remove Trump and they go back to doing their original tasking which was to deal with infrastructure and human trafficking issues related to preventing further 9/11 style attacks.

Don't think it will be that easy. All the racist / supremacist pieces of shit in the country are now emboldened because the fecking president is their champion. It will not go away easily just by a change of the head of state. The root of the issue is that they are so many of the mentioned types , who have been reserved to express their opinions openly before , but now it's no longer the case and they wave around their disgusting worldviews like banners. This is not going back easily.

He has never proved what the media said was a fake news, tbh. He just repeats "it's fake, it's fake, it's fake!" without any evidence.

You can make a pretty good argument that the rise of Trump was necessary to smoke them out of their hiding places, ostracize them, and create the conditions whereby its nearly impossible for them to gain any traction. Just look at last weekend's alt-right march compared with a year ago. It is now much more difficult for them to pull of these large events without getting severe pushback from the rest of society.
 
Seems to be about Lara Trump paying Omarosa to continue campaigning for Trump after her firing. She also seems to have a lot more to say that was not in the book.
 
The media has to wise up to his antics and just put him on ignore for a while. I mean whatever he does is making news 24/7 and I think the media thinks bad publicity of him will make the people who voted for him think twice about it. But if the media do really care, they should just ignore and shouldn't give him the publicity he deserves, that what was he used to win the campaign. He created a siege mentality among the voters that the media is out to get him and his base. Him not on the front page will also wind him up even more.

Any negative news on Trump will be spun by the voters who voted for him, so no matter how bad a news against Trump is, the media will not win. But at this moment, I think the media doesn't care about that, Trump news is money for them, so they just keep going with it.

Very empowering, just a shame it'll be a whisper in the wind when it comes to speaking out against Trump, wish there were more like this Man who clearly loves this country unlike the Orange one, makes you wonder why these kinda folks don't run for Presidency?

Indeed. Wouldn't be surprised if more senior military generals/admirals come out with the same.

That opening statement...
Dear Mr. President:

Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.

Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.

Jacob is a known troll. Used to claim he was the world's youngest hedge fund manager a few years ago. He's now mostly a Trump fanboy on twitter.

Is he the one who kept tweeting at Trump in the vain hope that Trump would help him out of his legal difficulties, or am I thinking of someone else?
