lol

yes JiC

“Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign,” said a source close to Trump’s transition team.

i like the phrasing of this, which all but tells you that donald isn't all that close to his ten year old child. they just don't have much in common. no bigs

what do we think of these conspiracy theories?

Read Barron as Bannon for a second there.

lol

i hope he pulls a luke skywalker

Xp: lol. The author of the first one is a friend from college. Didn't realize that had gotten so much traction. Iirc, someone poked holes some pretty big holes in that on his initial FB post, but I also really have a hard time evaluating what is real anymore.

i want to believe the russian hacker theory too but pieces like the one that alfred linked to for florida show a more plausible explanation - rural white voters came out in force for trump

Treeship, you gotta keep up, man:

Now back up and read my last post and have a good time

Oh wait the Gothamist piece is much more specific. No, a hack of the integrity of the vote count itself unequivocally did not happen.

kinda amazing to imagine four years of the White House basically gathering dust as far as its role as a functioning residence is concerned. You get so used to all the puff-piece stuff, kids books giving you a tour, wow, it even has a bowling alley! Being President must be the funnest job in the world! and the Trumps are basically like fuck it we already have a bowling alley and all the pins are gold-plated. Thank God I don't live on the UWS anymore, the security detail covering Barron Trump's daily school attendance sounds like it'd be a major headache.

I did too! That list is really sad and dumb. Like every 3rd question was HOW MUCH DRILL BABY?

Read it, but since there was no "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?" option for any of the questions, i found myself unable to vote.

^ in a nutshell

What if Russia hacked the election by increasing turnout of white rural voters!

Meanwhile, Trump is still going on Hamilton! Last night he tweeted, then shortly deleted: "Very rude and insulting of Hamilton cast member to treat our great future V.P. Mike Pence to a theater lecture. Couldn’t even memorize lines!" Then at 3:22 this morning: "The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior" - I mean I get that we can easily get sucked into this as a distraction from the TrumpU settlement and all the noxious people he's putting on his team, but seriously, this fucking guy.

They should remove Hamilton from all money and replace him with our great future VP Mike Pence. It's the right thing to do.

So are we basically at the point where Trump is essentially merging with the government, just sucking it up like a hostile takeover business venture? GOP has been craving a president that runs the country like a CEO, and I guess now they got one.

Couldn’t even memorize lines!

Ha, what? Does he mean the speech? Like, this proves that Brandon Victor Dixon must be a poor actor?

Here's all the dumb shit from the first 100 days survey, I categorized it because I have issues

Immigration:
* Begin constructing the wall along the Southern border.
* End all federal funding to sanctuary cities that circumvent the law in order to provide protection to illegal immigrants.
* Begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants.
* Suspend immigration from regions compromised by terrorism and where vetting cannot safely occur.

Healthcare & Education:
* Repeal and replace ObamaCare.
* Allow Americans to deduct childcare and eldercare from their taxes.
* Reform the Department of Veterans Affairs in order to provide proper treatment to America’s forgotten heroes.
* Let veterans receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice.
* End Common Core and bring education supervision to local communities.
* Pass school-choice measures that redirect education dollars to give parents the right to send their kids to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious, or home school of their choice.

Judiciary Appointments:
* Appoint a strong constitutionalist to the Supreme Court in the mold of the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Rich get richer:
* Introduce an infrastructure package to modernize our country.
* Unleash the Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act, which will cut taxes for middle-class families and simplify the tax brackets in order to streamline the process.

Especially oil companies:
* Lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars worth of American energy, including shale, oil, natural gas, and clean coal.
* End bans on offshore drilling in order to end our dependence on Middle East oil and make America energy independent.
* Sign into law the Senate’s existing bill to build the Keystone Pipeline.
* Cancel billions of dollars in payments to U.N. climate change programs, and use that money to fix our own country.

Foreign Policy / Defense:
* Introduce plan to defeat ISIS.
* Set the standard for an “America First” foreign policy that ends regime-change, nation-building, and instead focuses on a motto of peace through strength.
* Direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
* End the defense sequester in order to rebuild our depleted military.
* Announce our official withdrawal from the TPP.
* Renegotiate NAFTA into terms that protect the American worker.

"Blue Lives Matter":
* Pass the Restoring Community Safety Act in order to reduce crime, drugs, and violence in our cities, and provide funding for programs that train and assist local police.

"Federal Government. BAD!":
* Cut the government regulations that lead businesses to leave our country in the first place.
* Cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum, and order issued by Obama.
* Propose a constitutional amendment to impose terms limits on all members of Congress.
* Enact a five-year ban on White House and congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.
* Pass the Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act in order to “drain the swamp” that has polluted our capital for decades.

Impressively there's nothing in there about flushing NATO down the toilet and recognizing the Crimea as belonging to my good friend, Putin.

I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?

xps I think it's just more Trump-making-shit-up. At this point, for most of the Internet Right, I would guess that Hamilton is best known as a failing musical that denigrates the Founding Fathers (and maybe Honest Abe also, who knows), where nobody remembers their lines and they boo any white or straight people who walk in the door, before turning the stage over to Spirit Cooking. Of course all of that is just a publicity stunt, like their desperate ticket giveaways, to get SJWs to show up now that a boycott by Trump supporters is putting the nail in the coffin of this unpopular and un-American celebration of New York Values.

tombot, that falls under this

* Set the standard for an “America First” foreign policy that ends regime-change, nation-building, and instead focuses on a motto of peace through strength.

i like the idea of trump criticizing hamilton for being a high school-level production, full of miscues and interruptions. an interesting twist.

"Unleash the Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act"

Interesting verb choice

i want him to ride through new york city on a float shooting out dollar bills like the joker in the first batman movie

that would be his version of the bush rebate

Guys I think what we should be spending our energy on is working on drafting an Act that spells out TRUMP in its title and does all the stuff that we want.

Have great ideas that Washington should vote for! Taxes, Real-Estate, Urban Management. Proposal!

The Tax Reform Unleashing Massive Peace Act of 2017

wait no Tax Reform Unleashing Maximum Prosperity

Temperatures Reduced Under (environmental) Management and Protection

I think the TRUMP acronym still needs to use Trump as the T

Trump Resorts Ultimate Maximum Prosperity Act

Meet the new Hamilton.

He reminds me of the divorced dad of a friend of mine and my friend would only see him on the weekends and he was always on the phone and he had a younger girlfriend and we'd go to his big empty house and he would ignore us or say a few awkward words to my friend and you never knew what he did for a living and there were always file folders everywhere and he would take off with his girlfriend and me and my friend would just watch cinemax buy ourselves and the gunfire from the action movies we watched would just echo off the walls.

"by ourselves"

lol

what do we think of these conspiracy theories?

stopped reading after the first sentence of the first one because

Why were our internal and public polls so unprecedentedly off the mark?

they weren't.

although our poll aggregators were unprecedentedly off the mark

Fresh wave of anxiety coming on again. oh joy

wait until inauguration day. the only way to ward off despair will be to take to the streets and yell at him from afar.

canada will be fine

I'm stressed about other life stuff atm, but then looking at twitter (or this thread) compounds it. Woke up paralyzed by fear this morning :'(

May be moving to the USA next August :-(

i like zuckerberg's honesty here https://twitter.com/ftrain/status/800416102333513729
