His proposed Cabinet and other senior nominees, and many of the actual announced picks so far, are the very core of the Republican establishment. His chief of staff is the chair of the RNC, for fuck’s sake. His Sec of Education is an anti-education extremist lunatic [who is at the very center](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19806502&postcount=83) of the secretive big-money Republican donor network. His nominee for head of the EPA is a moron who is a long-time CEI establishment anti-science lobbyist.

I can’t comment on above as I haven’t read about his appointments (haven’t followed American news after elections, consider the fact I haven’t ever been to USA and speak a different language).

But advice for you is not to overdramatize things. Take it easy. Or you come across as very biased.

Losing your good opinion is a blow, yes, but we can only hope to find the strength to carry on. Somehow.

News from this week:

**No Hindus will be left in Bangladesh after 30 years: professor**

> [@](#):

> DHAKA: NOVEMBER 22, 2016 16:26 IST  
> UPDATED: NOVEMBER 22, 2016 16:26 IST  
> No Hindus will be left in Bangladesh 30 years from now if the current rate of “exodus” continues as on an average 632 people from the minority community leave the Muslim-majority country each day, according to an eminent economist.
> 
> “The rate of exodus over the past 49 years points to that direction,” Dhaka Tribune quoted Dr Abul Barkat, a Dhaka university professor, as saying.
> 
> There will be no Hindus left in the country three decades from now, Barkat said in his book ‘Political economy of reforming agriculture-land-water bodies in Bangladesh’ which was published on November 19, the paper said.
> 
> From 1964 to 2013, around 11.3 million Hindus left Bangladesh due to religious persecution and discrimination which means on an average 632 Hindus left the country each day and 230,612 annually, he said at the book launch ceremony at the Dhaka University (DU).

> **[No Hindus will be left in Bangladesh after 30 years: professor](https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/No-Hindus-will-be-left-in-Bangladesh-after-30-years-professor/article16675228.ece)**

Now Bangladesh is considered a secular nation. Supposedly One of the better Muslim nations when it comes to religious tolerance.

Please know that Islam is a cancer. This doesn’t mean I disrespect Muslims at individual level. I love and respect everyone. Knowing that Islam is cancer is compatible with loving and respecting everyone including Muslims.

Speaking hate while claiming to love everyone is BOTH stupid and hypocritical. Congratulations, you have now proven yourself to lack BOTH intelligence and morality.

^  
Your opinion. I don’t mind.

My opinion about a few people over is that they are emotionally unstable people right now having low IQ. I am sure they won’t mind as well.

That they will not mind an ankle biter, of course, does not make it any less true that you are immoral and ignorant as you persuasively establish over and over again.

But I’m pretty sure, though, that Bangladeshis could make the effort to like Trump because apparently he’s not a bad person.

I haven’t been there.  
But actually only the bigger cities will be crowded as more and more people move in from rest of the country and cities aren’t properly planned. Smaller towns, villages etc. wont be crowded.
