Which makes you wonder what unthinkable things will happen next which will be seen as being inevitable by historians.
I don't see Trump doing the less glamorous things a presidency involves. Such as actually sitting in his office and working. So the better question is who he surrounds himself with. It's a pretty good bet that Pence will be at least as powerful as Cheney has been. Not good news as far as social issues are concerned. I bet there will be quite a few theocratic and openly antigay bills on the horizon. Congress won't oppose something like that.
The other names being thrown around don't look good either. Gingrich, Giulliani. All of them give reason for concern. There are already voices to be heard from Congress and the Senate, calling for a complete and utter Damnatio Memoriae of the Obama aera. To revoke every bill and every executive order he ever signed.

Remember everyone was giving me shit for linking to Breitbart?
Take a look at this.
http://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-m...t-10657033
Quote:Donald Trump has dismayed opponents by appointing the head of Breitbart News as chief strategist of his administration.
Stephen Bannon, who quit as executive chairman of the American news network to help Mr Trump's campaign, will also act as his senior counsel.
Launched in 2007 with the aim of being "unapologetically pro-freedom and pro-Israel", Breitbart News has evolved into a platform for the burgeoning 'alt-right' movement that is vociferously opposed to multiculturalism and political correctness.

Yes, he has appointed this guy. Quite a long time ago. But what does that actually say about Breitbart? It remains a shitty source, at the very best twisting real stories into something convenient or simply inventing them. Sometimes even bringing up stories that are several years old and presenting them as if they happened yesterday.

Yeah, flash is a real pain in the ass at times.
Wish it would hurry up and die already...

Both candidates are a disaster in my book, it was a choice between the lesser of two evils, and I have to say trump was the lesser evil. That's not saying a whole lot when the choice is between Beelzebub and Satan.
So why didn't you vote for both Trump and for the Democrats to keep him in check?
You didn't vote. That means that you are partly responsible for the shit about to hit the fan.
Remember that in four years time.

Quote:Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund co-founder Jenny Beth Martin also warned in a statement that naming Priebus, a "Washington insider," as chief of staff "would make it more difficult, not less, for President Trump to achieve the change the people voted for."
A campaign source with knowledge of the decision said, "Instead of draining the swamp, we just put in the head alligator."

He's not even in office yet, and he's already shitting all over the change that his fans have been clamoring for. This is what you get for trusting an obvious charlatan.

You'd better sit down. He's appointed Steve Bannon, of BreitBart, as "co-equal advisor". Anti-Semite tinfoiler sitting next to POTUS.
Yep, it's gonna be a bumpy ride ... buckle up.

You will still get shit from me for linking to any article from that shitsplat to support your points. It has all the journalistic credibility and integrity of the back of a box of Cracker Jack.

It says nothing about Breitbart that Breitart wouldn;t gleefully admit to while snapping a full sig fucking heil. It -does- say plenty about the trumpsters that they simply can't admit to themselves. Years of liberal propaganda really -did- work, after all. They hate themselves almost as much as they hate the other™.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, wouldn't want to let that KKK endorsment go to waste. But they're also staunchly pro Israel. But don't let that fool you. There's a rather curious coalition between the extreme right and the current israeli government on a global level. Yet they haven't changed in their hardly veiled antisemitism. It just so happens that they're looking for powerful allies endorsing their hatred against muslims. In the USA, if the religious right is in play, it may also be connected to their doomsday porn. It's on the lines of extreme jewish right meeting extreme European and American right.
It might just happen that in three weeks time we have a german nationalist chemtrails tinfoiler and religious nutter for president. That's our last round of presidential elections, since the right did what Trump threatened to do if losing the elections. Invoke the supreme court.
