Now that the maladministration has botched their first military action, President Vain Glorious will be double intent to prove he’s a “winner.” Besides, 45 has the Bush/Cheney brown-people body count to exceed to make America great, again.
Apparently, a female U.S. Senator reading actual history to the Senate will get that woman censored and told to “stand outside” for reading words of truth. Those words of truth being written by a woman of color regarding a RACIST, old man who has been annointed to be our Attorney General.
Jeff Sessions is a RACIST DEFECTIVE who has no business on any Cabinet. (45 loves his defectives, they provide cover for his many obvious defects.)
Here is a clear lesson from the Pence/McConnell Senate and our demented maladministration, - Women and those of color - STAND OUTSIDE! for at least for the next 1,442 days. Racism and misogyny in plain sight is now Senate policy.
Rich - the only “holy war” of real concern is the on-going power grab by the Seven Mountains Mandate Dominionists. The seven mountain mandate aka the “seven mountain prophecy” is a faux-Christian political movement which gained a following in large screen Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. Those who follow the seven mountain mandate believe, in order for Christ to return to earth, the Dominionists must take complete control of the seven major spheres of influence in society for the glory of Christ. Once the world has been made subject to the kingdom of God, Jesus will return and rule the world. Dominionists are intent on controlling our:
1) Education
2) Religion
3) Family
4) Business
5) Government/Military
6) Arts/Entertainment
7) Media
How many maladministration and Cabinet members are part of the faux-Christian political movement? Start with Vice President Mike Pence and go from there.
The new White House which includes Herr Bannon amounts to a slow-motion Coup D’ete attempt. 45 is attempting to include “Turn on the Hate” Bannon in the reshuffled the National Security Council.
For a Coup D’ete attempt to be successful, the rank and file of the local police and uniform military must be willing to take orders from the new government leaders once the coup is underway.
The maladministration Criminal Mexican and Radical Islamic Terrorist Make America Great Defense Taskforce will serve that purpose here in the U.S., real soon.
“Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.”@realDonaldTrump
When will this current painfully insecure maladministration switch from “please love me?” to “You ALL WILL love me or else!” and how?
It’s been done before. Republicans take perverted joy in PUNISHING THE VICTIMS. Subsequent to 9/11 our Right to Privacy VANISHED under a Republican Congress and another LYING Republican administration.
And history is brimming with precipitous FALSE FLAGS. Here are 42 ADMITTED False Flag Attacks. link to washingtonsblog.com See numbers 3,17, 30 and 31 as reminders.
Professor Cole - A bit surprised to read nary a word regarding impudent white law enforcement who have been committing murder under the shade of the law since the Civil War.
Aside from damaging our planet, the increased production of fossil fuels causes other much more immediate and discernible negative effects such as -
• A STATE OF CONTINUOUS WAR
• UNCONTROLLABLE AND RAMPANT POLITICAL CORRUPTION
• THE SPREADING OF FALSE INFORMATION WHICH DEMEANS ACTUAL SCIENCE AND ENDANGERS LIVES AND HEALTH
• DESTROYING OUR PUBLIC LANDS
And yes, I am shouting. Hammer on your brain dead Congresscritters to STOP KILLING THE WORLD!
Notice the dingbat POTUS often transposes the word “country” when he means himself, e.g.:
“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
or
“The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
The second tweet amounts to direct criminal contempt as criminal contempt is generally regarded as a disobedient or open disrespect for the court. Contempt takes the form of actions that are seen as detrimental to the court's ability to administer justice. Posting the crime on Twitter makes this direct criminal contempt, a jail-able offense.
Defeating ISIS (January 28) a thinly-veiled Declaration for War
This MEMORANDUM instructs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to construct a plan to defeat ISIS and submit that plan to the president within 30 days. The plan must include a comprehensive strategy for defeating ISIS, changes to the rules of engagement, strategies to de-legitimize “radical Islamist ideology,” a plan for cutting off ISIS’ financial support and identification of new partners for the fight against the terrorist organization.
President Vain Glorious Enlarged-Prostate (why he is up at 3 AM) fully intends to go to war in Mesopotamia and soon. The last time the U.S. went to war for oil, the effort killed 4,267 loyal and trusting troops and maimed 30,182, link to globalsecurity.org killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians, link to watson.brown.edu displacing MILLIONS and utterly destabilizing the region for decades yet to come.
Now that the black-mailing fossil-fuel industry has total control of our government, ANY oil producing country who angers 45 could get sacked for their natural resources? Mexico and Venezuela come to mind. And a lot closer than Mosul.
Howard Stern who has known 45 for decades as fellow “pussy grabbers” and woman debaser link to buzzfeed.com said that he believes the presidency will be "detrimental" to the mental health of his old friend Donald Trump — because he just wants to be loved. link to nbcnews.com
Stern firmly believes that Trump's whole presidential bid just started as a lark so that he could get more money out of NBC when he renegotiated his contract for the Apprentice television show.
"I think it started as kind of a cool, fun thing to do to get a couple more bucks out of NBC for the Apprentice. I actually do believe that."
"And that's why Donald is calling for voter fraud investigation. He's pi--ed he won!" said Stern. "He's hoping he can find some voter fraud and hand it over to Hillary!"
45 loves defectives. Obviously, there is something seriously wrong with this woman. She is not the only one. If a knowing madman surrounds himself with defectives, he doesn’t appear so dangerously defective himself.
" As president, Eisenhower not only spoke out against the dangers of the military-industrial complex but also stressed that America’s power is ultimately rooted in the strength of its economy and the health of its citizens, not in seeking magical military solutions or in overspending on the Pentagon. Unfortunately, Donald Trump is no Dwight D. Eisenhower."
President Eisenhower was the last actual Republican President.
Upon entering WWII the Selective Service Act (SSA) required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. The oldest actually conscripted was 45 years-old, a doctor. During a tactical nuclear exchange military and support personnel die or become contaminated in great numbers requiring many replacements.
Not only Iran has been put “on notice” but now there is this - Quoting 45 at the National Prayer Meeting where he promised the obliterate the boundary between church and state. Adding this - ”the world is in trouble, but ‘we're’ going to straighten it out." . . . . . Will someone please throw a net over this guy?
Apparently, the 45 EGOMANIA knows no bounds? He does not rule the entire planet except in the broken minds of Herr Bannon and our Commander-in Twitter, tool of the The Seven Mountains of Societal Influence Dominionists.
Before threatening a country with military action it is always better to learn how to do it , FIRST.
President •••clown and his first botched military raid. U.S. military officials said that the weekend raid in Yemen was approved by President Trump without sufficient intelligence or ground support.
