    Nothing new, but the novelty is that it comes from an insider. And it gives insight into their perspective. Nixon was pretty paranoid towards the end. i don't think trump is as self aware as nixon was.. so i don't know that he'll be so introspective as to become actually paranoid but if his administration doesn't stick together and stay on the same page who knows? it seems like he has a few people who will act as handlers or at least in the press they'll be out there restating some of what he tweets or quips to the press to form a message. was it here i read the article about "trumps followers don't have an actual ideology just an irrational hatred of liberals"? i can't remember.. it makes some sense for some of his followers and i suspect that coin can be flipped and same can be said about some liberals... anyway.. i agree about the outrage.. it serves no one to have the press/internet constantly outraged at whatever bullshit falls from his mouth. it also cannot be sustained or constructive. regarding conflicts of interest.. there is no rule about the presidency and conflict of interest.. only ethical guidelines that are really totally optional. it's up to the president to do these things but it's not required.. same as not sharing his tax returns.. this is not a requirement but every presidential candidate has done it for transparency. trump doesn't really care about that. but as the president.. who so far communicates by twitter.. and has no press conferences.. he's staying insulated and still managing to manipulate the stock market by making statements about boeing or lockheed martin. i don't think it's quite clicked yet that he's no longer just an entertainer.. but his words have consequences. he's the president elect of the USA and whatever he says carries more weight now. i think he's going to toy with this some and it's going to be weird. i mention late state capitalism because the lines are all crossed/blurred and the open door between industry/stock market and government is all free flowing and is hardly a door anymore. it's a hallway. it's been that way a long time in some places.. the pentagon and arms dealers for example. they trade places all the time. the general accounting office (GAO) does a basic audit of every dept of federal government every year. a one page thing. budget/expenses.. a basic input vs output statement.. the pentagon is the only dept that is exempt from this. not because of anything other than they don't know where the money goes, how much they have and how much they spend ever year. the GAO got tired of asking them to produce this one page document so they said "forget it". the pentagon.. i think in the 80s.. just stopped complying w/the request. the GAO said "fine". they're having a field day in there. the bureaucracy is so large and corruption scattered through out that a lot of people who would normally care are just warn down by it and it's business as usual. that's sort of how it happens i think.. at some point people just stop doing a double take and it's normal. i think that could happen with trump's presidency. i think it really could turn into a berlusconi type of circus.

    that's saying something.. 2016.. worst year in memory. america wins worst in worst year. srsly though i think trump is going to do like putin's strategist and throw shade in every direction just to create chaos and distraction. he may sort of end up in his own little political world and not even pay attention to most of what his administration does. all the different departments.. or he'll micromanage the shit out of lot's of things.. lose his mind and swallowed up by his ego and go into nixon-like levels of paranoia and modern equivalent of unforgivable scandals. the conflicts of interests are so far just kind of brushed under the rug. meh.. america.. it's a perfect example of late stage capitalism for the world to learn from.

    yeah. .totally. doctors over prescribed them. ridiculously plus all the soldiers coming home were doped to the gills and the jackasses who write the book on when/how to prescribe opiates said that Oxy is 'non addictive' in the practices/guide whatever that doctors use. they changed a few small paragraphs and that was that. MDs went to mooon w/that stuff. then the country reacted to opiate addiction via prescribed medications and said "we need to crack down on this" so they did and then oxy got super expensive and all the addicts switched to heroin because it's plentiful and cheap. and now that it's cut w/the fentanyl people are ODing. and yeah.. OD deaths down in places w/medical cannabis. hopefully these fucbois in congress and at the justice dept and DEA don't get too eager. i think it would be pretty tough to unring the bell at this point and protests would be huge but i'd hate to see it come to that.

    he's not the only one to say there's footage of trump saying "worse" things. there was a while in campaign when this kind of thing was leaking out. i find it pretty easy to lean towards it being true. for a while people were saying mark cuban should pay the "fine" that violates the confidentiality agreement and make it all "ok" to leak.. the NBC people had/have lot's of stuff apparently.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/tom-arnold-says-hes-got-recordings-of-trump-using-racial-slurs-and-calling-son-a-retard/#.WFgWo_Dgglw.facebook The recordings are a compilation of various statements Trump made on camera that weren’t aired, and Arnold said those recordings have circulated within the entertainment industry. “When the people sent it to me, it was funny,” Arnold said. “Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together. He wasn’t going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children. ‘Oh, this is so funny, this is this guy.'” Arnold said he was called Nov. 6 by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s agent, who was sitting next to Hillary Clinton, and asked to release the recordings — but he refused to protect the show’s employees who made the video compilation. “They said, ‘I need you to release him saying the N-word,’” Arnold said. “I said, ‘Well, now these people – two editors and an associate producer — are scared to death. They’re scared of his people, they’re scared of they’ll never work again, there’s a $5 million confidentiality agreement.’”
