Notoriously anti-union McMahon appointed Small Business head yesterday, today anti-minimum wage CEO of Carl's Jr. for Labor Secretary coupled with a seemingly unprovoked attack on a union leader. None of these things are a coincidence.

What race and gender and class of people are typically in private sector unions again?

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's pick to be his national security adviser, claimed in an August radio interview that Arabic signs were present along the United States border with Mexico to guide potential state-sponsored terrorists and "radicalized Muslims" into the United States.

I can't even verbalize how fucking stupid this is.

I seriously apologize for the, well, crap source on this. Posting this because it's the only source available until a filing actually occurs.

A Democratic aligned PAC is claiming to be formally filing treason accusations against Trump, McConnel, Comey, and Giuliani.

Senate also intends on following up with the CIA claims that Russia did indeed interfere with the election.

In a rare joint statement Sunday, four high-profile Republican and Democratic senators called for a government investigation into the matter and urged colleagues not to allow the issue to become partisan.

“Recent reports of Russian interference in our election should alarm every American,” read a statement from Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.), committee member Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.); incoming Senate Minority Leader leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.). “Democrats and Republicans must work together, and across the jurisdictional lines of the Congress, to examine these recent incidents thoroughly and devise comprehensive solutions to deter and defend against further cyberattacks.”

You sure about that?

Not sure what all this means though. Realistically if a foreign power influences a US election in a major way and they prove it what is the next step? What are the odds right now that Trump doesn't become president and they pick a different one for us? What would even happen if Trump can't become president or is impeached before taking office.

I forget if I saw it in this thread or somewhere else but I read an interesting article that claimed way at the beginning that Trump would be elected and Paul Ryan would end up president.

It would be entertaining, but at this point it's going to happen. Trump is pretty much going to wreck things the next four years and people are going to have to make peace and bring as much lube as possible.

I know but sometimes it is fun to dream. Like buying a lottery ticket. You see things like this happening and wonder. What would happen?

McConnell says this stuff out of one side of his mouth, and from the other he's working his hardest to delay the creation of the select Senate committee to look into it. Because HE KNOWS the end result is that his party is found out to be a bunch of treasonous fucks.

[kuronosan]

I see suffering patients every week and ask myself why anyone would vote for Trump and want ACA gone... Then you see the people who are scared and easily mongered... And it makes perfect sense.

Not everyone who voted for Trump is like that, but the people who consistently vote against their own interests are.

didn't take long for the Republicans to schism over an issue. said it before but victory temporarily blurred the divisions within the party, Congressional Republicans and the Trump administration are going to be deeply at odds again and again over the next four years.

[Krandor]

I feel like all these people calling for treason don't actually understand what treason is (the same could be said for all the people calling it for Clinton because emails).

Also at this point I'm pretty sure damn near everyone crying over this Russia stuff hasn't even bothered to read past the headlines. The way people have been talking about it makes it seem like Russia hacked our fucking voting machines to directly install Trump as president. As opposed to the reality of the situation where they hacked some emails and exposed people to the actual truth of what top ranking Dems think about people. To say nothing of the fact that there's no proof that the Kremlin was actually involved.

It's still a bad situation regardless, but to be perfectly honest considering our country's actions in fucking with the rest of the world I'm surprised it took this long to happen.

[Kincard]

I already said this earlier, but the fact that the American public bit on the wikileaks/email thing says more about the American public than it does about Russia, Putin, the Republicans or Trump. Putin/Assange were doing their thing but Americans shouldn't have been dumb enough to fall for it.
