Shit is going to go nuclear tonight after darkness falls and Trump is going to call the guard out to put the boot in on everybody.
M guess is the protest march tomorrow will be banned if this keeps up. Trump will declare martial law.

From downstairs, as well:
An unpopular and hated president already doing something that only appeals to his fringe supporters is asking for a catastrophic reaction if he does that.
You’re basically asking for a Balkan state meltdown now.
I don’t care if these are agent provocateurs or are genuine protesters breaking stuff - the consequences will be the same. It will be the pretext needed for Trump to clamp down on dissent and protests. Watch for him to push for curbing protests, not just in DC, but across the nation.
It’ll be the first in a bunch of moves that limit the 1A and curb your rights to free expression and assembly. Trump will run wild over the Constitution, and it starts with depriving people of the right to dissent.
Thanks assholes.

We’ve been through that before. Not exactly “we” but ask John Lewis about it.
There’s a lot of people who are giving into despair, when what is needed is fight. This is going to be messy, and we will be a different America on the other side, but there are ways to deal with it.
Hey everyone. It’s been a few months. Just stopping by on such a tragic and sad day for our country. Hope everyone is well….as well as they can be on such a shitshow of a day.

RE: Missing pages on whitehouse.gov
What they seem to have done that really fucked up any continuity is they moved whitehouse.gov to obamawhitehouse.archives.gov and gave the Trump admin a template of the Whitehouse site.
So anything not specifically added by the new admin is gone. I don’t think they went through and started deleting pages they didn’t want. The end result is the same however, and likely by design.

Not only did 8 years of opposition ultimately help to elect Trump and a majority in Congress, but they’re on the brink of picking a Supreme Court nominee who they have no business or right to do after obstructing Obama’s pick for nearly a year.
The GOP’s strategy of obstructionism restricted economic growth, slowed the economic recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression, and continues to deprive millions of access to health insurance.
Not sure that the Democrat strategy should be absolute obstructionism to the GOP, but the Democrats better start acting as though they’re the ones who have a majority of Americans behind them and their demand to protect and preserve civil and voting rights for all Americans.
That means getting a leg up on fighting for every fucking seat in Congress and all the local elections, starting now. Challenge the GOP at every opportunity - show that they’ve picked a bunch of extremist incompetents who are intent on sabotaging government and all the good works that it does. Power to the people?
Yeah, making sure that everyone can vote is power to the people. The GOP hates people who vote, since they can’t win elections without suppressing the vote.
Power to the people? The GOP hates SSM and equal rights for minorities, because when everyone has the same rights that white guys have taken for granted, those special white snowflakes think that they’re now being deprived of something.

But the media will insist that the small group were the bulk of the protests and portray the opposition to Trump as violent liberals who are so bitter over losing that they’re prepared to burn everything down.

Here’s everything Donald Trump has promised to do on his first day as president https://t.co/yVdKGXH0SB
— Dr. Matt (@DrMatthew) January 20, 2017
Just a few of the things:
“Repeal every single Obama executive order.” (He has also pledged more specifically to “eliminate every unconstitutional executive order.”)
“Repeal Obamacare.” (On Trump’s campaign website, he’s less bullish, promising only to “ask Congress” on day one to repeal Obamacare immediately.)
“End the war on coal.”
“Begin swiftly removing criminal illegal immigrants from this country.” (More specifically, Trump has promised to do this in his “first hour” in office, “day one, before the wall, before anything.”)
“Begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall.”
Meet with Homeland Security officials and generals to begin securing the southern border.
“Notify all countries that refuse to take back dangerous illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in this country that they will lose access to our visa programs if they continue to do so.”
Convene his top generals and inform them they have 30 days to come up with a plan to stop ISIS.
Fix the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Call the heads of major companies who are moving operations oversea to inform them that they’ll face 35 percent tariffs.
“Contact countries and say…’Folks, we love protecting you, we want to continue to protect you but you’re not living up to the bargain’…They’re not paying what they’re supposed to be paying—which is very little, by the way.”
“Defend the unborn.”
re: #42 lawhawk
If there’s one thing I’m upset with Obama over, it’s the abject failure to draw more attention to this from the get-go in a way that would’ve penetrated the bunker-wall-thick skulls of “swing” voters. They blamed him for the consequences of GOP obstruction while rewarding the actual perpetrators.
If this election proved nothing else, it’s that waiting for the American public to figure things out on their own is a fool’s errand.
re: #42 lawhawk
So, in reference to your summary of GOP obstructionism and how Democrats need to get out and challenge as many government seats as possible:
How many people here will vow today to prepare to run for office (dogcatcher, city council, cemetery board, school board, name it). I’m betting close to zero.
LGF has thousands of members. How many are elected to any position at all besides me, in uber-red Western Nebraska?

