President Donald John Trump
 

Since its finally happened and the world hasn't spun off its axis nor has the world been destroyed
by a nuclear cloud lets have thread for the 45th President. Here, it really is all about him.

Campaign Trail Trump On Display As He Goes To CIA On First Day As President.

:lol: Gotta love Bill Maher...Trump voters are druggies.



Obviously, cant verify any of this info, but if true.....:lol:

:mad2:

Counter inauguration protest.

HUGE.

“TRUMP,” read one sign, “DO YOU REALLY WANT TO PISS OFF THIS MANY WOMEN?”

Isn't this is the same CIA that didn't know a Director, appointed by the outgoing President, had previously given classified information to his mistress; or, that he even had a mistress? With vetting like that, how smart can the intelligence officers Obama left him be? :lol:

....but Trump was humping them bad.

Trump Administration Goes To War With The Media Over Inauguration Crowd Size

The Chinese hacked D.C.'s Metro system and changed the numbers.

:D

Everyone has a point...

Super Callous Fascist Bigot Extra Braggadocious


That there is brilliant.

Mahar leaves me cold as well. He is the echo chamber.

Sanders threw Trump a life preserver this morning.
During his inaugural speech President Trump said that he was going to represent working families and that: "We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action." Great. Let's get to work. Let's do what the middle class and working families of this country want. Let's raise the minimum wage to a living wage, let's establish pay equity for women, let's create millions of jobs rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, let's join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a right, let's make public colleges and universities tuition free, let's have the billionaire class start paying their fair share of taxes. No more talk. Let's do it. We're waiting, President Trump.

ie, the world population has increased.

Oh my God I figured it out.


It's not the income Trump is hiding in his taxes. That has never made any sense. First, his supporters have never cared about whether he's really rich, or really pays taxes. Second, he hires teams of professional accountants--they may take advantage of every questionable loophole, but I guarantee they're as clean as any other corporation.

It's the charitable donations, you guys.

He's hiding the fact that he wrote off a large donation to someone, probably one of the many white nationalist organizations with non-profit status. At this point it's the only thing that would turn Republicans against him, hard evidence that he's an out-and-out Nazi sympathizer.

Mark my words. It's something in the charitable donations.

probably Greenpeace

edit oh no obviously Planned Parenthood

I would like to believe, but here's why not. Trump has been in real estate in an extremely Democratic/lefty city for 40 years. He's had to watch over skeletons like that.

In his line of business, I'd figger every donation he's ever made has been in order to get something in return.

Lastly I don't believe we have seen much of an ideology out of this guy at all.

So Trump is pragmatic.

The Donald is in Shock and Awe ... of himself!

Can one really bomb himself?

Brian Eno has some interesting ideas about Trump, sort of a hard reboot. His bit on Hillary is spot on, the continuation of decline...

Just imagine if Hillary Clinton had won and we’d been business as usual, the whole structure she’d inherited, the whole Clinton family myth. I don’t know that’s a future I would particularly want. It just seems that was grinding slowly to a halt, whereas now, with Trump, there’s a chance of a proper crash, and a chance to really rethink.”

You've never heard of a suicide bomber?

This is the best way to think of things.

Like Undertoad's broken bone that sets harder.

But if we don't "set" the fracture in proper alignment, we'll always have that limp, that scar, that bad memory when we look in the mirror.

That having been said, Eno is imagining the reformation as he would like it to go. That is almost certainly wrong. It will go the way it goes, which is certainly not the way we picture it going, however that may be.

The Civil War, you don't set out thinking well, 620,000 people are going to die but the resulting nation will be amazingly strong and resilient and uniquely prepared for the future.

It's like people really enjoy screwing.

I believe this is what Peart means by his re-telling of the 'reed that doesn't break in the wind.' Yes, we don't break, but... "we can only grow the way the wind blows."

Civilized countries drop big bombs from B-2s. Never realized that terrorists would improvise.

