• Weakling

    Hello Everybody,

    Donald J. Trump. The man with no balls.

    "He may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong,
    but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an
    armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is."
    ~ Joe Biden, 8/31/2020

    Do you want Trump to use a stronger police force then? If Trump was to come down harder on the rioters, then the Democrats would say he's a fascist for doing so. Is he supposed to just people people riot, loot, murder and bully innocent people?

    His "supporters" are defending themselves. I've seen too many videos of "protestors" attacking and accosting people. Going up to people who are just out for a meal or a drink, and DEMANDING they show fealty to your beliefs is not acceptable.

    I want Trump to do his fucking job!

    "The job of a president is to tell it straight from the shoulder, tell
    the truth, to be candid, to face facts, to lead, not to insight. That’s
    why I’m speaking to you today. The incumbant president is incapable of telling us the truth, incapable of facing the facts and incapable of
    healing. He doesn’t want to shed light, he wants to generate heat and
    he’s stroking violence in our cities.

    "This is a tragic fact of the matter, how he’s dealing with this
    perilous hour in our nation. And now we have to stand against violence
    in every form it takes. Violence we’ve seen again and again and again,
    of unwarranted police shooting, excessive force, seven bullets in the
    back of Jacob Blake. Knee on the neck of George Floyd, killing of
    Breonna Taylor in her own apartment, violence of extremists and
    opportunists, right wing militias… And to derail any hope and support
    for progress, the senseless violence of looting and burning and
    destruction of property. I want to make it absolutely clear, so I’m
    going to be very clear about all of this, rioting is not protesting.
    Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of
    this is protesting. It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who
    do it should be prosecuted. Violence will not bring change, it will
    only bring destruction. It’s wrong in every way. It divides instead
    of unites, destroys businesses, only hurts the working families that
    serve the community. It makes things worse across the board, not
    better."

    Joe Biden has condemned *all* acts of violence. It is time for
    Donald Trump to do the same.

    Two rights do not make a wrong. As Joe Biden noted so clearly

    than the Alabama governor's mansion.

    What we are seeing in the USA is the emergence of a new, totalitarian belief system, disguisnig itself as being for justice. IT is a time old pattern, where the new moral order proclaims itself as being for justice, fairness, while it bullies people into submission. Cancel culture is the most evident manifestation of this insidious ideology.

    Rioting is not protesting, I agree, but Biden's missing the point here. They are NOT trying to protest. They are trying to exercise power over others. The Democrats will never admit this, because too many in the party (perhaps not Biden, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt), don't have an issue with this new emerging cultural fascism.

    This isn't about George Floyd. This is about an ideology that has been percolating for years, and is now seizing this opportunity to suppress and bully.

    This is nothing new. George Wallace did the same in Alabama.
    Lester Maddox did the same in Georgia. Other governors did the
    same in other states.

    There were times when fascism did occur on a national level in
    this country. But nothing on the level as it is today.

    IT is a time old pattern, where the new moral order proclaims itself as
    being for justice, fairness, while it bullies people into submission.

    There is nothing moral about fascism. It can be disguised in many
    ways, even with a smile. But there is nothing moral about it.

    Rioting is an act of violencce. Biden condemned all acts of violence.
    That includes rioting. Do pay attention.

    They are NOT trying to protest.

    And Biden condemned all who committed acts of violence. Including
    those who pretend to protest by commmitting acts of violence. You
    really do need to pay attention.

    They are trying to exercise power over others.

    By committing acts of violence, which Biden condemned.
    It really isn't that hard to understand. Do pay attention
    to what the man said.

    The Democrats will never admit this,

    Biden did. Quite loudly. For all to hear. But you weren't listening.
    Or bothering to pay attention.

    because too many in the party (perhaps not Biden, I'll give him the benefit
    of the doubt),

    What doubt? I quoted his own words, verboten. Nobody in his party
    disagreed with anything he said. And many Republicans and Independents
    also agreed with his comments. Especially his comments condemning all
    acts of violence.

    don't have an issue with this new emerging cultural fascism.

    The vast majority of people in this country have a real issue
    with Trump's fascist ideology, and want him and his cronies to go
    away. Problem is, after he loses the election (assuming there is
    an election) his army of Trumpers might decide to burn the entire
    country, proclaiming "Trump is always right!"

    This isn't about George Floyd. This is about an ideology that has been
    percolating for years, and is now seizing this opportunity to suppress and bully.

    Trump is not the cause, but the symptom. Biden is the anti-Trump,
    but not the solution to all this country's problems.

    It will take more, much more, to cure America of its sickness.

