Hail To The Chief (Read Mod Warning In OP)

You make it sound like Trump is doing this to try to help the media. This is no more than a way to move the press off the site and away from the WH, less chance of them 'bumping' into a story.

Your trying to make it sound like that.

It's going to be interesting watching the alt right and their fellow travelers try to spin Trump in power.

What about the FBI? What is 4chan saying about it now? I don't go to those kinds of alt right places so you'll have to fill us in on your travels across the internet.

In Hank's defense while I couldn't disagree more with him on most of everything, I did point him to the alt right subreddit (quit separate to 'The_Donald' one) a few weeks back in one of the politics forum threads, and his take on them was (to paraphrase) "that scum can f*** off and die".

Now true he was bringing up 4chan earlier and has I believe said he doesn't have much issue with The_Donald subreddit, but those two for my money tend to be largely trolling and an immature lack of any kind of forethought on full display, where as the "real" alt right (as opposed to the "alt lite" is a white supremacist movement of incredibly scummy proportions that is attempting (and in many cases, succeeding) in masking itself in the sheep's wool (relatively speaking) of the gobsh*terry typically seen on the other ones. I just think it's incredibly important to distinguish the alt-right for what they really are (and indeed many alt-rightists are members of 4chan and The_Donald), and to make sure not to do their work for them by blanketing them all in together, ala Clinton's "basket full of deplorables" comment.

For reference - pay attention to the content and perhaps more importantly, the tone of the following three:
4chan - http://boards.4chan.org/pol/
The_Donald - https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/
Alt-Right - https://www.reddit.com/r/altright/ (there's a reason this is the only one with an age wall!)
***NSFW Warning: The alt-right one typically has some seriously bad stuff you probably don't want employers confusing you as interested in.

The CIA are very worried about Trump's tendency to "shoot from the hip" type of communication, there is a real risk that he could blurt out something that has dire consequences for people or countries.


Careless talk costs lives, still true today.

The only question is how much will the GOP put up with before The Donald is sent packing.

Agree with almost all of that, although I would hold the donald in higher regard than a bunch of immature people or whatever. It was the best resource out there during the campaign for mining the Wikileaks releases.

I don't visit 4chan or any alt right sub reddit/forum just to clear it up. Appreciate the comment.

Plenty in the media propagated that story.

What has that got to do with the conversation I was having?

The Donald subreddit is now basically an expanded version of Trumps Twitter. Same kind of childish posts and insults.

No, I am taking the evidence to date and using that as a basis to judge possible intentions.

Trump openly distrusts the media, sees many of them as his enemy. He opted out of any press conferences for 6 months preferring to deliver his own message unquestioned.

What makes you think he suddenly cares for the media, for that is the excuse team Trump is pushing?

What makes you think I think that?

How do you know who made the threats? Aren't the CT types all over 'false flags?' Cuts both ways - it was the neonazi/altwhatevers that did it. There ya go.

Prob the same people who sent death threats to the electors.
