President Donald J. Trump: Orange is the New Black, House Slytherin Rises Also Heil Trump!

If ya'll thought Dick Cheney was pulling strings, you best brace yourselves.

Donald Trump, swayed by poll numbers?

During the election, everything was about saying/doing whatever he could to get more votes. Now it's going to be positive reaction from people.

I actually don't think Trump is gonna be easy to control like Dubya so i don't know how its gonna pan out.

[Gredival]

Remember the deal he offered to Kasich? I'm pretty sure he gave the same deal to Pence.

I mean I'm sure that he will care insofar as Donald cares about his ego and doesn't want people talking badly about him because the ship is sinking. But he showed up to the meeting with Obama not realizing the scope of governing for a reason. He doesn't really care about driving the car; he is fine letting Pence or someone else to do it so long as he's the face.

The establishment parts of the administration are there because they know how to run the show and Donald doesn't and doesn't want to learn. The other picks like Bannon are there to reward loyalty because they helped him win.

The Democratic Coalition has filed an FBI complaint against Trump Campaign Chairman Steven Bannon, which alleging that he violated a federal campaign finance law coordinating Super PAC activities with the Trump campaign, and receiving payments from it after becoming officially part of the Republican campaign.

Bannon’s recent appointment as a Senior White House Advisor has caused shock waves throughout American media for his alt-right connections and headlines from his Breitbart News outlet.

Bannon’s production company Glittering Steel LLC made “Clinton Cash” as an electioneering communication.

The Make America Number 1 PAC sent payments to Glittering Steel LLC in the amount of $950,090 during the 2016 primary and general election cycle until this September.

Frank Gaffney is reported involved in Trump's transition team now. A sampling of his ideas:

Looking ahead to Trump’s first hundred days, Gaffney said there were “many things said in the course of the campaign that could be the basis for a hundred-day program in the national security space.”

“Clearly rebuilding the military is front and center,” he said. “That won’t get done in a hundred days, but it’s got to get started in it. Cleaning house, in terms of lots of folks who have burrowed in, who will be sabotaging him at every turn, in all of the national security agencies – including, I think, the military and, frankly, the intelligence community, Homeland Security, and so on.”

In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, Gaffney suggested that then-President Saddam Hussein had been involved in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, committed by Timothy McVeigh.

Gaffney suggested that Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan at the time, was submitting to Sharia when Petraeus condemned the burning of a Quran by a Florida pastor.

Gaffney has accused a bipartisan array of political elites of being secretly tied to the Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood, including longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and conservative heavyweights Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan.

I really hope enough Republicans realize how disastrous this is going to be and act to keep the crazies out of the administration, otherwise we are in for a long four years.

Jesus Christ, what is going to happen these four years? I now fear that implementing nukes are going to be a real possibility.

Senator Warren called on President-Elect Trump to remove the lobbyists and special interest insiders from his transition team and replace them with advisors who will fight for the interests of the American people. She stated, "Let me be clear. Should you refuse, I will oppose you, every step of the way, for the next four years. I will champion the millions of Americans you will fail to protect. I will track your every move, and I will remind Americans, every day, of the actions you take that fail them. And I will not be the only one watching. The millions of Americans who voted for you - and the millions who didn't - will all be watching you."

Barely a fucking week man.

[Niiro]

I will oppose you, every step of the way, for the next four years.

The disarray has left agencies virtually frozen, unable to communicate with the people tasked with replacing them and their staff. Trump transition team officials were a no-show at the Pentagon, the Washington Examiner reported.

One Democratic source, who like others would only discuss sensitive talks on condition of anonymity, said transition officials had been informally asking Obama political appointees to recommend Republicans to take over their jobs.

Also there are reports that claim Trump already talked with Putin instead if going to the Pentagon.

[Zetanio]

This is all exactly what was expected. I'm not sure why we're all confused.

It's an inspiring message to all the young people having trouble getting a job because everyone wants prior work experience:

You can always just become president.

With a small loan of a million dollars and 50 years of failures in real estate, you too can grab bitches by the pussy.

Well, maybe one good thing will come from Trump's presidency.

Depends. In order to dump nuclear waste underground safely you need an area that you're confident is geologically inert for a relevant amount of time (millions of years, in this case?)

If they do this and then discover oil nearby and start dumping tons of water into the ground / causing earthquakes, Nevada's aquifers would be fucked.

Ted Cruz reportedly being considered for Attorney General. Lindsay Graham floated his name for the Supreme Court.

Lindsay Graham never ended up supporting Trump did he? Don't see him getting shit.