    This is why Trump may (I think likely), will win. EVERYONE normally condemns violence. I remember seeing a billboard from a local council saying "(council) stands against domestic violence", or something like that. Well gee! Thanks for clearing that up local council! You know, up until know, I wasn't sure whether they were for or against domestic violence, but now that they cleared it up for me, I'm no longer guessing! It's like when people say they are against rape, or racism, or whatever. Who is FOR it????

    It's a easy cop out, and not what I want to see from a politician.

    By the way, I'm not being facetious. Statements likes "violence of extremists" and "rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting" are all well and good, but DUH!. Who is FOR violence? Some of the far left faction are legitimising riots and theft.

    What is my problem here you may be wondering? Bidin SPECIFICALLY mentioned "right wing militias" and the killing of Jacob Blake and George Floyd, but kept everything else unnamed and vague. I'm not going to get into "whatabouttisms" here, but there are specific examples you can refer to on BOTH sides, but he didn't do that. He pointed out specific problems supposedly caused by the right and "racists", and nothing else.

    As is his right to do so. But everyone is "against violence". So is Trump. So what? It means nothing. Why bother even saying it? Is your country so far gone that we can no longer ASSUME that you are against lawless rioting?


    What means something is being specific. Telling us exactly WHAT you believe the problem is. How you are going to solve it. And here is where he is lacking.

    His message is empty. Now Trump isn't much better, I'll give you that, but there is no chance that Biden is going to resolve this violence and creeping fascistic religion by empty motherhood statements. Obama spoke like that, and the situation worsened under his watch. Biden is an empty shell, probably just there so the people who hold real power can work while America thinks that Biden has any sway. Poor guy probably has no idea what is occuring under him.

    Now, if Biden was to be able to talk about specifically what is leading to violence, what is justifying it, why people are resorting to violence, if he actually named any of the violent groups, put them on notice, then I would pay attention.


    His "supporters" are defending themselves.

    Two rights do not make a wrong. As Joe Biden noted so clearly
    in his message. Do pay attention.

    Two wrongs do not make a right. Caught you sleeping. :)

    I've seen too many videos of "protestors" attacking and accosting people.
    Going up to people who are just out for a meal or a drink, and DEMANDING
    they show fealty to your beliefs is not acceptable.

    Worked for Bull Connor. And his dogs. What we have today is a
    new George Wallace. Only this one is in the White HOuse, rather
    than the Alabama governor's mansion.

    By committing acts of violence, which Biden condemned.
    It really isn't that hard to understand. Do pay attention
    to what the man said.

    I read it multiple times.

    The Democrats will never admit this,

    Biden did. Quite loudly. For all to hear. But you weren't listening.
    Or bothering to pay attention.

    because too many in the party (perhaps not Biden, I'll give him the benefit
    of the doubt),

    What doubt? I quoted his own words, verboten. Nobody in his party disagreed with anything he said. And many Republicans and Independents also agreed with his comments. Especially his comments condemning all
    acts of violence.

    And I read them. Biden is against violence, as is EVERYONE. Hell, even "far right" parties in Europe say this. When I read, I don't just look to see if particular words are present, I analyse context and meaning, and the IDEAS.

    don't have an issue with this new emerging cultural fascism.

    The vast majority of people in this country have a real issue
    with Trump's fascist ideology, and want him and his cronies to go
    away. Problem is, after he loses the election (assuming there is
    an election) his army of Trumpers might decide to burn the entire
    country, proclaiming "Trump is always right!"

    Both sides are preparing to do that, with Trump supporters probably being LESS of a worry. Wake up and smell the coffee man.

    By the way, I think it more likely that Trump will win.

    Lastly, if you seriously believe that people wearing MAGA hats are fascist, you are lost. You are the reason that Trump will win. Large companies are seeking to influence the election, Big Tech is trying to shape our thoughts, censor speech, people are being fired just because they aren't Politically Correct, Academics are being mobbed by SJW's because their research or ideas doesn't conform, large companies will make your employment conditional on your 'values'. And you don't see this as a problem? Honestly man, I've seen this first hand, MULTIPLE TIMES. People claiming to be BLM protesters are en masse harrassing people and pushing them to follow their ideology, and you no problem? You see no problem that conservatives are worried about expressing publicly who they will vote for because of retribution?


    You really are the living epitome of someone pointing out the mote in someone elses eye, while neglecting the plank in yours.

    Fascist is as fascist does. Antifa are fascist. The far left are facist.

    I don't care if you hate the opinions of the right. I don't care if you have different political opinions to me, which you clearly do. I can respect someone highly even if they have contrary political opinions and think mine are distasteful. But your problem isn't your Left wing opinions, it your blindless to the realities of what is going on.

    Quite simply, have a look at who is cancelling whom. Who is mobbing whom. Who is getting fired for what. What agenda large corporations are pushing. What political affiliated get you "cancelled". Forget the ideology about people for a moment, and just look at the ACTIONS.

