I agree, but I think some people are more likely to take heed when itās framed as āthis will have direct consequences on something you care aboutā, just like some Republicans only ever see gay people as people once they find out one of their family members is gay. And it is a valid thing to be worried about on top of the evil shitheadery itself.

Trumpās not only adding Bannon to the National Security Council (Jesus Fuck!) but pulled the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Director of National Intelligence from the principal committee (left as optional, as though thereās ever any meeting that could happen where their inputās not central) and totally disinvited the Secretary of Energy. This is the meeting where the Pres. discusses national security and foreign policy, and heās yanking the heads in charge of intelligence, the military, and nukes.

In all fairness, do you want Rick Perry on the National Security Council?
I mean, I wouldnāt have put in him charge of the nukes in the first place, but I guess since he is he should get an inputā¦

Rick Perry is literally one of the handful of crazies that sobered up once in Washington. Rick. Perry.

Also, about that ISIS planā¦
Remember when Trump said he had a great plan to defeat ISIS but he couldnāt give it away before the election? It turns out his super secret plan that would give ISIS the upper hand if ever discussed was to ask someone else to come up with a plan.

Itās so badly worded itās near unintelligible, so itās hard to say if itās āscrew the Geneva Conventionsā or āuh oh, we need to make sure weāre following the law,ā but given that weāre dealing with Nazis, Iām pretty sure itās āscrew the Geneva Conventions.ā

Is there a thread that tabulates Trumpās lies? It would be a great bit of pasta.

I mentioned in another thread that PBS has a less-than-an-hour documentary called āDick Cavettās Watergateā that really hits you over the head with the similarities between the Cheeto-in-residence and Tricky Dick. Itās free to watch on their website, and definitely worth the time.
