Time to get on the TRUMP train

[sonatine]

Hillary got _destroyed_ over that bill btw in 2005. Im not sure why trotting out her support now makes it any less grotesque a law, especially since the original 2005 bill was designed, literally, to make it an offense to provoke people prone to violence by burning a flag in front of them (...jesus christ......).

Trump, in a way that only a life long amphetamine addict and bumbling halfwit can, has distilled the luridly retarded core of the 2005 bill into a blanket ban on free expression with absolutely no awareness of or consideration to the original bills intent.

"We await the crisis. It could be economic. It could be a terrorist attack within the United States. It could be widespread devastation caused by global warming. It could be nationwide unrest as the death spiral of the American empire intensifies. It could be another defeat in our endless and futile wars. The crisis is coming. And when it arrives it will be seized upon by the corporate state, nominally led by a clueless real estate developer, to impose martial law and formalize the end of American democracy.

When we look back on this sad, pathetic period in American history we will ask the questions all who have slid into despotism ask. Why were we asleep? How did we allow this to happen? Why didn’t we see it coming? Why didn’t we resist?

Why did we allow the corporate state to strip away the rights of poor people of color and force them to live in terror in mini-police states? Why did we build the world’s largest system of mass incarceration? Did we not see that the rest of us would be next? Why did we agree that those defined by the state as terrorists could not only be deprived of their rights but be assassinated? Did we think the state would restrict itself to persecuting and murdering Muslims? Why did we remain silent as the state arrogated to itself the right to detain and prosecute people not for what they had done, or even for what they were planning to do, but for holding religious or political beliefs that the state deemed seditious? Why did we stand by and permit the state to torture? Did we not see that once rights became privileges the state would one day revoke them?

The failure of our capitalist democracy was collective. It was bred by ignorance, indifference, racism, bigotry and the seduction of mass propaganda. It was bred by elites, especially in the press, the courts and academia, who chose careerism over moral and intellectual courage. Our rights as citizens were taken from us one by one. There was hardly a word of protest.

Where were the lawyers, judges, law professors and law school deans who should have ferociously defended our rights to privacy, due process and habeas corpus? Why didn’t they challenge Barack Obama’s signing into law Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act? Section 1021 overturns the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibited the military from acting as a domestic police force. The section also permits the military to carry out extraordinary rendition of U.S. citizens, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military detention centers.

Why didn’t the legal profession fight against the Obama administration’s misinterpretation of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act as giving the executive branch the right to order the assassination of U.S. citizens? How did lawyers and judges allow the misuse of the Espionage Act to target and imprison whistleblowers? How did they permit the Supreme Court to define unlimited corporate contributions to electoral campaigns as a right to petition the government or a form of free speech? Why did they allow those branded as terrorists by the state, and allow poor people of color, to be locked for years in solitary confinement or special detention centers without fair trials? Why were they silent as the state built “black sites” around the globe, including in Chicago, to torture? Why did they permit the state to impose special administrative measures, known as SAMs, to prevent or severely restrict prisoners’ communication with other prisoners, attorneys, family, the media and people outside the jails, crippling any possibility of an adequate defense? Did they not know where the erosion of the legal system would lead?

And where were all the economists pointing out the absurdity of the neoliberal ideology that told us that human society should be governed by the dictates of the market—that is, until the market collapsed in an orgy of fraud and corruption and needed the government to bail it out? Why did the political scientists chase after “value-free” data, carry out quantitative projects and seek an unachievable scientific clarity? Why didn’t they and others warn us about the dire consequences of eroding democratic institutions? Why did they stand mute as money replaced the vote and lobbyists authored our laws? Where were they when constitutionally protected statements, beliefs and associations were criminalized? Why didn’t they protest when dissidents, even those who broke no laws, were stripped of their rights and imprisoned without due process? Why did they continue to speak and write as if the fiction of our democracy was real? Why didn’t they illuminate our constitutional crisis? Why did those in academia commit intellectual treason? They traded their intellectual integrity and autonomy for tenure, publishing contracts, lecture fees, research grants and coveted deanships or college presidencies.

Why did the press render the poor and the working poor invisible? Why did it walk away from its role as the investigator of corruption and abuse of power? Why did it become a courtier to the elites? Why did it measure the success of its broadcasts and publications solely by the profits produced? Why did it refuse to give a platform to critics of corporate capitalism and imperial war? Why did it serve as an echo chamber for the arms industry and Wall Street? Why did it hide behind the fiction of neutrality and objectivity? Why did it debase reporting to quoting establishment experts—most of whom lied—in order to stay within the narrow confines of opinion sanctioned by the power elites? Why did the press obscure the truth?".... more in link

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs partner and current Hollywood financier responsible for the backing of films such as “American Sniper,” “Suicide Squad,” and “Entourage” as U.S. Treasury Secretary.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Mnuchin, who served as Trump’s national finance chairman during his campaign, has no government experience.

Ironic that the majority of public and private union members voted for Trump. If I recall it was in the neighborhood of 60%

Considering our divided political landscape, I'll go out on a limb here and call that a decisive endorsement from the unions

:themoreyouknow

[big dick]

Any union memeber that votes republican is a dipshit.

Carrier Air Conditioning staying in the United States

Thank you PRESIDENT TRUMP

[big dick]

That's great news.. hard not to get behind the guy is he is doing things like that.

My problem is mainly with the gop as you probably know. The Scott Walkers of the world are a huge problem for union members.

[thesidedish]

My god toaster oven is a loser

In the end, there is no way a guy like you will be tasting victory. I have seen enough shit with my own eyes to know that is a fact.

Jill Stein and her clown circus sued to have Wisconsin ballots counted by hand, because somehow to her, that was the only way to do it properly.

They had and presented ZERO evidence of any possible tampering, hacking, manipulation etc

If the hand count was set forth, it would have had to be completed by the 12th, which is nearly impossible given the amount of ballots

The ONLY reason this thread is still active, is because a bunch of fucking whiners lost on Hillary. You bitches can keep this thread going for the next 4 or 8 years. I think its hilarious your endless tilt.

Keep bumping this thread, you look like total and monumental bitches.

And by the way, you just did not lose the Presidency, you were bitched slapped in the Congress, Governorships and State Legislatures. It was a huge landslide. So LOL.

HILLARY LOST BIG LEAGUE

Funniest thing about Carrier. Ok so Syracuse plays in the Carrier dome.

The Carrier Dome is not air conditioned.

Also it seems Tyde is a GLPer. That used to be the most amazing site on the internet. Now it's 99 percent Trump crap. I really have to find out where you pinkos hang out. I can't deal with this site anymore.

Ha ha that is a good question with Trump being a teetotaler and Romney being a Mormon. Maybe Tyde is the hidden hand on the other side of the table.

Edit:

Also I don't believe Trump will offer Mitt anything to do with this administration. That would make things way way to obvious to most anyone. Wouldn't it??? It's not the Trump style to say no in the pussy ass phone call way. It wouldn't fit his persona.

[sonatine]

The dinner with Romney feels less like a serious feeling out for the SoS position, and more an opportunity to compel Romney to walk back his criticisms before Trump taps in Rudy Giuliani.

He gotta quit.

I have a tough time who Trump people like and dislike. You can't honestly tell me Trump people like Rudy G? right?

Building 7 sheeple!!!

[Henry]

Rudy G is literally going to head the Department of State.

May God have mercy on the United States of America.