    If you look at the ACTIONS of people, you'll realise why when I say "fascist is as fascist does", that I think the regressive left is the biggest threat.

    This isn't about George Floyd. This is about an ideology that has been
    percolating for years, and is now seizing this opportunity to suppress and bully.

    Trump is not the cause, but the symptom. Biden is the anti-Trump,

    It will take more, much more, to cure America of its sickness.

    This I agree with. The elephant in the room is the fact that so many Americans are now intellectually and emotionally children, with stupid ideologies, behaving in awful ways. Those "protesting" are the epitome of this.

    America needs adults. It needs people who will say "NO" to cancel culture, to infantile politics, who will bring big business and big tech back in check and limit their influence. It needs ADULTS who will restore reason, due process, the right of free speech, the right to express an opinion and not be attacked, academic freedom. It needs stronger workers rights so you CAN'T get sacked just because someone complained about a tweet you made. It needs a cultural rebirth.

    Trump won't bring that about. Your country is toast.

    The people responsible for violence are those arguing that minor social faux pas, and other trival facts are actually evidence of major structural problems and oppression. This gives people licence to riot, to cancel people.

    He supported the neo-nazis at Charlottesville. He cheered on that
    caravan of his supporters who came to Portland shooting paintballs at
    BLM protesters. At his rallies he repeatedly invited his supporters to
    beat up protesters. He gave support to Rittenhouse who shot three
    protesters in Kenosha. He sent troopers into Portland, armed to the
    teeth, which only resulted in stirring up the flames. At a political
    rally in Montana he praised the assault of a Republican who body slammed
    a reporter. There are many more examples. It is common behavior by
    him.

    Hello Dennis,

    [..]

    Forget the ideology about people for a moment, and just look at the ACTIONS.

    Really?

    If you look at the ACTIONS of people, you'll realise why when I say "fascist
    is as fascist does", that I think the regressive left is the biggest
    threat.

    "Trumpism is a fascistic enterprise. It stands apart from and is
    antithetical to American values. Trumpism will not yield and retreat
    when faced with passive denial around what it clearly is. Trumpism has
    long teemed with menace and violence. Trump has encouraged the violence
    and celebrated it. He has legitimized it in tandem with his apologists, accomplices and enablers. They have collectively poisoned the country
    with a toxic media stew of Conspiracy, propaganda, lies, grievance,
    malice, nationalism and racial animus.

    A 17 year old was radicalized by Trumpism. He drove to Wisconsin and
    became a killer. He is celebrated today as some type of martyr across
    the the airwaves of extreme media. Who will he inspire next? Trump is
    fomenting chaos and violence in the name of law and order.
    A President’s duty is to calm the boiling passions of the moment as
    they yield to a new understanding of American justice and inclusion
    under the idea that in this land we are all created equal and that
    the promise of the country must be for everybody. Trump is inciting
    Americans against each other in the name of expanding his power. It
    isn’t just cynical, it is evil."
    ~ Steve Schmidt, former Republican and proud of it, 9/3/2020

    and Independents. Gonna be a fun night on Tuesday, November 3.

    To be honest, I don't care what the Republican party thinks, and why you do is beyond me. Up until 2016, when the Democratic party thought that Hillary would be a good president, I would have (if I was a US citizen) not wanted to vote Republican. I'm not a US citizen, but I'm just saying, that if I was in the US, I couldn't have voted for the party of McCain or Romney, and I would have preferred to see them lose. The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans, it hasn't for a long time. Pooh to them I say!

    Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party hacks now.

    What is Trumpism anyway?

    is beyond me.

    Steve Schmidt is a former Republican, having left the party in 2018.
    He is the person who ran John McCain's campaign for president in 2008.
    Today he is an Independent, as many other Republicans have also left
    the party. I am not affiliated with any political party, and choose
    to remain so.

    Up until 2016, when the Democratic party thought that Hillary would be a
    good president, I would have (if I was a US citizen) not wanted to vote Republican.

    Although some Democrats did vote for Trump in 2016, many of those
    same Democrats regret having done so. Will they vote for Biden? Or
    will they choose not to vote at all? That is the question.

    As for Republicans, their Republican Party no longer exists. Today
    it has become nothing more than a polite fiction. What Republicans are
    voting for is dictatorship under Trump & Co.

    I'm not a US citizen, but I'm just saying, that if I was in the US, I
    couldn't have voted for the party of McCain or Romney, and I would have preferred to see them lose.

    You got your wish in 2008, when Barack Obama won.
    And again in 2012, when Barack Obama did it a second time.

    The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans,
    it hasn't for a long time.

    Republicans holding office represent the interests of Donald Trump,
    not the interests of the American people.

    Pooh to them I say!

    And those who continue to support them.

    Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party
    hacks now.

