Donald Trump makes 'extreme right' Stephen Bannon his chief strategist
The President-elect hires a talk show host accused of supporting a movement of "white nationalists" and "unabashed anti-Semites".

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.
Former Goldman Sachs banker Mr Bannon holds a Masters in National Security Studies and an MBA from Harvard Business School, and he was an officer in the US Navy before joining Breitbart, where he hosted a radio show on its SiriusXM Patriot channel.
Mr Trump has also recruited the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, to be his White House chief of staff, signalling a willingness to work with Congress to advance his agenda when he takes office in January.
Mr Priebus is a Republican Party operative with deep expertise of the Washington establishment that Mr Trump has vowed to shake up, and has close links with House Speaker Paul Ryan.
:: Trump firm on agenda but says there's nothing to fear
Mr Priebus will play a significant role in policy making and deciding what information makes it to Mr Trump's desk.
His appointment is seen as an olive branch to the Republicans who control both houses of Congress, to help Mr Trump pass the legislative agenda upon which he campaigned.
"I am very grateful to the president-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism," Mr Priebus said.
Commentators expect Mr Trump to consider Republican loyalist Newt Gingrich and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani for the posts of secretary of state and attorney general, while Sarah Palin is also being touted as a candidate for a role in his government.
America's Anti-Defamation League, which campaigns to fight "anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry", condemned Mr Bannon's appointment, describing the alt-right movement supported by Breitbart News as "a loose-knit group of white nationalists, unabashed anti-Semites and racists".
John Weaver, a Republican political consultant who was John Kasich's chief strategist, tweeted: "The racist, fascist extreme right is represented footsteps from the Oval Office. Be very vigilant America."
Former Barack Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer noted: "Nation exhales because white nationalist only gets second most influential job in White House."
Mr Trump said: "Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to an historic victory.
"Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again."

Just read elsewhere that there was an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn which voted for Cheeto, because somebody conned them into believing that he "supported Israel".
The Stormtrumpers "thanked" them for their support by spray-painting swastikas and anti-semitic slurs all over the place.

Well, you would have thought that the frequently aired racist, xenophobic comments of Trump's supporters - emboldened by the nationalist rhetoric of their candidate - would have been enough to give most people not only pause, but cause not to vote for him.

That's called stereotyping. The media was biased against Trump from day one and would print, post or say anything they could that put him in a negative light. Some of Trump's supporters are right wing extremists I'm sure plenty of left wing extremists supported Hillary as well. But that wasn't reported as much because it doesn't fit the liberal agenda.

Since its founding by a former Ku Klux Klan leader in 1996, Stormfront has been the internet’s premier watering hole for white nationalists and neo-Nazis everywhere. It is also, apparently, full of soon-to-be White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon’s very biggest fans.
For instance, take Stormfront user Phoenix1933, who could not possibly speak more highly of the former Breitbart man:

Or these users, all white supremacists and all positively delighted at President-elect Trump’s choice in confidantes:

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--4qRXyWVD--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/pjgmoubsch8cgbuggnhk.png
According to The New York Times, Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway “denied that Mr. Bannon had a connection to right-wing nationalists or that he would bring those views to the White House. ‘I’m personally offended that you think I would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going philosophies,’ she said.”
I cannot find any instances of Bannon explicitly denying any connections to the white nationalist movement, or decrying its worldview. We’ve asked the Trump campaign for comment on Bannon’s white nationalism (or lack thereof), but as of the time of publication, we have yet to hear back. Bannon has, however, described right-wing nationalists as “patriots” who “just want their country taken care of.”
Still, the internet’s most dedicated neo-Nazis appear to feel a staunch kinship to Bannon, and many users on Stormfront see Bannon’s appointment as the first step in their imminent rise to power.

NPR = Nazi Propaganda Radio?? Shit, they have gone right wing as it is, ever since Chimpy's fraudministration
In a thread celebrating Bannon’s appointment, user SaveAustraliaFromInvasion wrote that Trump’s win “is going to bring out the White Pride in ourselves ... He’s employing racially aware, alt right people, he’s been praised by nationalist leaders in Europe, people who once judged him are now sucking up ... and many other people are changing their ways because of the future president.”
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Nr7HZHNK--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/ndznurq5qg8dqgg5pz7z.png
We should note that Bannon’s status isn’t unanimous on the Stormfront boards: User PolishSlavAryan writes that while Bannon may not be a white nationalist himself, he’s at least sympathetic to the cause.
Not everyone was immediately on board, though.
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--DLKwfi2C--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/qmc0ny5fnss5gtphx0cw.png
If you’ll recall, before working in media (owned by Jews), Steve Bannon was an investment banker at Goldman Sachs (also owned by Jews). How could a man who has worked so closely with the JEW MEDIA and the JEW BANKERS be one of Stormfront’s own?
This is, of course, also Newt Gingrich’s exact argument.
Still, the users worried that Bannon isn’t quite anti-Semitic enough are few and far between compared to those that are positively stoked to see him at Trump’s side. Many Stormfront users believe that Bannon holds their same (or at least, very nearly the same) white-centric beliefs and values close to his heart.
White supremacists are openly celebrating the appointment of Donald Trump’s closest advisor to an official position in the White House. You can debate whether it’s proper to call Bannon a white supremacist all you want. The actual white supremacists, however, are doing no such thing. They are ecstatic. We should be horrified.

