Trump Son-in-Law Jared Kushner to Be Named Senior White House Adviser - Polidicks

[QUOTE=pentium;51647340]As someone who is both not an American and has all their ducks in a row to the point a Trump presidency will not impact either my investments or my job security I find it hilarious. There's nothing you or I can do the change him making the next four years so sit down and just watch, dammit. This is history in the making.[/QUOTE] You're going to be affected when his climate change policies increase the decline of our bleeding planet, causing people to flee in droves to safe and prosperous zones. Can you even begin to imagine the worldwide famine and poverty that is going to result due to climate change, engendered by these fat-cat assholes who only care about oil money and believe it's all a Chinese scam? We're going to have cities like Kowloon erupt from the ground overnight. Mass curfews. Berlin-style divisions. Coastal cities disappearing under the rising tide. Fishing disappearing almost entirely except in the most distant, untapped zones. Cats and dogs living together. The future is bleak, my friend. Laugh it up while you can.

You can't even BEGIN to defend this shit, so I assume Trump's usual dick riders will either ignore it or deflect.

What was that I heard about draining the swamp and being a president whose priority was the American people again?

[QUOTE=Spetsnaz95;51647135]No one cares whether it's ethical or not. Just look at all the shit Trump has said and done; people still voted for him, and even with what he is doing now, people are still showing him undying support. Like he said himself, he could gun down a man and it would not affect people's views on him.[/QUOTE] I remember someone saying on reddit that even if all the dictators like Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, KJU, and Satan supported Trump, then nothing would change because they will just say "libural tears, crooked shillary rotten kkkillton, Benghazi, emails, pizzagate, we won u lost get over it." I would say it is more of a cult now. Still, I am sure this is probably illegal as shit and hopefully the Republicans will finally grow a spine and help the Democrats(who should also grow a spine) impeach Trump as soon as fucking possible.

[QUOTE=Kartoffel;51647322]Which ruling was that? Couldn't find it.[/QUOTE] Originally I read it [URL="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-kushner-idUSKBN14T251"]here[/URL]: [QUOTE]Jamie Gorelick, a New York lawyer who served as deputy attorney general for Democratic President Bill Clinton and helped advise Kushner, said his new post would not violate a 1967 anti-nepotism statute. She said Congress in 1978 authorized the president to hire personnel for the White House office "without regard" to federal personnel laws like the anti-nepotism statute and that court rulings had determined the White House was not an "agency" under the anti-nepotism law.[/QUOTE] I think its now part of 3 U.S. Code § 105 - Assistance and services for the President (bolded the relevant parts) [QUOTE]Subject to the provisons [1] of paragraph (2) of this subsection, the President is authorized to [B]appoint[/B] and fix the pay of [B]employees in the White House Office without regard to any other provision of law regulating the employment [/B]or compensation of persons in the Government service. Employees so appointed shall perform such official duties as the President may prescribe.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Paramud;51647191]Honestly, I hope that he turns around on every single terrible promise he's made during the campaign and miraculously turns into a good president over the next four years. Failing that incredibly unlikely scenario, I hope he turns out to be just incompetent enough to not accomplish anything, without fucking up anything major. Look at it like a hangover. You hope it'll go over smoothly, but at the end of the day you'll be glad if you managed to get through it without throwing up and shitting yourself. And then we can go back to having a normal life in four years.[/QUOTE] The issue with thinking of it that way, though it's probably accurate to this situation, is that the people most likely to get hangovers are also the least likely to learn their lesson and avoid getting one next time. Go through your week as normal, hit the weekend, get shitfaced, deal with a hangover, go through your next week, hit the weekend, get shitfaced, deal with another hangover, lather, rinse, repeat.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;51647079]I take back what I said about him getting impeached six months from inauguration. I give him a week.[/QUOTE] So we can deal with Mike "Smoking dosen't kill" Pence

[QUOTE=Saxon;51649440]So we can deal with Mike "Smoking dosen't kill" Pence[/QUOTE] Pence is already the president in everything but name

The swamp just got ten feet deeper! :suicide:

He drained the swamp and then filled it with his own excreta. Incredible!

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51649447]Pence is already the president in everything but name[/QUOTE] So if Trump is out of the picture, the true face of the regime will be uncovered, and we can attack such an exposed creature.

[QUOTE=Saxon;51649440]So we can deal with Mike "Smoking dosen't kill" Pence[/QUOTE] Ah yes, Mike "Zap Away The Gay" Pence.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51649447]Pence is already the president in everything but name[/QUOTE] It's pretty impressive just how much people will ignore the signs that were there in W. Bush's administration. This is pretty much the same except more overtly corrupt and bigoted.

Eventually the people get tired of the common-sense "make good progress at a good pace" president and we go on a hoorah-fuck everyone else-jack daniel's bender until we wake up in a motel bed covered in our own or someone else's vomit. I'm still against Trump, but I'm hoping that at the very least this'll serve as a reminder to keep our shit in order and do the right thing even if it doesn't directly benefit us. Much like how getting shit faced on election night and spewing all over my mom's car and shitting myself at 3 am reminded me to stay away from rum for awhile.

[QUOTE=lintz;51648510]i don't think it's going to be that bad. but it will be bad[/QUOTE] It's going to be worse. Why the fuck would anything nice ever happen?

Either Trump's not too bad but still does damage and no lesson gets learned at all or he does plenty of damage and we spend the next however many terms recovering from it, if we fully do, before doing something blatantly stupid again.
