In the interest of National Healing, Democrats Pledge to Stop Calling Trump and MAGA Conservatives Fascists and Racists

No, he described the conditions in the orders setting the Tariffs.

But it doesn’t actually matter if those conditions reflect reality because no one is allowed to question the Trump administrations assertions.

So the conditions set by Congress are meaningless.

At least according to the authoritarians in charge now.

 

[Marener]

Nothing here changes your willful failure to understand what "fascism" means and how using the NG, as allowed by federal law, to help enforce the law is not an example of same.

Posse Comitatus is still law and prevents the president from using national guard to enforce the law.

Fascism:​

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Tell me, that is not what we are looking at.

Your failure begins, and ends, right here.
Exercising the constitutional powers inherent to the office of President, and those powers granted to him by law, is not authoritarian

Explain to us how using the NG, as allowed by federal law, to help enforce the law is "fascist".

Blowhard leftists judges are, and are being told to pound sand more often than not.

Then go to congress and make them pass better laws.

They are not the NG. They are the Army, simply pulled from the NG. On active duty, just like any other active duty Army. This ain't the state governors, using their National Guard to keep the peace in times of emergency. Been there. Done that.

Exactly. The administration doesn’t believe the judiciary has any authority over their interpretation of the “conditions”, which makes them meaningless.

Trump is exercising more control over the economy than any other president. We are getting closer to a centrally planned economy under this administration.

As long as they are used to help enforce federal, not State law, then precedent puts them on solid ground.

Or was Governor Wallace right back in the 60's?

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to ABC on Tuesday night, the network said Monday, ending a nearly weeklong standoff over the late-night talk show.

Standoff? How was that a standoff? ABC made the decision to pull him and now they make the decision to put him back. CNN am dumb!

But not all of ABC’s affiliated stations will be carrying Kimmel’s comeback show. Sinclair, one of the country’s biggest owners of local TV stations, said its ABC affiliates will preempt the show “beginning Tuesday night.” Sinclair said it will air news programming in the time slot instead.

So . . . is Sinclair now violating Jimmy Kimmel's 1AD rights? I'd love to see him argue that in court. Stamp his foot and say, "they HAVE to let me reach their audience, on their dime!"

“Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return,” a Sinclair spokesperson told CNN.

Sinclair’s conservative owners condemned Kimmel last week and contributed to ABC parent Disney’s decision to pull the show from the airwaves temporarily.

I expect a tamer show, from now on, by a now neutered Kimmel. Probably with less invective and more genuine comedy - if they've been able to hire some actual comedy writers in only a week.

Maybe they'll some both sides political satire. Or maybe he'll bring back the Man Show Boy, and the Juggies.

Or maybe they'll call Carr's bluff. See how that works out for 'em. Probably just a fine, though.

I doubt it.

Where is the Enabling Act? Where is the SA (oh wait, only Dems have the equivalent in Anti-fa), where is the arrest of Dem congresscritters to get said Enabling act?

Where are the ACTUAL ACTS of speech and press suppression?

Fascism in Italy and Germany required set conditions, which aren't in place in the USA in 2025.

But keep thinking you know more than me on this.

Have you actually read Mein Kampf?

I think Newsome will be a guest, and Kamala will do a cameo to pitch her new tell all autobiography, Mein Kunt.

Trump is exercising more control over the economy than any other president. We are getting closer to a centrally planned economy under this administration.

They are being told to pound sand by higher courts. the SC is the equivalent to the President, District courts are inferior courts who's only job is to make the SC's job easier.

We are not anywhere near a centrally planned economy. Stop lying.

 

[the watcher]

I think what they meant to say is that the economy is exercising control over Trump.

Did you just concede your point regarding "authoritarian" and how it does not apply?
Yes. Yes you did.
So much your your "fascism" shtick

We are closer than we’d been before. No president ever exercised this level of personal authority over the economy.

Your concept of how our judicial system works is incorrect, and the product of an extreme rationalization for your desired authoritarianism.

Go back and talk to FDR about economic controls, dipshit.

Another man standing on the double yellow line in the middle of the road wondering why traffic keeps hitting him.

It's hilarious, he says 'the two parties are pathetic', but only posts his bullshit about one of them. He's a special kind of stupid.

And believes restrictions on the freedom speech are uniquely fascist.

 

[Seymour Flops]

If Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on our airwaves tonight with no apology or acknowledgement of the false statement, then they are telling us that it is perfectly fine that they accused every Trump supporter of murdering a conservative speaker, when the facts are that Trump supporters are shocked and saddened by this act of brutality committed by an LGBT-Q ally.

If so, the FCC should suspend ABC from broadcasting over publicly-owned airwaves for the same length of time ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel. They would laugh at a fine.

We'd be better off watching snow or a blank screen than their regular programs, anyway.

No. I did not concede on Federal Government authoritarianism. That is your bag, not mine.

Nope. Won't do. Withdraw troops to comply with intent of the founding fathers, and quit attacking free speech by media, comedians and the general public, or they can get fucked, like the fascist central control autocrat party, they are, just like fascist regimes around the world in history. You are, what you support. If this is what they support, fck the fascists.

It's pretty pathetic when people demand their way or else they promise and/or support verbal and physical violence. It is exactly that kind of mentality that underscores and justifies law enforcement by a government that does not intend to condone or allow that any more.

And free speech goes both ways. If your side insists on calling people Hitler, Nazi, fascist etc. because they are enforcing the law, then they can hardly complain when the other side uses strong language to describe those who are demanding that the law be ignored and that violence against citizens be allowed to continue without interference. Or that it is in the public interest to encourage violence against people like Charlie Kirk or others of us who support the MAGA vision of a strong, free, secure, prosperous America for all decent citizens.
