    Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly pushing to erase neo-Nazis and white supremacists from the US government’s counter-extremism programme by moving it to focus exclusively on Islamist terrorism.

    American officials briefed on the proposed changes told Reuters the Countering Violent Extremism (DVE) initiative could be renamed to “Countering Radical Islamic Extremism”.

    The reclassification would remove its work combating far-right attacks and mass shootings, such as the massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, which are rarely classified as terrorism by American authorities.

    Yeah, same here. You all know I was extremely concerned about what he might do if he won .... I still had no idea things would be this bad. I mean, this is all CRAZY. I hope Americans don't collectively try to bury their heads in the sand as a kind of coping mechanism, because I'm pretty sure that is what allows dictatorships to rise.

    This is a conservative with a warning. This is not a partisan issue.


    How to Build an Autocracy
    The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here’s the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.

    I'm only interested in the entertainment value, I can't tell you how many times I laugh out loud after reading his tweets. Last night I was flipping thru the various networks cracking up, you would have thought I was watching Steven Wright's greatest hits.
    Don't panic thou, the US dollar is still world currency, we still control NATO and the UN, we still have global intelligence and military presence, the Fed is still printing dollars faster than trumps tweeting and the sky hasn't fallen.