ISIS Commander in Afghanistan: 'Complete Maniac' Trump 'Will Make Our Job Easier'
BY BRIDGET JOHNSON NOVEMBER 16, 2016 CHAT 53 COMMENTS
An ISIS commander in Afghanistan said the terror group is expecting a recruitment boom after the election of Donald Trump.
"This guy is a complete maniac. His utter hate towards Muslims will make our job much easier because we can recruit thousands," Abu Omar Khorasani told Reuters.
ISIS has not issued any official statements on the election. Trump was not mentioned in the Islamic State's weekly newspaper last week, al-Naba, nor in the new issue of their monthly magazine, Rumiyah.
They did issue a pre-election voters guide that said both candidates were unacceptable and justified killing anyone, but especially Muslims, who cast a ballot because they were participating in democracy.
Some prominent ISIS supporters on Twitter have hailed the results, with one whose account has been suspended saying "the dog Trump's victory in the U.S. elections is a gold mine for Muslims not a setback if they know how to use it."
Another suspended Algerian ISIS supporter named Mohamed Aljazairie tweeted, "Congratulations to the Muslim nation over the infidel Trump's victory. His stupid statements alone serve us."
The first official statements about Trump's victory did come from an Afghan terror group: the Taliban.
"Our message is that he should give U.S. government a policy of not depriving freedom of other nations of the world and should not seek American interests in the destruction and conviction of other nations, so to make the world safer and end the ongoing crisis," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement a week ago.
"Most importantly, he should withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and unlike other former U.S. rulers, he should neither seek any more titles of ignominy for his self and American generals, nor worsen the American prestige, economy and military by engaging in this futile war," Mujahid added.

If ISIS is saying they're glad we elected Trump it means the exact opposite. Trump has gone on record saying he's willing to negotiate and work with Russia to deal with the middle east situation. Last time we ( the U S and our allies) were allies with Russia we stomped the living shit out of the Nazis. Isis ain't shit compared to the Nazis.
No, dummy.... The IS-holes are happy because Cheeto is surrounding himself with a bunch of Islamophobes and fellating NuttyYahoo in public, which is a great combination to drive up their recruitment numbers.

