Any of the Trump supporters here identify with the "alt-right"? How do you feel about their support for Trump and his use of them in the campaign - and his general reluctance to disassociate himself with the extreme right? Genuine question.

Donald Trump at The New York Times: Live on Twitter
http://www.nytimes.com/live/trum…
Trump: “I don’t want to energize the group, and I disavow the group.” (1/2)
Trump: "It’s not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why.” (2/2)
- On Bannon:"If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldn't even think about hiring him."Gnash
- Will the President-elect condemn Richard Spencer’s alt-right gathering? “I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn,” says Trump.Gnash
- As if millions of WASPS suddenly cried out in terror.face_melter

more from NYT:
Open up the libel laws? Trump says someone told him, “You know, YOU might be sued a lot more.’ I said, You know, I hadn’t thought of that."
lol

- Donald Trump on The New York Times: “I do read it. Unfortunately. I’d live about 20 years longer if I didn’t."robotron3k

Trump is just saying he wont pursue any prosecution of hillary because he CANT pursue her. Period. She was cleared twice. Nothing found. Thats why Obama snickered when he was asked if he should pardon her. He had that "for what?" look on his face.
Trump knew the entire time the email thing was total bullshit, but he used it as fuel for his dumb gullible supporters to help him get elected. Ill bet behind the scenes he sat there thinking every single day, "I cannot believe this is fucking working!" Lmao
- he's setting her free in order to heal the nationFax_Benson
- ^ that's his shtick for sure. I do think he was sincere initially about following through with it.Gnash
- but once he won (it's all about winning), I just it just doesn't interest him anymore. he's too busy salivating at his new biz opportunitiesGnash
- The fucker doesn't have a Scooby about what to do next - his evil minions are setting themselves up for prime jobs while he fucks about on Twitter.face_melter
- Obama definitely earned his nickname "Divider in Chief" the guy is pissed he has to spend his last 3 months discussing Trump in office.robotron3k
- Why you're not pissed that your savior trump is nothing that you have been jizzing for is insane. And yes, I'm sure Obama is pretty upset that a moron is nextmonospaced
- up. Also you're completely delusional if you think all he's doing is discussing that clown. Pay attention. Holy shit.monospaced
- He's just shit scared they'll do the same to the Trump Foundation. "Lock him up"!BusterBoy

Mike Pence Appoints Totally Random Non-Law-Practicing Lady As Indiana Judge, Because Go F*ck Yourself Is Why
Tom McDermott, Jr., the mayor of Hammond, Indiana, is rather upset and confused after finding out — through social media — that Vice President-elect Mike Pence (who is still governor of Indiana, even though we forgot about that) went ahead and appointed a judge in his town without consulting with him first. And not only that, but a judge who has never even practiced law before.
Amy Jorgensen, 46, does have a law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law, but has previously stated that she has never actually used it. Rather, she has run a bunch of Sylvan Learning Center franchises. For real, like, that was not a weird joke or anything. OH, and by sheer coincidence, we are sure, she also happens to be the chair of the St. John Republican Party.
- Yes I believe in most every city there are jobs like that where you don't need experience. Even being a mayor.robotron3k
- Even being president, apparently.********
- robo, a mayor and a judge are completely different positions, one with actual experience being necessarymonospaced
- Big difference. A politician has a team of experts, a judge is expected to know law, know precedents, etc. I'll be the Court of Appeals is going to be swampedformed
- "I know Amy, and I think she will make an excellent judge," Pence said, admitting he "wasn't sure" if she's ever held a law-related position.********

Trump Picks Staunch Opponents of Net Neutrality to Oversee FCC
President-elect Donald Trump formally named two staunch opponents of net neutrality to oversee his policies for the agency that created the rules to prevent discrimination against Internet sites and online services.
Jeff Eisenach, an economist who has been on Verizon’s payroll, and Mark Jamison, who formerly worked on Sprint’s lobbying team and now heads the University of Florida’s Public Utility Research Center, on Monday were named to Trump’s “agency landing team” for the Federal Communications Commission.

