Donald Trump will disappoint and disillusion his far-right supporters by eschewing white supremacy, according to some of the movement’s own intellectual leaders.
Activists who recently gave Nazi salutes and shouted “hail Trump” at a gathering in Washington will revolt when the new US president fails to meet their expectations, the leaders told the Guardian.
The prospect of such disillusion and internecine squabbling may console liberals who fear a White House tinged with racism and quasi-fascism. All the more reassuring because it comes from far-right influencers and analysts, not wishful progressives.
Instead of enjoying proximity to power, according to this analysis, vocal parts of the loose coalition known as the “alt-right” could remain on the political fringe, wondering what happened to their triumph.
Jared Taylor, a white supremacist who runs the self-termed “race-realist” magazine American Renaissance, said the president-elect had already backpedalled on several pledges that had fired up the far-right. “At first he promised to send back every illegal immigrant. Now he is waffling on that.”
David Cole, a self-proclaimed Holocaust revisionist and Taki magazine columnist, envisaged the movement sliding into bickering and in-fighting, stuck in “rabbit warrens” of online trolling rather than policy shaping. “In January Trump will start governing and will have to make compromises. Even small ones will trigger squabbles between the ‘alt-right’. ‘Trump betrayed us.’ ‘No, you’re betraying us for saying Trump betrayed us.’ And so on. The alt-right’s appearance of influence will diminish more and more as they start to fight amongst themselves.”
And here I thought I would have a hard time finding anything to put a smile on my face in the next four years.
I think watching Trump's racist base freaking out and start fighting among themselves when they find out that Trump has no intention of building a wall or sending all of the undocumented immigrants back to Mexico should provide hours of entertainment.
And you can bet I will document ALL of it.

“Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks. Thought it was going to be a smooth transition—NOT!”
“President-elect Trump, thank you for your warm friendship and your clear-cut support for Israel!”
As many of us are slowly (and sadly) coming to terms with the fact that President Barack Obama has almost completed his final term in the White House, some are making final requests of America’s much-loved President.
ReplyDeleteOne of the people who still think Obama can save America from Trump is retired MIT linguistics professor Noam Chomsky, who recently posted a plea to Obama to save undocumented immigrants from the incoming Trump administration. In a video message, Chomsky said:
“He should proceed to what is, in fact, an urgent necessity, to grant a general pardon to 11 million people who are living and working [in America], productive citizens… threatened with deportation by the incoming administration.”
If Obama pardoned all those people, Trump’s promise to deport 2-3 million undocumented immigrants would go out the window.
...If Obama does this…Trump can kiss all of his anti-immigration promises goodbye and will have to suffer the wrath of his racist supporters.

China Openly MOCKS Trump By Turning Him Into A Rooster, And It’s HILARIOUS (IMAGES)
ReplyDeleteTo help ring in the Chinese New Year, and with 2017 being the Year of the Rooster, China’s Shanxi province has turned Trump into a giant rooster.
The giant “Trump Rooster” statue features a rooster that looks startlingly like the president-elect. It has his infamous hair, angry scowl on its face, and even has the same hand gestures.
Check the statue out here:

Hilarious. It telegraphs all the dignity he possesses./s
DeleteLOL.
Delete"Tibetan Buddhism regards the rooster as an exceptionally ill-fated symbol. It appears in the centre of the Wheel of Life, alongside the hog and the snake, as one of the three poisons. It symbolizes lust, attachment and covetousness that put in motion the Wheel of the Law."
Lust, greed, covetousness. Yeah, sounds like Trump to me. He also displays anger and ignorance. So he's got all three of the Poisons working strong in him.
It also appears they've made him represent the absolute bottom of the quest for enlightenment. First of the three obstacles. Trump is so Deplorable he isn't close to enlightenment.

"The catch in all of this – and what makes the cycle so difficult to break out of – is that as long as we act out of our fundamental ignorance, our attempts to find happiness in a dualistic way simply reinforce our greed and anger and perpetuate further suffering."
That sounds amazingly like Trump. He is all about "I".
BTW love the hand gestures. The artist that designed this deserves a medal.
Trump is actually a DOG. 1946, a FIRE dog.

"There are Americans who would be happy to perform 'ethnic cleansing' of non-white parts of the US population" The election of Trump shows us that nearly half the voters are willing to overlook all sorts of authoritarian, racist, and sexist behaviors for the hope of regaining the respect they had living in a society where non-whites and women had significant barriers to economic and social justice."
"Trump's style is one where there are few friends for the long haul. It's why he wants his family as his close advisors. This is a Mafia like world view. Only family can be truly trusted."

DeleteAmericans pick Obama over Trump as ‘most admired’ man in 2016 — and it’s not even close
ReplyDeleteFormer Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton set a record in 2016 by being chosen as the most admired woman for the 21st time, Gallup said.

Conservative radio host: Trump isn’t smart enough to think beyond 140-character tweets
ReplyDelete“This is really going to symbolize the quality of this man’s thought,” he said. “I mean, there was a time when we had presidents who read books. Now we have presidents who write in 140-character messages.”
In fact, Sykes hinted that it wouldn’t make sense for Trump to try to use more traditional means of communication as president because his thoughts aren’t big enough to make them necessary.
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/conservative-radio-host-trump-isnt-smart-enough-to-think-beyond-140-character-tweets/
According to Gallup, 22% named Barack Obama as most admired man while 15% named Donald Trump. To make matters worse, Hillary Clinton, whom he often disparaged, is the most admired woman. It can only be salt rubbed into the wound when he is reminded that this is the 9th time Obama has won and the 21st time for Clinton.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the worst blow of all for Trump is that Democrats like Obama more than Republicans like Trump: “Fifty percent of Democrats named Obama as most admired, compared with 34% of Republicans choosing Trump.”
Trump, of course, enters the White House as the most unpopular President-elect in history.
Trump reacted violently to Obama’s claim that he could have won a third term, but this latest news doesn’t do anything for Trump’s argument. Given all the facts, Obama probably would have won.

DeleteIn September, Republican operative Jesse Benton was sentenced to two years of probation after he bought a senator’s endorsement while campaigning for Ron Paul in 2012. Less than a month later, according to a report from the Telegraph, Benton bragged to journalists of his ability to funnel $2 million to a pro-Trump PAC through his own company’s public affairs as a means to hide its origin.
ReplyDeleteLittle did Benton know, the people he was talking to were actually journalists who were disguised as Chinese associates of a benefactor; it is prohibited by law for foreign nationals to donate to any U.S. federal election.

As a handful of reporters labored to expose Donald Trump’s fictions, the rest became red-meat props for his campaign. Worse were those who willingly played Trump’s game, in a mockery of their profession.
ReplyDeleteNever before has half a nation developed post-traumatic stress disorder over the elevator plunge of a single night. It was like a bloodless 9/11, the blue-state edition. The night was November 8, when the returns flooded in from the presidential election and—you know the rest.

Fantasizing that Trump’s inner circle will fail, and that Trump will pluck him from political exile to pick up the pieces, marks a sad epitaph for the career of a man once considered a rising star within the Republican Party and its best hope to win the White House. But it is only the latest in a series of setbacks for Christie, whose humbling at the hands of the Trump campaign has often appeared to be personal.

Plus, where is the tape Tom Arnold keeps talking about?