    Steve Schmidt is not a Republican. After he left the party, he
    decided to have some fun, founding The Lincoln Project.

    Republican party hacks hate him for that. So does Donald Trump.

    What is Trumpism anyway?

    A death cult.

    I agree it has changed dramatically. I can't see the dictatorship though. You know, here in Melbourne, Australia, we are subject to curfews and the harshest lockdown. We don't have constitutional freedom of speech, or the same right to bear arms. People go on and on about this fascistic dictatorship, but I can't see what rights and freedoms you have actually LOST. What freedom has Trump taken from you that you had under Obama?

    The only thing I see is that you are less free to hold an opinion which contradicts orthodoxy, but I don't see Trump destroying the lives of people who hold these opinions, but others. I see Big Tech censorship, companies firing people, cancel culture, things which affect the population at large. Please enlightenment how Trump is limiting your movement speech or action?

    I didn't wish for Obama to win, as I'm not a US citizen it doesn't affect me to greatly. Also, not wanting one candidate to win doesn't mean you wish the other would. If I was a voter, I would have preferred a candidate who is a cross between Nader and Buchanan, perhaps more Nader than Buchanan. But McCain was in my mind unfit and dangerous.

    The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans,

    You guys are worked up over very little and seem to be overreacting. He's boorish, but not a disaster. I keep in touch with a few people in the USA, and none of them have noted any new fascistic laws or impositions from the government.

    I mean, seriously, you are posting here, under your REAL name, calling Trump a leader of a death cult, a fascist, that he needs to go, and are free to do so without consequence. AS IS EVERYONE ELSE. If you really WERE living under a fascist regime, you would dissapear, or suddenly find yourself imposed upon, or be threatened, or your family threatened, or as happened in Communist Russia, if you were lucky, only moved to a crapper job or lost your residence. None of that is happening. It is ONLY the Cancel Culture mob doing that. For that reason, I call BS on your claim.

    Hello Aaron,

    it has become nothing more than a polite fiction. What Republicans are >LL>voting for is dictatorship under Trump & Co.

    We're voting for Trump policy.

    Trumpers are not voting for Trump due to whatever "policy" he has,
    as he has no policy.

    It's not a dictatorship.

    I call it Trumpism rather than dictatorship. A dictatorship is more
    like government by committee. Trumpism is more like "do as I say" -
    regardless of what I do.

    The Republican party is a lot more united than you want it to be.

    Those who have aligned themselves with Trump are more united than
    any party has been. That is not the same as the Republican Party being
    more united. Far from it. Many have broken away and are now Independent
    or remain Republican in name only.

    Nobody has argued with Trump's policy or actions,

    George Will, Steve Schmidt, Mitt Romney, a whole slew of others ...

    from our end, with the exception of 2 immature idiots who feel hurt because
    they lost their elections.

    It is a lot more than that, including Pulitzer-winning authors.

    I was proud to hear George W. Bush say that reports of him endorsing Biden
    were completely false.

    It would be surprising to find any former Republican president to
    endorse a Democrat for president. But no surprise at all that GWB
    refused to endorse Trump for a second term.

    I bet that even Jeb Bush will at least vote for Trump.

    I seriously doubt it. Especially since many who worked on the
    Bush campaign are now actively working on the Biden campaign.

    No living Republican (except for Mitt) is endorsing Biden.

    Like I said, it would be surprising if any former Republican
    preident would endorse a Demcorat for president. Just as it would
    be surprising if any former Democrat president would endorse a
    Republican for president.

    But for a former Republican president, such as George W. Bush,
    not to endorse a sitting Republican president. That has got to
    hurt. Bigly.

    At least not any living federal Republicans.

    I am sure George H.W. Bush would have done the same as GWB
    had he still been alive.

    Well there you go, someone who thought McCain would be a good president!

    There is absolutely no doubt he would have been a far better president
    than what we have sitting in the White House today.

    Would you in 10 years time, old highly the opinion of someone who ran Trumps
    campaign?

    Which one? Two of them went to jail, and the third one quit and
    is awaiting trial.

    He's changed his views maybe, I don't know.

    Steve Schmidt is the same Steve Schmidt he has always been.

    I don't really care, its one opinion and I don't know what his motives are.

    One of his motives is to get rid of Trump.

    If we are talking of a politician here, the motives are likely self-serving.

    Trump is a politician. Schmidt is not.

    I agree it has changed dramatically. I can't see the dictatorship though.

    Authoritarianism = Dictatorship

    You know, here in Melbourne, Australia, we are subject to curfews and the
    harshest lockdown.

    The governors of several states in the USA, including Louisiana,
    issued mandatory curfews and harsh lockdowns as the pandemic is a
    public health issue.

    We don't have constitutional freedom of speech, or the same right to bear
    arms.