We never associated a kamikaze with shock and awe - until now.

All spot on.

A serious question, what do Republican Senators think rises to an impeachable offense?

Nothing, I'm betting. They'd rather keep an insane puppet than risk an unknown.

Perjury in a trial where the accused is not found guilty?

Only if it's the other team's guy.

That goes for both teams... both other teams. :thepain: you know what I mean.

Mr. Clod and I were talking about this tonight, and we came to the conclusion that the Republicans basically have the biggest Get Out of Jail Free card ever.

Trump can push for the most right-wing policies of their wildest dreams, and if the results are disastrous, they can say "it's not our fault, that was Trump." Anything they genuinely don't like, they can just let it die on the table without funding. If they do have to actively push back against something, they can outnumber him any time they want to, and they get to be heroes for going against their own guy for the good of the land.

If they hadn't won Congress, it would be a completely different balance of power. But as I'm pretty sure the saying goes, vote in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster...

You're welcome.

and a pic

This seems likely.

For the other side, they need to figure out the difference between (bad) policy and criminality.

From Cellar member Kirk's website...

Certainly a leftist, maybe some libertarian, viewpoint. But I can agree with much of it.

All the name-calling is why we have President Trump.

And nobody has learned this yet, so... just the eight more years

Wouldn't it be weird if people were being told that other people are calling them names so often that they become indignant about something that isn't actually happening to them?

lmao

And they're the ones who sneer at snowflakes who want safe spaces.

Shut up you bass thumping computer jockey. :lol2:

Is that because the co-ed is dilated and about to have another illegitimate baby?

Maybe they're into mydriatic abuse.

No effin way would I be into that...ever.

George Jr said he looked into Putin's eyes and saw a good soul. What really was he looking into? Would mydriates have helped him better see a real soul?

If The Donald took them, would he see the real world?

Bannon is the new Cheney

God help us.

Smart move, this way they aren't needed in Washington when Trump sends them off to war. :rolleyes:

I guess we're officially in Yemen now...

The Bannon thing... makes me want to turn down my Nazi detector.

It is the democrats turn to bitch about executive orders, Christ it's almost time to turn back to the libertarians.

Is it true that the National Security Council has authority over the "we promise we'll only use it on bad guys" drone strikes on citizens without due process? I need the cellar to be my reality check, here, because I've had to swear off all political radio/TV/internet for a bit, it's too much.

US would kidnap citizens of other nations only on speculation or fictional accusations. Put them in secret prisons around the world. Or dump them in Guantanamo. Extremist said that is good - and legal. Extremists have returned to power.

We know over 700 of less than 800 prisoners in Guantanamo were innocent. What has changed to avert that stupidity? Nothing. It is still legal. Now we have a president who knows someone is evil only because he 'feels' it is true.

Every non-American in the world has good reason to fear. America can kidnap anyone and put them in secret prisons - without judicial process. Because the victim is not an American citizen. These same extremists (and The Donald) even says torture is good.

Mmkay, except not one word of that answered my question.

UT? It's not a leading question, I really want to know. I don't have the energy to figure this one out.

There. Are you happy now?

In an Obama administration, AG Holder said that in theory, the President has that authority within the borders of the USA. But it has never been exercised and would be highly unusual.

Red Dawn Movie
A ridiculous fantacy that could never happen, amirite?

I only found this article which outlines the Obamadministration chain of command for drone strikes.

https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-kill-chain/

That's interesting, I would expect the chain between 350C Task Force and the President is primarily FYI and rubber stamped at each step, until it gets to the top.
I would hope at the top they would scrutinize it more closely as well as take the political considerations into account.
When it's passed to JSOC I'd assume decisions are only on their ability to do it.


I still maintain Anwar al Awlaki was not a US citizen. He had renounced his citizenship publicly. While he had not done the defined deliver a letter to an embassy as spelled out in the rules, he had joined a foreign military fighting the US.
