Trump staffers face threat of blacklist

Politico: When Matt Braynard signed on to run Donald Trump’s data team last fall, he got an email from a veteran GOP operative to whom he was close warning, “You realize once you go Trumptard, your career in GOP politics is over?”
Braynard took the job anyway, explaining that he believed in Trump, and that he wasn’t worried about being blacklisted. “This isn’t a career, it’s a vocation, and only God can take that away,” he said he responded.

But according to interviews with more than a dozen operatives — including several who oppose Trump, some who support him and the leaders of some prominent D.C. political shops — some of those who go to work for Trump face an implicit, and occasionally overt, threat: Help Trump, and you’ll never work in this town again.
It may be unenforceable, but the push to stigmatize Trump’s aides, advisers and vendors is among the last remaining pieces of ammunition available to a Republican establishment that has tried just about everything else to block the billionaire from taking over of the GOP. And, critically, it has complicated Trump’s efforts in recent weeks to hire top-tier operatives, according to sources familiar with Trump’s campaign.
Already, the conservative digital firm Targeted Victory has fielded questions about its relationship with Trump’s campaign, for which it has been paid nearly $106,000 for processing online payments. And the venerable law firm Jones Day has faced internal grumbling about its work for the Trump campaign (which has paid the firm $672,000 for legal consulting). Multiple staffers at the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity turned down Trump’s entreaties, in part because they were “concerned about what that would do to their reputation in professional circles going forward,” as one staffer familiar with the entreaties explained.
Meanwhile, the board of directors of the multipartisan American Association of Political Consultants quietly debated whether to publicly call out Trump for capitalizing on racial and religious tensions and the ethics of those working to elect him. (They ultimately decided against weighing in.)

I Still Got It

Some guys thought this woman had the hots for me, so her friend called her about me and after he reminded her who I was and where I was sitting, she said, “Oh, is he straight?”

A White Supremacist Argues With Liberals

From Wikipedia:

Andrew Alan Escher Auernheimer[2] (/ˈɔːrənhaɪmər/ aw-rən-hy-mər;[3] born September 1, 1985), also known by his pseudonym weev, is an American black hat[4] hacker, white nationalist, and Internet troll.[5][6][7] He has identified himself using a variety of aliases to the media, although most sources correctly provide his first name as Andrew.[7][8] weev is leader of an anti-semitic network of computer hackers that wages cyber-attacks against colleges. Several publications, including Gawker and The New York Times, have labeled weev as “legendary.”

Auernheimer claimed responsibility for the reclassification of many books on gay issues as pornography on Amazon’s services in April 2009.[11][12] Amazon said that Auernheimer was not responsible for the incident.[13] Even before the Amazon incident, several media publications profiled Auernheimer regarding his hacking and trolling activities, notably The New York Times, in which he claimed to be a member of a hacker group called “the organization,” making $10 million annually. He also claimed to be the owner of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.[10][14][15] After the Times story on Auernheimer was published, reporters sought out Auernheimer for commentary on hacking-related stories. Gawker published a story on the Sarah Palin email hacking incident and prominently featured Auernheimer’s comments in the title of the story.

In October 2014, Auernheimer published an article in the neo-Nazi blog The Daily Stormer in which he revealed himself to be a white nationalist. He displayed photographs of his tattoos, one in the shape of a Swastika. He described his prison time as “thousands of hours yelling the Eddas at the top of my lungs and scrawling runes on the concrete walls.”[46][47] In 2012, Auernheimer told Gawker that he had Jewish ancestry,[48] though in the same article, Auernheimer claimed to have converted to Mormonism. Indeed, as the author points out, “Auernheimer deploys a peculiar rhetorical strategy that he’s learned to work to his advantage: he peppers his conversation with bizarre but true facts and historical references — he has an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Greek history, world religions and contemporary U.S. anti-government extremists, among other things — then hits you with dubious details about his own life.”

According to PandoDaily, Auernheimer was living in Serbia as of 2014 in order to avoid further prosecution from the United States.[49] A report in 2016 stated he was living “somewhere in Eastern Europe”, but that his exact location was unknown.[1]

After Adult FriendFinder was hacked and customer information was released, Auernheimer searched through the files and used Twitter to publicly identify customers. He told CNN, “I went straight for government employees because they seem the easiest to shame.”[50]

As of October 2015, Auernheimer has been working in conjunction with independent-journalist Charles C. Johnson to publish names of government employees who were exposed by the Ashley Madison data breach and to post those names on Johnnson’s site, GotNews.com.[51][52][53] He has also been involved in the Planned Parenthood video release, which were under Temporary Restraining Order. As described in the Washington Post article, he did it “For the lulz.”[54][55]

In March 2016, Auernheimer hacked into several printers across several American universities and printed out thousands of flyers promoting The Daily Stormer. Auernheimer claimed to have use a “common tool” to scour the internet for vulnerable printers and ended up finding over a million insecure devices…

Auernheimer has published a number of podcasts and keeps a LiveJournal blog[10] in which he offers commentary on racial and cultural issues. His views have proved controversial, causing Philip Elmer-DeWitt to dub him “the ugliest computer hacker”.[56] Rolling Stone calls his hacking results racist and homophobic[57] while others have interpreted his work as deliberately offensive humor, with Fox News calling it “offensive and witty detail”[58] and a Forbes author telling readers to “think: Shakespeare’s Puck”;[59] an Atlantic magazine author called this Puck reference “oddly generous.”[60]

