this argument. Indirectly acknowledging that Trump is horrible by saying, "x would've done y so how dare you complain". Thanks for the laugh. Anybody would've been better than the clown we have in power now. The only thing that matters is what's happening now. Clinton doesn't ****ing matter now.

This is the only online forum I've ever seen where tptb actively troll the userbase. It's quite refreshing.

He is definitely fearful of brown people.

Is Trump really "afraid" of stairs or is he just a lazy fat old ****?

I thought the SS gave Mason a call to let him know about this negative thread about the leader showing up on the google.

Both? Def fat and lazy. Not sure if it's been confirmed, but there's a recent video that fits the phobia narrative, of him and the British PM walking together where he clutches her hand while they descend a small incline in the walkway. Seems apparent to me he wasn't doing it to be gallant.

We'd already be involved in war, eh? On day 17?

The mod policy here is to let DS do whatever the **** he wants, so I guess we're stuck with it.

Maybe testing whether this thread gets less views from non-registered users if we rename it to something stupid, in the hope that it results in less recently registered trolls coming in? If it's not, might be a good idea either way

Pretty sure Bannon will have trump going after the Jews next, so a little preemptive boot licking is probably in order.

Whoa so now thread titles are blocked if you blocked the OP? Weird.

EDIT: Nevermind. Stupid title change.

As it turned out, Hitler used the tactics of bluff masterfully, at times giving the impression of being a feckless Chaplinesque clown, at other times a sleeping serpent, at others yet a trustworthy statesman. The Weimar establishment didn’t know what to do, so they pretended this was normal. They “normalized” him....

the Reichstag Fire was not a Hitler plan to excuse a takeover through martial law. It had indeed been the work of a Dutch man, Marinus van der Lubbe. But Hitler, ruthlessly and savagely, took advantage of it, instituting martial law and crushing electoral democracy. There would have been another excuse. Once in power Hitler was going to go on maximizing it until the “final solution.” ....

Hitler had been tricky about his plans until he got the position and the power to enact them. Trump had been tricky, neither accepting nor rejecting the endorsement of KKK leader David Duke. David Duke! The KKK! In this century! He claimed he didn’t know who he was. He couldn’t be disqualified because of someone he didn’t know. That’s where we all went wrong, thinking he was stupid and outrageous, not canny and savvy and able to play the media like Paganini.

Trump's incompetence puts them in harm's way. Trump is betraying out national identity by spilling our blood in a careless way. Use the rhetoric of grievance and resentment and nationalism.

This should have been a lay-up that imo Democrats are still failing to capitalize on.

But it can't be just that. It can be that for now. Do not get addicted to it. Do not let it replace our long-term ideals and what we're trying to do to achieve them and work on building long-term political consensus for it. The right-wing has effectively gained power with it, sure, but consider to what end. They haven't rebuilt the Reagan coalition. They haven't won a lasting victory. And critically I think the mindset that gets addicted to grievance politics and resentment is incapable of getting there.

100% agree but also 100% have no faith it will work. Well, maybe 98%.

It's the same line we vehement antiwar people tried to take 15 years ago.

"No war!"

"You don't Support Our Troops?"

"Yes we do! We support them so much we want to bring them home so they don't die in a pointless quagmire."

"Why do you hate freedom?!?"

"Sigh!"

The line re: Yemen should be "Trump is incompetent." That's it.
