Trump & Bannon
-
People across the US are protesting in response to Trump's election. Some folks are decrying the protests and telling the protesters to "get over it already. Trump won" What these folks fail to realize is that they're not protesting Trump because he won, but because of who he is. He is clearly divisive. He has made disparaging comments towards blacks, latinos, women, jews... to name a few. Now, he appoints Steve Bannon to his inncer circle. For those of you who don't know Bannon ran a Breitbart [^] which has published some pretty racist stuff. If you haven't taken the time to look it up - do so. So this appointment clearly shows that either Trump doesn't understand why half the country doesn't like him - or he doesn't care. He talks about being president for all the people, then makes decisions that alienates half of them. Not off to a good start.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

People were rioting BEFORE Trump selected Bannon, so your claim is unjustified. They're rioting because Soros is paying them to do so.

It is devastating how this level of anti-semetic dialogue has become the new normal under Trump.

So, which candidate do you think would have had 100% approval? And does this continue for each and every decision he's going to make?

None of the above. There is simply on such thing.

Dave KreskowiakSo, regardless of choice, some people would be 'alienated', since they would not agree with the choice made. Implies that no one could ever become president of 'all Americans'. I don't understand the argument, obviously.

Every politician says they want to be for "all Americans", knowing full well that it's impossible. The trick, for the winner, is figuring out how tolerant the dissenters will be. In Trumps case, he was so blatantly racist and misogynistic (among other things) during the campaign that he made it impossible for some dissenters to be accepting of him at all.

I didn't know they'd have to 'accept' him. Since when is that an issue? And why did you guys accept Bush jr, if you could simply 'not accept' him?

If America survived 4 mandates of Bush family it can survive one or two of Trumps'.

And Obama is a model of civility? His policies have angered people, too, but I don't recall them rioting.

Did Obama ever appoint anyone to the cabinet that wrote articles encouraging racism and sexism?
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

Three, actually. Which is too bad, as George H.W. Bush was one of the best President's we've ever had. Pragmatic, smart, centrist, and flexible. That flexibility is why he lost re-election, the base was mad after reading his lips.

Genetic is such a bitch... always jumping generations fully random. At least they got both superlatives in the family... one of the best, and one of the worst.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Can't really argue there. I suspect every family has a "that guy", though.
