There is already problems.

Bolton scares the hell out of me.  Good lord keep him away from anything that could mean bombs, explosions and people dying.

Optimistic thinking time!

Maybe Trump is floating out these names so when he picks his actual choices they'll look amazing in comparison.

Corker's name was being thrown out there as well but it appears the favorite is Giuliani.  Don't know much about Corker.

I don't think Rudy would be any better than Bolton but I know damn well Bolton wants to drop bombs so he is my last choice.

also, I think Bolton would create an issue for Trump with congress.  To the point it could easily sway their narrow majority lead in the senate in the opposite direction.  

[Thomas]

Well that rules out Everlast.

How so?

Rand Paul hates the choice for one.  Whatever iron fist mentality Bolton would try to infuse would create opposition.  At least that's my impression.  

[mtangelsfan]

Unfortunately, Rand Paul is an outlier for the republicans.  I am sure most of those hawkish republicans are happy about dropping bombs on brown people.

but his vote still counts.  2 votes push it over.  We'll see.  I don't think a Bolton pick would win him favor in either direction.  Right now I think he's in his tower trying to find some direction because he's thinking that his cabinet choices are binary to his supporters vs. congress which are someone at odds.  Scary time right now.  

[mtangelsfan]

Very scary.  The whole world is watching.  We will see.

I'm much more concerned about a Bolton appointment than a Bannon appointment.

Michael Bolton is a great pick, he could sing "Can I Touch You There" at the inaugural ball.

Jim Webb's name being bandied about for SOD and SOS although I am sure it's wishful thinking.

You want to argue Trump isn't racist...or didn't use racism in his campaign...by all means jump down that rabbit hole. You want links for any of these, feel free to go to the article. I look forward to you rebutting each of these.

http://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racism-history

• 1973: The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to black tenants and lied to black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to discriminating before.

1- the policies were put in place by Fred Trump.

2- You're reaching back 43 years, lol, the entire country was much different back then sadly.

• 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the "Central Park Five" — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, "BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!" The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.

The five men all admitted to wrong doing in corroborated stories. Trump definitely tends to err on the side of the police, doesn't make him racist.

• 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.

1 - catering to wealthy clients isn't racist (sure, his request was racist though)

2 - This is all going off one guy's word, Kip Brown. Can't condemn a guy as racist by one dude's hear say.

• 2000: In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of adssuggesting the tribe had a "record of criminal activity [that] is well documented."

This one is more complicated, but still far from something worth being deemed racist. read about it here https://www.ft.com/content/8ebc3112-1ea2-11e6-a7bc-ee846770ec15

• 2011: Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first black president — was not born in the US. He even sent investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama's birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a "carnival barker."

1 - It's racist when its against Obama, but literally the same thing was said about Ted Cruz and nobody claimed racism.

2 - if you think that's racist then Hillary's campaign in 2008 must have been also for spreading a certain picture. Right?

• 2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, "I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?"

Typical mud slinging. Nothing about race.

• Trump launched his campaign calling Mexican immigrants "rapists" who are "bringing crime" and "bringing drugs" to the US. His campaign is largely built on building a wall to keep these immigrants out of the US.

Mexico is a country loaded with all kinds of terrible crime. I don't think anyone will argue that. By allowing illegal immigrants from Mexico to pour into the country by the millions a lot of those criminals are coming over that wouldn't have otherwise been allowed through the proper channels. And Mexico is doing absolutely nothing to stop it. That's all he was trying to say. Sometimes you need to read between the lines instead of taking your spoon fed propaganda from CNN.

• He called for a ban on all Muslims coming into the US. He has since expanded this ban to include anyone from specific countries, including possibly France and Germany.

5 previous presidents have temporarily restricted certain classes of immigrants from being allowed into the country to protect its citizens. Those five are Obama, Dubya, CLINTON, Reagan, and Carter. Trump suggests the same thing and it's now racist.

• Trump has been repeatedly slow to condemn white supremacists who endorse him, and he regularly retweets messages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

Give me a break. He disavowed as soon as he found out who he was being asked to disavow. Multiple times.

• He tweeted and later deleted an image that showed Hillary Clinton in front of a pile of money and by a Jewish Star of David that said, "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!" The tweet had some very obvious anti-Semitic imagery, but Trump insisted that the star was a sheriff’s badge, and said his campaign shouldn’t have deleted it.

For Christ's sake this one was stupid. There was a solid red star next to a picture of Hillary that said "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!"

It's a fucking shape available in MS paint, who gives a flying poop? Suddenly shapes are now racist. This is what makes you guys look stupid.

• In a pitch to black voters, Trump said, "You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?"

No racism here either. He's saying ghetto neighborhoods are unsafe, blacks are unable to get jobs, and their communities have shitty schools. All true. Stop the presses!!

 

Lastly, i'll leave you with this.