Alt-Right Exults in Donald Trump’s Election With a Salute: ‘Heil Victory’
Joseph Goldstein
nytimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/us/alt-right-salutes-donald-trump.html?_r=0)
11-21-16
These are exultant times for the alt-right movement, which was little known until this year, when it embraced Mr. Trump’s campaign and he appeared to embrace it back. He chose as his campaign chairman Stephen K. Bannon, the media executive who ran the alt-right’s most prominent platform, Breitbart News, and then named him as a senior adviser and chief strategist.
Now the movement’s leaders hope to have, if not a seat at the table, at least the ear of the Trump White House.
While many of its racist views are well known — that President Obama is, or may as well be, of foreign birth; that the Black Lives Matter movement is another name for black race rioters; that even the American-born children of undocumented Hispanic immigrants should be deported — the alt-right has been difficult to define. Is it a name for right-wing political provocateurs in the internet era? Or is it a political movement defined by xenophobia and a dislike for political correctness?
At the conference on Saturday, Mr. Spencer, who said he had coined the term, defined the alt-right as a movement with white identity as its core idea.
“We’ve crossed the Rubicon in terms of recognition,” Mr. Spencer said at the conference, which was sponsored by his organization, the National Policy Institute.
And while much of the discourse at the conference was overtly racist and demeaning toward minorities, for much of the day the sentiments were expressed in ways that seemed intended to not sound too menacing. The focus was on how whites were marginalized and beleaguered.
One speaker, Peter Brimelow, the founder of Vdare.com, an anti-immigration website, asked why, if Hispanics had the National Council of La Raza and Jews had the Anti-Defamation League, whites were reluctant to organize for their rights. Some speakers made an effort to distance themselves from more notorious white power organizations like the Ku Klux Klan.
But as the night wore on and most reporters had gone home, the language changed.
Mr. Spencer’s after-dinner speech began with a polemic against the “mainstream media,” before he briefly paused. “Perhaps we should refer to them in the original German?” he said.
The audience immediately screamed back, “Lügenpresse,” reviving a Nazi-era word that means “lying press.”
Mr. Spencer suggested that the news media had been critical of Mr. Trump throughout the campaign in order to protect Jewish interests. He mused about the political commentators who gave Mr. Trump little chance of winning.
“One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem,” he said, referring to a Jewish fable about the golem, a clay giant that a rabbi brings to life to protect the Jews.
Mr. Trump’s election, Mr. Spencer said, was “the victory of will,” a phrase that echoed the title of the most famous Nazi-era propaganda film. But Mr. Spencer then mentioned, with a smile, Theodor Herzl, the Zionist leader who advocated a Jewish homeland in Israel, quoting his famous pronouncement, “If we will it, it is no dream.”
The United States today, Mr. Spencer said, had been turned into “a sick, corrupted society.” But it was not supposed to be that way.
Richard B. Spencer, a leader of the alt-right movement, spoke at a conference in Washington on Saturday. Al Drago/The New York Times
“America was, until this last generation, a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Mr. Spencer thundered. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.” :meinsmiley::meinsmiley:
But the white race, he added, is “a race that travels forever on an upward path.”
“To be white is to be a creator, an explorer, a conqueror,” he said.:meinsmiley:
More members of the audience were on their feet as Mr. Spencer described the choice facing white people as to “conquer or die.”
Of other races, Mr. Spencer said: “We don’t exploit other groups, we don’t gain anything from their presence. They need us, and not the other way around.”
The ties between the alt-right movement and the Trump team are difficult to define, even by members of the alt-right.
Mr. Bannon was the chief executive of Breitbart, an online news organization that has fed the lie that Mr. Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim. As recently as last year, Breitbart published an op-ed article urging that “every tree, every rooftop, every picket fence, every telegraph pole in the South should be festooned with the Confederate battle flag.”
Mr. Bannon told Mother Jones this year that Breitbart was now “the platform for the alt-right.”
But in an interview last week with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Bannon said that the alt-right was only “a tiny part” of the viewpoint represented on Breitbart.
“Our definition of the alt-right is younger people who are anti-globalists, very nationalist, terribly anti-establishment,” he told The Journal, adding that the alt-right had “some racial and anti-Semitic overtones.”
When asked about Mr. Bannon, the conference’s speakers said that they might have shaken his hand on occasion, but that they did not know him well.
Mr. Brimelow said that he had met “Mr. Bannon once, earlier this summer, before he ascended to Olympus.” He said he had told Mr. Bannon that he was doing great work at Breitbart. “He agreed,” Mr. Brimelow recalled to the audience.
As for Mr. Trump, Mr. Brimelow said he had met him about 30 years ago at a “conservative affinity meeting” in Manhattan. But that was it.
“Trump and Steve Bannon are not alt-right people,” Mr. Brimelow said, adding that they had opportunistically seized on two issues that the alt-right cares most about — stopping immigration and fighting political correctness — and used them to mobilize white voters.
Mr. Spencer said that while he did not think the president-elect should be considered alt-right, “I do think we have a psychic connection, or you can say a deeper connection, with Donald Trump in a way that we simply do not have with most Republicans.”
White identity, he said, is at the core of both the alt-right movement and the Trump movement, even if most voters for Mr. Trump “aren’t willing to articulate it as such.”
At various points, he and other speakers outlined where they differed from Mr. Trump. They see him as too beholden to Israel. They do not see any reason to start a trade war with China, and they are not necessarily opposed to the Iran nuclear deal.
For them, immigration is the most potent mobilizing issue, less for economic reasons than because of the prospect that white Americans will someday represent less than half of the population of the country.
For the alt-right, the most exciting thing about Mr. Trump was that he built a campaign around the issues that mattered most to them, and that white people had voted for him in numbers that left the political establishments of both parties stunned. Now, Mr. Spencer said, it is up to the alt-right to formulate the ideas and policies to guide the new administration.
“I think we can be the ones out in front, thinking about those things he hasn’t quite grasped yet, who are putting forward policies,” Mr. Spencer said, that “have a realistic chance of being implemented.”:meinsmiley:

Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly had 'forbidden' internet connection at the Pentagon
Paul Szoldra,Business Insider Fri, Nov 25 1:51 PM PST
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn installed a secret internet connection into his office at the Pentagon even though it was "forbidden," according to a profile in The New Yorker by Dana Priest.
The network connection was among other rules the former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency broke because he found them to be "stupid," including sometimes sneaking out of a CIA station in Iraq without authorization and sharing classified information with NATO allies without approval, according to The New Yorker.
While Flynn — who was recently tapped to be President-elect Donald Trump's national security adviser — apparently had his own private connection, the New Yorker profile doesn't provide a clear picture as to why.
It's likely his Pentagon office already had an authorized, unclassified connection to the internet called NIPRNet, which is separate from classified networks such as SIPRNet and JWICS, a former DIA analyst told Business Insider.
All of those networks are monitored in some way. A separate, unknown network would not have had the same — or possibly any — level of monitoring. If it were implemented in secret, it would also not have the same protections from hackers that a known connection would have.
It's also possible that Flynn's Pentagon office was known as a SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility — a secure facility in which intelligence can be discussed without fear of it being compromised. Network connections in SCIFs are closely controlled, and outside electronics such as mobile phones are not allowed inside.
"If his office was an SCIF, then that would be really bad," the DIA analyst said. "But there are so many unknowns."
Whether or not his office was an SCIF, the possibility of an external internet connection installed in violation of facility rules drew parallels to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who was often criticized by the general on the campaign trail for using a private email server while she was secretary of state.
"So there seems to be a standard for the Clintons that's not the same standard for the rest of America," Flynn told The Heritage Foundation.
Spokespersons for DIA and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Trump campaign spokesperson also did not respond.

I usually try and stay away from politics that only affects the US but this one is funny.
Choosing Ben Carson for Housing Secretary is interesting, if only we could predict what would happen if you chose a guy who knows nothing about the subject, a token minority, who doesn't even believe in the department but give him a budget of $47 billion.
Google the guy Reagan put in charge Samuel Pierce who was so incompetant he didn't get jailed unlike everyone under him. :)
In summary....
Ben Carson has demonstrated the ability to do two things at a world-class level: perform surgical operations, and run lucrative scams. By his own admission, he is patently unqualified to run a federal agency. Nonetheless, he has accepted the job as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a policy field in which he has no experience or expertise. One might think that this background makes Carson uniquely unsuited for the role of HUD secretary. But from another, more cynical perspective, he is absolutely perfect for the job.
HUD is traditionally a magnet for scandal under Republican administrations, for two reasons. First, its mission of providing affordable housing for the urban poor is marginal, at best, to the core Republican agenda. (Jack Kemp, George H. W. Bush’s HUD secretary, is a rare exception of an activist Republican HUD secretary.) Second, the agency’s program structure lends itself naturally to profiteering. HUD works closely with private developers to build affordable housing. Without careful oversight, the agency can easily become a slush fund to distribute sweetheart contracts to the administration’s buddies.
Samuel Pierce, Ronald Reagan’s HUD secretary, turned the agency into a slush fund for cronies. Reagan’s HUD regularly handed out loans and grants on the basis of political contacts. Moderate Republican Representative Chris Shays denounced one pair of profiteers for running “a dirty, smelly, slimy business.” Ultimately, a slew of Reagan-era HUD officials were convicted, including three assistant secretaries, for such crimes as accepting illegal loans, obstructing justice, and illegal gratuities.
George W. Bush’s housing secretary, Alphonso Jackson, resigned in 2008 after a series of scandals. These included sweetheart deals and inflated salaries for his friends, threats against whistleblowers, instructing his staff to steer contracts to Bush supporters, and even stating publicly that he once denied an otherwise suitable contract because the bidder criticized Bush. “Why should I reward someone who doesn’t like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president?” said Jackson. “Logic says they don’t get the contract. That’s the way I believe.” Jackson faced investigations by HUD’s inspector general, the Department of Justice and the FBI, none of which resulted in a conviction.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Just days after picking Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo,” to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapo’s “tremendous success in the private sector” showed that he has what it takes to “shake things up” at the D.E.A.
Trump’s appointment of the former drug lord surprised many in Washington, in no small part because acrimony between the two allegedly prompted El Chapo, in 2015, to put a hundred-million-dollar bounty on Trump’s head.
But, appearing on CNN, the Trump surrogate Kellyanne Conway said that the selection of El Chapo should surprise no one. “Mr. Trump always said that he would surround himself with the best people,” she said.
When asked why Trump had readily offered a job to El Chapo while still mulling the fate of another former adversary, Mitt Romney, Conway said, “El Chapo might not have voted for Mr. Trump, but that’s because he’s Mexican and in jail, and Mitt Romney is neither.”
The appointment of the former drug kingpin is far from a done deal, however, as associates of El Chapo report that he is “concerned” that being a member of the Trump Administration would be bad for his brand.

