Holy shit. How does he find these people? Does he go "hmm let's find the worst people in the nation and make them responsible for running the place". This needs to be shown to everybody just so they can see how monstrous Trumps team is.

You think he's the one making the calls? That's hilarious. This is Bannon and Pence.

[–]Captainshithead 84ポイント85ポイント  (1子コメント)

Every single pick is someone that supported him early in the race. So yeah, pretty much the worst.

I think what's happening is that everyone who is even a half-decent human being wants nothing to do with his administration. So he has to choose scum. And the more scum he choose, the less even those people want to be part of it. So he ends up with the deepest yuckiest part of the swamp.

Basically he drained the swamp so he could get to all the gunk on the bottom. I guess this is what make MAGA means lol

Well, a lot of these were people who endorsed him early in the primary.

And of course, the only Republicans who endorsed Trump early in the primary, when everyone else thought he was going to lose, were the racist, bigots, and fascists who really liked what he stood for...

I always make an effort to appreciate diversity in opinions. I keep telling myself that the 59m people who voted for Trump must have seen something in him that I don't.

But it is completely beyond my grasp how anyone of these 59m can look at Trump's actions even only since Nov 9 and doesn't go like "what the fuck have we done?"

How can anyone look at this cabinet member list, which looks as if they tried to deliberately find the worst possible fuck-up cast for each role, and not start crying for what will become of America?

And that's even before Trump actually takes office. We're fucked. Bigly.

If this is what Draining the Swamp is, I don't want to know what filling it up would be...

I was trying to make a ranking from worst to best but I honestly can't tell which is worse. They all seem equally bad.

Bannon is almost certainly the worst, but that does not excuse the others from being miserable sacks of shit.

[–]heyguysitslogan 75ポイント76ポイント  (6子コメント)

Idk dude robbing children of 266 good teachers, stealing their pensions, and then calling the fired teachers violent pedophiles is truly one of the most disgusting things I've read about someone doing

[–]LtCdrWharfSkaven 41ポイント42ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's disgusting, again they are all pretty much sacks of shit, but I think Bannon is the most dangerous. By giving him a government office legitimacy is lent to white nationalism. In turn, the racist goons will likely feel validated if the government condones such a thing. White Nationalism and hate crimes go together like snakes and planes.

Myron Ebell is the worst just because he is in a position which can seriously fuck up the whole world. At least China seems to want to lead on environmental issues. I hope every other country just ignores US for the next 4 years.

He's a real piece of work.

An anti-intellectual "intellectual" who gets away with being a climate change denier because he "admits" he's not a trained expert in what he's talking about and says he just provides "the layman's perspective", but dodges around actual intellectual debate with smarmy retorts. Occasionally he gets propped up by the right-wing as a climate change debate intellectual and a "scientist" who's skeptical of climate change even though he's never worked as a scientist and doesn't have an education in the sciences.

Meanwhile the media's need for debates to be even-keeled and present both sides as being valid gives him far more attention than he ever deserved.

He excuses his own lack of scientific education and experience by saying he's just speaking for the layman but then is allowed to question the experience and knowledge of real scientists. He is apparently unaware that physicists and oceanographers and engineers in marine systems do have relevant knowledge and experience that is transferable to discussion of climate change, and that they are infinitely more qualified than he is to speak about the subject.

[–]rant_casey 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ebell's appointment is an even bigger "fuck you" than abolishing the EPA would have been. It's like appointing Ken Ham director of the USGS (and considering that Palin's name has been thrown around for secretary of the interior, let's not rule that out).

That was really the thing that puzzled me the most. I spent a solid hour trying to find some type of motive or justification for why out of all the issues in the world a billionaire could spend money on. They would spend money on this but I really am still baffled.

One thing of note I did find was that Forrest Lucas produced a low budget propaganda movie called "The Dog Lover" that was one of those "So bad it's good" type films about some nice Christians who run a puppy mill so that children around the world can be able to go into pet stores and buy new best friends until an group of commie vegan athiest animal rights activists and evil government police try and shut them down because they hate freedom.

