But I think that an important difference is there isn't the effort to take national control of those financial and business institutions. There isn't the consolidation of power within the government. In fact, if there is anything, Trump seeks to basically pull back all regulation of business enterprises by the government. I don't think Trump is acting out in a fashion to seize power for power's sake. As you and others have pointed out, I think he's just doing what he's always done -- look for ways to line his pocket.

I think we need to distinguish between Dumpy and the filth being tracked in on his coat tails. Dumpy himself is just an ignorant swinish narcissistic coward -- he has no political programme and no ideals. He's a bottomless garbage pail that tries to feed itself on adulation but is never satiated because he is a sad, empty failure. He doesn't matter except as he has enabled the serious problems to ride in with him.

The serious problems are the actual fascists. One on hand, the reactionary fanatics like Stephen Miller and Richard Spencer their idiot enablers in the mainstream like Falwell Jr., Frank Gaffney, and Pam Gellar. On the other hand, the radical anti-democracy plutes like the people behind The Heist -- not the limp political stooges like Paul Ryan but the actual wealthy sponsors and their hired gun policy architects. We don't even know the identity of most of these people because they stay hidden, but we know their work and we know it's too effective to have been the product of the morons in the Republican caucus.

These people are the ones that tracked in with Dumpy. Even if Dumpy died tomorrow they'd still be destroying democratic institutions and sh-tting on our values while turning their ignorant followers into rabid attack dogs to protect them as they loot our country.

Sounds to me like all we've done for 240 years is inter people. Not sure I've argued otherwise, though.

Native Americans not on line 1 for you. Cuz, you know, we murdered them.

So you're happily racist.

While I agree he's also trying to attack/weaken/destroy if possible every institution that opposes him whether it's a free press, the EPA, the FBI, financial regulatory bodies, etc. The fact that he hasn't been able to is a testament to the founding fathers and those who worked hard to establish and maintain them, rather than the idea that Trump isn't trying to get rid of them (not your argument mind you).

Which makes it perfectly ok, and we should keep right on doing it.

Those people aren’t interested in fascism. They’d prefer no centralized power at all.

They don't care what they have, as long as it keeps lining their pockets.

I don't think people understood who Trump was in 2016. He's a sideshow, and can't be as crazy and self-involved as he seems. Personally, I thought he would be tempered by the gravity of the position. I voted against the man, the first time I ever cast a D vote for POTUS, and even I was shocked by what he's shown himself to be.

Now people know, and I think you'll see a more motivated base. Someone like Kerry could win this election, but not someone who's been as demonized, and comes off as shrill, as Hillary.

Kerry can't beat Trump. No way in hell.

We are now representing whistleblowers within ICE, outside contractors, etc. They have reached out to us to provide us with info as to what is really going on. We are going to blow this wide open and take the info to the American people so they can decide what happens next.

I’m fighting with a Facebook friend/Trump lover about Melania’s jacket. She says the media is lying that she wore it and posted pics of her at one of the centers. I posted two articles with pictures showing she wore it AND posted the tweet from her One True Love Donald Trump that admitted she wore it and she said he said it was Fake News. I’m at a loss! I told her he said the comment on her jacket referred to Fake News. And she STILL refuses to believe it. I’m really scared for her. She’s totally over the edge!