The Trump administration will put a fox in every henhouse, from the Goldman Sachs execs who'll run the treasury to the working conditions repeat offender who'll run the Department of Labor to the public school abolitionist who'll run the Department of Education, but when it comes to climate and energy, the Trump administration is pulling out all the stops.
The EPA will be run by an unabashed climate change denier, while the Department of Energy transition team is being led by Thomas Pyle, a Koch coal lobbyist.
Pyle and his gang have sent the Department of Energy a memo demanding the names of government contractors and employees involved in climate negotiations, clean energy initiatives, portending a political purge of DoE employees who favor an evidence-based approach to climate, rather than a hydrocarbonist ideological approach.
This played out for more than a decade in Canada, under Stephen Harper's Petro-Tory regime, and it was fucking ugly. Canada has the world's dirtiest oil, but its carbon crimes are only a fraction of America's, and the damage that hydrocarbonism could do in America over the next four years is frankly terrifying.
"This feels like the first draft of an eventual political enemies list," said a Department of Energy employee, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisal by the Trump transition team, told Reuters. "When Donald Trump said he wanted to drain the swamp it apparently was just to make room for witch hunts and it's starting here at the DOE and our 17 national labs.”
But what is different this time, Yale University environmental historian Paul Sabin told the Washington Post, is Trump’s request for so many specific names in an era when people are easily tracked down in "a systematic way."

Bernie Sanders on Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State: ‘Very Sad, Very Dangerous’ (http://heavy.com/news/2016/12/bernie-sanders-on-rex-tillerson-secretary-of-state-donald-trump-reaction-climate-change-global-warming-fossil-fuels/)
Published 12:02 pm EST, December 13, 2016
Updated 3:04 pm EST, December 13, 2016
By Daniel S. Levine
Bernie Sanders issued a stern response to President-elect Donald Trump‘s nomination of ExxonMoil Corporation CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. In his statement, Sanders said that Tillerson must be opposed and accused Trump of putting fossil fuel profits in front of the needs of the planet.
“Very sad. Very dangerous. Mr. Tillerson must be opposed,” Sanders’ statement reads. “Mr. Trump is making it abundantly clear that the fossil fuel industry’s short-term profits are more important than the future of the planet.”
In a longer statement, Sanders said that nominating Tillerson sends a “very troubling message to the international community.”
Sanders full statement reads:
Mr. Trump’s nomination of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state is sending a very troubling message of the international community. Not only is Mr. Tillerson a pal of Russia’s authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin, but he is the head of one of the largest oil companies in the world. In this appointment, Mr. Trump is making it abundantly clear that the short-term profits of the fossil fuel industry ate more important than climate change and the future of the planet. Very sad. Very dangerous. Mr. Tillerson must be opposed.
Sanders’ opposition to Tillerson is not surprising. He made climate change one of his key issues during his primary campaign against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
“Sadly, we now have a Republican Party that is more concerned about protecting the profits of Exxon, BP and Shell and the coal industry than protecting the planet,” Sanders said in a statement on his campaign site. “While fossil fuel companies are raking in record profits, climate change ravages our planet and our people – all because the wealthiest industry in the history of our planet has bribed politicians into ignoring science.”
In the past, Tillerson has advocated for a carbon tax, however, he has also said that climate change is an “engineering problem” that has “engineering solutions.”
ExxonMobil is also being investigated by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on allegations that it lied to investors and the public about the effects of climate change. Schneiderman alleges that Exxon knew about the dangers, but still backed groups that doubted climate change. Tillerson and the company deny those claims.
Tillerson, who has no prior government experience, must be confirmed by the Senate in order to become the U.S.’ top diplomat. There have already been two high-profile Republicans voicing concern about his nomination, including Marco Rubio and John McCain. However, these Senators focused on Tillerson’s friendship with Putin, not his views on climate change.
“Being a ‘friend of Vladimir’ is not an attribute I am hoping for from a #SecretaryOfState,” Rubio tweeted.
“It’s a matter of concern to me that he has such a close personal relationship with Vladimir Putin,” McCain told CBS News. “And obviously they’ve done enormous deals together and that would color his approach to Vladimir Putin and the Russian threat.”

That's kind of ironic since the primary reason you have an electoral college was to stop someone like Trump becoming president!
http://www.historycentral.com/elections/Electoralcollgewhy.html
The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College is hard to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers:
"It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief."
Hamilton and the other founders believed that the electors would be able to insure that only a qualified person becomes President. They believed that with the Electoral College no one would be able to manipulate the citizenry. It would act as check on an electorate that might be duped. Hamilton and the other founders did not trust the population to make the right choice. The founders also believed that the Electoral College had the advantage of being a group that met only once and thus could not be manipulated over time by foreign governments or others.

