First
signs of the Trump oncoming presidency
Mike
Pence, is often portrayed as a counterbalance to Trump and called a
"bridge to the establishment." But our guest Jeremy
Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, says Pence’s ascendance to
the second most powerful position in the U.S. government is a
"tremendous coup for the radical religious right. Pence—and
his fellow Christian supremacist militants—would not have been able
to win the White House on their own. For them, Donald Trump was a
godsend."
Mike
Pence is not just against gay people being together in a
relationship; he wants to legislate a ban on those issues. He wants
to repeal Roe v. Wade. As he said, he wants to put it in the ash heap
of history. Their primary agenda, on a social level, is basically
taking us back to medieval times when it comes to the rights of
women, the rights of immigrants, the rights of the poor, the
humanhood of all of these sort of vulnerable, targeted groups.
Mike
Pence is an extremely hawkish neocon when it comes to redrawing maps
in the Middle East. He is now coming to terms with the fact that he
loves torture.
First of
all, they’re lying to those workers, you know, that they’re going
to be reopening this booming coal industry. You know, for reasons
that have nothing to do with the environment, they’re going to lose
that. But to have a—to have two people running this country who
have either dog-whistled or blatantly said that climate change is a
hoax bodes very, very dim for the prospects of our environment and
the world that we’re going to leave our children and our
grandchildren.

Well,
even the avoidance of an open conflict with Russia becomes more
and more doubtful under Trump presidency. Pay attention to the new
signals sent by Romney. He said that he had with Trump a “far
reaching conversation with regards to the various
theaters in the world where there are interests
of the United States of real significance.”
According
to all recent developments, including the first who have been
picked by Trump to serve in key positions, we conclude,
unfortunatelly, that we were right. Of course, the possibility to
pardon
the Whistleblowers sounds
like a joke. What is rather certain, is that Trump will mark a
transition into a neofeudalism, where the cruel police state will
be further reinforced on the pretext of terrorism, in order to
protect the super-rich from "unexpected" resistance from
the impoverished masses.
