Retreating to a sandbox catering primarily to them seems to go against their goals of trying to become mainstream. I doubt Trumpy would create an account there.
Where were you in '77?
Of course, one could reasonably believe that Trump is threatening them every time he says anything about them.
Did you just put reasonably and Trump in the same sentence?
I’m reasonably sure Trump is both mentally ill and evil.
So yes.

Quoted for truth.

Priebus demonstrated no ability to keep Trump from talking to anyone who wanted his ear. The president-elect enjoyed being courted. On December 14, a high-level delegation from Silicon Valley came to Trump Tower to meet him. Later that afternoon, according to a source privy to details of the conversation, Trump called Rupert Murdoch, who asked him how the meeting had gone.
“Oh, great, just great,” said Trump. “These guys really need my help. Obama was not very favorable to them, too much regulation. This is really an opportunity for me to help them.”
“Donald,” said Murdoch, “for eight years these guys had Obama in their pocket. They practically ran the administration. They don’t need your help.”
“Take this H-1B visa issue. They really need these H-1B visas.”
Murdoch suggested that taking a liberal approach to H-1B visas, which open America’s doors to select immigrants, might be hard to square with his promises to build a wall and close the borders. But Trump seemed unconcerned, assuring Murdoch, “We’ll figure it out.”
“What a f***ing idiot,” said Murdoch, shrugging, as he got off the phone.
Nothing contributed to the chaos and dysfunction of the White House as much as Trump’s own behavior. The big deal of being president was just not apparent to him. Most victorious candidates, arriving in the White House from ordinary political life, could not help but be reminded of their transformed circumstances by their sudden elevation to a mansion with palacelike servants and security, a plane at constant readiness, and downstairs a retinue of courtiers and advisers. But this wasn’t that different from Trump’s former life in Trump Tower, which was actually more commodious and to his taste than the White House.
Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary. He retreated to his own bedroom — the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms. In the first days, he ordered two television screens in addition to the one already there, and a lock on the door, precipitating a brief standoff with the Secret Service, who insisted they have access to the room. He reprimanded the housekeeping staff for picking up his shirt from the floor: “If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor.” Then he imposed a set of new rules: Nobody touch anything, especially not his toothbrush. (He had a longtime fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s — nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade.) Also, he would let housekeeping know when he wanted his sheets done, and he would strip his own bed.
If he was not having his 6:30 dinner with Steve Bannon, then, more to his liking, he was in bed by that time with a cheeseburger, watching his three screens and making phone calls — the phone was his true contact point with the world — to a small group of friends, who charted his rising and falling levels of agitation through the evening and then compared notes with one another.
“What a f***ing idiot,” said Murdoch, shrugging, as he got off the phone.

‘Ex-aide Bannon has lost his mind - Trump’…

‘Former White House aide Steve Bannon “lost his mind” after he lost his job at the White House, US President Donald Trump has said.’
A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

But he had to have had it to lose it.
Bannon is saying people around Trump were “treasonous” for meeting with the Russian. They’re all crazy.

They’re all turning on each other now? Good. More who will sing like canaries to save their own skin when called to testify.

Can’t tell if this latest move by Bannon is a play for leniency or relevance.
I hope he gets neither.
The startling amateurishness of the Trump team never ceases to amaze me:

You have the resources of the President of the United States at your disposal. You have a tight relationship with the end of the news spectrum that deals less in facts and more in sensationalism (your son-in-law ran a New York tabloid, the National Enquirer runs anything you want, Fox News defends your every errant outburst). You have more multimillionaires working with you than any recent President. You have a direct line to Wikileaks and Moscow if you need something to happen, appearing like it came from somewhere else. And all you need to do is discredit Mueller’s investigations.
So what do you do? You just call up your old buddy Richard the gossip columnist over at the New York Post and impersonate an anonymous source. Do you delegate it to a staffer, maybe someone with communications, legal, or media experience? No, you’ve done this impersonation thing before and you have the world’s most convincing fake accent. You cannot leave this to chance – you give up that coveted 1:30 tee time and make the call yourself. Do you run the text of what you say by anyone to see if it sounds either incredibly racist or maybe even idiosyncratically Trumpian? No, man. Hold my beer. I got this.
Seriously, if Trump was even 1% as competent as Nixon or Putin, we’d be fucked.
We’re still kinda fucked.
We’re still kinda fucked.
Agreed. But just imagine if someone with a clue about anything at all had some influence with the President.
We’d be more fucked.

Good news: Trump ends the voter fraud panel.
Bad news: He’s reassigned the “issue” of voter fraud to DHS, which is equally capable of pursuing a voter suppression agenda.

Isn’t that like having the CIA go after people who rip the tags off mattresses though?
