#Repost @hollywoodforhillary ・・・ 8/25/16 ~ "From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous. [his] lack of knowledge or experience or solutions would be bad enough. But what he’s doing here is more sinister. Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters. It’s a disturbing preview of what kind of President he’d be. This is what I want to make clear today: A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military. If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans? Now, I know some people still want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. They hope that he will eventually reinvent himself – that there’s a kinder, gentler, more responsible Donald Trump waiting in the wings somewhere. After all, it’s hard to believe anyone – let alone a nominee for President of the United States – could really believe all the things he says. But the hard truth is, there’s no other Donald Trump. This is it. Maya Angelou once said: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Well, throughout his career and this campaign, Donald Trump has shown us exactly who he is. We should believe him. Every day, more Americans are standing up and saying “enough is enough” – including a lot of Republicans. I believe we are #StrongerTogether. It’s a vision for the future rooted in our values and reflected in a rising generation of young people who are the most open, diverse, and connected we’ve ever seen. So let’s keep moving #forward #together. Let’s #StandUp against prejudice and paranoia. Let’s prove once again, that #AmericaIsGreat because is #America is #good." ~ @hillaryclinton #StillWithHer #BLM #FireBannon #ImpeachTrump #Resist #Persist #UnitedWeStand #RiseAndOrganize #OnwardTogether

You own this, Trump. You encouraged it at your rallies, you brought these people into your White House staff, and you refused again and again to name and condemn domestic terrorism. We fought a war to end the Confederacy and the enslavement of human beings. We fought a war to destroy the Nazi movement. You own the hatred and bloodshed. You are a filthy disgrace to this country and to humanity. You own this.

#firebannon #firekushner

As the Twitter wars heat up over whether Trump should fire Bannon (he’s combative, no one likes him, genuinely uninterested in passing legislation, no experience in this, racist anti-Semite, only wants to destroy things, most damaging–called Jared a cuck, and is generally embarrassing to have around), or fire Kushner (he’s out of his depth, supposedly convinced Trump to strike Syria, is undermining Trump’s intolerance & anti-Semitism, lied on his NatSec forms, is making all sorts of cash for himself in his role, and generally embarrassing to look at), Trump has some political math to do.

If they don’t work things out, my inclination has been that Trump will stand by his son-in-law. It’s widely seen in the real estate industry that he hasn’t been able to manage his businesses without his kids for years, and let’s face it, the presidency is just another business to him. Don’t cross family, no matter who you think you are, because Trump cannot work without them. They are literally the only people he can trust.

On the other hand, if Trump dumps Bannon in favor of Kushner, he’ll lose his base of support. The Nazi alt-right and the rest of his bigoted die-hards worship the guy, and are already up in arms about Trump’s Jewish son-in-law being in the White House. While that sounds like an opportunity to pick up moderate support, Trump’s approval is so low that it’s unlikely he can. Without his appeal to ethnonationalism (and I count Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Steve King in this group), Trump has almost no supporters at all. This is a loud and aggressive group that comes with its own grassroots operations, and he can’t afford to dismiss them.

His only choice is to make them get along. He’ll stick to the only path he can.
