The Trump Team Takes Shape, and It's Not Pretty (Their Tears are Sweet)
SPLC ^ | 11-10-2016 | Mark Potok

Posted on 11/11/2016 12:03:31 AM PST by brucedickinson

As word of the identity of many of Trump’s transition team members leaked out in the last day or so, it’s become apparent that America’s 45th president will be relying on a number of people who, by any reasonable measure, are right-wing extremists.

The best known of them is Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state who has worked to suppress votes in that state and elsewhere by claiming to be battling a major vote fraud problem. Kobach has for many years been “of counsel” to the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which is the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has for many years listed FAIR as a hate group — its founder has written that the United States should have “a European-American majority, and a clear one at that,” and corresponded with Klan lawyers, Holocaust deniers and others as he

I read an article not long ago about Obama’s administration. It laid out how many staffers are muslims—I was floored.

For the left following the rule of law is right wing extremism. The swamp is deeper than we thought, we will still drain it.

Stopping voter fraud is as key to the security and defense of our republic and its democratic process as it gets .....

If I buy alcohol , cigarettes, drive a car or fly commercial I must have a photo ID.

Yet voting I can use someones water bill I found in a dumpster named Kowalski and through a spanish interpreter I can sign a form , also in spanish, declaring that I am in fact the one and only Mr Tralphast Papindowski Kowalski an am qualified to vote. I can do do this all day multiple times on election we’re I to decide to do such to wreck havoc on any election.

Fix or at least make voter fraud extremely hard if not near impossible to do.

Number one repair , for national security, to complete ASAP in my opinion !

Deal with it numbnuts. We’ve seen all manner of left-wing extremists parade through the Obama administration for the last eight years, now it’s our turn.

For these haters on the Left, they have a whole lot of people to hate. Millions of them who they consider the deplorables. The deplorables are the new ni&&er who must sit down, shut up and go to the back of the bus.

These leftist yahoos have a long history of prejudiced bigotry born out of the desire to hate. It is hate for its own purposes. It all starts with a elevated opinion of themselves which motivates them to select others for the status of peon. The resolution of their hatred only comes when they are able to exert totalitarian rule over those they consider their inferiors. It is the age old desire to elevate oneself by putting others down. This is what our forefathers considered when the wrote our Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They knew who these yahoos were and how they hate.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (a misnamed organization if there ever was one) is going to be extinguished when George Soros is fed to the worms.

The ACLU is another one. These commie groups think they can continue to run under the radar pretending to be benevolent organizations. They will be exposed as who and what they are. Patience, my friends, patience.

First and foremost, Trump needs to stop the leaks! Anyone who leaks should be removed.