Trump Chooses Hard-Liner as Ambassador to Israel (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/15/us/politics/donald-trump-david-friedman-israel-ambassador.html?emc=edit_na_20161215&nlid=28208667&ref=headline&_r=2)
Matthew Rosenberg
NY Times
12/15/16
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Thursday named David M. Friedman, a bankruptcy lawyer aligned with the Israeli far right, as his nominee for ambassador to Israel, elevating a campaign adviser who has questioned the need for a two-state solution and has likened left-leaning Jews in America to the Jews who aided the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Mr. Friedman, whose outspoken views stand in stark contrast to decades of American policy toward Israel, did not wait long on Thursday to signal his intention to upend the American approach. In a statement from the Trump transition team announcing his nomination, he said he looked forward to doing the job “from the U.S. embassy in Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.”
Through decades of Republican and Democratic administrations, the embassy has been in Tel Aviv, as the State Department insists that the status of Jerusalem — which both Israel and the Palestinians see as their rightful capital — can be determined only through negotiations as part of an overall peace deal.
Mr. Friedman, who has no diplomatic experience, has said that he does not believe it would be illegal for Israel to annex the occupied West Bank and he supports building new settlements there, which Washington has long condemned as illegitimate and an obstacle to peace.
The Trump transition team’s statement focused on Mr. Friedman’s long history with Israel, portraying him as a friendly supporter of the country whose views were in line with the United States’ position toward it.
“The two nations have enjoyed a special relationship based on mutual respect and a dedication to freedom and democracy,” it said. “With Mr. Friedman’s nomination, President-elect Trump expressed his commitment to further enhancing the U.S.-Israel relationship and ensuring there will be extraordinary strategic, technological, military and intelligence cooperation between the two countries.” The statement said that Mr. Friedman was a fluent speaker of Hebrew and “a lifelong student of Israel’s history.”
Mr. Friedman’s appointment was quickly praised by the Republican Jewish Coalition, whose executive director, Matt Brooks, called it “a powerful signal to the Jewish community.”
But beyond Republicans, there were deep concerns over the choice of Mr. Friedman. J Street, a dovish lobbying organization that has been critical of some Israeli policies, said in a statement that it was “vehemently opposed to the nomination.”
“As someone who has been a leading American friend of the settlement movement, who lacks any diplomatic or policy credentials,” it said, “Friedman should be beyond the pale.”
Mr. Friedman has made clear his disdain for those American Jews — especially those connected to J Street — who support a two-state solution for the Israelis and the Palestinians. Writing in June on the website of Arutz Sheva, an Israeli media organization, Mr. Friedman compared J Street supporters to “kapos,” the Jews who cooperated with the Nazis during the Holocaust.
“The kapos faced extraordinary cruelty,” he wrote. “But J Street? They are just smug advocates of Israel’s destruction delivered from the comfort of their secure American sofas — it’s hard to imagine anyone worse.”
At a private session this month at the Saban Forum, an annual gathering of Israeli and American foreign policy figures, Mr. Friedman declined to disavow the comments and even intensified the sentiment.
Questioned by Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of the Atlantic, Mr. Friedman was asked if he would meet with various groups, including J Street. Mr. Friedman said he would probably meet with individuals but not with the group, according to several people who attended.
Mr. Goldberg then raised the kapos comparison and asked if he stood by it. Mr. Friedman did not back away. “They’re not Jewish, and they’re not pro-Israel,” he said, according to the people in the room.
Daniel Levy, a left-leaning former Israeli peace negotiator, said that in naming an ambassador with the hard-line views of Mr. Friedman, Mr. Trump could end up undercutting the security of Israel and the United States and condemn “the Palestinians to further disenfranchisement and dispossession.”
“If an American ambassador stakes out positions that further embolden an already triumphalist settler elite, then that is likely to cause headaches for American national security interests across the region and even for Israel’s own security establishment,” Mr. Levy said. “Especially an ambassador committed to the ill-advised relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.”
In its statement, the Trump team noted that Mr. Friedman had held his bar mitzvah 45 years ago in Jerusalem at the Western Wall. The wall, the holiest place where Jews can pray, is a remnant of the retaining wall that surrounded the ancient Temple Mount, the most sacred site in Judaism.
The site today houses the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, the third holiest site in Islam. Control over the site has been a persistent source of friction between Israel and the Palestinians, and has sparked violence between the two sides.
More recently, the Western Wall itself has been a source of tension and clashes between the Orthodox authorities who control the site and more liberal Jews, many of whom are from North America and oppose the restrictions there on prayer by women.

