Funny how you don't mind actual Gestapo tactics as long as they align with you, politically.

It turns out you never cared about rights or freedom. Just party. Sad! but hardly surprising.

When did I ever petition for those? Protests are one thing. Destroying things that aren't yours are quite another.

This is a great read.

Klain had a theory that combined Trump’s authoritarian impulses and troubled White House management in a way I found hard to dismiss. In Klain’s view, it’s Trump’s dysfunctional relationship with the government that catalyzes his illiberal tendencies — the more he is frustrated by the system, the more he will turn on the system.

“If Trump became a full-fledged autocrat, it will not be because he succeeds in running the state,” Klain said. “It’s not going to be like Julius Caesar, where we thank him and here’s a crown. It’ll be that he fails, and he has to find a narrative for that failure. And it will not be a narrative of self-criticism. It will not be that he let you down. He will figure out who the villains are, and he will focus the public’s anger at them.”

This is the hard part about failure in American politics: It feeds on itself, perpetuates itself. Trump’s low poll numbers make it harder for him to win Democratic support on, well, anything. The inability to get anything done feeds his low poll numbers. The same goes for how Trump runs his White House. The Trump administration is a chaotic, leaky place, and that leads to negative press coverage of the Trump White House, which leads to more chaos and leaks as scared aides try to push blame for the disaster onto their rivals.

It is easy to imagine Trump, in a year, cornered in his own White House, furious at the manifold enemies he blames for his failures, and cocooned within an ever-smaller and more radical group of staffers and media outlets that tell him what he wants to hear and feed his grievances and resentments.

White House is now planning to go after recreational pot. You know, small government.
 
Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

We were promised a busy week of executive orders to include a new Muslim ban, and not much (thankfully) has happened. Will we get a big Friday afternoon dump of EOs?

Trump has been busy this morning both criticizing the FBI for leaks, and criticizing the media for fake news based on fake leaks. Someone needs to call him on this, either the leaks are real and something he can whine about, or the leaks are fake and something he can whine about. But it can't be both.

You gotta love this...not only are the GOP the biggest frauds when it comes to "smaller government" but now they are proving to be even bigger frauds on "States Rights".

If he manages to completely delegitimize the media to where 50%+ don't believe a word they say it's all over but the crying. He will be able to do whatever the hell he wants.

Maybe they should see if that guy in the chicken costume hired by Bill Clinton to follow around Bush I is still available.
