This is critical information, and also shows the deviousness of these monsters.

The Resisterhood? @resisterhood
Steve Bannon, while everything was happening today, was made a member of Principals Committee at #NSC. He has no qualifications for this.
Matthew Miller? @matthewamiller
Note that Bannon has a higher status on the new NSC than the Director of National Intelligence and the Joint Chiefs Chairman. (link:

(54,408 posts)Now THERE'S a formula for disaster if ever I heard one.
As for Trump 2020, all I can say, is "fool me once," and he didn't even fool me the first time. My bet? If he somehow survives all four years in office, he will be SO unpopular that he'll say, "my work is done here," and walk away rather than suffer the embarrassment of defeat in the election. He would do well to have any food and drink he shares with Russians to be tested for Polonium first.

(54,408 posts)For that to happen, he would have to become such a liability to their party that they would have to feel motivated to make the move on their own, acting in self-defense.
That would be be one kind of drastic move, and he'd have to make some kind of mess to provide them with an incentive to do it. I think he's about 5% of the way there already. That's not much, but nineteen more weeks of this, and that makes 100%.

First and foremost, it is NOT NORMAL. Obama filed for 2012 reelection in April 2011. Incumbent declaring before midterms is unheard of. /2
Several MAJOR implications. If officially a candidate, can use candidate status to curry favor with PACs, businesses, other organizations /3
Because he's acting as Trump the candidate, not Trump the president. Different rules apply. /4
Even more importantly - completely changes how non profits can handle him. 501c3's cannot "campaign" or risk losing nonprofit status. /5
It means they can't speak negatively about him. Imagine @PPact having to convey risk to #PlannedParenthood w/ limits on how to address. /6
This throws nonprofits' strategy for next few years into chaos. They must figure out how to work against Trump w/o "campaigning." /7
And further muddies the already swampy ethical waters of financial gain, #conflictsofinterest & business transactions. /8
Filed 5PM #InaugurationDay2017. 5 HOURS after swearing in. This is what #TheResistance is up against. /9
Diabolical maneuvering to skirt all conventional forms of #resistance. Norms don't matter; it's all about finding new ways to silence us /10
Again, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Stay vigilant, stay ready to fight. We're going to have to defy our own norms to #resist. http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg?_201701209041436569+0
This is IRS regulation re. 501c3s. They're smart, creative & used to this, but adds add'l hurdles/potential legal battles they don't need.
:large
To re-clarify: likely motivation is raising $$ and using PACs for propaganda. Nonprofits know what they're doing. But consider 1/28 events.
W/ unprecedented legal/Constitutional challenges & Bannon at helm, don't rule out attacks on previously held norms re. how non-profs operate