45s military experience amounts to scowling looks during real estate and casino meetings. His dangerous INCOMPETENCE has already cost the life of U.S. Navy Seal William "Ryan" Owens and a number of little children. The U.S. military is looking into whether more little children were slaughtered during the weekend raid on al Qaeda in Yemen. Kin of those 14 “militants” killed. 45 wants to confirm his campaign pledge to kill families (women an children) of militants.
“I live in a land whose history is that our forefathers did not ‘immigrate here’, but, came here, forcefully took it from the Indians, settled it; . . . “ basically, immigrants murdering native Americans for their land.
“We, Tarheels, have our own world; and, thus, are in need of neither additions to fulfill us, perpetuate us, nor to ‘remain competitive’.” The inbreeding in “our own world” has long been having an effect.
Fortunately, Junius, you write on behalf of a small, angry, RACIST portion of the good people of North Carolina who “have their own world.”
Quoting Professor Cole - “Ironically, it is white nationalists, with their hatred of foreigners and who are endangering American competitiveness in the new century.” And not all that is being “endangered.”
When it comes to immigration, attitudes like the one posted here - IS the problem because it empowers an egomaniac, nut-case in our White House to act on the ignorant, threatening xenophobia of a few.
Dr. Ip - Really nice work here especially regarding framing and manipulated distractions.
The tool “Criminalization” from “Lock her up” to just days after 45 spoke of a “running war’’ with the press, when Herr Bannon directed the media to 'Keep Its Mouth Shut.’ a less than tacit warning to journalists, everywhere.
The “Criminalization” of anyone who dares to even question 45 and his toadies is inevitable and will soon escalate from ”framing” to a more direct approach.
By years end, the Deportation Army will be pounding on doors searching for brown skin “criminals” and making a recorded pledge of allegiance to 45 from white people. Demanding loyalty is nothing new.
The future President-elect makes members of his Orlando crowd raise their right hands and swear to vote in the primary. pic.twitter.com/EVenRilJrV
40 Nobel laureates and thousands of academics sign protest of the 45 immigration order and are now subject to ridicule and defamation, to be denounced on Twitter. link to washingtonpost.com
Too sum it up, 45 is bats•••t crazy and is a clear threat to the entire planet and inhabitants in so many ways. The last time someone this deranged came to power the world banded together and utterly turned to rubble, the country that allowed a psychopath into power.
Here is sadism by campaign promise, fulfilled - 45 fulfills another odious campaign promise where he would order the killing of the families of terrorists.
Islamophobes of America - Rejoice. In the recent U.S.Commando attack in Yemen approved by 45, his first, which cost the life of one U.S. Commando also caused significant civilian carnage. U.S. officials denied any civilian casualties, but medics on the scene reported 10 women and little children were slaughtered in the operation.
Q-Ryan and McConnell stand between us and outright autocracy. Any bets on what happens next?
A- Like all our Congressional COWARDS, they drop their drawers and assume the position.
To man his highly touted deportation force aka “door-kickers,” President Donald J.Trump is reviving an old depreciated Bush/Cheney program that deputizes local city police officers to enforce federal immigration law and assure the loyalty of citizens.
Also in his odious executive order this week, Trump said he wants to empower local law enforcement to act as his immigration police and augment the nationwide ”investigation, apprehension, or detention" of immigrants and those who support them while in the country illegally.
If you reside in Arizona, Texas or California expect some armed-to-the-teeth transplanted hillbilly to be pounding on your door in 2017 asking who mows the yard or do you have a cleaning service or a nannie? Do you speak Spanish? Favorite Mexican restaurant?
Unwittingly hiring undocumented “Mow-blow-and-go” guys will become a Federal crime. Not reporting a sighting of a brown-skinned person will become a misdemeanor.
getoffmedz is a f••king crimewave, there were 15 muchachos installing a new roof here last month. My groundskeeper is an “anchor dad.” getoffmedz prefers Negra Modelo over Budweiser and Mezcal over Whiskey . . . . . Now toasting - FU 45!! and the angry, ignorant racists that brought you!
A - Mike Pence is an avowed Dominionist. Dominonism - A faux-Christian extreme right-wing cult endeavoring to make our country a theocracy with the Dominionists in control. They are currently a heartbeat away. link to publiceye.org
As long as the First Amendment only protects Donald J. Trump and his toadies and excludes ALL OTHERS, he is fine with it. Otherwise, it will be nibbled away at the local levels by ongoing anti-First Amendment legislation under the guise of public safety and “false news” concerns.
Here’s a scary perspective from an expert on the subject. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned Friday that "it all looks as if the world is preparing for war." adding "Politicians and military leaders sound increasingly belligerent and defense doctrines more dangerous. Commentators and TV personalities are joining the bellicose chorus. It all looks as if the world is preparing for war."
Gorbachev oversaw the agreement with the U.S. to reduce their nuclear arsenals. President Donald Trump, however, has suggested bolstering the number of such WMDs at his disposal, something that would reverse decades of American policy.
And Donald J. Trump can’t wait to light off his first nuke.
Quoting Vincente Fox Quesada - “Today we turn into an era of uncertainty. If Donald the Unready doesn't learn to behave, the rest of the world needs to come together.” - Which is precisely what happened the last time a fascist ultra-nationalistic country led by a egomaniac psychopath menaced the world.
Not only is mortgage insurance and the ACA on the chopping block but according to Mick Mulvanney, Medicare and Social Security will also be cut. link to youtube.com
Watch the Mulvanney hearing. He is a Tea Party tax scofflaw weaselwording defective.
Given no actual choices, climate scientists will be amongst the first to be depreciated by the anti-fact Trump administration. There is not much of a job market for atmospheric science outside of our government.
Going rogue on Twitter, BFD. But going crazy might spur some real action?
Why doesn’t Trump demand the U.S. be compensated for the cost of Shock and Awe, torturing IraqI citizens (not cheap), finding Saddam in a hole and sending 600 troops to guard their embassy from whoever else is after their oil and be done with it. He’s a businessman? Make a deal!
With a 20% import tax on foreign goods. Imported goods-based companies like WAL•MART will not be able to hire the employees they have claimed to Trump. Surely, this proposed tariff will have a negative effect on Amazon’s bottom line.
Trumpflation will hurt those in our lower income segment, the most. Lower cost foods from Mexico and South America will jump in price or become unavailable, causing SHORTAGES and place more spending pressure on those least able to withstand YUUUGE inflation on basic goods LIKE FOOD.
With an estimated 15-19 percent of the U.S. food supply imported, including 50 percent of fresh fruits, 20 percent of fresh vegetables and 80 percent of seafood. Look for restaurant prices to go up, bigtime. And good luck with sushi.
We have a “businessman President” who is a TERRIBLE businessman, who will eagerly disadvantage businesses in his own country to appear decisive and tough.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago
Two tweets combined -
