[quote=@Buddha] [hider=Trump is a racist, right?][img]http://www.snopes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Screenshot-2016-01-15-at-1.07.33-PM.png[/img][/hider] [/quote] I was confused by that photo because, like, I didn't know who it was supposed to be. If you squint he looks kinda sorta like Bill, albeit he doesn't have the right eyes, and his teeth are all wrong. But that definitely isn't Hillary, since this photo looks to be 40~ years old, and that woman also looks to be 40~, which doesn't quite add up. Considering, at roughly the time of this photograph, [url=http://vinay.howtolivewiki.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/bill-and-hillary-clinton70.jpg]they'd look like this[/url]. (She is wearing an upholstery jacket, which can only mean one of two things: this is the seventies, or it is [url=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cXpyu-d0KRg/T_EjufAn-9I/AAAAAAAABCg/_bhfQStGHeo/s1600/barassociation_132.jpg]star trek[/url].) But shit, I dunno, black face could make you look different enough to fool me, so I had to look it up. [url=http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-blackface-photo/]And yeh, it's bullshit.[/url] Which makes me feel relieved that I can still recognize faces. Anyway, regarding policy, a lot of Trump's 100 days policy speech stuff is pretty standard Republican election year populism. To anybody actually wanting to see what everybody above is name-calling each other about, here is the outline (and this is straight from his campaign, so don't call me a main stream media jew pls). [quote][i]Following the speech, the Trump campaign distributed a press release, denoting each specific new proposal:[/i] Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC: FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress; SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health); THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated; FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service; FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government; SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers: FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205 SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal. SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law: FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting. [/quote] Like I said, pretty standard, or predictable in that we've heard Trump say it before. It's conservatism in a nut shell though, with something taken from every middle American Republican's ad campaign all across the country. But the one that really sticks out to me is the Second, the Federal Hiring Freeze. Which is weird and exciting for me, a federal employee. So where I work, we do a lot of season hiring every year, where basically a shit load of people are brought in around tax season to deal with the work-load and the ones that are actually good are kept on. This is because the work available is inherently seasonal, being that this is the IRS and all the income tax returns come in around April 15th. This hiring process is done January through February in waves. Inauguration day is January 20th, so in theory a quick institution of this freeze could cull half of the necessary new employees. The implication is that we would be [i]insanely[/i] understaffed, which is fun to imagine (this is assuming a grown up doesn't spoil it and lead Trump by the hand once he is in office to make sure he doesn't do this sort of thing.) For me, it would be [i]hella[/i] overtime. I mean assloads of overtime. I'd be getting so fuckin' paid! I mean, realistically people wouldn't be getting their tax returns for a looong time, but in the mean time I get to rake in that fuckin' time-and-a-half 60 hours a week shit. I've been wanting to go on vacation to the east coast sometime when I could save up the money, and this would make it easy. Sure, I wouldn't sleep much, but who can sleep when the American Tax Payer wants to reward me for having had the foresight to get a federal job before 2017?
