I hope by the end of his first term we will see some kind of Nuremberg trials for the global, financial, and political elite.

You keep buying devices that promote slave labor but yeah fuck the elite, don't blame urself for anything

 

You can thank the New World Order for that. Our horrendous corporate taxes have created so much fucking misery.

 

 

 

corporate taxes = slave labor. man you are thick.

I blame ourselves for not being aware enough/have the balls to say no

 

That as well. The nation is asleep and we must awaken them. It's not government's bad and corporations are good and it's not government's good and corporations are bad. The bigger the government gets the bigger the corporations get. The only reason why it's like this is because of the collusion. It must end

 

 

corporations do not get larger because government gets larger. wtf are you even talking about?

 

You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

[atypic]

No. As alive as ever.

 

Trump's just going to be another Reagan. A reality-TV poster-face doing the ceremonial stuff and support from regular politicians feeding the executive branch.

 

Plus, GOP has to show responsibility by actually doing stuff again. So the obstructivism of esp. the freedom-caucus - or whatever the hell its name - is a no-go. I don't believe the Dems will go into obstr. mode. Although you never know. There's still some hot button issues like climate and income inequality. And obamacare even.

 

edit: @candiru

 

I agree with this very much.  Trump isn't so much for actually doing - much easier to defer decision making to the GOP establishment and right wing moneyed interests.  Although I do expect him to go off on his own tangent every now and again.  But what motivation does he really have to help the common man?

 

The whole thing is a fucking disaster, IMO.  He's openly a climate change denier, and intends to put a climate change denier as head of EPA.  We can expect him to support the money in big coal and natural gas, not renewable energy.

 

He's openly opposed to net neutrality.  Again that's where the money is.

 

And with control of the senate and house:

• We know they'll fill at least Scalia's seat, although they won't find someone more conservative.  Let's just hope Ginsburg and Breyer can hold on another 4 years.
• Repeal of Obamacare is likely.  There are lots of things good about it, although since it failed to be a single-payer system, it left insurance in charge of their rates which they promptly jacked up, leaving folks in trouble.
• Expect abortions to become even harder to obtain.
• Expect efforts to peel back gay marriage - this will ultimately depend on the Supreme Court.
• Expect further redistricting to stem the inevitable tide of the changing demographics, to hold Republican entrenchment a bit longer.
• No real reason to expect decrease in government spying.
• No real reason to expect decrease in foreign military action (drone strikes, etc.).

I could go on...

His foreign policy team is a nightmare for all of us.

 

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/trump-foreign-policy-team-221049

 

Those named by Trump include counterterrorism expert Walid Phares; Carter Page, a long-time energy industry consultant; George Papadopoulos ("an oil and energy consultant. Excellent guy"); Joe Schmitz, a former inspector general at the Defense Department and later an executive at Blackwater; retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, "and quite a few more," Trump told the editorial board at the meeting in downtown Washington, where he was accompanied by campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and spokeswoman Hope Hicks.

 

 

Kellogg, currently a vice president at defense contractor Cubic, previously served as commander of the 82nd Airborne Division and as a security-focused deputy to L. Paul Bremer in Iraq. His final job in the military was as director of Command, Control, Communications and Computers for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You'll be like us in England when we had David Cameron voted in: at first, you're considering which vein to cut first. Eventually, like most chronic pain / trauma, you get used to living in a nightmare land. Despite reality caving in every day.

 not entirely speculation. speculation with some information backing it up.

 

He's offered positions to people, but he hasn't clarified what those positions will actually be.

[Adieu]

lol at the people saying "this is a momentous achievement" and he's just picking up fucking neocons, corrupt politicians, family members, and military industrial complex folks to advise and run his administration. This is the issue with people that lack foresight and do not care about information vs feelings.

 

Looking at it right now, it's basically a 3rd term for Bush and Cheney disguised as the right's Obama.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trump-picks-top-climate-skeptic-to-lead-epa-transition/

 

Donald Trump has selected one of the best-known climate skeptics to lead his U.S. EPA transition team, according to two sources close to the campaign.

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump’s transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

The Trump team has also lined up leaders for its Energy Department and Interior Department teams. Republican energy lobbyist Mike McKenna is heading the DOE team; former Interior Department solicitor David Bernhardt is leading the effort for that agency, according to sources close to the campaign.

Ebell is a well-known and polarizing figure in the energy and environment realm. His participation in the EPA transition signals that the Trump team is looking to drastically reshape the climate policies the agency has pursued under the Obama administration. Ebell’s role is likely to infuriate environmentalists and Democrats but buoy critics of Obama’s climate rules.

 

 

It's a great time to work in Oil and Gas.