On Red Ice Radio, Andrew reasoned that “And the way I look at the term ‘white supremacy’… Isn’t white supremacy diversity? Like, Africans are supreme in Africa, right? Like, it’s not like the Chinese aren’t supreme in China. Why shouldn’t Whites be supreme in the nations of their forefathers? That just seems to me to be equality and diversity to me.”[61]

Auernheimer is an advocate for free speech. He defended the satirical wiki Encyclopedia Dramatica in a Ninemsn interview[62] which was cited as “rather brilliant” in an article about Australian Internet censorship published in The Register.[63] His actions have sometimes been described as hacktivism —- Australian media commentator Emma Jane has characterized him as a “celebrity hacktivist”.[64]

Auernheimer has shown support for the Occupy Wall Street protest movement, stating that he “had a strong decade of infuriating rich people.”[65]

Auernheimer has stated publicly that he is an admirer of Timothy McVeigh, Andrew Stack, and Marvin Heemeyer.[66][67]

The Daily Dot wrote of his white nationalism that “Auernheimer’s rant has served mostly to put a wide chasm between the important case he was a part of from the ideas he got in prison and now loudly espouses.”

The famous internet troll Weev posts: Sure we can, all we have to do is use traditional multivariate testing methodologies from the advertising industry. I have tested this s**t on scales that most of you will never have the opportunity to. It just doesn’t pay to give much of a nod to sobbing moralists.

You know, I used to deny being a white supremacist and claim I was a white nationalist. It was terrible. Shitlibs still heard “neonazi white male supremacist cisscum” no matter what I said and supporters heard me having a boring semantic argument with a liberal.

Then I got a swastika tattoo and switched to a rebuttal. “There’s black supremacy in Lagos, and Asian Supremacy in Shanghai. The fact that you only complain about dismantling the just supremacy of whites in their ethnic homelands shows you to be an anti-white genocidal monster, and if you threaten our people with death we’re going to gleefully and unapologetically bash the skulls of your infants on the pavement and rape your daughters before we slice you apart slowly. White supremacy is a moral imperative. Whites must have ethnic homelands of our own, just as all the other races do. That’s true diversity and equality.”

This scares the s**t out of liberals and forces them to rebuttal, and they have no rebuttal for this, because it is true. Liberals not only hear the same “neonazi white male supremacist cisscum” but they see it being assertively advanced by an intellectual superior and they cower in dread. I’m a proud white supremacist now. I will not play semantic or pedantic games and I will not apologize. They will give us our homes back, and that’s not going to happen peacefully.

They will not be afraid if you take violence off the table. What we actually do with power once we seize it is up for debate, but the best thing to do is make shitlibs understand that they must bow at the altar of white supremacy and beg for the penances of beatings and slavery, lest a robotic Einherjar programmed for revenge stream the slaughter of their families on Twitch.

What Will A Donald Trump America Look Like?

A Jewish friend says: Dear Luke,

Thank you for soliciting my opinion about this. There is no assurance that Trump will be nominated let alone elected, but if he is, you have my predictions in writing and we will see how good I am.

It is crucial to note that Trump, (like Obama) is at least a partial cipher when it comes to what he really believes, and many of his supporters assume he shares their hopes and fears and will govern accordingly. I think that many of them will be very disappointed, not only because he won’t be able to deliver on many promises, but because the actual policies he implements may differ widely from their expectations.

Once Trump assembles his team (Cabinet officers and especially his chief of staff and press secretary) and we seek the make up of Congress, we will have a better idea what he will try to do.

Also, we don’t know to what effect events beyond his control such as a market crash, implosion of the economy, terrorist actions and moves by in particular China and Russia will affect his decisions.

That being said I think Trump will seek to do the following:

(1) cut back on wasteful government spending. This is always the position that reformers take, including Arnold when he was governor. There are many institutional barriers to true reform and we shall see whether Trump can change the procurement process for drugs and for military hardware, two areas he has singled out in the debates.
(2) cut back on America’s foreign commitments. I think he will do this both in Europe and the Middle East, and East Asia. One thing that people forget is that the United States after WWII took on the role the British navy performed. The U.S. keeps the sea lanes open around the world. This enables shipments of very expensive loads of manufactured goods (say cars and electronics) to come from Asia with limited fear of piracy. We don’t charge for this, but that is because we don’t want any other nation to do this, either because we don’t trust them or just want the control. Trump may cut this back, or demand that the countries which avail themselves of operating under our defensive umbrella pay for it.
(3) increase infrastructure spending within the U.S. This will likely have bipartisan support and will hopefully help us rebuild our manufacturing and skilled construction sector by employing more people.
(4) speak out in favor of free speech and against political correctness when it inhibits free speech.

In large part we live in an administrative state. Some portions of that state exert enormous power over the sectors of the economy and the American people they are supposed to protect. Two of the most politicized departments are the environmental protection agency and the justice department. We will have a better idea how Trump intends to govern by whom he appoints to head those departments and if the persons he appoints are able to marginalize “true believers” and replace them with persons who share their political philosophy.

The courts will also give us a clue. Trump’s sister is a centrist and well respected Appellate Judge. I think he will probably rely on her and try to appoint persons like her. I don’t think he will go for an ideologue such as Scalia, or Thomas, so if he is elected the right wing will be very upset about it. But as other’s die off, Ruth Ginsburg for example he will also replace her with a centrist. He has the opportunity to depoliticize the court and I think he will do that through his appointments.
