Galatians 6:7

President-elect Donald Trump's choices for leadership posts threaten national unity and promise to turn back the clock on progress for racial, religious and sexual minorities, civil rights leaders and others said Friday after his nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general.
Comments attributed to Trump's picks, also including alt-right architect Stephen Bannon as senior adviser and chief strategist and former Army Lt. Michael Flynn as national security adviser, serve to embolden everyday Americans to lash out at members of minority groups, they said.
Sessions, of Alabama, was denied a federal judgeship in 1986 after hearings in which he was accused of making racially charged remarks as a U.S. attorney. According to transcripts, Sessions was accused, among other things, of joking that he thought the Ku Klux Klan "was OK" until he learned they smoked marijuana, and of calling a black assistant U.S. attorney "boy." During the hearing, Sessions denied making some of the comments and said others were jokes taken out of context.
"Every American should be concerned about the direction of the U.S. Department of Justice and oppose any nominee who threatens to turn back the clock on civil rights by 50 years," said National Urban League President Marc Morial.
Bannon led the Breitbart website, which has widely condemned as racist, sexist and anti-Semitic. In a 2011 radio interview, he said conservative women infuriated liberals because they "would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children," contrasting that against a slur for lesbians.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has called the accusations against Bannon "very unfair."
Lennie Gerber, an 80-year-old resident of High Point, North Carolina, who led the fight against her state's ban on same-sex marriage, said she worried Trump's appointments will further incite such sentiments among the public.

Well that’s what happens when you treat THE MAJORITY like a MINORITY for 8 years, you get slapped down.
I’ll take Alarm Minorities for $100, Alex.
And the answer is . . .
I am so not that tech savvy.

alt-right "architect"? Just making stuff up as we are going along here. And the media wonders why increasing numbers of people don't believe a word they have to say.

This is all by design. The Left makes minorities aggrieved in order to keep power.
Sounds like adults are going to be in charge again.
We have to fight political correctness to the hilt. They want to silence us and take away the right to free speech. We have to fight that.
Steve Bannon is great! Do not blink, Mr. Trump!
Makes their "yeah but" look as stupid as it is with their unending specious attacks. Trump will have no choice but to use the Bully Pulpit to keep their lies in the open.
President-elect Donald Trump’s choices for leadership posts threaten national unity HAHAHAHAHA national unity?
At this point, Trump could appoint Jesus to a Cabinet position, and the deranged left would complain. They will complain, simply because it’s Trump doing the appointing.
The DIMs...LIBs...LEFTY LOSERS...are all lunatics whose utterings only further prove their idiocy. I ridicule them and laugh at them until my dieing day. Losers...idiots.
