New York Times: Trump asked advisers about possible strike on Iranian nuclear site
President Donald Trump last week asked senior aides what possibilities he had for an offensive strike on Iran's primary nuclear site, The New York Times reported Monday.www.cnn.com
i called it months ago. mufucka will try and start a war to stay in power.....
Kushner and Don Jr. probably had him hyped up for a December surprise...
That's not his purpose though. He wants to throw as much red meat to his supporters as possible on his way out the door. If Republican had any balls/integrity. They would declare Trump unfit to serve but they are also unfit to serve, so..
Naw my point is that he is low level sleaze with money and would fit right in with the old 42nd st crowd. Everybody that he hires and the people closest to him are the same. Fucking Rudy "I fucked and married my counsin" Guiliani, Michael Cohen, etc...
What is the main appeal of Donald Trump? I am trying to see both sides of the argument and was interested to hear the opinions of people who consider themselves ardent conservatives. Hearing dissenting opinions is important and is why I am asking.
After seeing Trump’s post-defeat tantrum through the last week I think I finally get him.
Follow along the bullet-points below. (Because, no matter whether you get anything substantive in my answers, you’ll get bullet points)
· In a hyper-capitalistic socio-economic framework wealth is prized, and revered.
· Wealth, in a most cases is accumulated through
o Ventures that need certain skills.
o Skills that need a certain level of education.
o Education that brings in a façade of erudition,
o Erudition that introduces class.
· Donald Trump represents a niche genre of wealth — wealth without erudition or class.
o Class — is exclusionary. That is why Bill Gates is not the poster-boy of success according to vox populi, despite being super-wealthy.
o Wealth — is inclusive. Wealth without class is even more so. That is why Donald Trump has the potential of being the poster-boy of wealth-without-class and prospective reverence from the masses.
· Donald Trump, exploited that potential with surgeon’s precision.
o No matter you like it or not, victimhood narrative is extremely popular, specially among some conservatives in USA.
§ I am being oppressed for being a man/
§ I am being oppressed for my faith/[1]
§ I am being oppressed as a white man because there’s a black-mermaid movie/
§ I am being oppressed as a man because someone made a ghostbusters movie featuring girls. [2]
§ I am being oppressed by the elites … big tech/ big corporate/ big media. [3]
o He played the narrative of I am being oppressed for lacking a certain class— exceptionally well. This narrative landed perfectly with his rural base, who thought — ‘I relate with what he is saying’.
Summary of the above bullet points, in two bullet points:
In conclusion:
· Trump’s appeal is— wealth without ‘class’
· Being able to play the perpetual victim, through the narrative of —
‘I am victimized for lacking ‘class’, by the elites (people with class)’ — something that would bode well with his rural base.

That level of snitching is a definite hood violation punishable by getting jumped, maimed, or killed.
This, and I hope I'm wrong but I think trump walks too. White people don't pay in this country, if it was obama then they would have executed him in front of the washington monument and sold tickets and pay per view.Seems like this is going to be a nothing burger. Right now, it’s completely hearsay unless Raffensperger has Lady G on tape and it’s clear that Graham was trying to get him to toss legally casted ballots. Unless some magical evidence pops up, then we can’t expect anything to happen. It only adds to what we already think of Lady G. And it can’t possibility get any lower.
Raffensperger did snitch though. Blatant snitching too.
Is there such a thing as moderate homosexual? There’s no moderate Republican and shame on Maryland for electing such a clown.
To pay for the deficit he created for those phones and that medical plans he gave away to Mexicans.

People of color make up nearly half of Biden transition team

(CNN)As President-elect Joe Biden prepares to take office in January, nearly half of the transition team laying the groundwork for his administration is made up of people of color, and women are in the majority.
Forty-six percent of the transition staff are people of color, according to new diversity data of the transition team provided to CNN, and 41% of the senior staff are people of color. The majority of transition staff -- 52% -- are women, and 53% of the senior staff are women.
The new diversity figures come as Biden is set to announce his Cabinet picks and senior staff for the White House in the coming weeks -- one of the first tests of his campaign pledge to build an administration that will "look like America."
Biden's first major step toward diversity in his administration came when he selected Kamala Harris, a Black and South Asian woman, as his vice president. In his first staffing announcement, Biden chose a White man and longtime adviser -- Ron Klain -- as his chief of staff for the White House.
The transition team's diversity also extends to its advisory board -- where 43% are people of color and 52% are women. Nine of the 13 members of Biden's Covid-19 advisory board are people of color and five of the members are women, according to the data.
Last week, the transition team announced its agency review teams despite the General Services Administration not yet recognizing Biden as the winner of the election. The teams consist of roughly 500 people, more than half of whom are women. About 40% of the team "represent communities historically underrepresented in the federal government," a transition official said, which includes people of color, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities.
Biden to take characteristically deliberative approach to filling Cabinet
"For months, the Biden-Harris transition has laid the groundwork for a Biden-Harris administration, and at the core of that work is an unrelenting commitment to diversity," said Ted Kaufman, co-chair of the Biden-Harris transition. "As we continue working full-speed ahead to Inauguration, our diverse group of leaders and staff are reflective of America -- upholding President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris' belief that through diverse voices we can develop and implement a policy vision to tackle our nation's toughest challenges."
The diversity figures mirror that of Biden's presidential campaign, which in September said 46% of its full-time staff and 40% of its senior staff were people of color. Women made up a greater share of Biden's campaign -- 59% -- than the current makeup of the transition team, according to the transition.
A transition official said the team provides weekly updates to its leadership to track the progress made in its diversity.
Biden has repeatedly promised that ensuring diversity in his administration and his Cabinet will be a top priority.
"My administration's going to look like America, not just my staff, the administration from the vice president straight down through Cabinet members to major players within the White House, and the court," Biden said during a June townhall focusing on issues tied to the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. "It's going to be a reflection of who we are as a nation."
The Joe Biden DOJ need to grab that dude once they take over

Naw bruh, asking someone to break the law is criminal solicitation. The person exposing it is a primary witness of the crime. Hearsay would involve the testimony of a third party not present.Seems like this is going to be a nothing burger.