So, when he had large crowds at his rallies, it was proof how popular he was and now he has a historic low turnout at his inauguration and it’s “benefiting peace.” How about this. Trump has limited appeal and he benefitetd from a low turn out election and a campaign of misinformation that benefitted him. He won’t be so lucky in 2020.

re: #97 Belafon
Let me ask you a serious question on this: How much would I need to know to run for school board? If I were to pick one of those that I’m the best fit for, it would be School Board. But even then, I’m not up to speed on what the school board does? Should I wait and learn more first. There are elections coming up, and for me to sign up I would need to do so soon.
The first thing to do would be to attend school board meetings and find out what the specific board does.
Most public schools however run pretty much the same way: The board approves regulations, funding, &c. It actually isn’t much different than any other board with one distinction: School boards usually approve the curricula used in school classrooms.
You probably know at least basic information about your local schools already: Where they are successful, where they need improvement.
Go ahead and sign up. Running a local campaign can be very inexpensive (or even not cost anything). As you’re running, talk to the voters and find out what they want to see in their schools. Tailor your plans to what the voters want.
Even if you lost the election, that would give you skills and experience for another election (whether the school board again or another position).

But even then, I’m not up to speed on what the school board does? Should I wait and learn more first. There are elections coming up, and for me to sign up I would need to do so soon.
A second question (which I know from personal experience) is: How much is the filing fee you have to pay in order to run?
Both paid and unpaid elected positions in my county (including school board and others) cost at least $50 to file. Running for higher offices, the fees increase to $200 for state rep/sen/judge and $500 for other state level office (like governor) and US Rep/Sen.
$50 may not mean much to most people, but my county has a poverty level of almost 30%. It’s a lot of money to a lot of people.

re: #113 Backwoods_Sleuth
Varies by state, in Virginia there’s no filing fee unless you have to run in a primary in which case it’s 2% of the position’s salary.
Check with Secretary of State or Board of Elections or similar agency.

An acquaintance was complaining that she got called out at 2AM to retrieve her drunk 29 year old son from what she described as a “Duck Dynasty/biker house” in, of course, a local suburb. She said the residents were very polite, possibly because she was toting her customary shotgun.

Kinda makes you take a step back and then ask out loud “why would somebody PAY to file to run for an elected office that DOES NOT PAY a salary?”

Filing fees where I live are zero for local offices, but this is not Texas.
Looking at the Texas Secretary of State Website, filing fees are waved if you are successful in getting enough signatures on a petition.
The best thing on that would be to call the county clerk and ask what the fee is. If it is too expensive for you, hit up a relative or something for some money, or try the petition route.
Local office fees are listed here, but school board is not on the list. (Maybe that means there is no fee?)
re: #113 Backwoods_Sleuth
I just double-checked…school board in Kentucky only costs $20 to file to run.

Something else to consider—which offices are partisan races vs. non-partisan. More chance of winning in a non-partisan election.

But before Graham delivered his interpretation, Florida Democrat Lois Frankel’s mother texted her and said, “Even God is crying,” according to Illinois Democrat Cheri Bustos, who was sitting next to Frankel.
For Bustos, though, the moment that stood out happened before Trump’s speech. A GOP colleague sitting in front of her was taking out his “Make America Great Again” hat and she asked to see it.
“And I look at the tag and the ‘Make America Great Again’ hat was made in China,” she said.
That moment was particularly poignant because Trump throughout the campaign and during his Inauguration speech talked about making products in America again, one of the few moments that actually drew applause from Democrats.
“There’s this disconnect between what he says and what he does,” Bustos said.
Bustos was sitting with Republican colleagues to her left and Democratic colleagues to her right. “So you literally, you could get the feel from all different angles,” she said.
While Democrats didn’t applaud throughout much of the speech, they were not actively protesting. Bustos said she only saw one Democratic member who remained seated as Trump was announced as the president, whom she did not identify.