    Australians have similar rights. Not the same, but similar.

    People go on and on about this fascistic dictatorship, but I can't see what
    rights and freedoms you have actually LOST.

    The thing about fascism is one never notices until it hits you
    in the face. Look at fascism as a form of weakened democracy.
    Once a democracy has been weakened to the point where it no longer
    matters, it is no longer a democracy but something else. And we
    all know that power cannot exist in a vacuum.

    What freedom has Trump taken from you that you had under Obama?

    Where's the check? With no check, Trump can in effect rule by decree.

    The only thing I see is that you are less free to hold an opinion which >contradicts orthodoxy, but I don't see Trump destroying the lives of people
    who hold these opinions, but others. I see Big Tech censorship, companies firing people, cancel culture, things which affect the population at large.
    Please enlightenment how Trump is limiting your movement speech or action?

    Earlier this year, by presidential proclamation, Trump told the world
    who could, and could not, travel to the USA. He did not need approval
    from anybody else. Not his cabinet. Not the Congress. Not the American
    people. Not the UN. He acted on his own.

    Those presidential proclamations remain in effect today. Unchallenged.

    So yes, my Australian friend. Trump is very much limiting your movement
    speech or action. In every which way he wants and can.

    I'm not a US citizen, but I'm just saying, that if I was in the US, I >>couldn't have voted for the party of McCain or Romney, and I would have >>preferred to see them lose.

    You got your wish in 2008, when Barack Obama won.
    And again in 2012, when Barack Obama did it a second time.

    I didn't wish for Obama to win, as I'm not a US citizen it doesn't affect me
    to greatly. Also, not wanting one candidate to win doesn't mean you wish
    the
    other would. If I was a voter, I would have preferred a candidate who is a >cross between Nader and Buchanan, perhaps more Nader than Buchanan. But
    McCain was in my mind unfit and dangerous.

    Steve Schmidt was McCain's campaign manager in 2008. Schmidt is a
    political consultant, John McCain his client at the time. Sometimes
    your client wins, sometimes not. It is the nature of the game.

    The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans, >>it hasn't for a long time.

    Republicans holding office represent the interests of Donald Trump,
    not the interests of the American people.

    Both parties act in a self-serving manner.

    One more time. The Republican Party exists no more as a viable
    political party. It has been taken over by Donald Trump.

    Pooh to them I say!

    And those who continue to support them.

    Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party >>hacks now.

    Steve Schmidt is not a Republican. After he left the party, he
    decided to have some fun, founding The Lincoln Project.

    Republican party hacks hate him for that. So does Donald Trump.

    What is Trumpism anyway?

    A death cult.

    You guys are worked up over very little and seem to be overreacting. He's >boorish, but not a disaster. I keep in touch with a few people in the USA,
    and none of them have noted any new fascistic laws or impositions from the
    government.

    Nobody objected when Adolf Hitler did the same thing in Germany.
    Until it was too late. That is the problem with fascism. Nobody
    notices what it is until it is too late. Weakened democracy. That
    is my definition of fascism. What is yours?

    I mean, seriously, you are posting here, under your REAL name, calling Trump
    a leader of a death cult, a fascist, that he needs to go, and are free to
    do so without consequence.

    One more time. I said Trump is the symptom. Not the disease.
    Do keep up.

    AS IS EVERYONE ELSE.

    Hitler asked the world to take in Germany's Jews. The world refused.
    So Hitler sent the Jews to work camps. So they could all make money for
    the Reich. Unfortunately, they did not work hard enough to enjoy their long-deserved reward ...

    If you really WERE living under a fascist regime, you would dissapear, or
    suddenly find yourself imposed upon, or be threatened, or your family threatened, or as happened in Communist Russia, if you were lucky, only
    moved to a crapper job or lost your residence.

    Oh, come now. Everybody knows Hitler hated Commies. And Jews.
    And gays. And blacks. And just about everybody else who wasn't
    German or Aryan. Especially those who were mental. No telling
    what he did with those who were mental ...

    None of that is happening. It is ONLY the Cancel Culture mob doing that.
    For that reason, I call BS on your claim.

    Hitler never conceded. Had to be forced out of office. By an
    invasion of Russkies. But he made sure no secrets would be spilled.
    First thing he did was to off his beloved German Shepherd "Blondie"
    with a pill. Then give his girlfriend a shot. Next step on board
    a Geman U-boat headed straight for South America.

    Some claim he is still alive and well.

    Get a grip.

    Well, you never know. Germans did have very good doctors ...

    I've heard about vans whisking people away, but not much more than rumours.

    It's not a rumour, I have seen video of these police doing this.

    I've heard a lot of rumours, about Trump supposedly removing mailboxes, which turned out not to be what is claimed.

