This is fucking terrifying. He's a snake. A treasonous, racist piece of shit.
Out with the old, in with the new? It sure seems like it.

I hope you're right. I think we'll see soon enough.

So, the Principals Committee (PC) of the National Security Council (NSC) is basically -- well, it's the main forum the President uses to discuss matters bearing on, wait for it, national security. It was established in the National Security Act of 1947.
Per law, the PC is attended by the President, VP, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of Energy (he has nukes, remember?). Additionally, the National Security Advisor and Secretary of the Treasury are also members.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Director of National Intelligence provide counsel to the NSC. Their roles are enshrined by statute, but they are not "statutory attendees" like the VP and Secretary of Defense.
The more shocking announcement is that Steve Bannon "may" attend all meetings.

This was beautifully written. Sharing this across my networks.
of course, why would he strain relationships with his Saudi overlords?

Anecdotal I know, but the military boys I know don't want to be seen as "liberal pussies" and always fall in line with whatever Trump says.

This is quickly becoming a literal version of 24 season 6 with them using schools as internment camps.
As far as I can tell, Bannon is by far the most intelligent man in Trump's administration ( a very low bar, I know haha), which makes him very dangerous. He has some really strange ideas on politics and when he gets going he sounds like a complete fucking lunatic who watches Fox News all day. Scary guy. Still can't believe his slimy paws are in the white house.

Chaos plays into their hand. They do not care about the turmoil the EOs produce.
I saw the thing about the Jews but not about the domestic abuse case. I'm surprised though that there aren't bigger journalistic investigations into his background considering his level of power now.

Trump talked about going after porn at some point during the election and signed some sort of pledge from what I recall. That would almost certainly piss off a few of them if he actually decided to keep that promise.
Huh? Who can authorize this? It can't be De Blasio can it.
Also could it be some incredibly boring thing like station overcrowding and the like? The last thing we need is a stampeded

That is minimising his role.
- defined trump speech strategy to divide people and inflame the left to build the rights anger
- heavily associated with data analytics firm that boasts it creates profiles on voters and pavlovian issues that trigger them
- ran unofficial neo-nazi fake news site, Brietbart
- a nexus to neo-nazi figures operating on the fringes.
- and probably a whole lot more we don't know.

Ahhh ok
Well fuck everything
It's not something I want it to come to, but at some point we have to remove Trump and everyone involved out of office entirely. 2018 can help to make sure we severely cut back on the number of GOP seats in both houses of congress, but I'm not sure if we can survive as a nation for four years with Bannon and Trump at the top, especially after the week we've already had.
Hopefully he'll be out before Christmas. Pence is bad news, but we can at least guess he'll walk back pretty much everything of Trump's outside of stricter abortion rules and an anti-LGBTQ stance. While not ideal, it's far far better than what we have now.
Edit: i feel sick even considering that.

I cannot tell is this is authoritarianism in action, or if they are acting out of public safety.
It is the NYPD, so it's hard to pinpoint where they fit.
It's probably a safety issue. de Blasio wouldn't have done this to try and shut down the protests.
I'm sure there were some smart Nazis.
Woooow.
Sounds like the NYPD.

A coup would completely destroy this country. I don't think that's "better." I still believe we can resolve this.
All you need are a few.

There were a large number of them really. The Reichstag fire for starters was fairly ingenious.

I think it's probably a safety issue too, regarding the Subway ban.

I imagine the area is reaching capacity, but there has got to be a better way than that
He should tell people that the area can't handle more people but keep protesting

Last I checked we had a first amendment in this country? Protesting is free speech, following the constitution my ass.

I could see it being a capacity thing. There are other ways to get to JFK.
Indeed. Angry people might take it the wrong way if it is clearly messaged. And even then...
Let's hope for the best, because otherwise things may get nasty quickly.
We can't. America is done either way. Better accept that fact soon.
what the hell
Hopefully you fix my grammar.
Heat of passion. My blood is boiling and I am livid.
And I saw that as a Republican who loathes what the GOP has become, as a man who resents everything Trump encourages in masculinity, as a Christian who cannot believe we'd violate our Muslim brothers and sisters' guarantee right to freedom of religion, and as a human being who felt this disgusting, racist, xenophobic, grossly inhumane treatment of others was left back in the dark ages where it belonged.
This is not okay. It is not normal. And I will not accept it or let the anger and cry for justice in my heart fade as I'm sure Trump and his cronies hope it does.
Quite the opposite; Trump is going to be quite upset to learn that the real patriots of the nation and the world are only getting started fighting back against his regime of bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance.
I only hope more people in positions of power grow a spine. Call your congressmen. Call your representatives. Remind them of their oaths of office. Have them recite their pledge to preserve and guarantee the rights and liberties of the constitution for all peoples - even Muslim ones. Shame them into action if you must.
But do not - I repeat - do not sit back idly and watch this circus play out. You are not in the stands. You are not bystanders. Citizens of the USA, you are on the center stage of the world right now, whether you want to be or not.
And what you do - or choose not to do - will determine the fate of your nation and millions of lives.
No pressure. Don't disappoint us.
