JPR OP Title "Lots of Mistaken Trump Defenders on JPR" For once someone there is right

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/lot-of-mistaken-trump-defenders-on-jpr/

"Get past the surface and you’ll see that ALL of Trump’s actions to date have advanced the interests of the wealthiest and most powerful. What a coincidence..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet several folks there voted for Trump and said as much proudly. Folks many of us here thought we knew. Many folks in that thread are still trying to justify their votes there and explain why it was better to vote Trump.

And in advance of those folks who are going to reply criticizing me for talking about JPR, it is important to examine how people saying they are on the left can go off the rails to the point they supported this loon we have in the White House, screwing us all.

Donald Trump's disapproval rating among Americans is skyrocketing.

Donald Trump's disapproval rating among Americans is skyrocketing.

Trump's 55% disapproval level in Gallup polling already equals the worst of Obama's Presidency which occurred in Nov 2014. Trump's net -15% approval (55% disapproval vs 40% approval) is worse than Obama ever had. Obama's worst was -12% in Nov 2014 https://goo.gl/csfj4U

The oddest thing to me about the CD National Guard Commander being removed is...

... there is no new Commander named. Someone on FB asked me if there will be a change of command ceremony.

The simple answer is there can't be one. Why? Because there is no new commander named. That's what you have at a change of command ceremony. The outgoing commander ceremoniously hands a flag to the new commander and the deed is done.

We have no new commander here. The deputy will serve as acting commander simply on the basis of the chain of command, not because they have been named.