The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting
Here is President Trump’s first diplomatic FAILURE! with one of our closest friends and allies. TERRIBLE! Now calling President Trump a WEAK LEADER. Run away Trump, go hide on Twitter. Loser!
If the Trump maladministraton fully intends to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem this visa ban would be a prudent ban only if the ban included Saudi Arabia?
First, they came for the Muslims, next they came for the Mexicans and Central Americans, next they came for the Jews, the Blacks would have been next , saved by the NFL.
The product to be delivered from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf Coast in Texas is diluted bitumen or dilbit which contains so little crude oil that the Texas Railroad Commission does not consider dilbit to be taxable as a petroleum product. As dilbit contains some hydrocarbons at extreme ends of the viscosity range, the material can be more difficult to process than typical crude oil and leaves megatons of refinery waste called “petcoke” which is sold to poorer countries as the dirtiest fuel source known to man. Petcoke is atmospheric poison in it’s purest form. The EPA has banned it’s use within the U.S. except as raw material to process for use in the manufacture of explosives.
Dilbit must be diluted with toxic solvents and heated to transport, the highest pipe temperature is expected to remain below 120° for dilbit to flow through a pipeline which makes operation of the pipeline very ENERGY INTENSIVE (who pays for that?). The tar sands bitumen is basically asphalt in consistency.
The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Oxbow Carbon LLC, William (Bill) Koch has built one of the largest marketing companies of fuel-grade and calcined petroleum coke in the world. The renewed push for the Keystone XL pipeline is the blatantly OBVIOUS pay back for the MiLLIONS in dark money given to elect Trump as President.
Donald J. Trump features himself as MORE than our President. He considers 99% of the citizens of the U.S. to be HIS personal property to do with as he pleases. Whatever Trump tweets or blurts becomes “alternate facts” which overrides reality. Trump now wants to establish GLOBAL ORDER in his name with FAUXNews as his primary source of information using the flesh and lives of our loyal and trusting military to assure his glory.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
“Look where the world is today, a total mess, and ISIS is still running around wild. I can fix it fast, . .”
but the Middle East and Europe will not enjoy the fallout.
Trump has Bush/Cheney Envy. He has to kill and maim more brown people than they did. Count on it.
Virtually ANYONE who is not WEALTHY, WHITE, MALE and connected will be subject to criminalization in Trumpistan. This maladministration will be watching, listening, collecting EVERYTHING. Not only by his government but Trump’s contracted citizen spy company, Cambridge Analytica which claims to hold data on 230 MILLION U.S. adults with more than 3,700 data points on each adult. Did any of these 230 MILLION U.S. adults give Cambridge Analytica permission to do this? How will this information be used now that the election is over?
If that isn’t enough for serious concern? Mike Pompeo, chosen by President Donald Trump to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, has argued the CIA must have unrestricted powers to collect data online from ALL US citizens and foreigners.
Mike Pompeo’s roadmap for the Trumpistan security state: Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed. That includes Presidential Policy Directive-28, which bestows privacy rights on foreigners and imposes burdensome requirements to justify data collection.
Trump enjoys the concept of the law he will overturn, Roe v. Wade, (Trump taking credit) will be enabling the long-arm of HIS law to reach into every woman and girl in HIS country. Sort of a mass pussy-grab by proxy.
“this is going to roll you up.” And in doing so will destroy any progress that has been made since the Bush Republicans drove our country into the ground. Your tacit threat against those unlike you did not go unnoticed. How Trumpish of you. Getting over Trump involves educating mean little surrogates like you.
“new Republican Party” - Toadies for the 1% who will pay for their financial malfeasance by LOOTING OUR TREASURY. Say goodbye to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. If you are a senior and not 1% stake out a good spot under a bridge, somewhere or get ready to move in to your kin's attic or basement.
“American left-leaning population is an impediment to our work, IMHO.”
You share Trump’s views on WHAT LEFT?? There is NO “LEFT” remaining in American, per se. But there is a growing movement of •••clowns trying to take shelter from the pending Trump ••••storm coming from the EXTREME RIGHT. So, American RIGHT-leaning population is an impediment to our work, IMHO.
A normalization of Trumpistan is not possible in the real world, only in the diminished brains of his advocates and apologists.
E. Scott Pruitt is an attorney, not a scientist - has expressed doubt regarding the integrity and accuracy of established climate science, said the current EPA’s aggressive enforcement of federal anti-pollution rules during the Obama administration “reflects inappropriate overreach” that he would change. Meanwhile, the already made ineffective regulations by the secret Energy Task Force are contributing to the terraforming of our planet into a hot toxic cesspool of fossil fuel detritus at a record rate.
Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma Atty. Gen. E. Scott Pruitt is a bought-and-paid-for fossil fuel industry RENT-BOY! who prosecutes(prostitutes) in a state where rampant fracking wastewater injection is spawning frequent earthquakes with ever-increasing magnitudes. A 2015 report from the Oklahoma Geological Survey found a direct link between oil and gas mining and increased destruction and property damage from earthquakes, Pruitt has done nothing, even though as attorney general he is responsible for protecting Oklahomans property and safety. link to earthquakes.ok.gov
Pruitt sued the EPA to block enforcing rules limiting regional smog and airborne mercury pollution. He brazenly copy-and-pasted a letter from an oil company onto official state letterhead, added his signature, and mailed it to the agency he will soon be running. link to theatlantic.com
Professor Cole - We need the Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 for the Trump administration malfeasance they intend. They are already cavorting with Russia, AN ACTUAL ENEMY and actively stabbing at China with Trump surrogate U.S. Senator Cruz meeting with Taiwanese leadership in Houston, this January. link to chron.com
“The majority court opinion ruled that should an individual’s free speech present a ‘clear and present danger’ to others, the government could impose restrictions or penalties.” As the ego-maniacal unqualified new President takes over the Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 may come in handy when things soon get out of hand?
john - “Those supporters of Clinton who lost the election are starting to engaged in ‘coup’ like activities and are not willing to embrace the democratic process.” You have it precisely backwards.
The “coup” was from the ignorant, bigoted Trump supporters by way of a CEO-drenched Electoral College, a higher power media signal and some local voting machine rigging where no record of a vote is made available. Clinton won the popular vote by a significant margin. Embracing a horribly broken election process is impossible.
Your hope should be that no one in the UK pisses-off Trump because without full US support your tiny islands would be very vulnerable?
