Trump enters White House with republicans in control of house and senate. I am having Nixon flashbacks.

Updates on the election for those of us...

I have a question: does the president-elect enjoy some form of immunity before the oath? I'm asking because of those allegations...

People are going to be shocked by what their vote bought them. Once you dispense with business as usual, you have to replace it with something. Trump's somethings amount to a bunch of shit. The country is going to learn that things can be worse than business as usual. Of course it's meant to be a fuck you to the establishment. It remains to be seen what led to that kind of result. Is it the angry white men celebrating one last victory or is it because moderates couldn't be arsed to even vote? Congress ist sill in Republican hands also and that doesn't sound well for the world at large, since they will jump at the chance to roll back on all the reforms Obama set in motion. Tough times, I guess, for everyone not being a white religious straight male. Tough times for the world, since the last straw for climate change not turning into a catastrophe just went out of the window. What it means for the world economy as well as the foreign policy, noone can say at this moment. But why shouldn't Trump go through with what he said before the election if he got the chance to rule more or less without opposition? ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)

Let the riots begin. I can't see this happening quietly and I don't want it to.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie (November 9, 2016 at 5:20 am)Alex K Wrote:(November 9, 2016 at 5:17 am)Bella Morte Wrote: I don't blame you. Well, you can blame the American voters for that. We Europeans don't exactly have much choice other than sit back and see what happens. I do understand your concerns though.

The only thing I can imagine happening are african american riots, and those are not going to lead to anything good under Trump if you ask me...