The communistic party (in Russia) ceased to exist when the USSR dissolved into 15 post Soviet states on the December 25th 1991. Russia became a Constitutional Republic after that. They still lean towards socialism but then again so does your hero, Bernie Sanders.
No there is still a communist party in Russia. Actually they are Putin's main political competition. I found Moscow to be quite capitalistic. It's kind of like New York City now where there are shops open at 2:00AM. You probably have more freedom in Putin's Russia than you do in Singapore actually. Singapore is actually a dictatorship with lots of rules and regulations and you can get in big trouble if you violate them. Since China is flexing it's muscle and has a lot of attitude I think geopolitically you are going to see the US side with Russia as a hedge against China. Basically do what Nixon did with China against the Soviet Union but in reverse this time. Then of course it was the oligarchs like Bush who sold us out to China and built them up. So all this get's complicated and if you are looking for cut and clear good guys and bad guys you are going to have a hard time.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Steve_Emerson-color_corrected.jpg/330px-Steve_Emerson-color_corrected.jpg
Steven Emerson (born June 6, 1954)[1] is an American journalist, author, and pundit on national security, terrorism, and Islamic extremism. Emerson is the author of six books, and co-author of two more. Emerson's credibility was challenged when he made claims on television concerning the city of Birmingham which led British Prime Minister David Cameron to say that Emerson is "clearly a complete idiot."[2] The British broadcasting regulator Ofcom subsequently censured Fox News for airing the comments, which they characterised as "materially misleading" and "a serious breach for a current affairs programme".[3]
Emerson has testified before Congressional committees on such topics including Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.[4] Some of Emerson's statements related to Muslims in the US and Europe have been criticized for inaccuracies,[5][6][7] and he has been described as a "Islamophobe" and as a discredited "terrorism expert".

You just said it's fine that no one asks him questions or holds him to account because he doesn't like it.
This is extraordinary watching Americans roll over into dictatorship.
No matter who he picks for whatever liberals are gonna find fault with that person. If he tried to get public approval of everyone he chooses he'd never get the job done.

Are you insane?
Maybe. Maybe not. How about yourself? Whatever happens happens. Life sucks then you die.

The point is to find somebody who is competent and capable of doing the job.
Let's say you need surgery. You have a choice between an experienced surgeon who graduated in the top percentage of his medical school class. Or some mental case crackpot who complains about how much he hates hospitals and doctors and wants to abolish the entire medical industry.
Common sense would say you go with the guy who knows what he's doing. Cheeto "sense" would say you go with the other guy. :cato:

President-elect Donald Trump has had an infamously difficult time finding musicians who are willing to perform at his upcoming inauguration — and he earned a lot of ridicule this past week when he defensively insisted he never wanted celebrities at his big party anyway.
However, there is one A-list celebrity who has offered his services to Trump’s inauguration this year, although it’s likely not one that Trump would accept.
Per The Guardian, it seems that Alec Baldwin — whose impersonation of Trump on Saturday Night Live has regularly infuriated the president-elect — will happily perform at Trump’s inauguration this year.
However, there is a significant catch: Baldwin says on his Twitter page he wants to perform a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” which is presumably where he thinks Trump will be taking the world over the next four years. :devildance:

Don't worry c-dog. Just like you he'll never get a job done while shining in public disapproval...

Ridiculous.
You think noone found fault in GW Bush?
If it wasn't for the fucking media Trump couldn't have been elected. How many hundreds of hours of free coverage did he get?
If you ignore all media what are you left with? Trumps twitter?

The only "A" list Alec Baldwin on is a list of assholes.

‘GO JEFFIE GO!’
by J.D. Durkin | 9:39 am, January 10th, 2017 (http://www.mediaite.com/online/protestors-dressed-as-kkk-crash-jeff-sessions-confirmation-hearing/)
Moments ago in Capitol Hill, two protestors dressed as Klansmen stood up to interrupt the proceedings into Donald Trump‘s pick for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
As soon as Sessions entered the chambers, the protestors could be seen standing up in the back of the room, immediately drawing media attention. The protestors, donned in white hooded robes, wore makeshift foam fingers fingers inscribed with the words, “GO JEFFIE BOY,” presumably in mock support for Sessions’ previous allegations of racial insensitivity. The protestors were promptly removed before the beginning of the hearing.
“Beauregard, thank you so much for being here for the people!” one of the men can be heard saying, addressing the potential Attorney General by his middle name (yes, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is his full name). “Wait a minute — you can’t arrest me, I’m white!” he continued. “White people don’t get arrested!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkCbuam0BL4
Sessions was said to have responded to the protestors, saying "See, it's goddamned potheads like you that made me quit the Klan in the first place!!"