But reaching out to Trumpsters would entail joining a Gunsight Baptist Church, owning at least 17 guns, memorizing the local Walmart, knowing the way around the area trailer parks, shunning the dentist, subjecting oneself to local bullying to gain any dialog.
Trumpsters will only open-up to reason when Trump-driven policies and actions diminish their lives, personally, but most will likely blame Obama.
PEOTUS Trump will be an illegitimate President, selected by a CEO-drenched Electoral College contrary to the popular vote after bringing our national elections to a new low - “lock her up” and instruction on effective pussy-grabbing - Trump is a thin-skinned EMBARRASSMENT to us all.
PEOTUS biker-gangs, pussy-grabber, watersports is a blithering Twitter-spew of h8 and weaselwords. A President Trump will bounce around the world making “deals” in our name until the ROW discerns Trump is nothing but a Twitter-mouth •••clown and shines him on. Meanwhile, his kin and in-law whom WE DID NOT ELECT will fill his tiny shoes in a freshly fumigated press-free White House. Where a family of color once resided
The irony in this ••••show is the CCM in part created Trump, foisting his baggage to a false level of relevance and now are expected to keep him in check? FEAR of Trump will keep media in check. Donald Trump is a vindictive by remote-control cowardly bully and those who oppose him will certainly feel his wrath like removing the press from the White House.
Watersports is only considered “sex” by those who enjoy such behavior. To a normal person including urine in sex play is disgusting and only fit for a Trump. PISSING on or receiving micturition is not sex but PERVERSION. Get it Right.
PEOTUS watersports, pussy-grabber sounds like the National Treasure the Electoral CEO College gave us contrary to the popular vote. He won’t last long.
Professor Cole, the fossil-fuel industry has been behind every war of the late 20th Century into this century. With EXXON CEO Tillerson at State, the fossil fuel industry can make war up-front without “domino theories,” Al-Qaeda, WMDs or ISIS for excuses.
Trump’s well-documented mockery of a disabled person and his subsequent denial, clearly demonstrates the PEOTUS possesses a mind which resides in an alternate reality. Trump can be sent into a Twitter rage by a “second-rate actress,” when Meryl Streep spoke truth to power.
Fellow CEO Trump which the CEO-ridden Electoral College elected contrary to the popular vote is a deranged megalomaniac with no sense of reality. What pharmaceutical keeps someone up until 3AM to Twitter at adversaries?
Better ties with Russia is all well and good but those ties must not include a long-time foreign adversary directly interfering with our Presidential elections. The fact this happened is unfair to all U.S. citizens and those who work hard to make our national elections possible. We are not fools!
There have been far too many flaws with this election for it to be valid and the 2016 Presidential election must not stand.
I see a lot of frightened citizens attempting to come to grips with this American Election HORRORSHOW. Now is not the time to salve this over UNLESS YOU ARE VERY AFRAID OF TRUMPIST RETALIATION?
Dylann Roof claims to be a victim because he is subjected to the families of the nine innocents of color he blew away at very close range in a church where he was invited.
Roof behaves like he is striving for martyrdom? Something which should be avoided. There are a whole lot more soft-minded young men out there with a bad haircut waiting to act.
Bush/Cheney “cherry-picked” useful intelligence and rolled their own story to sell to Congress and corporate-owned and controlled media. You are correct - a murderous bunch of fossil-fuel tools ignored, even suppressed, accurate information (as you well know) to further their inept attempts to do what Trump wants to do, “take the oil as spoils of war.”
The centerpiece of H8ful tiny-minded campaign was “Building the wall for which Mexico will pay to have built.” Total bull •••• but the TINY MINDS went for it like a new iPhone release. Now, that promise has morphed into “Mexico will pay, EVENTUALLY.”
The Trump administration will need to invoke a wartime-style DRAFT to gain personnel sufficient to round up MILLIONS of people. Certain cities will fall under martial law during “round-up season.” East LA, El Monte, Austin, Houston, Plano to name a few “sanctuary cities.” Trump’s LIE OF OMISSION” is unparalleled in our history. And Mexico will NOT PAY, WE WILL in more ways than one.
There are insufficient numbers of National Guard, INS and local law enforcement to round-up, transport, store and feed millions of people prior to deportation to where and by what mode of transport? Has anyone in Trumpistan thought this through? Who is going to perform the work of those being deported? Trump supporters?
Professor - “Fascists believed in one-party government, sent armed thugs into the streets to beat up their opponents, and shut down all critical media.” - Give the Trump administration some time? All of the basic elements are in place. The title will be earned. Wait until the round-up of MILLIONS gets underway?
Another fascist tendency is controlling information. Aside from the fact corporate-controlled media (CCM) gave an obvious fascist side-show barker BILLION$$ in free coverage and exposure which got Trump elected. The twisted information as ranted via Twitter coupled with CCM “expert” analysis is a form of the “tail waging the dog” in information control via a neofascist CCM, another extension of the on-gong CEO coup d'état, an obvious putsch to completely remove the voices and needs of the average citizen from being heard by government and to run things to solely benefit themselves and their ilk.
“Normalization” is another word for propaganda which is "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view” available 24/7 via CCM.
Tom - “They will be unlikely to exhibit much patience with complex and nuanced policy in the region, not that his administration has given any clues about formulating such a thing.” Here’s a clue - Our President-elect has said repeatedly the United States should take Iraq's oil as the spoils of war.
If anyone thinks the real problem of income inequality will improve during a Trump administration is deaf and blind or simply insane. Veterans, seniors, the disabled and any person of even the slightest color will see their standard of living stolen by discrimination, fees, service charges, inflation of basic goods prices (an on-going problem,now), taxes and the privatization of the Veterans Administration. The eventual ELIMINATION of Medicare and Social Security morphed into the private sector to get their hands on the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds now held by the U.S. Treasury.
Yet, not one second will be given in an effort to repatriate the $4T held offshore in tax avoidance. $1T in unpaid taxes, approx.
Eric - The Bush White House manufactured the Saddam WMD fiction based on purposefully malinterpreted intel. A certain CIA analyst lost her job by differing with false Bush White House claims.
Attempting to rewrite history is not nice and less than mediocre.
"Does the scorched earth method of Obama creating crisis after crisis right before Trump takes office benefit the American people?" - Get a grip! Seriously.
The U.S. firearms industry employs more workers than the U.S. automotive industry as most firearms are assembled by humans, not robots. And a correction - total U.S. guns is 347 million roughly only one for every man, woman and child in the U.S. not two as commented. You are correct about % of gun ownership "super owners”or firearms hoarders aka “gun nuts” are primarily male—some 7.7 million very insecure regarding their masculinity American males—own between 8 and 140 guns apiece, 17 on average or about 130 million firearms. So much shortness in America.

