Under normal ideological circumstances I would be too. But Trump is as unconventional as you can get.
Both Trump and Webb has changed parties ... both have the same idea when it comes to foreign adventures ... Trump wants to build up the Navy to 350 ships and that is very much in line with Webb.
Only speaking for myself but I'll be impressed if Trump hires Webb for one of the two jobs.
or...Trump is not who his election rhetoric made him out to be(with status quo, establishment media assistance). I've been saying that all along. Ask red or AO.Originally Posted by Storekeeper

His success seems to me to be the result of a huge inheritance and guidance of highly paid hired guns (lawyers). So I'll give him his due on hiring talented people.
IMHO this is unique ... nothing like the Bush clan or the Clinton clan or the Kennedy clan or the ... What's the name of that political family from Ohio? ... One of them was President and then a Supreme Court justice.
Dont forget now ... Even the Clintons had to bring David Gergen onboard to guide them through the first few years.

You all can take this with a grain of salt but I've been reading this Brandon Smith @ Alt-Market.com for awhile now and he's usually pretty accurate. here's an excerpt from an article he posted yesterday(that's my red highlighting):
link: World Suffers From Trump Shell Shock - Here?s What Will Happen Next
Before we even go there...no I don't buy any of the prepper shit they're selling on that site. That's not my thing. I just read Brandon's stuff for free.This is not something many Trump supporters want to hear. The response in the liberty movement to my prediction that the elites would allow Trump into office was rather predictable as well. In my article ‘Why The U.S. Election Has The Entire World Confused’ I stated:“I have not taken this position just to be contrary. If I think about it honestly, my position is truly a losing position. If I am mistaken and Clinton wins on the 8th then I’ll probably never hear the end of it, but that’s a risk that has to be taken, because what I see here is a move on the chess board that others are not considering. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.This seems to be the reaction from about half the liberty movement so far; a general blind faith and bias, clinging to the idea that the election (just like the Brexit) was a victory, and that conservatives had just won the culture war and defeated the globalists. It’s funny how it wasn’t much of a controversy when everyone thought I was wrong about Trump winning in the first place.
That said, if I am right, then I still lose, because Trump supporters and half the liberty movement will be so enraptured that they will probably ignore the greater issue — that Trump is the candidate the elites wanted all along.”
There are two primary arguments that come up with these people. First, that my view on the influence of the elites is “unrealistic” and that the elites would have to be “omnipotent” in order to succeed in directing the outcome of these events so effectively. I will address this argument in detail in my next article on the Trump presidency and what the consequences will be for us all if Trump turns out not to be a constitutionalist.
The second argument they present is that the elites “will never succeed” in blaming Trump and conservatives for an economic crisis that was decades in the making. To the people that embrace this argument I say — I understand mass psychology far better than you do.
The reality is, half of America is ALREADY primed to blame Trump for everything that happens over the next four years (if we even make it that long). Possession is nine-tenths of the law in the minds of many. Beyond that, every meme in the global media and on the left is promoting the idea that Trump is an apocalypse in the making. Even Germany’s ‘Der Spiegal’ published its after-election magazine with a cover depicting Trump’s head as a giant comet hurtling towards the Earth. Don’t tell me that Trump cannot be blamed for an economic crisis. Only a complete idiot would suggest that he is anything other than the perfect scapegoat.
At bottom, it does not matter whether people believe the above predictions or not. I have hundreds of emails from readers who called me a “tinfoil hatter” in the past and are now apologizing. So, if you plan to react in a knee-jerk fashion to the notion that Trump and conservatives are being set up by the elites for a final financial flagellation, be sure to write two letters — one for today saying I’ve lost touch, and the other for tomorrow when you find out I was right once again.

It is true the us and the world is in an even worse financial position now then before the 2008 crash. The left wingers have driven debt to insane levels. Maybe the best thing the states can do is mint some billion or trillion dollar coins and pay off their debt with them hehe.
An example of left wing financial insanity is bringing Greece into the eu when they were already bankrupt, and then letting them falsify for 10 15 years their financial position letting it really get unbelievably worse and then bailing them out. The whole green power scheme has been a disaster, the open borders a disaster, everything they've done has been a disaster. Its almost as if they want a total collapse so they can then what? Seize power. I don't know.
I don't know either...but I don't think it will end well.Originally Posted by pulvarien
Elsewhere in that article Brandon says this: "Globalists use one strategy above all others to achieve their goals — the Hegelian Dialectic; problem, reaction, solution."
I'd add that the globalists use the Hegelian Dialetic with plenty of Machiavellian twists added in.
If you are talking about the US debt, the fact is most of the debt can be attributed to the Bush tax cuts and the Iraq and Afganistan wars.Originally Posted by pulvarien

"Flynn is a registered Democrat, having grown up in a "very strong Democratic family".[36] However, he was a keynote speaker during the first night of the 2016 Republican National Convention,[29] and he is a surrogate and top national security adviser for president-elect Donald Trump"

Really? This guy doesn't realise what a state leader's visit entails. It's almost as though he was going to suggest she stay at Trump Towers and he'll give her a discount.Originally Posted by Rigger
He thinks he can just pass on his regards to the Queen via the PM?
It's no storm in a teacup, but quite a serious matter that he has absolutely no idea how international diplomacy works.

Huh? If it was behind a paywall I wouldn't be reading it. It's not even really news, it's Brandon Smith's take on things...his opinion in other words. Like I said he's been pretty accurate.Originally Posted by Storekeeper
What, did you get Professor Snowflake's memo on what is real news and what is fake news?Originally Posted by Storekeeper
edit: a limerick from the comments at that Professor Snowflake link:
"A limerick on watching the news
Be careful of sources you choose
For many are fake
With claims that they make
Like, "Hillary Clinton can't lose""

The right wing propaganda machine won on election night. Facebook blew it. They had a staff that reviewed data that was posted. Then the alt right propaganda machine went nuts. The staff got absolved. A major fuck up Mark. We need to be more active in this countries elections. Ugg.
^ No, it's ok to whine at a bad outcome. The rednecks and gullible ignoratti voted. Doesn't mean it was a good outcome...on the contrary, when the ignorant masses do speak, it usually means a bad outcome.
