  • I'd rather Donald Trump was getting advice from his undoubtedly liberal family than from some of the far right hangers on who became factotems in his campaign.

  • Hmm. No idea about his family but his sons give me the creeps.

    That said, Rudy and Sarah Palin whispering in his ear is also creepy.

    I think just see how this plays out; expectations are so abysmal that he's actually perfectly positioned to surprise people. Kind of like a polar opposite of Obama, on whom everyone projected huge expectations and was thus primed to disappoint.

    I'd be more wary of the people pulling the strings. Think back to the bush administration which was essentially run by Cheney, Rummsfeld, Rice and Powell.
    If Tump takes too much advice from the wrong people, things will be fucked up but hopefully he knows how to see through bullshit...

    I'm not freaking out yet.

  • The two words that scare the life out of me are Stephen Bannon

  • Think back to the bush administration which was essentially run by Cheney, Rummsfeld, Rice and Powell

    Sorry, I have to correct this. The Bush presidency was primarily run by Rove, Cheney, and a cadre of shadowy, government-hating neo-conservative military industrialists. Rumsfeld certainly offered his services as a policy-advisor but was quickly edged out and eventually forced to resign because he was viewed as a loose cannon and somebody that could be scapegoated for the increasingly unpopular Iraq war. Rice and Powell contributed almost nothing in the way of policy or decision-making and Powell seems to have completely disagreed with many of things he was told to say. Just to clear things up.