Now that the maladministration has botched their first military action, President Vain Glorious will be double intent to prove he’s a “winner.” Besides, 45 has the Bush/Cheney brown-people body count to exceed to make America great, again.
Apparently, a female U.S. Senator reading actual history to the Senate will get that woman censored and told to “stand outside” for reading words of truth. Those words of truth being written by a woman of color regarding a RACIST, old man who has been annointed to be our Attorney General.
Jeff Sessions is a RACIST DEFECTIVE who has no business on any Cabinet. (45 loves his defectives, they provide cover for his many obvious defects.)
Here is a clear lesson from the Pence/McConnell Senate and our demented maladministration, - Women and those of color - STAND OUTSIDE! for at least for the next 1,442 days. Racism and misogyny in plain sight is now Senate policy.
Which proves absolutely NOTHING except being about you.
In a state of CCM quietude are the “Trump-Russia scandals” and POTUS tax records.
Rich - the only “holy war” of real concern is the on-going power grab by the Seven Mountains Mandate Dominionists. The seven mountain mandate aka the “seven mountain prophecy” is a faux-Christian political movement which gained a following in large screen Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. Those who follow the seven mountain mandate believe, in order for Christ to return to earth, the Dominionists must take complete control of the seven major spheres of influence in society for the glory of Christ. Once the world has been made subject to the kingdom of God, Jesus will return and rule the world. Dominionists are intent on controlling our:
1) Education
2) Religion
3) Family
4) Business
5) Government/Military
6) Arts/Entertainment
7) Media
How many maladministration and Cabinet members are part of the faux-Christian political movement? Start with Vice President Mike Pence and go from there.
The new White House which includes Herr Bannon amounts to a slow-motion Coup D’ete attempt. 45 is attempting to include “Turn on the Hate” Bannon in the reshuffled the National Security Council.

