The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I posted this before on here (possibly in this thread) - how many of the fourteen characteristics of Facism listed here are found in Trump's government?

https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html

One which definitely isn't there for me is a controlled mass media, but it seems they are trying to do something about that! Truthfully, I'd say between eight and ten of those characteristics could be applies to the so called leader of the free world.

Gary Kasparov writes some very interesting things these days, especially about Putin. And when trump was elected he said that it would be a very stern test of the checks and balances in their system, as the first thing a potential despot will do is begin systematically dismantling them, even if they don't at the time realise themselves it is a road they are on that ends up with them as a despotic ruler. At some point they just end up in the situation that it is their only option as allowing anyone else in power will result in them being imprisoned or worse.

Whilst I don't believe we are in that situation with trump, I can certainly see why the comparisons are being made

The aim is to get to the point where only Fox is in a position to report on the President's press conferences, interviews, comments, etc. It's not a coincidence (as I said above) that the day before the elections, the two highest profile Fox presenters were on stage with him at a rally.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I'm not quite sure you've got that right. Yes they do have 6 year terms but that doesn't mean the Republicans have tied up their majority for 6 years. Only nine Republican seats were available in this election and 26 Democrat/Independent (out of 100 in total) so a Democrat flip was always unlikely. The next elections will be 2020 when another batch are up for grabs, and the Democrats picked up millions more votes than the Republicans in this election (yes I know the popular vote means nothing but there are still clues there).

I agree that he has more flexibility to use the Senate for the courts. But if he could get Kavanaugh on then strengthening a bit isn't that much more beneficial. He absolutely will use the blame game; he was playing that game when the Republicans controlled everything.

Losing the House isn't good for him, but it won't lead to impeachment. No chance they'll go for that unless something major happens. It can probably lead to proper investigations though.

The Democrats have a foothold now, more than they had before, but they could have done with bigger gains. Cannot see how this was successful for Trump though. Could have been worse is the best I can say.

yes of course ,as some are already serving in the senate

I guess if you start with Gluey then something triple barreled has a certain logic to it. Hope Ezra moves on before the 10,000 post mark though.

Next for what? Last I heard he was working with Sessions. He is certainly a man of mystery!

Lardy, what could this possibly mean? Has PapaD lost his mind?

When all is said and done: the guys with the politically motivated FISAs on them: me, Manafort, Flynn, Page—are going shown to be the guys that really had the book thrown at them for one reason, to force us to plea so not to expose the surveillance abuse we all had on us.

I can't see it myself. He is a senior intel guy who doesn't speak publicity, can't be fired, is never seen, and only one photo of him exists. He's more likely to be the next James Bond! But interesting that he was moved to the DOJ from the WH some time ago.

Without even looking into what this is about, I can be reasonably confident that the democrats are claiming that the republicans have done something slightly troubling.

How do I guess this? Because you're the one posting it on here.
If there's a stance or opinion on something that works in favour of the left wing then invariably you will hold it.
And you are someone who considers themselves to be of the left politically. You have been manipulated but appear to be utterly incapable of seeing it.

PS regarding the Florida incident I posted the facts and election fraud is a BIG thing, wheras the above is opinion at best, and propaganda at it's worst!
