The victim is also forced to say “F*** Trump,” “I love black people,” and kiss the floor. The four suspects cut and repeatedly hit the victim, and can be heard shouting "F*** Donald Trump! F*** white people!," "beat his ass," and "he gonna be a corpse."

Shocking moment Chicago teen gang - including two girls - 'kidnap and torture' special-needs man while streaming entire ordeal live on Facebook and screaming racist and anti-Trump remarks Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4089510/Four-people-arrested-footage-young-man-beaten-tortured-streamed-live-Facebook.html Four teens have been arrested after sickening footage of a young man allegedly being held hostage, beaten and tortured was live-streamed on Facebook. Two men and two women, believed to all be aged 18, were taken into custody by Chicago police on Wednesday after authorities were made aware of the 30-minute social media video. It is believed the victim, a young man in his teens or early 20s, went to school with one of the suspects and has special needs. The footage shows the four black people allegedly holding the white man hostage in an apartment on the 3400 block of West Lexington on Chicago's West Side on Tuesday.- The Politics Thread
Omarosa officially joins White House staff http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4089018/She-officially-hired-Trump-appoints-notorious-Apprentice-contestant-Omarosa-public-engagement-role-White-House.html Omarosa Manigault, who gained national fame for being a combative contestant on the reality show The Apprentice, will bring her sharp elbows to the White House. Manigault, who prefers to be called just 'Omarosa,' will join the White House in a public engagement role. Her official title will be that of director of communications for the office of public liaison. The hiring of Manigault, 42, will come as little surprise to those who have followed the career of the one-time Apprentice villain, as she has been a long-time vocal supporter of Trump, and even helped in his transition team.- The Politics Thread
Trump: Chicago needs to seek US help if it can't cut murder rate http://www.businessinsider.com/r-trump-says-chicago-must-seek-us-help-if-no-progress-cutting-murders-2017-1 U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said in a Twitter message on Monday that Chicago's mayor must ask for U.S. government help if the city fails to reduce its homicide rate, which hit a 20-year high in 2016. The city responded that Trump and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel had previously spoken and agreed to ways the federal government could help. "Chicago murder rate is record setting - 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!" Trump tweeted.- The Politics Thread

GOP rejoices over Pelosi win http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/11/30/gop-celebrates-pelosi-win/94674304/ Nancy Pelosi had some unlikely fans celebrating her re-election as House minority leader Wednesday — loads of Republicans. Republicans — including members of President-elect Donald Trump’s team — gloated over Pelosi’s sweeping election over Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, Wednesday. But it wasn’t because they think she’s a good choice for Democrats, in fact, it’s the opposite.- The Politics Thread
No change needed: By selecting Nancy Pelosi, House Democrats think the party is just fine http://www.salon.com/2016/11/30/pelosi-breezes-to-victory-again-but-dont-expect-house-democrats-to-start-singing-kumbaya/ Pelosi’s 134-63 victory means that — assuming she serves out her two-year term, through the 2018 midterms — she will have been the top House Democrat for 15 years, longer than chamber legends like Tip O’Neill (10) and Bob Michel (14). Pelosi’s second-in-command and fellow septuagenarian, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, has held the top deputy position since 2003. They’ll be in good company, as next year’s Democratic House leadership has an average age of 72.- The Politics Thread

Conservatives have a lot more children than liberals, helping offset the supposed demographic shift. That's because conservatives live in more affordable, less populated areas where having a large family is cheap. Liberals tend to live in more expensive cities where education and childcare is more expensive. Also, conservatives generally do not believe in abortion or even contraception and will breed like rabbits. In addition, most LGBT do not have children. http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/11/states-conservative-as-their-women-are-fertile.html- The Politics Thread
That might be true for your company, but polls indicate that the rust belt voters overwhelmingly disapprove of the TPP. They voted for Trump in 2016 and will vote for him in 2020 if he keeps his word and not sign the TPP. Hillary supporting the TPP until the last few months and saying that coal plants should be shut down does not win over the rust belt voters. If the South right of work states are getting manufacturing jobs, then it only convinces the rust belt voters to vote Republican.- The View

Rust state (MI WI PA OH) voters hate the TPP. Obama pushed it and Hillary flip flopped on the issue. Meanwhile, Trump was against the TPP all along. If Trump keeps his word and refuses to sign the TPP, the rust state voters will reelect him. If he flip flops, then they won't.- The Politics Thread

He'll get a big money job. It's all about the money for him anyway. I don't know if it was in here before but this profile on Robby Mook, who has a job that is likely almost impossible (dealing with Hillary's many hangers-on and "advisers"), is pretty good. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/04/robby-mook-hillary-clinton-campaign-manager-profile Same with Kasich and Carson. They'll become lobbyists and earn millions. They know they can't win the election, they're just doing it for the name recognition to land that big time lobbyist job. - The Politics Thread