For a Coup D’ete attempt to be successful, the rank and file of the local police and uniform military must be willing to take orders from the new government leaders once the coup is underway.
The maladministration Criminal Mexican and Radical Islamic Terrorist Make America Great Defense Taskforce will serve that purpose here in the U.S., real soon.

quoting super390 - “It was apparent all through the campaign that Trump had no concept how power is shared between the branches of government.”
45 knew full and well how authority is shared between branches but he and his advisors do not share that concept. They want it all.
Notice the dingbat POTUS often transposes the word “country” when he means himself, e.g.:
“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
or
“The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”

The second tweet amounts to direct criminal contempt as criminal contempt is generally regarded as a disobedient or open disrespect for the court. Contempt takes the form of actions that are seen as detrimental to the court's ability to administer justice. Posting the crime on Twitter makes this direct criminal contempt, a jail-able offense.
Bannon's influence is destroying our country. He is an enemy exceeding that of ISIS/DAESH.

Defeating ISIS (January 28) a thinly-veiled Declaration for War
This MEMORANDUM instructs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to construct a plan to defeat ISIS and submit that plan to the president within 30 days. The plan must include a comprehensive strategy for defeating ISIS, changes to the rules of engagement, strategies to de-legitimize “radical Islamist ideology,” a plan for cutting off ISIS’ financial support and identification of new partners for the fight against the terrorist organization.
President Vain Glorious Enlarged-Prostate (why he is up at 3 AM) fully intends to go to war in Mesopotamia and soon. The last time the U.S. went to war for oil, the effort killed 4,267 loyal and trusting troops and maimed 30,182, link to globalsecurity.org killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians, link to watson.brown.edu displacing MILLIONS and utterly destabilizing the region for decades yet to come.
Now that the black-mailing fossil-fuel industry has total control of our government, ANY oil producing country who angers 45 could get sacked for their natural resources? Mexico and Venezuela come to mind. And a lot closer than Mosul.
Fortunately, some state universities still offer “Education Abroad Programs” allowing students to live abroad while attending a university there.
Howard Stern who has known 45 for decades as fellow “pussy grabbers” and woman debaser link to buzzfeed.com said that he believes the presidency will be "detrimental" to the mental health of his old friend Donald Trump — because he just wants to be loved. link to nbcnews.com
Stern firmly believes that Trump's whole presidential bid just started as a lark so that he could get more money out of NBC when he renegotiated his contract for the Apprentice television show.
"I think it started as kind of a cool, fun thing to do to get a couple more bucks out of NBC for the Apprentice. I actually do believe that."
"And that's why Donald is calling for voter fraud investigation. He's pi--ed he won!" said Stern. "He's hoping he can find some voter fraud and hand it over to Hillary!"
The best “fake news” of this weekend, hands-down.
45 loves defectives. Obviously, there is something seriously wrong with this woman. She is not the only one. If a knowing madman surrounds himself with defectives, he doesn’t appear so dangerously defective himself.
" As president, Eisenhower not only spoke out against the dangers of the military-industrial complex but also stressed that America’s power is ultimately rooted in the strength of its economy and the health of its citizens, not in seeking magical military solutions or in overspending on the Pentagon. Unfortunately, Donald Trump is no Dwight D. Eisenhower."
President Eisenhower was the last actual Republican President.
Junius, get a grip! It is highly doubtful that Professor Cole nor Barrack Obama or any New England Government Yankee has ever had you in mind.

“The bottom line is attacking Iran is a fools errand.” Which is precisely why he will do it, the new POTUS is Bannon’s fool.
Upon entering WWII the Selective Service Act (SSA) required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. The oldest actually conscripted was 45 years-old, a doctor. During a tactical nuclear exchange military and support personnel die or become contaminated in great numbers requiring many replacements.
super390 -There is no better way to keep a discontented population in line than a pointless war and a general conscription,
History is an irrelevant source as an analog for this on-going coup.
Not only Iran has been put “on notice” but now there is this - Quoting 45 at the National Prayer Meeting where he promised the obliterate the boundary between church and state. Adding this - ”the world is in trouble, but ‘we're’ going to straighten it out." . . . . . Will someone please throw a net over this guy?

45s military experience amounts to scowling looks during real estate and casino meetings. His dangerous INCOMPETENCE has already cost the life of U.S. Navy Seal William "Ryan" Owens and a number of little children. The U.S. military is looking into whether more little children were slaughtered during the weekend raid on al Qaeda in Yemen. Kin of those 14 “militants” killed. 45 wants to confirm his campaign pledge to kill families (women an children) of militants.

Quoting Junius Daniel -2/2/17 09:15
“I live in a land whose history is that our forefathers did not ‘immigrate here’, but, came here, forcefully took it from the Indians, settled it; . . . “ basically, immigrants murdering native Americans for their land.
“We, Tarheels, have our own world; and, thus, are in need of neither additions to fulfill us, perpetuate us, nor to ‘remain competitive’.” The inbreeding in “our own world” has long been having an effect.

