Trump’s Dividing of America

The civil discourse in our country... oof...

Again, Trump is dividing America because his own party is too chicken to rebuke this racist ****. Self-preservation, Tax cuts, and judges are too important.

 
Yep, I can grasp it. Fortunately for us we live in America with two other branches of government and checks and balances. If an actual authoritarian came into power he would get voted out or removed from office.
.

Trump is a snake oil salesman, not a Nazi.

However, I had a late 1920s History text book that meticulously explains how the Nazis and Hitler would be kept in check. Seriously. Germany had free elections, a constitutional democracy, advanced technology. The Weimar Republic had two elected legislative houses. Constitution required Freedom of Speech and Press.

But when the storm troopers showed up at the Reichstag in 1933, surprisingly they voted to end democracy and make Hitler dictator.

I hope we never believe it could never happen here, because that is the kind of thinking that leads to it happening here.

The administration adamantly refuses to recognize Congressional oversight over the Executive branch of the federal government, a "check and balance" granted by the Constitution. The administration is instructing everyone to ignore Congressional supoenas. In due time, the courts may side with Congress. They should, Congressional oversight is granted by the Constitution, but the authoritarian nature of this president is reflected by its effort to deny Congressional oversight.
 
Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.’ That was still no bouquet of flowers, but if you’re going to be honest in your criticism it’s worth pointing out that suggesting someone “go back… then come back and show us…” implies a visit abroad, not an expulsion.

If you buy that, might I interest you in a power plant in Ukraine. Very low usage, been mothballed for a little over thirty years.
 
Lets not pretend that history only began 2 days ago. We all know trump loves his Fox News. Look at what the Grand Wizard of the Ingraham Show was saying one year ago:

How can you watch this and NOT see the similarities to Trump’s racist comments? This racist rhetoric that’s appearing all the time on Fox News and then amplified by Trump, is just tearing this country apart.

OK but what do the commenters on yahoo think about all this? I need their insight to help form my political opinions.
 
@jazzrule. I don’t mean to offend, but I skimmed all the way through your post until my eye caught this nutty nugget:
. . .NBC CEO Stephen Burke is a Board Member of Warren Buffet’s Company Berkshire Hathaway. Buffet donated almost a BILLION dollars to Obama’s campaign. . .
Obviously, this is not anywhere close to being true. Did you copy and paste this nonsense? Or did you make it up all on your own?

PS. The total amount Warren Buffet donated to a myriad of candidates all the way from 2000 to 2015 was $329,000.

I'm fairly certain he got that from a comment on yahoo.

Whoever said that MSM is honest and objective. It hasn't been in decades.

Not meant to help you form your political opinions Zombie, just meant to show you the majority do not agree with your opinions.

And let us not forget that independent studies show that 90% of Trump coverage on the mainstream media are anti-Trump. Love how you pick and choose your facts Thriller. Honest question...What do you think of Soros interfering in our political landscape?