    The USPS under Donald Trumps newly installed crony has removed sorting machines and and stopped overtime and these actions have resulted in a slowdown of postal service. Many in the US get their prescriptions by mail and they have not been getting them delivered on time.

    Mailboxes have been removed because it is said they are no longed needed.

    Who has dissappeared?

    I don't know or think anyone has dissapeared. Being a new and secret police not much is known about them currently.

    We're voting for Trump policy.

    Trumpers are not voting for Trump due to whatever "policy" he has,
    as he has no policy.

    How could you actually know what a Trump supporter is voting for? I couldn't tell you what Biden voters are voting for unless you count vagueness.

    I think Joe's gonna lose the debates, just like Hillary did, for the same reason as Hillary (vagueness.)

    There comes a time when you need to stop supporting dying candidates; they are just being parasites to you, while you should be focusing on finding other elections that are more winnable.

    You must have congress members up for election this year - tell us about them. Do they have any good policy proposals? Are they reaslistic? Are you more comfortable with your Democratic candidate(s) or your Republican one(s)?

    Trump's reign can only last 4 more years - that's nothing. Try living with a horrible governor for like mine for 9 years already. Nothing I can do about that. King Cuomo is the crusty old piece of toilet paper that won't fall off, but instead of cry about it, I focus on positive things; my district's US Rep candidate is doing a better job in her campaign this year - so I'm sorta pleased with her even though she sucks.

    Yes. It's called Antifa and it's a branch of the Democrat party.

    There are real problems in America today but antifa isn't it. It has been investigated by the FBI at least and no charges laid. Antifa is little more than an anti fascist ideaology.

    All the negative Trump coverage seems really fake to me. I still haven't heard anyone tell me a single thing that Trump has done wrong. They say stuff, but I just don't see any of it as wrong.

    Did you used to live in the USA before? I appreciate everyone's opinion, including yours, but certain regions of the USA have different political concerns. The federal government (Trump/USCongress/USSenate/USSupreme Court) makes decisions that the whole country has to live by, but when Nancy Pelosi has a campaign built on "Screw Trump," then how is he supposed to negotiate with her? She knows his phone number, but his phone ain't ringing. She refuses to cooperate on a "2nd stimulus payment" to help the middle class with the economic burdon resulting from coronavirus. Americans are hungry for that money! And Trump is ready to serve it up, but there's no way Nancy's gonna
    let Trump have that type of victory 2 months away from election day.

    Your dream of hanging out with Robert Deniro and Rosie Perez can come true without drinking Democrat kool aid.

    Nancy Peloci and the senate had their stimulus ready in May. It was the repulicans who couldn't come to agreement on it, even at the end of August.

    That is a republican, not a democrat failure.

    up,

    If Trump was ready to serve it up he would have done that.

    Hello Dennis,

    [..]

    Steve Schmidt is a former Republican, having left the party in 2018.
    He is the person who ran John McCain's campaign for president in 2008.
    Today he is an Independent, as many other Republicans have also left
    the party. I am not affiliated with any political party, and choose
    to remain so.

    Well there you go, someone who thought McCain would be a good president!

    He seemed to me the kind of guy to start a war.

    There is absolutely no doubt he would have been a far better president than what we have sitting in the White House today.

    Would you in 10 years time, old highly the opinion of someone who ran Trumps
    campaign?

    Which one? Two of them went to jail, and the third one quit and
    is awaiting trial.

    He's changed his views maybe, I don't know.

    Steve Schmidt is the same Steve Schmidt he has always been.

    I don't really care, its one opinion and I don't know what his motives are.

    One of his motives is to get rid of Trump.

    If we are talking of a politician here, the motives are likely self-serving.

    Trump is a politician. Schmidt is not.

    Up until 2016, when the Democratic party thought that Hillary would be a
    good president, I would have (if I was a US citizen) not wanted to vote
    Republican.

    Although some Democrats did vote for Trump in 2016, many of those
    same Democrats regret having done so. Will they vote for Biden? Or
    will they choose not to vote at all? That is the question.

    As for Republicans, their Republican Party no longer exists. Today
    it has become nothing more than a polite fiction. What Republicans are
    voting for is dictatorship under Trump & Co.

    I agree it has changed dramatically. I can't see the dictatorship though.

    Authoritarianism = Dictatorship

    You know, here in Melbourne, Australia, we are subject to curfews and the
    harshest lockdown.

    The governors of several states in the USA, including Louisiana,
    issued mandatory curfews and harsh lockdowns as the pandemic is a
    public health issue.

    I note the current governer of Louisiana is a Democrat. I have my doubts that broad lockdowns are the most effective solution. It has failed in Victoria. The problem is, casting your net too broad means you miss focusing on the areas where you need to focus.