What TV journalists did wrong — and the New York Times did right — in meeting with Trump
On Monday TV people walked into an ambush, agreed not to talk about it, then Trump went straight to the Post with his version. He controlled the narrative and distributed his story. On Tuesday the NY Times refused to waiver so they could provide an open account of the events by live tweeting, and can you blame them for how much they've been blasted by him. But, Trump couldn't churn his own propaganda machine to control that narrative. TV execs bended their knee and got got, I applaud the NY Times for holding firm...

Trump picks Betsy DeVos for education secretary post
http://www.detroitnews.com/story…DeVos, 58, is seen as a national leader in the school choice movement, which she has called an attempt to “empower” parents to find good schools for their children, whether they be traditional public schools in other neighborhoods, charter schools, virtual schools or private institutions.
“Betsy DeVos is a brilliant and passionate education advocate,” Trump said Wednesday in a statement. “Under her leadership, we will reform the U.S. education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families.”

- You have to donate $10,000 to the ADL to voice these types of opinions according to Maggiano's********
- What opinions?monospaced
- woteva treva.fadein11
- oh yes, even truth and facts that are considered images of "hate" must donate $10,000 to the ADL according to Maggiano's********
- Nobody has to do jack shit according to that restaurant or anyone. They did this because they hate white supremacists and want the cash to fight them instead.monospaced
- omg. Question. Do you use an online Gibberish Generator for each of your posts? Is this all some elaborate joke for a high school graduation assignment?kona
- omg, are you really bothered that the proceeds from the racist assholes went to the ADL? If so, why?monospaced
- Yes they're right. The goal of the ADL is to destroy the Supremacy Clause that makes this great nation by charging folks a fee to have a voice.********
- Who did they charge, exactly?********
- Are you suggesting that the ADL was like, "Ok, you guys can say that stuff, but you have to pay us, first?" omg, your logic is ridiculous.********
- When the ADL accepted Maggiano's $10,000 "donation" to run their business as a restaurant, you have to see the sign of extortion being made onto business.********
- If you build an institution that accepts money to fight "hate" in the form of free speech. In return they will seek to destroy you, unless you pay.********
- pmsl. you are a real nutjob omg.fadein11
- You are so insane omg. It wasn't a fee. It's not a fee to avoid destruction. You must be a moron if that is what you think a charitable donation is.monospaced
- And still you don't realize this has nothing to do with freedom of speech, a right you have consistently misunderstood.monospaced
- Serious question. Where are you being fed this bullshit story omg? Did you read it on RT or did you come up with this garbage all by your hateful self?monospaced
- A charitable fee would not have happened with under scrutiny of CNN. Maggiano's was forced to "donate" $10,000 at that point.********
- No they weren't. No fee exists for inadvertently hosting a white supremacist dinner. Derp.monospaced
- Mono, now you're being a denialist now. It is freedom of speech being targeted. Especially when provoking the president to intervene.********
- I'm merely looking at the folks who are representing the Supremacy Clause, it's history, and who they were written for. My views are far from hate.********
- You obviously do not understand extortion on a social level. Or you're just being a denialist again.********
- There was no speech being suppressed. There was no fee extorted. Once again are you getting this from somewhere or just making it up yourself?monospaced
- The restaurant simply didn't like that they hosted this gang of fucknuts, so decided to distance themselves. That's it.monospaced
- The president-elect had to informally suppress the alt-right group viewpoint. The consequences for Maggiano's had they not made a "donation" would be scrutiny.********
- I'm just reading in between the lines. Understanding the alt-right motivations under the constitution.********
- Also referencing this article.http://www.c...********
- http://www.cnn.com/2…********
- The president elect didn't have to do that at all. So stupid if you. and yes the scrutiny from aligning with hate groups is deserved. Why does that bother you?monospaced
- The president elect didn't have to, but the consequences would have been dire to pulling the country together.********
- So you think it was deserving that a restaurant who was not originally aligned with a groups beliefs should have to "donate" to a cause they may not care about?********
- I'm not bothered. Or maybe I should be bothered by the hidden injustices disguised in sheep's clothing. Tila Tequila exposing more than just her body.********
- Once again. They didn't have to. I know your entire rant relies on this, but you're simply wrong.monospaced
- If the ADL takes that money, then they are extortionists.********
- That is some moron logic. Approaching yuri level of stupid. Do you know how idiotic that sounds? It's like you don't even know what the word means. omfgmonospaced
- You have to donate $10,000 to the ADL to voice these types of opinions according to Maggiano's