A funny thing happened at my very large, very diverse tech company today.
We showed up in the morning because we wanted to work and get away from the crazy. We were having a good day. Then it started. The elevators we ride on have a newsfeed…Trump. The onsite Starbucks had it on, the cafes. Then the one Trumper on my floor turned it on in the break room and started bleating. She’s been unbearable this whole time.
So, we all kinda decided together to leave campus. I mean, we can work from home or anywhere with wifi. Why stay around and be surrounded by it?
Everyone left. Just packed up and walked out.
I was one of the last ones out..was on a call with my boss who declined to come in at all. Got out of the phone room and no one was there. Went by the break room on my way out and the Trumpista was still there, watching TV. She’d been there the whole time and had no idea the office has emptied out behind her. Over 100 people, easily, gone.
I was highly amused.

I would point out that is not my position. That is hers. She is firmly of the position that birthing a child now is cruel to the child. That is something I am not going to move her from. She is in fact anti-choice in the sense that a child born now, in her opinion, is being born into sure death.
You said you would question whether people having children now had thought it all the way through. You said that in the comment I replied to, if you want to go back and check.
I did not address your wife’s position because she is not here and I am not going to try to debate with her through you. I addressed your words describing how you felt.
I respect the right of anyone to make their own decisions when it comes to having or not having children based on whatever reasons they choose, up to and including what is happening in the world. Period. End of discussion. I don’t look askance at pregnant women right now and wonder if they’ve thought it all the way through because guess what, I have no fucking clue what’s led to that point. Neither do you.
And seriously, for most women who are showing, the pregnancy started well before the election. I guess they should have put it off in case the worst case scenario came to pass, in order to be sure they thought it through all the way? That’s really easy to do when you’re struggling to conceive, I’m sure.
I don’t want children. I want abortion to remain a safe and legal option. And I want ALL women to have the right to make their own reproductive choices without uninvolved parties feeling it is their right to offer commentary, judgment, and critique of those choices.

I might also point out that ever since the introduction of reliable modern birth control it has been a “bad time to bring children into the world.” In part I blame people who insist every married person really, really should have kids, because then someone who doesn’t want to have kids is forced to defend their position, which is silly. When and if to have kids is a personal decision which then needs to be supported by society in general.

Now just imagine if Michelle did that! Fox News would have been in meltdown demanding HER impeachment!
But when a Republican does it… more asskissing from Fox…
My 11 and 14 year-old boys were depressed earlier and their dad wasn’t much better. I texted them this:
He has been elected to assume the title of president. We have had good ones and bad ones. We respect the office of the presidency but we do not have to respect the man or woman that holds it as a human being.
Our greatest moral leaders and thinkers….Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Alexander Hamilton, Susan B. Anthony, Jackie Robinson, and so many others were never presidents. We have occasionally had great moral leaders as presidents but it’s rare. Lincoln. FDR. Obama. We have been fortunate to have one as our president for 8 years.
Leadership is about who you are as a PERSON, not the title you have next to your name. President Obama will always be a true moral leader. Trump will fade into history and no one will be erecting statues of him to honor him or having national holidays to celebrate him as a person. No one will march in an elementary school parade in 30 years with him as their hero.

Well, that’s impressive. We’ve had a couple fairly brief thunderstorms up here in the Bay Area in the last couple days, but no tornadoes.
This is a great essay!
An excerpt:
…But Donald Trump will not be a president. He’ll just have the president’s toys. And there will be very few who will be able to anticipate his moods, very few who will be able to stay on his good side. He is Veruca Salt in a bloated white man’s meat suit.
Veruca thought she deserved everything. Her tantrums and demands were what people often mistake for agency. For the will of someone to act upon the world. Deep in this misunderstanding is how we allowed Donald Trump to put the American presidency to rest. We presumed he had the right to run. We might disagree with him. We might despise his politics, his irrepressible racism and misogyny, his open mockery of the disabled, his loathing for complete sentences and thoughts, his inability to formulate anything resembling a political policy. But whatever our feelings, we had to accept that he had the right to run the presidency into the ground. Because we could always vote. And when the nation spoke (a tiny portion of the nation, mind you), our tradition of honoring the triumph of one person’s agency over another’s left us essentially without recourse…

And I found out a few years later about the Thomas Mann book of the same name (Magic Mountain). No relation to the theme park, presumably.
In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality. The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that pulses with life in the midst of death.

Then there are totally random ‘reasons’ for reactions: One of my grandmothers was born very near where Melania’s from. (My grandmother was conceived in West Virginia, where her father was a coal miner though, then her mom went home to the farm to give birth.)