Yeah Yeah Yeah. The Republican is going to get us into a nuclear war. That shit goes back to the Goldwater campaign. Heard plenty of it when Reagan was president. Come on liberals. Thinks out of the box. Your game is old.
Reagan - even at his worst moment of Alzheimer's dementia - never said "what's the point of having nuclear weapons if you don't use them".
Granted, being a Hollywood actor, it literally took a movie ("The Day After") to make him see the full reality of what his arms race was leading to, so he woke up and started talking to Gorby. Or so the legend goes.... who the fuck knows how much at this point he was consciously aware of at all?
Does this mean we need a "reality TV" show about a nuclear holocaust to lower it down to the mentality level that Cheeto can understand? :headscratch:

Meh, I saw his interview last weekend I think on CBS and he sounded anything but "satisfied" with Trump and did everything he could to say he doesn't hate him...

McConnell, Ryan, Rubio and Cruz have all made their beds with Trump.
With McConnell, once Trump advocated giving Big Coal an infusion of support, he was all in. Trump having [McConnell's] wife Chao inside his administration just sealed the deal. McConnell's last Senate race, by Kentucky historic standards, was much closer even in the primaries than any before, but McConnell won fairly handily. McConnell went all in for Trump in the end, so whatever semi-muted misgivings he may trying to subtly convey publicly now are a case of too little, too late.
Ryan publicly dithered throughout the 2016 election, taking a half-assed stance of somehow still supporting Trump's candidacy while disavowing controversial things Trump said and did on the campaign trail, all of which was clearly calculated to give Ryan wiggle room to move away from the nature of Trump's candidacy when Trump presumably lost in November, thus providing Ryan with the ability to rebuild the Republican Party in the wake of Trump's assumed loss and - at least publicly - move away from the contentious racial undertones (in Trump's case, blatant overtones) that many Establishment Republican politicians and pundits came to believe over the last decade helped ensure their defeat at the Presidential level. Well, Trump won, so you don't hear too much about THAT anymore. Ryan also seemed somewhat uncomfortable with the Muslim Ban, although I couldn't tell if his vague unease had more to do with the way it was rolled out than the core merits of the ban itself. Ryan was initially reluctant to become House Speaker, doubtless because he has some Presidential ambitions himself, and it's easier to run for President when you're not directly tied to Speaker Leadership and legislation in terms of a definitive record for an opponent to run against. While that flexibility for Ryan will soon evaporate - he's the Big Cheese in the House now and will be taking ownership of legislation going forward - Ryan's Wisconsin seat is also (for now) very safe.
Marco Rubio is among the more vulnerable of the 4 politically. He won in 2010 in no small part because he was part of the Tea Party wave, but also because the 2010 race was a three-way contest. He managed to win a 4-point victory this year, but considering his opponent was a virtual unknown in terms of name-recognition, it wasn't a clobbering. Rubio's problem is he straddles the fence too much, and from the day he was elected in 2010 has bought into the press-hyped notion that he is the GOP's Latino version of Barack Obama in terms of a rock star political profile and potential. He also has no substantive legislative accomplishments he can attach his name to. This wasn't a problem for Trump, and wouldn't be for any outsider by the nature of what being an outsider means. However, when you have been in the Senate, you kinda want to be able to say "I was a part of this thing or that thing, and thus made x, y and z happen as a result." Outside of a failed immigration bill, Rubio has nothing to his credit. He is also clearly looking at another run for the Presidency down the road, even as soon as 2020 if Trump flames out. Like Paul Ryan, Rubio crafted a dubious record last year of opposing much of what Trump said and did on the campaign trail while (at times simultaneously) advocating for Trump to be elected.
Ted Cruz has a long history as a strident conservative. In terms of his conservatism, his consistency to the ideology can't be questioned. He certainly is the least willing out of the 4 to even go as far as calibrating the language he uses in describing his political beliefs to win over voters with less rigid ideological views: with Cruz, you know what he stands for. He made it the farthest against Trump in the Republican Primaries, and it took him the longest out of the 4 to come around and publicly endorse Trump, which I suppose is saying something (although I'm not sure what, exactly) considering he has a face made for radio and the personal charisma and charm of a skunk at a garden party. He might be in trouble in 2018, as his level of support demonstrates he has a level of vulnerability much greater in his home state than any of the other three do in theirs. Cruz's fate might also be tied into Trump's to a degree, but even beyond that a lot of Texas voters just don't like Ted Cruz anymore...apparently more as of right now than those who want to see him remain. A lot of that bad feeling is leftover from Cruz's own history of grandstanding theatrics that pre-dated Trump's appearance on the political scene as a candidate in 2015.
