Tarne Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 He's been in power less than a month, you can't change the US into a facist society in less than a month from Hope/Change Obama's presidency, unless you're actually saying Trump isn't an idiot but is in fact a super evil genius, smarter and faster than all presidents before him. You just disagree with his policies, that's all it is. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1119495.stm That's a news story from 2001 about the thousands of protestors protesting the Bush inauguration, and oh look, it's a carbon copy of now.

rmanx Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 When you say the "great divider" I think it's something out of the filing cabinet. Apparently an Obama thing? I haven't heard it used anywhere, I just thought it was an appropriate label for the most divisive element of the modern age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't the brains of the outfit. That "accolade" belongs to Pence and Bannon. He is just the "popular", loud, demagogue, figurehead.

The people were right to protest Bush Junior. He destroyed the deficit that Clinton left and took his country in to an on going global conflict that will most likely never end (and all on the credit card).

woolley Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 ...I know you're probably too young to remember the Clinton years, or the Bush years (when Bush took over there were similar protests by Democrats). You know wrong. I am old enough to remember the Bush Senior days. a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. That describes the Trump administration to a tee. This is just hysterical nonsense. No doubt the BBC and Guardian would approve, but it has no basis in fact. The USA is a democratic republic with a written constitution full of checks and balances to the power of the executive. It is the antithesis of a fascist state.

Mr. Sausages Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Team Trump making up more fake news. Kelly Anne Conway blames Iraqi refugees for massacre that never happened. Take your pic on sources. On the left we have the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/03/kellyanne-conway-refugees-bowling-green-massacre-never-happened On the right we have the Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/03/bowling-green-massacre-kellyanne-conway-mocked-using-alternative/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a sting is arranged selling them dud arms - They take the bait. On arrest they admit to taking part in attacks on US soldiers in Iraq - heavy sentences and an increase in processing refugees to stop people like them get in result.
