Rumors are he's getting ready to sign some pretty big orders against LGBT community.

Trump's actions had me depressed last week, but this past weekend's insanity has me angry and pissed off.
We are in uncharted and disturbing territory.

And now he's sacked the Attorney General after she said she was not convinced of the legality of his immigration ban. LINK

This is all just insane!
I'd like to get some feedback from you guys...you're an intelligent bunch and I could really use some help processing this. It's been floating around Facebook the past couple of days and it's scary as hell.
I don't know much about the guy that wrote it. I really am not looking to get fitted for a tinfoil hat! Problem is, a lot of these pieces fit!
Can somebody please talk me off the ledge and convince me this is or isn't just "Black Helicopter" nonsense!?!

Not a Trump fan (and not even an American) so I have no say here, but isn't this a bit of an overreaction? Obama blocked refugees from Iraq and Cuba and so did Clinton (Iraq). He didn't block the huge Muslim countries like Indonesia and India so saying it is a ban on Muslims is a bit extreme. The other stuff I don't know but I really doubt the American Military would put up with a coup. Trump could be using the Russian playbook by discrediting the press and finding scapegoats and pandering to the religious but the difference is that I doubt America would stand for a dictator. A Theocracy? Maybe, especially in certain areas, but not a dictator. Again, not American and my only connection with the US right now is expats, who are appalled by what's happening and are quite glad they are out of the country.

“I’m a Leninist,” Steve Bannon told a writer for The Daily Beast, in late 2013. “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal, too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.”

No, Neil, definitely not an overreaction. He's already systematically hobbling this country at the highest level. Once he's able to put his own people in place (good by Secret Service? Hello private security?) we're fucked. Unless the military does an actual coup, which I doubt they'll do, he's opening wide the gates for a foreign power to come in and take full control of the US.
This is not hyperbole, this is what's happening so far.... Our freedom is at stake here.

When he's appointing his own people that are not subject to senate scrutiny above others traditionally high-ranking roles that are subject to senate scrutiny, it's chipping away at the checks and balances that are in place.

Brian Miller: Rumors are he's getting ready to sign some pretty big orders against LGBT community. ------------------------------------------------- I think that came from Trump saying he was going to undo "every" executive order that Obama put in place, however... http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/31/512606452/ white-house-says-obamas-order-on-lgbtq-rights-will-stay-in-e ffect

From Micheal's link: In today's statement, the White House says, "The President is proud to have been the first ever GOP nominee to mention the LGBTQ community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression."
Yet, he somehow justices not having Jews mentioned for Holicaust Rememberance Day..... it almost causes physics pain to try and understand this guy.