I guarantee you someone that says "We can do anything we want with our property (meaning pets)" is also someone who considers women to be property of their husbands.

[–]GeckoRoamin 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

That was my first thought, too. This type of person - and as someone who went to an Christian extremist high school, I've come across a few - believes that women and children and pets should generally be treated with the same approach because they were all put under his dominion by God. That approach is usually not a kind one. Many of these types see no problem with physical "punishment" (abuse) of their kids or their wives, so it wouldn't surprise me if pets fell under that, too.

I'm sure Trump nominating a guy who compares himself to Satan would play well with evangelicals.

[–]NigmaNoname 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

I can't speak for other animals but it's really hard to hate dogs. They're unbelievably loyal, love you unconditionally and are just generally the best thing ever no matter how shitty their owner is.

Look at it this way, even if you are the most evil nazi in the world, a dog will still love you.

[–]EverySingleImage 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

I really hate to find myself in the position of defending Nazis--it's always a good idea to re-examine your life choices up to this point when you do find yourself in said position--but I have to say if that is true (which I am not sure of--I know they banned vivisection and other experiments on animals), does that really prove they were anti-animal rights, or just suggest that they thought it was better to test drugs on animals before people? Which we do today as well.

Of course, to a Nazi, "people" would not include Jews, the disabled, gays, etc. who they would consider even more expendable than dogs. And they did indeed perform horrible experiments on these people. But it is also a fact that Hitler was a vegetarian who was bothered by the suffering of animals. It's one of those things that's not really congruous with what we expect, what with all those tales we hear of psychopaths and serial killers relishing in the torture of animals, but it's true. It's all too easy to fall into the trap of dismissing someone like Hitler as simply an inhuman monster, but that is not the case. Believe it or not, he did have a soft side. If you ignore this human element and think of Hitler and the Nazis as nothing more than cartoon villains, you risk believing that what happened in Germany could never happen today to your people. And that's how you get Trump.

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than ‘politics,’” wrote Shulman, whose mother Elizabeth was born in Munich in 1934 and grew up in Nazi Germany. “They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

Oh anger may be part of it. I personally have been in love with Keith Olbermann's 'Fuck you, i'm mad!' approach, and it's been the cause of most of my laughing fits lately. I don't know why, because it's supposed to be aggravating and depressing, but i just can't stop laughing when I hear 'A lie! Another lie! Another fucking trump lie!'

Maybe it's because all the time i spent on /a/ made shared sadness funny.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has the name of the president of the confederacy, the middle name of a confederate general, called a white civil rights attorney "a race traitor," called a black subordinate "boy," and attempted to prosecute a colleague of Martin Luther King Jr for the "crime" of trying to help elderly black people vote absentee. He was considered too racist in 1986 to hold a judgeship.

That's the guy who's going to be the person in charge of enforcing American laws for the next four years. White people have fucked black America over again.. hard.

[–]BootyBoots2 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Here's what I think about them: they're not Deplorables, but they need to create complicated series of hoops to not address the elephant in the room, so they start consuming propaganda to satisfy that need (because, in their moral system, if they support fascist, then they're fascist themselves; even if they're not).

Every time we make fun of them for not listening to facts, they consume more propaganda to shield themselves from inner criticism, thus repeating the vicious circle; worse yet, it progresses from fear to hate, and now they're trying to turn those disenfranchised single-issue economical voters into full-on deplorables by legitimizing the indefensible and then reinforcing hatred.

That's the reason why Stormfront and r/altright hide behind seemingly innocuous or positively charged words like "race realism (hey, who doesn't like being an intelligent, head-on-the-ground realist?)", but r/european dealt in terms of "rapefugees" and "sand niggers". The brain needs to progress gradually for beliefs to sink in and we cannot afford to lose those malleable ones any longer.