    I can't go out for a walk at night, alone, but somehow, a hotel where infected people where quarantined couldn't keep people from walking around to the shops becuase they simply though contractor security guards would do.


    We don't have constitutional freedom of speech, or the same right to bear
    arms.

    Australians have similar rights. Not the same, but similar.

    No, we don't. Australia has no constituational right to free speech. Have a look at the UK, where people are ARRESTED simply for a tweet. The state is able to make laws limiting speech. The one thing it cant do, is speech directly related to a political campaign.

    People go on and on about this fascistic dictatorship, but I can't see what
    rights and freedoms you have actually LOST.

    The thing about fascism is one never notices until it hits you
    in the face. Look at fascism as a form of weakened democracy.
    Once a democracy has been weakened to the point where it no longer matters, it is no longer a democracy but something else. And we
    all know that power cannot exist in a vacuum.

    What freedom has Trump taken from you that you had under Obama?

    Where's the check? With no check, Trump can in effect rule by decree.

    The only thing I see is that you are less free to hold an opinion which
    contradicts orthodoxy, but I don't see Trump destroying the lives of people
    who hold these opinions, but others. I see Big Tech censorship, companies firing people, cancel culture, things which affect the population at large.
    Please enlightenment how Trump is limiting your movement speech or action?

    Earlier this year, by presidential proclamation, Trump told the world
    who could, and could not, travel to the USA. He did not need approval
    from anybody else. Not his cabinet. Not the Congress. Not the American people. Not the UN. He acted on his own.


    Australia did that too. In fact, we can't travel between states. I cannot travel more than 5km from home, except for work, or even LEAVE MY HOUSE after 8PM.

    The reason Trump did this? COVID. Just before, you were talking about a public health crisis in response to my comment about curfew, now you are charging Trump with closing borders to people coming in.

    If that makes Trump a fascist, what does it make my state Premier, who's impositions are much, much harsher?

    Those presidential proclamations remain in effect today. Unchallenged.

    So yes, my Australian friend. Trump is very much limiting your movement speech or action. In every which way he wants and can.

    As are most government, often to a greater degree. Does that make then Fascist too?

    By the way, that is limiting FOREIGNERS coming in. Not you.

    I'm not a US citizen, but I'm just saying, that if I was in the US, I
    couldn't have voted for the party of McCain or Romney, and I would have
    preferred to see them lose.

    You got your wish in 2008, when Barack Obama won.
    And again in 2012, when Barack Obama did it a second time.

    I didn't wish for Obama to win, as I'm not a US citizen it doesn't affect me
    to greatly. Also, not wanting one candidate to win doesn't mean you wish the
    other would. If I was a voter, I would have preferred a candidate who is a
    cross between Nader and Buchanan, perhaps more Nader than Buchanan. But
    McCain was in my mind unfit and dangerous.

    Steve Schmidt was McCain's campaign manager in 2008. Schmidt is a political consultant, John McCain his client at the time. Sometimes
    your client wins, sometimes not. It is the nature of the game.

    The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans,
    it hasn't for a long time.

    Republicans holding office represent the interests of Donald Trump,
    not the interests of the American people.

    Both parties act in a self-serving manner.

    One more time. The Republican Party exists no more as a viable
    political party. It has been taken over by Donald Trump.

    Pooh to them I say!

    And those who continue to support them.

    Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party
    hacks now.

    Steve Schmidt is not a Republican. After he left the party, he
    decided to have some fun, founding The Lincoln Project.

    Republican party hacks hate him for that. So does Donald Trump.

    What is Trumpism anyway?

    A death cult.

    You guys are worked up over very little and seem to be overreacting. He's
    boorish, but not a disaster. I keep in touch with a few people in the USA,
    and none of them have noted any new fascistic laws or impositions from the
    government.

    Nobody objected when Adolf Hitler did the same thing in Germany.
    Until it was too late. That is the problem with fascism. Nobody
    notices what it is until it is too late. Weakened democracy. That
    is my definition of fascism. What is yours?

    Here is my prediction. Trump will not implement a Hitlerian fascism.

    I'm willing to bet money on it. In fact, I think he will win the election.

    There isn't a president, or Liberal Prime Minister here, who hasn't been compared to Hitler. It's so, so tiresome. It's just a dumb comparison.

    You should relax.

    If you are worried about the next Hitler, maybe look accross the Pacific.

    I mean, seriously, you are posting here, under your REAL name, calling Trump
    a leader of a death cult, a fascist, that he needs to go, and are free to
    do so without consequence.

    One more time. I said Trump is the symptom. Not the disease.
    Do keep up.

    Then attack the disease, not Trump.

    AS IS EVERYONE ELSE.

    Hitler asked the world to take in Germany's Jews. The world refused.
    So Hitler sent the Jews to work camps. So they could all make money for the Reich. Unfortunately, they did not work hard enough to enjoy their long-deserved reward ...

