Uh huh. Like what?

I think one thing you aren't taking into consideration is that the US already scores pretty high on the fascist, if not nazi scale. If you compare it with say, Mussolini's Italy before Hitler became too influential there, it isn't really that much different. Hyper-nationalist, imperialist wars, draconian law enforcement etc.
Plus euro nations tended to trade slaves more than keep them so we don't have the same history of racial segregation. Or of genocide.

From my perspective much of Trump's actual policies are disturbingly familiar to that of prior administrations. The main difference between him and Obama is that he is too intellectually deficient to cover up the truth with fine rhetoric.

The eurofascist parties are mainly held in check by the electoral systems of those countries. Trump did not secure a majority: he had to rely on the fact that a white guy's vote essentially counts for more than that of an ethnic minority. I suspect if we had similar systems here eurofascists would be winning power already.

Thought Trump talked a lot of sense in the press conference. He's basically in the right.

Watched the full 77 minutes.

Abraham Lincoln - President of the USA 1861 - 1865




Donald Trump - President of the USA 2017 - ?

You guys have really come a long way.

lol of course you did pogger

Probably the scariest part of the press conference (among many), was when Trump said how much Americans would love it if he blew the Russian spy ship out of the water.

a) no, Americans with functioning brain cells wouldn't love it
b) this guy is 100% motivated by receiving adulation. So there is little doubt that he is capable of doing some truly horrific s***, especially when all the negativity and criticism gets to be too much, to get everyone to "like" him again.

I was surprised that more wasn't made of that tbh. Then again, it's hard to know where to focus with so much b/s in one session.

revots:

I'm afraid your assessment is accurate. The real danger in having a narcissist like Trump in office - and in control of the world's largest and most powerful military - is what happens when he faces a real foreign policy crisis?

During that 77 minute ramble-thon he made stream-of-consciousness remarks about uranium, nuclear weapons, and North Korea. I'm not predicting this, (because thinking about the consequences is truly grim), but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump orders a military strike against North Korea. I can envision a scenario where he begins to feel so isolated and so besieged (here in the United States) that ordering an attack against NK - "... to remove the threat of nuclear attack against the United States" - begins to increasingly make sense to him. With the way he thinks, he'll likely convince himself that the bold action of striking NK will make him overwhelmingly "popular" again.

This is the kind of thinking (and mindset) that creates more problems than it solves. It's the same kind of thinking that got us into the Iraq mess.

That account is just some dude and Bannon and Trump have, between them, maybe like a 180 IQ.

wut

<3 daddy so much, he'll make em go away!

Trump will defeat ISIS

Can't wait for Him to stroll into the Rose Garden in Primetime and strut His stuff when al-Baghdadi is dead, Raqqa is taken back and ISIS destroyed.

We should all be happy on that day.

Vacuous post just in case anyone had the illusion you're not trolling ITT. Thanks for removing all doubt.

People should expend no significant effort discussing with you. It would be wasted.

So, I'm seeing reports that the reason all qualified people are preemptively refusing to serve as Trump's NSA is that Trump refuses to allow them to bring in their own people to replace Flynn's underlings, including K.T. McFarland. That strikes me as extremely weird. Maybe it's just Trump being Trump, but it's hard to see a rational reason why Trump would be willing to get publicly rejected by Harwood out of loyalty to a nobody like K.T. McFarland. One possible explanation is that McFarland (and maybe others) know where bodies are buried and have to be kept loyal since they don't have felony false-statement charges hanging over their heads.

Is there anything Trump could do that would cause you to stop supporting him?

That ^^^^^^^ question has gotten me further with Trumpsters than anything else.

He was like "everyone wants me to be tough but then if i shoot their ship I will hear I've gone too far and get yelled at".

Yeah no ****. There are levels of escalation.

Your sober reminder for today. So far, Trump is the most popular President to Republicans in a long time.

Regardless of any views on Trump or his policies, will people at least admit that the campaign against him is transparent to the point of being embrarrassing?

GOP voters, man.

I agree that the campaign against him is very transparent. We dont hide that we think his incompetemce, racism, conflicts of interest and lack of knowledge and decision making skills make him unfit for office. How is it embarrasing to want to have someone fired who clearly sucks at his job?

Yes, there is a campaign against him. Mostly because he is perceived as a threat to our democracy and to our alliances around the world.

Can you admit that he and his team has obvious ties to Russia? Can you admit that he is an obvious scammer? Can you admit that he laundered money through his failed casinos?

What do you mean by transparent? It is clear that the campaign against Trump is because people think Trump is dangerously incompetent. Yes that is clear.
