2. ...

First response, it was HIllary and her operatives that pushed the narrative that Trump was a "hitler" that was going to start a nuclear war.

THAT is fear and scaremongering, and outright fucking LYING.


HOw much of that water did you personally carry, Wry?

 

[Wry Catcher]

It is painfully honest and true that Trump has committed all of these authoritarian activities except #12.

 

[Auld Phart]

How many apply to Obama?

I asked you a serous question.


Your would be leader HIllary, beat some serious panic drums, about Trump.


A. How much of that water did you carry for her?

B. And of course, that fear mongering was point 1 for her, but you will start a thread about that.

C. indeed, you are fearmongering WITH THIS THREAD, and your irrational talk of Authoritarianism.

Sadly, I needed to report you. This comment is off topic and not relevant to the issue at hand. You may disagree with one or all of the 15 points, or you may claim other American Presidents acted in one or more of these manners.

That you didn't take more than a few seconds to respond, suggests you do not or can not think about the points and/or how they apply to past and the current president.

You tell me and the other readers.

A deflection framed by an ad hominem ^^^.

HRC lost the election, she and her stump speech are not relevant.

Trump is POTUS, and it is his behavior since January I've put under the microscope for evaluation.

You did ask a legitimate question, but the thread is not about Hillary.

I'd kind of like to know who the two people are who are so unaware that they said "none".

Start you own thread, maybe you and corral can continue your effort to derail this one.

The facts are that Trump's behavior fits with most and maybe all of the 15 points. If you were honest and had an open mind you might consider my premise, maybe argue that not one or all of the 15 points do not describe an authoritarian, or provide some argument to support Trump and why you feel his behavior is an example of a leader who respects and honors Lincoln's words that we are a nation conceived and dedicated to be "A nation of the people, by the people and for the people.".

It appears you cant' be honest about the number that describe Obama, so you decided to deflect.

Thread is a hit piece, and will likely be moved to a more suitable forum.

I didn't vote for Trump and I have a very jaded view of politics and have for a very long time. I despise the Trotsky-ite neocons with the same fervor that I despise the Fabian socialist left....with that being said? I have nothing but admiration for what President Trump is doing. He has exposed the deep state operatives that work on behalf of the shadow government that have always been the power behind the puppets they put in power. JFK was the last president that had the brass balls to stand up against them. JFK underestimated his opponent and what he was really up against. It is my belief that Trump and the "white hats" do indeed know and have assessed the enemy. If the good guys continue to win (and thus far they are)....you are going to see this purge of compromised politicians continue...if not? We are fucked royally.
