@mdkI get my information on Trump from his own twitter feed, where he calls anyone who disagrees with him weak, a loser, or fake news/media. How is that anything other than fanning division?


This twitter feed? He does a lot more than 'fan division.'

But antifascist groups aren't the only ones protesting Trump.


I mean there's also convicted terrorists, convicted kidnapper/torturer/murderers, proponents of racial violence, and actual literal nazis. At some point you really have to stop and think.

And he's the President and they're not. He's supposed to have dignity and rise above pettiness. You can't blame everybody except the President, the buck is supposed to stop with him.


"We can act like shitheads all we want and if you respond at all you're petty" -- wait, who's the troll again?

I'm aware he does other things, are you denying he fans division at all?

So do the Neo-Nazi groups that hailed Trump, and Trump's refusal to disavow a leader of the KKK make you the guys? If no then why should this apply to the anti-Trump crowd?

No, I did not say that. I do not support the behaviour of these groups, in fact I would happily disavow them, something Trump refuses to do again and again when it comes to the bad apples on his side. I also meant pettiness as in they're being petty and he is responding in kind, I was not pointing solely to Trump. He is not simply responding, he insults anyone who disagrees with him and belittles the concerns of the people he is supposed to represent. Obama put up with the crap of the tea party and birthers, and I can't remember him calling people losers via twitter or threatening freedom of the press.

Oh he rises to the occasion, no question about that.

What? He denounced these asshats like a thousand times. Google "did Trump disavow white nationalists." You'll get a hundred hits. Or watch Spicer address the coverage with Wolf Blitzer. About five minutes in.

Meanwhile, would-be VP Tim Kaine (edit: his son, sorry, meant to put that in here and got caught up linking) is an active participant in the shittery. The DNC and the Clinton Campaign actively participated in the shittery. This isn't six degrees of Kevin Bacon -- they're straight-up doing this shit.

He didn't use Twitter for that, no.

... or threatening freedom of the press.


Well about that.... Also, it's not like the left needs to worry about the press, they own the press. Hell, they straight-up ARE the press.

The thing about Trump is that he is an ideological non-entity, that is what makes his presidency something of a wild card. Faction is going to be the main thing with the Trump years, and a some schizo blogger isn't going to be enough to outmaneuver the career guys.


Of course and I agree. I don't think Bannon should have been on the security council, I don't think winning on such a weak sauce mandate should necessarily call for an unorthodox administration, I think the in-fighting factions will be the running theme of Donald Trump because he's not experienced in politics in any way. However i'm simply noting that this is simply the return of establishment GOP's which, beyond select issues are fairly one and the same with the DP in terms of corruption in western politics and a hard militant foreign policy. Same old shit, only less apologetic.

Getting bannon out is a good thing, having the GOP establishment move in to replace isn't. It's a mixed bag.
