What the hell is the Nation of Islam?
Edit: Nevermind, it's an actual organization. I just thought for a moment it was more right-wing generalization of the middle east.
And this is why succumbing to the republican smear machine is a dumb move.

If only swing-state Democrats got off their asses and voted.
Didn't she herself held of accusations against Trump until after the elections? Can't feel much sympathy for her.
I'm responding to Hillary's win margin in CA.
Yeah...
Something that only occurred to me a few minutes ago:
Neo-Nazis in the White House, and American Nazi Party chairman endorsing Trump and his administration.
Israelis and the Israel government must be fucking scared. The country has had a close relationship with the US, even with Obama's dislike of settlements. But now? Who/Where do they turn to?
Thought I quoted the original post. My bad.

The NCGOP actually just said they're not going to do that, so I'm suspicious if it'll actually come to fruition.
It's actually hilarious that they will continue to do this while the president-elect hires literal Neo-Nazis and they say nothing.
And by hilarious I mean deeply depressing.

Yep. This GOP is using protection of Israel as an excuse to bulldoze Palestine into the sea. Once that's done, who knows what they focus on?

I mean, maybe 6 million people voted for Trump because they're marks and not because they wanted a Nazi in the White House, but that's like 10% of Trump's support.
I wish I could see into Bibi's brain right now.
Even with Trump's utter hatred of Muslims, this has to be terrifying for him.

Yeah, and for Jews in America, too... One of the guys on my Facebook is Jewish and lives in LA. I straight-up don't know what to say to him, other than "Ohmygod it's so bad". Which feels a bit of an understatement, y'know?
Relevant:
Anti-Defamation League decries Stephen Bannon, while many other Jewish groups stay silent
This... Really feels bad. I mean, just... Are people just too stunned to know what to do?

Hillary's the only one who said what was up. and she was running for president. None of the "he listened to the anger of white people" mess.
We keep getting confirmation that Trump wasn't vetted by the press properly, I mean goddamn dude. How do you fuck up your job that bad? One job, one goddamn job and it didn't get done.

Hillary was like the first national politician like... ever to be willing to say "lots of Americans have no decency."
Hillary 2016 was the first non-PC national politician America has ever seen and probably the last too.

I'm genuinely wondering if any person of color will get a position in the White House this time around.
Not saying I want Ben Carson anywhere near it, but the point stands.

I mean, Democrats controlled the House and Senate during Nixon's presidency. I don't have high hopes even for basic oversight.
Hillary herself (ignoring her campaign here) is going to have a shit-ton of revisionism hit her image in the next 4 years. I can see her "deplorables" comment being prescient in so many ways... 60 million+ people voted for someone when they were told over and over how bad he was.
I can get behind the Racist A/B hypothesis, but I think the number of actual Racist A deplorables is going to be 40 million+. There ain't a basket big enough for that many.
Oh, that Kander, he's a funny fellow.
Doubtful. israel has the US government eating out of a dog bowl.
Remember, though, Breitbart was a Jew and now Breitbart's senior whatever is a Jew.

my friend told me that "hillary said black lives matter, talked about implicit bias, and understood that half of this country was basically unsalvageable in their disgusting beliefs." she truly shook the table.

I like many others, are very concerned about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program getting wiped out. I whipped up and sent in this letter today to my Republican congressman and Senator Booker, and I advise (implore) others affected by this issue to do the same. Feel free to use my letter as a base.

Yeahhhh... Right now, but I can't see that staying for long. Because previous administrations understood how shook Jews were by the Holocaust, they've been very wary of pushing anything against the concept of a Jewish state. Now, maybe modern Neo-Nazis (unlike the 80s ones in the UK) love Jews enough to not want their extermination, but that seems... Unlikely.

There is absolutely no way that will happen. Unless Pence is videod assaulting someone at the same time as Trump, he will be president. Let's not forget that Nixon abused the powers of the office to attack his political opponents, and his VP still took over. It's how the system is set up.

Richard Nixon's VP resigned. Ford took over after the Nixon Administration was on its way out. So if we go by Nixon, Pence is screwed.
If they find the Trump administration was committing fraud, there's very little chance Pence gets out. There's no way Pence wouldn't have known about it going on.
It's unlikely that just one aspect of the administration remains untainted. Corruption spreads quickly.
What do you think Trump supporters want more: The extermination of Israel or the extermination of Palestine and Iran?
Even the NeoNazis would got for palestine.

As B-Dubs said before, I think Democrats need someone shiny and charismatic to run in 2020. Who, though? If Trump acts the way we expect him to and with the Senate as the last line of defense, I think someone who shows strength there standing up to Trump and Republicans would set up a 2020 run. I don't think it should be Warren or Sanders.
I don't know much about Harris, Duckworth, and Cortez Masto, but they would be shiny new to the national American public. Hassan would too but there's nothing charismatic about her.

I can only imagine the insults Trump would throw to Duckworth if she was his opponent.

Thank you for posting this - I will definitely be writing and calling my representatives about PSLF.
"Why not both?" would be the easy answer to that. I'm not sure if Steve "I don't want my children going to school with Jews" Bannon could suppress his anti-semitism long enough.
And their bean pies are pretty yummy too.

Well yes and no.
NoI is a racist, black supremacist organization. It was founded in a reaction to white racism. The civil rights and black youth movement in the 60's fueled the rise of black power groups like NoI and black panthers party. Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali joined NoI because they were fierce in their opposition to white supremacy and NoI provided the outlet. However, read up on Warith Deen Muhammad. He recognized the inequality taught by NoI and sought to slowly remove the racist elements from within. He's responsible for tuning out hundreds of thousands of prospective NoI members from the cult toward traditional Sunni Islam. Even turning NoI temples into traditional Islamic mosques. Louis Farrakhan was the disciple of early NoI rulers (Wallace Fard Muhammad, Hon. Elijah Muhammad) and sought to instill the black supremacy back into NoI. He ousted Warith Deen from the church, and NoI became the racist black movement again (which it still is today). However, it's numbers are so miniscule they can be easily ignored (thanks to Warith's work).
But blaming early black leaders for joining BPP or NoI and holding them to it is shortsighted (as Fox News is doing right now). Yes, it should be mentioned if someone was part of NoI. But it should also be just as important to learn at which points (Elijah Muhammad's time, Warith Deen's time or Farrakhan?) and whether they renounced their NoI views. Both Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali saw the inequality of NoI's message. Malcolm X's thoughts on NoI and race relations are so eye opening and relevant even to this day. His journey to Mecca is something out of a fairy tale, as the curtain from his eyes slowly gets pulled away. His autobiography is a must read for everyone on poligaf.

Not for nothing but there's clearly no obvious candidate now and there isn't much to discuss about it. It's okay. Obama was only talked about in 2004 as a maybe 2012/2016 future star. Nobody was talking about Bill Clinton in 1988 except for his spectacularly terrible DNC speech. In fact no one was really talking about Bill Clinton until, like, 1992.

An unprovoked war with a middle eastern country would be the end of the Trump administration.
I don't think our country is ready for war again. The Iraq war dragged on forever, and still isn't even fully cleaned up.
And I believe John Edwards was looking bright for 2008, right? Haha, we dodged a bullet there.
It would have been an embarrassment of the Kerry administration.

Nixons VP resigned before Nixon, for a totally unrelated matter (bribery and tax evasion). Ford was selected as VP by Nixon and confirmed before watergate destroyed him.
(Ford was only house minority leader at the time, not majority).
