Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

I wasn't expecting you to endorse the logic behind this

the ol' argumentum ad verecundiam

do you think the first NR piece you posted is correct?

It accurately described the conditions on the ground today, and I think the author is hiding the degree to which he is surprised by that reality.

The "GOPe" has drawn to an inside straight even though they did everything to screw it up along the way of this campaign through their own self-serving agenda. I've won poker hands that way, though I wouldn't recommend it.

This once more illustrates the wisdom of Churchill when he said that America will eventually always do the right thing after we have tried everything else. We'll see soon enough if this is part of the right thing, or whether we're still stuck on "everything else." Going into this election, I knew that the GOP was a mess, and everyone else agreed.

Compared to the opposition, it looks pretty good this morning. That can also change. Make no mistake.

Actually, the one time the media hurt their candidate. I spent hours watching. CBS, NBC & ABC as they were agog in total disbelief. There smug grins at first led to utmost contempt. I'm not sure how Trump will do but Mike Pence is the unsung hero and should be the catalyst in bringing the country together. It's amazing how this is all playing out mostly due to immigration and not being able to have a say. Obama and Hillary just didn't get it.

Yup. I also think that Hillary didn't learn anything from Sanders' appeal in the primary. He appealed to the declining middle class especially in the upper Midwest. When you look at the states that swung the election, Trump got a big percentage of those voters while Clinton only visited those states very close to the end.

Goes much deeper than that. In an election cycle where voters wanted change (Sanders, Trump), Clinton was a very poor fit

Likely all financial institutions will be helped

haha is that what this election was meant to be about?

things have settled in the short term, albeit down from a collapse steeper that during the financial crisis

there might be short-term boost from eliminating the protections passed after the real estate bubble. #MAGA!

in the long term, i'm not so confident. of course the banks will be feeling confident of another bailout should everything spiral out of control once again.

as for Deutsche Bank, they, like many financial institutions, were facing moderate fines for lying about what they'd been selling to people, thus prompting the crisis (and unlike many financial institutions, for helping Russia evade the sanctions).

i would have thought that people truly concerned about the pervasive influence of corporate power in politics would have seen the prospect of eliminating these fines because of a personal loan to the president as cause for concern, rather than a tribalist talking point.

but i am not even an American, and drainage rests in the eye of the be-drainer

The Californian secession issue is an interesting one. Not sure it would happen, but there's now a load more reasons for it to do so.

Same would have been the case for the likes of Texas if Clinton had won, but the case wouldn't have been as strong.

That's the problem with having two such awful candidates in a nation of many fairly independent states. If California - the sixth largest economy in the world - aren't represented at all by the President, then the incentive to stay in the Union is pretty much nullified.

It's a long shot, but the possibility of the break up of the USA little by little is plausible now.
