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

We already have laws in place for these things. It's very obvious he wants to ban protests in general.

Yea this isn't fascism, it's just to protect the little guys.

Trump will remake agency that ruled against his Vegas hotel. Hard to see a conflict of interest there.

No guys it's alright at least he didn't delete e-mails rite

Illegal activity only matters if you're in public office. Also, no one cares about emails unless they're posted on WikiLeaks.

What a rigged system

Reports circulating now that Mitt Romney is being considered for Secretary of State.

[Aerin]

Well, I'd certainly prefer him to... literally every other person that's in Trumps team right now

[archibaldcrane]

Reports circulating now that Mitt Romney is being considered for Secretary of State.

The number of leaks and speculation about cabinet picks feels excessive. And would Trump really pick Romney, who was very #neverTrump from the start?

[Zealot]

They're meeting on Saturday, I guess we'll see what comes from it.

the latest keeping it 1600 is lit. They are talking about where Trump administration is appointments process-wise compared to where they were in 08 "They are ahead of us in the sense that they've appointed a neo nazi. we had not done that at this point."

[Andalusian girls]

given Bolton and Guliani were the frontrunners hitherto i would be ecstatic with a Mittens pick

[Krandor]

Would Romney really bend the knee here after all the crap he talked about Trump?

Megyn Kelly: Fox News Had to Explain to Trump Lawyer Why It Would Be Bad if I Were Killed

“Michael Cohen, who is Trump's top lawyer and executive vice president with the Trump Organization had retweeted ‘let’s gut her,’ about me,” Kelly said. “At a time when the threat level was very high, which he knew. And Bill Shine, an executive vice president of Fox, called him up to say, 'You got to stop this. We understand you are angry but she's got three kids and is walking around New York.' ”

“And he didn't much care,” Kelly continued. “And what Bill Shine said to Michael Cohen was, ‘Let me put it to you in terms you can understand: If Megyn Kelly gets killed it is not going help your candidate.’ ”

Let me put this in terms you can understand. Cohen took to Twitter to call Kelly a liar and retweet people calling her a “snake” and a “psycho.”

i imagine the conflicting drives of most sane Republicans to be that they despise the man and what he represents yet understand the best possible way to mitigate damage and affect conservative victories is from inside the administration

to wit Romney is as hawkish on Russia as they come and he must realize that he can likely influence the administration into taking a harder line with them as Secretary of State than as an oppositional figure writing op-eds for WaPo

[Aerin]

Well he might be thinking that at this point, he could be in a position to prevent Trump being a total disaster for the U.S. Foreign Policy-wise. I wouldn't argue with him there.

Edit: Beaten, what AG said

You’ve been writing fake news for a while now — you’re kind of like the OG Facebook news hoaxer. Well, I’d call it hoaxing or fake news. You’d call it parody or satire. How is that scene different now than it was three or five years ago? Why did something like your story about Obama invalidating the election results (almost 250,000 Facebook shares, as of this writing) go so viral?

Honestly, people are definitely dumber. They just keep passing stuff around. Nobody fact-checks anything anymore — I mean, that’s how Trump got elected. He just said whatever he wanted, and people believed everything, and when the things he said turned out not to be true, people didn’t care because they’d already accepted it. It’s real scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.

You mentioned Trump, and you’ve probably heard the argument, or the concern, that fake news somehow helped him get elected. What do you make of that?

My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time. I think Trump is in the White House because of me. His followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist.

Ah so that's where the paid protester thing started.

I wonder how much shit Zoner posted from that guy.

I would probably go with around 90%. This guy looks to be the source of a lot of the crazy shit that was passed around. He mentions some of the big ones he started like "putting badges on Muslims" among others.