You are going to spend time with your family and you can talk to them in any way you want, but I would like to politely ask you to not shove more evidence down their throats: this election has been draining enough and they know exactly who they voted for, it's just that now they're desperately clinging on their frustration about the seemingly corrupt system as their only moral scapegoat.

Don't confront them and don't guilt them, when the garbage stinks so much it's unbearable they'll need all the support they can get and you will be there to drag them to our side. Please be patient, the Republicans did it and now they're reaping the rewards.

I already made a post about this, but it looks like it's being brigaded, I'll just copy it over here.

I'm not going to hash over why Jeff Sessions is bad news. If you frequent here, you already know (and if you don't, check out the Cabinet picks sticky at the top of the sub).

I've seen a lot of backlash, a lot of words, a ton of fear and anxiety and even more anger at the kind of people Trump is throwing at us.

Right now, however, we need to take action.

CLICK HERE for list of Senate contacts and tell your senator that you DO NOT want Jeff Sessions as Attorney General.

Be firm. Be brief. Make it clear that this person (or these people) cannot represent us.

Thank you.

P.S. This goes for Bannon as well, and any other appointment you find reprehensible (most likely all of them). Let it be known. Fly.

Already have, as well as my neighboring congressman asking him to run against her when the Senate primaries roll around in 2018 (Sinema is the presumed challenger to our current GOP Senator, Jeff Flake). Shared the number with like-minded friends as well.

Now I sit and wait to see how much of a "Blue Dog" she is.

Do you think this selection will push many supporters away from Trump? They expected him to drain the swamp, this is basically the opposite of that.

[–]Come_and_See_ 61ポイント62ポイント  (8子コメント)

That would imply his supporters are even remotely capable of finding fault with him. If there was gonna be any sort of turning of the tide with his supporters, I'd think it would've happened a long time ago. The delusion is real.

[–]plazmablu 17ポイント18ポイント  (7子コメント)

His inevitable failure as president should shatter a few minds, hopefully.

Bush was an an amiable dunce and I can't recall this country voting a president out of power with a war on. (LBJ refused to run in the end, he was not voted out.)

[–]pissedoffpig 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

GWB didn't appoint insane, openly bigoted, wife-beating, animal-abusing people to his cabinet, though.

[–]WampaStompa33 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

He will guaranteed blame someone else for his failures and/or deny obvious facts that prove he is a failure. His supporters will believe he was the best president ever, even if he ruins everything.

[–]BootyBoots2 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm afraid that won't happen. If my perception is correct, voting in the US means "taking a stand", so if he commits horrible acts of inhumanity or at least incompetence, people will find a way to dismiss all evidence because voting for him meant morally identifying themselves with Trump and everything he stands for; if he's a war criminal, that would make them war criminals as well , and people can simply not tolerate that.

That's the reason why weheraboos exist.

They are literally saying that all these negative claims about them are lies by the MSM. Trump + all these people could go on stage on live TV and say "yes we really do hate the niggers and faggots " and they'll just handwave it away by saying Hillary Clinton has all their families at gunpoint.

Eric Bolling from Fox News is reportedly being considered for a role in the Commerce Department. On the one hand, it would be nice to not hear anything from this doofus for the next few years (at least). On the other, it's still more proof that Trumpy is determined to form a government that includes the absolute worst people he can find. Can't wait!

Secretary of Education:

Michelle Rhee (Owner of a multi-billion dollar Charter school lobbying group)

This seems like a big one that is being over looked given Trump's plan to hand out vouchers. Draining the swamps? More like draining those tax dollar away from education and in the hands of private business.

As someone who went to school under Michelle Rhee, as soon as I heard she was under consideration I knew she would be chosen.

Something to note is that one of her conditions when she was hired on in DC was that the mayor abolish the democratically elected school board. So I suspect she will get along great with Trump's authoritarianism.
