Make America Hate Again

http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/24/media/trump-breitbart-white-house/index.html

Julia Hahn, who covered immigration issues for Breitbart through an aggressively anti-immigration lens, has been named special assistant to the president, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNNMoney.

Sebastian Gorka, the site's national security editor and a policy consultant on Trump's presidential campaign, has joined the Trump White House in a yet-to-be-announced role, a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed. Business Insider, which was first to report the move, said Gorka will likely have a role on Trump's National Security Council.

 

[Horns]

Sickening

 

[RPGCrazied]

And don't forget Bannon, damn, the white house really is in control of fucking Breitbart.

 

[Sakujou]

the US is going to be the greatest country of all time. hiring high profile staff is the RIGHT direction.
will we have better media-coverage than 1933-1945?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Oh.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The reanimated corpse of Adolf Hitler has also been named Chief of the Looming Zombie Apocalypse, though it's thought to be a ceremonial title.

Thought.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I'm tired.

How do I keep myself from giving up.

 

[RinsFury]

What the fuck.

This is so. goddamn. tiring.

 

[Blader]

Julia Hahn has been especially scathing to Paul Ryan. Can't imagine he'll love this. :lol

 

[Whompa02]

Fuck it...

 

[effzee]

I still can't believe this is all happening. Everyday I feel like I will wake up from this mess.

 

[jelly]

The only hope is they over step so much a massive push back against them will happen and maybe they all go down.

 

[slit]

Only 2? That is surprising.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Hmm, don't think I know of this Breitbart. Someone fill me in quickly on this?

 

[VanquishUK]

4 days into the Trump administration and I can't take anymore.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I'm tired.

How do I keep myself from giving up.

Women's March was enough to give me hope that if we go down, it's not without a fight

Expect resistance

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Julia Hahn has been especially scathing to Paul Ryan. Can't imagine he'll love this. :lol

As long as Ryan still gets to take away health care from poor people its all good.

 

[hypernima]

Has a media outlet ever been this entrenched with an administration before?

 

[Linkark07]

I'm tired.

How do I keep myself from giving up.

I already have a headache.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Wow

 

[RinsFury]

I'm tired.

How do I keep myself from giving up.

If you find out let me know. I've lost all hope. Just want to sleep these awful days away.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I really feel sorry for people with young kids. They have to grow up in this mess. I was thankful to live a few decades without it being as bad as it is now.

 

[Jackpot]

Literal white power members running the country.

 

[SiteSeer]

Women's March was enough to give me hope that if we go down, it's not without a fight

Expect resistance

marching is one thing but its the voters that really matter. these marchers have to go to the poles and vote in their agenda.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Maybe if I identify as trans racial I won't live in utter fear. My name is Harrison Booth. I'm white. What IPAs do you have on tap?.

 

[xxracerxx]

marching is one thing but its the voters that really matter. these marchers have to go to the poles and vote in their agenda.

This notion that the people who marched didn't/won't vote is getting a little much.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Next will be most of the press room. Slowly but surely.

 

[Tugatrix]

I wonder why they haven't hire anyone from trump university

 

[RPGCrazied]

Next will be most of the press room. Slowly but surely.

CNN/MSNBC and NYT will be the first to go, no doubt.

 

[epmode]

What the fuck is going on and why is no one stopping it?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Next will be most of the press room. Slowly but surely.

They've already started putting in fake news outlets like lifezette and the oann or whatever the fuck they are called. Next will be to slowly stop taking questions from real news outlets.

 

[TheCochese]

Next will be most of the press room. Slowly but surely.

I think that won't happen for awhile. Not overtly. For now, they still have news organizations that won't go full throttle for fear of losing access. When they do lose access, they will salt the earth.

 

[smokeymicpot]

CNN/MSNBC and NYT will be the first to go, no doubt.

Buzzfeed will be the first ones gone. Then it will trickle down to see what they can do. The first question being asked yesterday by the NY post says a lot.

They are already in the press room and the site that made shit up about Clinton asked a question today. Just easing it in for complete control.

 

[Metalingus5150]

What the fuck is going on and why is no one stopping it?

This is the real america.

 

[RPGCrazied]

What the fuck is going on and why is no one stopping it?

Republicans showing their true colors? They never had a dictator before. They are just lust with power.

 

[LiK]

This continues to become worse. More marches please

 

[Whompa02]

What the fuck is going on and why is no one stopping it?

Because they're all surrounding themselves. We just have to live with it. We can protest (I did) but at the end of the day, nobody is going to question their own ethics.

 

[Angelus Errare]

What the fuck is going on and why is no one stopping it?

Well we had a great chance to prevent all of this on Nov 8th. But purity tests, protest votes, apathy, emails, "Doesn't 100% represent me", "I can't get a drink with her" votes made sure of this future.

So....here we are. Personally I'm hoping that many of the aforementioned voters are affected the worst by this administration, but I know they'll be the least affected.

Trump's selections for his staff and cabinet are:

Oil Tycoons
Family members
Conservative media company staffers and CEO
An Anti-vaxxer
Anti-FCC lobbyists
Climate-Change Deniers
A couple Billionaires
Some WallStreet Recession Bailout bankers
A couple Generals
A Pro Wrestling Company Co-owner
And a single Neurosurgeon who thinks Pyramids were built to store grain.

...who did I miss?

 

[ghostofsparta]

another day, another life ruined

 

[Akuun]

Hmm, don't think I know of this Breitbart. Someone fill me in quickly on this?

A news company that is effectively a Trump propaganda machine. Spews either spun articles or outright lying articles supporting racism, sexism, Gamergate, and all sorts of other hateful shit.

Top members of Breitbart have been working for Trump's campaign organization as advisors and the like while he was campaigning, and now he's bringing a bunch of them into the White House. There are a lot of deep ties between Trump and Breitbart.

 

[epmode]

This is the real america.

i'm seriously considering a move. This is out of control.

 

[Avixph]

I thought that Trump frozen the hiring of new government employees.

 

[deadlast]

What were Ws first days in office like? I don't remember this much chaos.

 

[LionPride]

i'm seriously considering a move. This is out of control.

Fuck that moving shit.

We've never had someone this damaged before. Nor have we ever had someone with absolutely no political experience.

 

[fart town usa]

CNN/MSNBC and NYT will be the first to go, no doubt.

I hear what you're saying but CNN, MSNBC, and the NYT are hardly examples of stellar journalism. Especially CNN and MSNBC. Some NYT writers do great pieces but the editorial board is consistently questionable in their sources and integrity.

 

[Avixph]

Pretty soon the people are going to have to take matters into their own hands.
