Can I join a Thread somewhere denouncing this racism?

On the eve of the election, I was, like many others, aghast and dismayed
at the election of Donald Trump. I could not fathom the election of this
many who had railed against pretty much every minority group, and
threatened to ignite a trade war in a misguided attempt to bring jobs
back to our shores. He is a person who has a history of being a sexual
predator, who’s temperament and knowledge base clearly disqualifies him
from the presidency and who does not exude the intellectual depth or
level of curiosity to learn and grow into the job .

However, after taking a deep breath and listening to Secretary Clinton’s
gracious concession speech and President Obamas call for acceptance of
the decision and national unity and healing, I decided to take a step
back and say that, rather dwell on his past words and deeds, I would
judge him by what he says and does going forward. I said that I would
chalk much of it up to campaign rhetoric and bluster intended to rally
his base, and reminded myself that he has a history of holding some
liberal and progressive views that may reemerge later.

That rapprochement lasted less than a week. In his first few days as
president elect, he has done the following:


1. Appointed a climate change denier to head the EPA transition team:
Trump names proud climate-science denier to head EPA transition team

2. He has continued to disparage the press and has not allowed them to
accompany him on his plane- defying precedent :

And, by far the worst move……….

3. Appointed a white nationalist as his chief strategist and political
advisor to the administration:
Democrats Decry Bannon Pick: No Place In The White House For A 'White Nationalist' | The Huffington Post

Democrats raised alarms Monday over the naming of Steve Bannon,
executive chairman at Breitbart News, as President-elect Donald Trump’s
chief strategist and senior counselor.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the pick an
“alarming signal” that Trump “remains committed to the hateful and
divisive vision that defined his campaign.”

Bannon, known for his white nationalist views, took a break from running
Brietbart ― which has published headlines like “Racist, Pro-Nazi Roots
Of Planned Parenthood Revealed” ― to help run Trump’s campaign. Trump
announced Bannon’s new position on Sunday.



“There must be no sugarcoating the reality that a white nationalist has
been named chief strategist for the Trump Administration,” Pelosi said
in a statement Monday.

She urged Trump to bring Americans together rather than continue to “fan
the flames of division.”



House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) called Bannon’s appointment
“deeply disturbing.”

“His leadership of Breitbart, which provides a voice to radical white
supremacist groups, allegations about his comments on Jews, and charges
of domestic abuse ought to be seen as disqualifying for a role at the
White House,” Hoyer said.



As a side note, one has to wonder how this will set with his son in law
and influential advisor, and who is also an Orthodox Jew.? How will
they get along? Very strange indeed.

4. Now, he is proposing the hawkish and controversial John Bolton to be
Secretary of State, a nomination that flies in the face of this position
that he has taken on wanting to improve relations with Russia:


Donald Trump Leaning Toward Extreme Militant John Bolton As Secretary Of State | The Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump is leaning toward naming as
secretary of state John Bolton, a bellicose enemy of Russia and Iran who
is among the most hawkish members of the Republican foreign policy
community, according to two sources familiar with Trump’s thinking.

5. He is also floating the name of Rudi Giuliani for Secretary of state
which might even be worse:

Here's another map which might be a harbinger of the future:

People usually get more conservative as they get older. Your map is meaningless.

I have always been conservative and my mom was always liberal.

Wrong. Once people get a home, get kids, and wise up, they realize THEY are now the "other" in the progressive "other people's money" ponzi game

Do you own a home (I own three), do you have kids (I have two), and my intellect and education is far superior to the bullshit you post. I go to bed with my wife of 45 years, you go to bed with a gun; I have more money in a savings account, than you have ever had at one time in your life. So fuck off.

No, No, and I would put my IQ and education against yours any day of the week. I have a Masters in ChemE,

And, u mad bro?

And my Masters is in the dept. of Education, a special topic: Human Relations, which allowed for a wide range of classes and seminars in the liberal arts. As for your claim of a superior IQ, need I remind you that the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski graduated from Harvard University in 1962, at age 20, and subsequently enrolled at the University of Michigan, where he earned a PhD in mathematics.

Maybe if he had taken some of my graduate course work, Psychology, Soc Psyc, Ab Psyc, Sociology, Anthropology, etc. someone would have noticed he was a bit odd, as many in the slide rule set seem to be.

You are the one who challenged by intelligence and Education, I responded. Bringing up the Unibomber is an idiotic diversion.

A Human relations degree? Lol.

Really, you claim to be bright and didn't get it! That's really funny. You can build a bomb, I can ID the bomb thrower and lock 'em up.

No I get that you don't actually have one, or have one in some soft attendance award subject.

That there is a general trend among people over time to go from progressive to more conservative, as their life experience expands, their responsibilities increase, and what they have to lose increases.

It isn't a hard rule, but a general trend.

In my life experience I have seen the opposite.
The majority of our young are raised conservative , then they change to become progressive in college.

Actually, in my later years-I'm 69- I went from being a Marxist to a Democratic Socialist ala Bernie. However, on social issues I am further out there to the left than ever before.

Trump demands apology from ‘Hamilton’ after cast’s message to Pence


Reply: Shut the fuck up. Grow the fuck up. Stop whining. Be presidential. This is the big league. If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch. Try to deal with things that matter.

This thin skinned jackass is not going to last a year in office. Even the scum bucket Pence appears to have had the good sense to ignore it.

12 Reasons Jeff Sessions Should Never Be Attorney General | Right Wing Watch

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama to be attorney general.

Sessions must first be confirmed by the Senate. The first time Sessions faced a Senate confirmation, it didn’t go so well for him. Nominated to a federal district judgeship in Alabama in 1986, Sessions was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee after multiple witnesses came forward to report his history of racist comments and hostility to civil rights groups.

Sessions was later elected attorney general of Alabama and then was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he eventually joined the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same body that had rejected his own judicial nomination. In the Senate, Sessions has continued to build a record of hostility toward civil rights and has become one of the most outspoken anti-immigrant voices in Congress.

White Nationalists Celebrate ‘an Awakening’ After Donald Trump’s Victory
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/u...ackage-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

WASHINGTON — For years, they have lurked in the web’s dark corners, masking themselves with cartoon images and writing screeds about the demise of white culture under ominous pseudonyms. But on Saturday, in the wake of Donald J. Trump’s surprising election victory, hundreds of his extremist supporters converged on the capital to herald a moment of political ascendance that many had thought to be far away.

To those of you supporting this piece of shit.....tell us again why. Don't lie !

Relevance, by definition, is relative. Intelligence, on the other hand, is not. When I see the rantings of what even you admit are those of an aging hipster, I can only question it;s vapidness. Idealism and that degree of self-righteousness in youth is understandable. At your age it is silly if not comical.

It is far too late to suggest you grow up. That bird has flown.