Fortunately, Junius, you write on behalf of a small, angry, RACIST portion of the good people of North Carolina who “have their own world.”
Quoting Professor Cole - “Ironically, it is white nationalists, with their hatred of foreigners and who are endangering American competitiveness in the new century.” And not all that is being “endangered.”
When it comes to immigration, attitudes like the one posted here - IS the problem because it empowers an egomaniac, nut-case in our White House to act on the ignorant, threatening xenophobia of a few.
Dr. Ip - Really nice work here especially regarding framing and manipulated distractions.
The tool “Criminalization” from “Lock her up” to just days after 45 spoke of a “running war’’ with the press, when Herr Bannon directed the media to 'Keep Its Mouth Shut.’ a less than tacit warning to journalists, everywhere.

The “Criminalization” of anyone who dares to even question 45 and his toadies is inevitable and will soon escalate from ”framing” to a more direct approach.
By years end, the Deportation Army will be pounding on doors searching for brown skin “criminals” and making a recorded pledge of allegiance to 45 from white people. Demanding loyalty is nothing new.

To man his highly touted deportation force aka “door-kickers,” President Donald J.Trump is reviving an old depreciated Bush/Cheney program that deputizes local city police officers to enforce federal immigration law and assure the loyalty of citizens.
Also in his odious executive order this week, Trump said he wants to empower local law enforcement to act as his immigration police and augment the nationwide ”investigation, apprehension, or detention" of immigrants and those who support them while in the country illegally.

Trump should receive "enhanced interrogation" to motivate him to release his taxes?
Here’s a scary perspective from an expert on the subject. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned Friday that "it all looks as if the world is preparing for war." adding "Politicians and military leaders sound increasingly belligerent and defense doctrines more dangerous. Commentators and TV personalities are joining the bellicose chorus. It all looks as if the world is preparing for war."
Gorbachev oversaw the agreement with the U.S. to reduce their nuclear arsenals. President Donald Trump, however, has suggested bolstering the number of such WMDs at his disposal, something that would reverse decades of American policy.
And Donald J. Trump can’t wait to light off his first nuke.
Quoting Vincente Fox Quesada - “Today we turn into an era of uncertainty. If Donald the Unready doesn't learn to behave, the rest of the world needs to come together.” - Which is precisely what happened the last time a fascist ultra-nationalistic country led by a egomaniac psychopath menaced the world.

The product to be delivered from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf Coast in Texas is diluted bitumen or dilbit which contains so little crude oil that the Texas Railroad Commission does not consider dilbit to be taxable as a petroleum product. As dilbit contains some hydrocarbons at extreme ends of the viscosity range, the material can be more difficult to process than typical crude oil and leaves megatons of refinery waste called “petcoke” which is sold to poorer countries as the dirtiest fuel source known to man. Petcoke is atmospheric poison in it’s purest form. The EPA has banned it’s use within the U.S. except as raw material to process for use in the manufacture of explosives.
Dilbit must be diluted with toxic solvents and heated to transport, the highest pipe temperature is expected to remain below 120° for dilbit to flow through a pipeline which makes operation of the pipeline very ENERGY INTENSIVE (who pays for that?). The tar sands bitumen is basically asphalt in consistency.

E. Scott Pruitt is an attorney, not a scientist - has expressed doubt regarding the integrity and accuracy of established climate science, said the current EPA’s aggressive enforcement of federal anti-pollution rules during the Obama administration “reflects inappropriate overreach” that he would change. Meanwhile, the already made ineffective regulations by the secret Energy Task Force are contributing to the terraforming of our planet into a hot toxic cesspool of fossil fuel detritus at a record rate.
Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma Atty. Gen. E. Scott Pruitt is a bought-and-paid-for fossil fuel industry RENT-BOY! who prosecutes(prostitutes) in a state where rampant fracking wastewater injection is spawning frequent earthquakes with ever-increasing magnitudes. A 2015 report from the Oklahoma Geological Survey found a direct link between oil and gas mining and increased destruction and property damage from earthquakes, Pruitt has done nothing, even though as attorney general he is responsible for protecting Oklahomans property and safety. link to earthquakes.ok.gov

Professor Cole - We need the Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 for the Trump administration malfeasance they intend.

