Seriously. "Our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see … the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned." "We will have unquestioned military strength beyond what anyone can imagine." "It is a fact, and you will not deny it, that there are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote." And laughably "I'm not going to make a comment on that. I don't have any information on it. I do want to say that Sean Spicer as always is 100% correct." Trump tweeted "Congratulations Stephen Miller on representing me … Great job!" Watch it here.
Aren't the Nazi/Hitler comparisons regarding President Trump way over the top and not the least bit helpful even to the political opposition. Isn't all that going to look pretty stupid when Trump is running for election in three and a half years and nothing resembling Nazi Germany has come about?
His stance on the press and immigrants is troubling. And it's only been 3 weeks. His personality and competency and that of his appointees is laughable. Very un-hitler-like I'll agree.
It's a joke, Dayton. Humour. These guys aren't quite Nazi's but Stephen Miller managed to sound like one anyway. Attacks on the judiciary and the media are the modus operandi of oppressive regimes.
I don't consider myself a dictator wanna be Rick but I think bringing the media to heel in the United States is long overdue. For how they vilified President George W. Bush and how they tried to vilify President Reagan. And for how they practically deified President Obama. Regarding the judiciary, I think the courts are supposed to judge the laws that are passed and signed into effect by the legislative and executive branches. That is they should always be reacting to what the other branches of government have already done. I think it is the absolute worst undemocratic practice for members of the federal courts who are unelected and unaccountable to try to recreate American government and society the way they think it should be.
The media is on full blast. But I think its a sign of the times. I believe that Hillary would have suffered a similar fate. But then again there is some serious dislike of Trump throughout the country.
Tbh, a good number of folks I know did not want to vote for Trump but bought into that email shit. A lot of them are military types, so I get their anger about her handling of unclassified material. Only one FB friend, who is a former Wordforger, is an actual no-bullshit Trump fanboy. After reading a couple articles from journalists who said they all but ignored the perspectives of the rural areas to focus on the Left Coasts, I doubt Hilary would have been as scrutinized as Trump is. But then, Trump is such an obvious dumpster fire of a President as we've ever elected to office that fact checking his every Tweet is a full time job. But it's the least the media could do after helping to give him all the free attention for lulz.
Right, Clinton would move quickly to reassure Wall Street that she'd only been kidding about all that stuff in order to ward off Sanders. But otherwise she'd be acting presidential and would probably not yet have started any wars. People would be sighing about having yet another Clintonite as president and bitching about the choice they'd had ---- "It was either her or that asshole Trump ..." And yes, Goebbels was damn clever. Batshit crazy, but clever.
Hillary would have been slammed by the right. She would have been mocked by the late night shows and comedians but I do not think she would have an open tantrum and encourage it by being so butthurt and generating so much material. She certainly would not have someone like Alec Baldwin mocking her weekly on snl.
Now now, dumpster fires provide heat and light and get rid of garbage. What's the Trump administration done even remotely as useful?
That's like saying "sure, Dayton's a wife slapper, but he's not a wife PUNCHER. Two very different forms of wife beater".
All Nazis are white nationalists, but not all white nationalists are Nazis. Unless you're using the word "Nazi" as a surrogate for "bigot" as opposed to actual, card carrying Nazis.
Yeah, if Nazis were white nationalists, they wouldn't have cared about Jewish citizens. Plus there was Hitler's obsession with Aryanism. Bannon isn't a Nazi, but he plays to Nazis, so fuck him.
Which immigrants have been attacked? Fake refugees and illegals are who he has gone after not legal immigrants. The current refugee system is stacked full of abuse with economic migrants, who are not legally refugees and need to use the traditional immigration process, abusing the system beyond all recognition. Illegals are outright criminals and everyone should be behind reducing criminality and improving the rule of law.
Are you forgetting his executive order addressing refugees from the 7 countries? He is going after illegals big time. Yes the priority are those with criminal records but those living productive lives for decades are also in danger of imminent deportation. Have you forgotten The Wall paid by Mexico?