So, in reference to your summary of GOP obstructionism and how Democrats need to get out and challenge as many government seats as possible:
How many people here will vow today to prepare to run for office (dogcatcher, city council, cemetery board, school board, name it). I’m betting close to zero.
LGF has thousands of members. How many are elected to any position at all besides me, in uber-red Western Nebraska?
I take offense to your comment. Why should anyone/everyone vow to you to anyway?
I’m 62 heading for 63. I’m not about to launch a career in politics with all the other things I have to do like finish the old house I own that is my retirement. And I also have goals as an artist and musician.
There are other ways to support politics than running for office. I plan on doing those things too.
Also, I live in a city of close to a million people. It would be very tough to get a start and have any recognition now. It is quite different that living in a village of a few hundred.

Indeed, this was really all the Tea Party was ever about - white revanchism. It was born in a rant by a commodities trader at the prospect of the Government - which had just bailed out the Finance industry - doing something to help homeowners who were underwater and/or unable to pay their mortgages.
Why? Because in their minds, those bad mortgages were taken out by undeserving minorities, and the banks were forced to write them by Jimmy Carter and Barney Frank, while the Republican majorities in the House and Senate were powerless to do anything.

We’ve done terrible things in the past but we always strive to d better and so our best days are always ahead.
Yeah, well. That was a nice thought, wasn’t it? The crowd that’s now running things firmly believes that our best days were back when we did some of the worst things, and that the fact that we stopped doing those things is why we became, somehow, less great.
If we fail to resist, I’ll lose my pride.
If we accept this as normal, I’ll lose my pride.
We’re made up of humans, just like any other country. Humans sometimes make really boneheaded mistakes. It’s how you respond that counts.
If we fuck up the response, I’ll lose my pride. But I’m not giving up yet.

re: #367 Blind Frog Belly White
Indeed, this was really all the Tea Party was ever about - white revanchism. It was born in a rant by a commodities trader at the prospect of the Government - which had just bailed out the Finance industry - doing something to help homeowners who were underwater and/or unable to pay their mortgages.
Why? Because in their minds, those bad mortgages were taken out by undeserving minorities, and the banks were forced to write them by Jimmy Carter and Barney Frank, while the Republican majorities in the House and Senate were powerless to do anything.
Yep. My wingut brother blames Barney Frank for everything that has ever gone wrong since time immemorial.

Yep. My wingut brother blames Barney Frank for everything that has ever gone wrong since time immemorial.
I’ve heard it a gazillion times - the whole Mortgage Bubble and subsequence financial crisis were Barney Frank’s fault.
When I’d point out that Frank was in the MINORITY PARTY, in the strictly majoritarian House, and ask how someone in that position was able to stop the MAJORITY party from doing anything, they’d post a link to some video. Never - not once - did any of them point to any legislation that the GOP had proposed, or any rule change or anything the GOP did to prevent it. They would occasionally say that the House GOP caucus ‘knew’ they couldn’t pass anything, so they never proposed it.

My marketing work is with homebuilders, who supported the mortgage premium cut because hey, they like being able to sell houses. We even just published blogs this week across several builders talking about how the FHA mortgage premium cut would help homeowners and save them money in the long run.
Today we had to take everything down and reverse course until someone with a brain can convince the jabbering fuckwits who will now run HUD that they really don’t want to make it harder to sell homes to the middle class.
I’m curious how many of them voted for Trump.

I’m going to do my best to pretend he doesn’t exist, in a lot of ways, at least when it comes to people in that family I pay attention to. He shouldn’t be in the news or photographed at all unless it is a formal event like this - and even then, I’m not going to comment on it.
It’s the same approach I’ve tried to take toward the Obama kids, as much as possible.

I was thinking about that today, wondering if Barron’s dad is teaching him to bully, to try to intimidate based on his (father’s) position: “If anyone picks on you tell them your dad’s the president.” I can easily imagine Von ClownStick saying it. Obama? Never in a million years. I can almost see the poor kid trying it: “Do you know who I am??” Which will immediately make any bad reaction 100 times worse.

I watched one of my U of M professors get hit with a cream pie in front of a couple hundred students while he was lecturing. It was incredibly humiliating for him. There was a rumor he was going to get it at some point, but it was really a shock when it actually happened.
True story. There were postings around campus for a ‘company’ called Pie Kill Ltd. You could hire them to hit someone with a cream pie. I don’t know how many people they actually hit, but it was enough to make it a real thing.
