    The Outrage Thread

    Not quite as cringeworthy as that time Hillary went on the black radio show and was like, "MmmHmmm, honey chile, y'all know I always gotta bring hot sauce with me!" but pretty close.

    That is atrocious. The only appropriate action, in my opinion, is to give the Rangers organization the death penalty.

    Trump has been an oaf, but if Obama had demanded an apology every time he was slighted in public, you would be waving a towel. Admit it.

    Sanders: If Trump has the 'guts' to take on corporate America, he's got an ally By Edward Mejia Davis and Jeff Zeleny, CNN Updated 9:38 AM ET, Fri November 18, 2016 (CNN) — President-elect Donald Trump will find himself with an unlikely ally if he makes good on his promise to be an economic...

    Trump Needs Good Advice By PHILIP GIRALDI November 16, 2016 I would very much like to see the White House revert to a George Marshall type of foreign policy, in which the United States would use its vast power wisely rather than punitively. As Donald Trump knows little of what makes the world...

    The only significant difference I see is that Bolton is fairly antagonistic toward the UN. Perhaps he would be less antagonistic toward Russia. The rest, like a tendency toward military interventionism and nation-building, is very similar. Different sides, same coin. It is baffling to me that...

    To me, Bolton as Secretary of State would be a huge signal that there will be very little change in our world-policing foreign policy. He would have been right at home in a Clinton administration.

    It would help to know how many people flipped from 2012, how many didn't vote in 2012, etc. Anyway, my point is not that I know that's what swung it for Trump. That would be reductive. I just think it's also reductive to say voters would have stumbled over themselves to go out and vote for...

    Election post mortems are kind of a Rorschach test. Everyone thinks the candidate lost because of a failure to get behind his own favorite issues. For example, I am inclined to think that average small-town Wisconsin voter got fed up with a combination of jobs heading overseas and having the...

    Bernie is endorsing Keith Ellison for DNC chair, the same guy who just recently says he doesn't fault the Democrats for a losing strategy. He also claims that Trump won because of the "poison" he threw on Hillary. You'd think the Dems would get a little introspective, but perhaps not. More Lena...

    I will say that I am willing to give him a chance. I share some of his Buchananite positions. I just never have believed that he is sincere. Hopefully he proves me wrong. I am very glad for the death of the Clinton dynasty and its open borders, open war positions. We'll see what comes of Chelsea.

    I liken all this to the year the Mavs beat the Heat in the Finals. At first I was all, "HEAT LOSE!" Then I came back down when I remembered that means the Mavs won.

    You honestly think his Middle America base is going to make people getting yanked out of their cars and beaten to a pulp "look adorable?" Let's say his white nationalist fringe supporters go berserk. Do you really think there is enough of them to cause problems in major cities all over the...

    The worst of it has been the use of the organs of culture to marginalize people with traditional views of morality. I think a lot of this backlash (ironic) is from people who have been in the echo chamber so long that the success of any figure they disagree with just doesn't compute. I do think...

    A pollster on NPR yesterday says they erred in not accounting for the fact that the incumbent usually gets somewhere around the average of what they were getting all along, while the challenger can get late surges as people change their minds. And Hillary was basically the incumbent.
