Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour

... But we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. We are not nazi germany of the 1930's and those of us who are not voting straight D are not the "good germans" of this era. ...
You're right. We're not 1930's Germany.

We're 1800's America.

We're 1901 America.

We're 1918 America.

We're December 7, 1941 America.

We're December 8, 1941 America.

We're 1942 America.

We're 1943 America.

We're 1950 America.

We're 1961 America.

We're 2003 America.

But we're not 1930's Germany.

The reason the NYT is correct is personified by this post.

You should be angry about Donald Trump and most of his policies. And you should want to do something about it.

But writing posts, tweets, letters to the editor, or in general communicating like you have in this post does not cause anyone to be persuaded to your point. In fact, it probably causes most of us to try to just quietly slip away before we get struck by the shrapnel.

Acting unhinged does not cause people to rally to your cause, and to be candid, there are many mornings when I skim through the Cafe postings and think to myself, holy s h ! t, some of these people are crazed lunatics.

If you can't become unhinged seeing innocent children being taken from their parents BY AMERICANS ON THE ORDERS OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, parents who are not a danger to them, have been convicted of nothing and suspected of only a non-violent misdemeanor then there is nothing you can ever be allowed to become unhinged about. This is the most vile and rank whataboutism I have seen posted here in quite a while.

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

I like how Hovey is splitting hairs on people calling them concentration camps... guilty conscience much? Sorry but if you have to split hairs on whether the party you support (or consistently run interference for, BSARBVR, etc.) are actual nazis or putting people in concentration camps maybe you need to reassess.
 
Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour

How many votes are necessary to merge labor and education (which makes absolutely no sense; there is no overlap at all)

I actually think there is some overlap. Of course the trump administration is offering the typical republican claptrap about efficiency and lean government, so the reasons offered by the White House are mostly nonsense.
 
Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour

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.

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.
 
Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour

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.

Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour

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!