john - “Those supporters of Clinton who lost the election are starting to engaged in ‘coup’ like activities and are not willing to embrace the democratic process.” You have it precisely backwards.
The “coup” was from the ignorant, bigoted Trump supporters by way of a CEO-drenched Electoral College, a higher power media signal and some local voting machine rigging where no record of a vote is made available. Clinton won the popular vote by a significant margin. Embracing a horribly broken election process is impossible.
Your hope should be that no one in the UK pisses-off Trump because without full US support your tiny islands would be very vulnerable?
Trump is nothing but a rich, cowardly, thin-skinned PUNK who will have our nuclear codes and the fate of our offspring in his tiny little hands.
But reaching out to Trumpsters would entail joining a Gunsight Baptist Church, owning at least 17 guns, memorizing the local Walmart, knowing the way around the area trailer parks, shunning the dentist, subjecting oneself to local bullying to gain any dialog.
Trumpsters will only open-up to reason when Trump-driven policies and actions diminish their lives, personally, but most will likely blame Obama.
PEOTUS Trump will be an illegitimate President, selected by a CEO-drenched Electoral College contrary to the popular vote after bringing our national elections to a new low - “lock her up” and instruction on effective pussy-grabbing - Trump is a thin-skinned EMBARRASSMENT to us all.
PEOTUS biker-gangs, pussy-grabber, watersports is a blithering Twitter-spew of h8 and weaselwords. A President Trump will bounce around the world making “deals” in our name until the ROW discerns Trump is nothing but a Twitter-mouth •••clown and shines him on. Meanwhile, his kin and in-law whom WE DID NOT ELECT will fill his tiny shoes in a freshly fumigated press-free White House. Where a family of color once resided
Non-violent resistance will become utterly futile once the multi-purpose “Deportation Militia” is formed.
The irony in this ••••show is the CCM in part created Trump, foisting his baggage to a false level of relevance and now are expected to keep him in check? FEAR of Trump will keep media in check. Donald Trump is a vindictive by remote-control cowardly bully and those who oppose him will certainly feel his wrath like removing the press from the White House.
Moving the U.S . Embassy to Jerusalem is the same kind of ••••move that brought us the Khobar Towers and 9/11.
Watersports is only considered “sex” by those who enjoy such behavior. To a normal person including urine in sex play is disgusting and only fit for a Trump. PISSING on or receiving micturition is not sex but PERVERSION. Get it Right.
PEOTUS watersports, pussy-grabber sounds like the National Treasure the Electoral CEO College gave us contrary to the popular vote. He won’t last long.
Professor Cole, the fossil-fuel industry has been behind every war of the late 20th Century into this century. With EXXON CEO Tillerson at State, the fossil fuel industry can make war up-front without “domino theories,” Al-Qaeda, WMDs or ISIS for excuses.
Trump’s well-documented mockery of a disabled person and his subsequent denial, clearly demonstrates the PEOTUS possesses a mind which resides in an alternate reality. Trump can be sent into a Twitter rage by a “second-rate actress,” when Meryl Streep spoke truth to power.
Fellow CEO Trump which the CEO-ridden Electoral College elected contrary to the popular vote is a deranged megalomaniac with no sense of reality. What pharmaceutical keeps someone up until 3AM to Twitter at adversaries?
The 1% of wealth in this country is a "tribe." Unknown to you perhaps because you have never met a member of that tribe?

Bush/Cheney “cherry-picked” useful intelligence and rolled their own story to sell to Congress and corporate-owned and controlled media. You are correct - a murderous bunch of fossil-fuel tools ignored, even suppressed, accurate information (as you well know) to further their inept attempts to do what Trump wants to do, “take the oil as spoils of war.”
The States of Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado currently have laws which ban the banning of fracking by cities and local governments.
The centerpiece of H8ful tiny-minded campaign was “Building the wall for which Mexico will pay to have built.” Total bull •••• but the TINY MINDS went for it like a new iPhone release. Now, that promise has morphed into “Mexico will pay, EVENTUALLY.”
The Trump administration will need to invoke a wartime-style DRAFT to gain personnel sufficient to round up MILLIONS of people. Certain cities will fall under martial law during “round-up season.” East LA, El Monte, Austin, Houston, Plano to name a few “sanctuary cities.” Trump’s LIE OF OMISSION” is unparalleled in our history. And Mexico will NOT PAY, WE WILL in more ways than one.
There are insufficient numbers of National Guard, INS and local law enforcement to round-up, transport, store and feed millions of people prior to deportation to where and by what mode of transport? Has anyone in Trumpistan thought this through? Who is going to perform the work of those being deported? Trump supporters?
Trump’s 1%ers will pay for this, right?
Putin clearly OWNS PEOTUS Trump.
Professor - “Fascists believed in one-party government, sent armed thugs into the streets to beat up their opponents, and shut down all critical media.” - Give the Trump administration some time? All of the basic elements are in place. The title will be earned. Wait until the round-up of MILLIONS gets underway?
Brian - A "but-but-but Clinton" worthy of Limbaugh himself, congrats.
Trump won because of stupid citizens NOT voting or voting their h8.
Another fascist tendency is controlling information. Aside from the fact corporate-controlled media (CCM) gave an obvious fascist side-show barker BILLION$$ in free coverage and exposure which got Trump elected. The twisted information as ranted via Twitter coupled with CCM “expert” analysis is a form of the “tail waging the dog” in information control via a neofascist CCM, another extension of the on-gong CEO coup d'état, an obvious putsch to completely remove the voices and needs of the average citizen from being heard by government and to run things to solely benefit themselves and their ilk.
“Normalization” is another word for propaganda which is "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view” available 24/7 via CCM.
It’s not s lie if Trump says it. It’s not a law if Trump breaks it. So many stupid Americans, ready for picking.
Tom - “They will be unlikely to exhibit much patience with complex and nuanced policy in the region, not that his administration has given any clues about formulating such a thing.” Here’s a clue - Our President-elect has said repeatedly the United States should take Iraq's oil as the spoils of war.
If anyone thinks the real problem of income inequality will improve during a Trump administration is deaf and blind or simply insane. Veterans, seniors, the disabled and any person of even the slightest color will see their standard of living stolen by discrimination, fees, service charges, inflation of basic goods prices (an on-going problem,now), taxes and the privatization of the Veterans Administration. The eventual ELIMINATION of Medicare and Social Security morphed into the private sector to get their hands on the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds now held by the U.S. Treasury.
Yet, not one second will be given in an effort to repatriate the $4T held offshore in tax avoidance. $1T in unpaid taxes, approx.
Trump only welcomes billionaires to his Cabinet because he mistakes being anal-retentive with success.
