THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

Yep that's it.

The only non-bullshit answer, so of course, he does not walk the Orthodox Democrat line (gotta be fighting NRA, coal, wall street, etc.), and since he signaled that we will not worship at the orthodox democrat shrine, he had to be destroyed. The hit pieces that came out the next day were simply ridiculous.

That's the way I saw it too.

He's a man of better ideas and smarter approaches. One little bite from Webb concerning the Middle East, 'Don't get in the middle of a 5 sided Argument'

Was it DSL that joined in with me on suggesting/wishfully thinking of Webb for Trump's running mate back on the DCF?

Maybe one or two others, I don't remember. People who know him and/or have read Born Fighting and other things he's written seem to universally like him.

I was never opposed to the general idea, what little I knew about him. It wasn't essential for me to get people of a party on the ticket it was more about the ticket itself. Unfortunately since then I've given up any hope of anything left of the aisle.

In my opinion, the best thing that could happen for the white working class is for democrats to increase pandering to the minorities such as what they are for now. I would like to see it get to the point where they look at a man like Webb and say that he doesn't represent the American people. Of course this is only for strategic reasons of course. My hope is that the Republican Party could be shaped into an even more defacto party for white people than it already is.

Skippy is fucked.

Not to toot my own horn but I was pimping
Jim Webb.

I still think a Webb Trump ticket would have been formidable but in hindsight I am not sure the Christian Extremists would have showed up without Pence on ticket.

Who the hell is Skippy

Skippy is Podesta's evil alter ego. It's his nickname according to older news articles and reports from people that worked for him.

It's in the Wikileaks I think.

also reminded her of about monuments and roadless rule from Clinton admin, and monuments under Obama. She was also really interested in hearing more about Skippy. I basically said Skippy was more legend than reality. (I hope that wasn't off message!)

I am going fully Skippy on my van. The person I replaced wanted to remain a part of the team and volunteered to be our designated chauffeur. Against my protests the team agreed and we have an EXTRA person in our cramped van

Usually cheerful, @johnpodesta has a profane alter ego nicknamed Skippy >>> you don’t want to meet." @agearan

Sounds like you're still keeping busy and I'm glad to hear you've kept Skippy at bay.

You get the gist by now

You're fired.

Goldman Sachs has spoken:

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin signaled no urgency to designate China a currency manipulator, saying he wants to use a regular review of foreign-exchange markets to determine if the U.S.’s largest trading partner is cheating.

No announcement on currency manipulation will come before the Treasury’s April report, Mnuchin said in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday. The decision contradicts an October pledge by candidate Donald Trump to direct his Treasury secretary to name China a manipulator on the first day of his administration.

Mnuchin Says He Won’t Label China a Currency Manipulator...Yet

One of the guys from GS in Trump's administration:



Yep, if the Pentagon's realpolitik-wing (with Mattis, McMaster) aren't so enthusiastic at appeasing the Russians, Goldman Sachs isn't so enthusiastic at steps taken towards a trade war with China.

Anyway, in some time Trump's campaign promises will be forgotten.

Well, pale imitation is possible and the DBTrek account is active, I check it occasionally and it has usually been active within the last 24hrs. It says last active at 6.26pm yesterday (GMT) currently.
Maybe he is just waiting for the return of DrTrech before he commits.

What a compelling coterie of internet sleuths.
Let me know how the theories bear out.
