Trump MAGAthread II: Donald and Mike go to the White House

[Liriena]

My country's former president. Basically a female, left-of-center Trump: a wealthy, corrupt, vindictive, nationalistic populist with terrible Twitter habits and an unhealthy disdain towards critical voices in the press.

Suffice to say, they were not the best eight years... although we did score a couple of major victories for LGBT rights.

Your moving the goal post beacuse he wanted those things to happen and campaigned on a promises to make those things happen.

Now he is not doing it and you flipped the script that means you now also agree that those things should not happen despite your earlier agreement that those things should happen.

You are moving those posts really really really far away and/or are in denial.

And HRC is bad beacuse?

*All the media I watched told me so

No, you see, flipping is not the same as being mind zombies to getting all information from whatever satisfies confirmation bias.

No need to do it anymore.



Probably a good thing after all.



Irrelevant. Identity politics are a non-issue for Donald. He's got important stuff to do.



Possibly better that way to keep things as they are. Avoids unnecessary hassle.



And there you go.



As said before. The DrainTheSwamp Meme was a Brainchild of Steve Bannon. Trump was known before that his possibly Cabinet would have a lot of old-industry Tycoons. Which hasn't exactly materialized. So its better to focus on the Man and his Campaign in entirety than on the last Months.



I always thought somehow you'd were supportive of her somehow. Wasn she into extreme protectionist and autarky politics? Also lets not forget her shady Trade Deals with China and the xtreme Capital transfer exchanges controls.

Just beacuse it's a good thing he is not doing it, doesn't mean you agreed with a person who wanted it to go.

It means he is abandoning his positions and has the trustworthiness completely destroyed.

Sounds like it's more sycophancy; if he's doing it it must be the right idea.

[Liriena]

Oh gawd... American friends, if you weren't worried before, you should be horrified now.

Cristina Fernandez likes Trump.

I love the Google translations in there.

"Let him who faced him he is a person with certain personal characteristics can not officiate tree to cover our forest " - Fernandez speaking about Trump

Basically, she's arguing that Trump's personality is secondary to his importance as an anti-establishment figure for the working class.

Not good, but the LGBT rights sound good.

How did Argentina turn out after she left?

Not particularly well. The economy was doing poorly in the final years of her presidency, and the new government so far has been mediocre at best in their attempts to change course.

On the bright side, we're taking our first few steps into actually 'draining the swamp'.

A major problem with her economic legacy is that much of it was undermined by unreliable official statistics and widespread corruption.

No, you are going against things that he campaigned for.


That is what is happening now.

So it turns out that a load of vote-counting machines in Michigan were broken on election day.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a general US federal politics thread than a Trump thread?

As a dirty leftist, what really frustrates me about her presidency is how much of a wasted opportunity it was. Economic conditions were great during much of her first term, and her husband had left her with a pretty sturdy legacy to build upon. She had the chance to really change things for the better on every level, but a lot of it was squandered on half-baked progressivism or tarnished by corruption. It really says something when the platform of a center-right candidate like Macri sounds slightly more progressive than yours.

Gonna be a fun four years with His Excellency Trump doing Trump things and us with only a limited scope for making fun of him.

Incidentally, did you know that the US President is formally styled as "Your Excellency", in addition to "Mr. President"? I really hope that Trump tries to get people to call him that.

I'm almost certain that he'll try if he finds out. It's been firmly established that the man is almost pathologically obsessed with status and recognition.

Certainly he thinks that he's excellent.

McConnell has blocked the Russian interference investigation. Probably because his wife told him to.

A smart move by Trump to appoint his Wife to the Cabinet, forging close ties to one of the most influential GOP Party Leaders.

4D-Chess all over again.

The names suggests that 4d chess would be complex to the point of physical impossibility. Whereas this is transparent favour-currying of the sort that's gone on for about as long as humans have had a society in which favour could be curried.

Wow.

Yeah.

Heck, she even squandered her party's chance for a fourth consecutive term in the presidency. She hand-picked my province's governor as her successor, and forced all primary challengers to drop out before the primaries actually took place... and her candidate lost. To this day, I hear a lot of people in my social circles who despised her, but would have considered voting for her party if her Minister of Interior had been the candidate instead.

How predictably infantile. You must be so proud of yourself.

It will make one's blood chemistry fucked up. Effects the thinking. Needs a better diet.

That doesn't sound good.

Trump has won more popular votes than any Republican candidate, 62,896,705, which beats George W Bush's 62,039,572.
Still not as large as either of Obama's wins of 69,499,428 and 65,918,507 or Clinton's loss with 65,737,061.

If you're wondering, I get the numbers from http://uselectionatlas.org/ as I have heard it is the most reliable. And the 2016 vote count is not official as of now so it may change.

So all the sycophancy has put me in mind of one thing.

So is that what we have become; a 24th century Rome, driven by nothing other than the certainty that Caesar can do no wrong?

Needs more civil war and more back stabbing. It's getting there though.

We've been like this since at least Reagan.
