"Trump picks fracking company CEO Chris Wright to be Energy Secretary."
I can't wait for the full list now. It's going to be, like, Jack the Ripper as director of Health and Human Services, Jason Voorhies as Education Secretary...how did the speech go, exactly? Wait, I remember...

Yeah, people who didn't vote for Harris being called fucking idiots despite the Democrats telling them to fuck off to begin with doesn't sit right with me.
No idea what that has to do with this thread. There are a lot of politics threads that will work for.
The story about Muslim voters was posted in this thread. Frank’s pointing out that it’s not really a lepord eating face story.
Tough shit. They’re fucking idiots. The democrats should’ve run a campaign with the understanding that they’re fucking idiots, but that doesn’t change that they are.
Look, I'm all in favor of a discussion about whether the Democratic party should move to the left or the right, whether there should be a third viable party, and how people could/might feel about the campaign they ran, etc etc.
But there's plenty of political discussion threads and it's not illegal to start a new one around here. How about we limit the Leopard Face thread to Leopard Face stories?

I don’t believe minorities can never be dumb no matter what.
Yeah... no. The whole point of this is the fact that many stupid, selfish Trump voters thought they'd be "safe" from his policies because they're white/Christian/straight/usually male, and they're going to find out when they lose their health care, environmental protections, VA benefits, public schools, public transportation, social security, cheaper labor, etc., none of that shit will protect them. They voted for "oligarchy" , and oligarchy only benefits the rich. The shittiest part of this is, as usual, minorities are going to get hit first and hardest.
Unfortunately, the way this usually unfolds is that the initial burst of activity is directed at minorities, yes.
Joe Voter: "Ha ha, look at the [insert plural slur here], they got what's coming to them, they should all go back to [place]."
<THREE MONTHS LATER...>
Joe Voter: "What do you mean I can't have [essential service and/or porn] any more? I know my rights!" No, Joe. You see, you thought you were safe because you thought it was only about being [ethnic] when you should've known it was always about being [class/caste].

Trump will be a very fat leopard.
His *first* administration, I commented how nearly everyone he picked was some tv celebrity of some sort. Like, if he hadn't seen them on TV, how important could they be?
"Conservatives approaching enlightenment" is such a misleading title.
To be clear, they're not going "whoa these guys are more extreme than we thought", they're more concerned about "these folks might not be competent enough to push through our extreme agenda".
Which might actually be a saving grace from a normal person's perspective.

Holy shit, did you watch the Grey Cup?
Pittsburgh-area Steelworkers union leaders are upset with President-elect Trump for his vow to block the US Steel-Nippon deal. One of them spoke at a Trump rally earlier this year, and he said Tuesday that Trump's statements felt like a "gut punch”