    If you really WERE living under a fascist regime, you would dissapear, or
    suddenly find yourself imposed upon, or be threatened, or your family threatened, or as happened in Communist Russia, if you were lucky, only moved to a crapper job or lost your residence.

    Oh, come now. Everybody knows Hitler hated Commies. And Jews.
    And gays. And blacks. And just about everybody else who wasn't
    German or Aryan. Especially those who were mental. No telling
    what he did with those who were mental ...


    None of that is happening. It is ONLY the Cancel Culture mob doing that.
    For that reason, I call BS on your claim.

    Hitler never conceded. Had to be forced out of office. By an
    invasion of Russkies. But he made sure no secrets would be spilled.
    First thing he did was to off his beloved German Shepherd "Blondie"
    with a pill. Then give his girlfriend a shot. Next step on board
    a Geman U-boat headed straight for South America.

    Some claim he is still alive and well.

    Get a grip.

    Who is still alive? Hitler?

    Well, you never know. Germans did have very good doctors ...

    I think you have more important things to worry about. Yes, Trump is the symptom, but he is in the end, a historical footnote. The fuss against Trump, and the social chaos that people are creating, will leave a longer and larger legacy, than anything that Trump himself actually did.

    I've heard a lot of rumours, about Trump supposedly removing mailboxes,
    which
    turned out not to be what is claimed.

    The USPS under Donald Trumps newly installed crony has removed sorting machines and and stopped overtime and these actions have resulted in a slowdown of postal service. Many in the US get their prescriptions by
    mail and they have not been getting them delivered on time.

    Mailboxes have been removed because it is said they are no longed
    needed.

    Who has dissappeared?

    I don't know or think anyone has dissapeared. Being a new and secret police not much is known about them currently.

    Well there you go...

    No one has dissappeared. So what happened to them? Just the usual process? If that is the case, so what?

    I too, am waiting for this and anxiously waiting for proof of the so-called "fascism in Trump's America" that is verifiable undeniable proof and not ju some usual leftist whinefest.

    In the earliest stage of the USA's virus breakout, back around March, Nancy Pelosi and her goons were wrapping up closing arguments in their failed presidential impeachment trial. They were ready to impeach Trump again when he said "everybody needs to stay home." Nancy even encouraged people to go out in public - just to spite Trump. But the roles eventually reversed, with Trump eventually saying "let's open back up carefully," while Pelosi said "we're
    not opening anything back up because it would help Trump's economy."

    There isn't a president, or Liberal Prime Minister here, who hasn't been compared to Hitler. It's so, so tiresome. It's just a dumb comparison.

    That's a good point! The Democrats are panicking because they have nothing to legitimately complain about with Trump. So, they are saying childing stuff like "He's just like Hitler!" and "He disparaged military members!"

    If anyone could show me video or audio footage of Trump bulldozing skeletons, or cheerleading for the Viet Cong, then I'll vote Biden.

    I was only saying that Donald's Demagoguery was nothing new.

    But I disagree with you there, because this is Donald's first time demagoging. He's not a career politician, he's a business tycoon. The only thing he has to gain in being our president, is his pride in doing what he feels is right for the American people.

    Joe Biden was part of a very mismanaged White House cabinet. To switch Joe with the guy who has done everything to help guys like me, and our families, is an uncomfortable thought.

    If you don't like Trump, and it sounds like you don't, then you should at least have some understanding that the majority of the USA is NOT happy about the prospect of a Joe Biden administration. If we had to replace Trump with a Democrat, it shouldn't be a member of a failed administration's cabinet. We had 2 military war veterans in the Democratic primary, and it seems like the flaky left here in the states chose the black race over reason. Even before he announced "Kamala," this was the guy from the black guy's administration, so how does that sound in vote marketing? The DNC wouldn't let an advantage like that slip by.

    Imagine all the photos that Joe Biden has of him with the Obamas. Is that gonna trick the ancestors of slaves into voting Democrat or what?

    gain in being our president, is his pride in doing what he feels is right for the American people.

    Donald was always a demogogue. He's the first demogogue in the White House that I can recall.

    Joe Biden was part of a very mismanaged White House cabinet. To switch Joe with the guy who has done everything to help guys like me, and our families, is an uncomfortable thought.

    Obama and Biden did pretty well in the White House. Donald Trump does not care about you or your family.

    If you don't like Trump, and it sounds like you don't,

    Actually I like Trump. He has given me a belly laugh or five over the Years.

    Your Fired! That's great.

    But I think Donald Trump is way out of his element in the White House. I'd prefer Donald go to Mar-a-Logo and do whatever it is he does.

    then you should at least have some understanding that the majority of the
    USA is NOT happy about the prospect of a Joe Biden administration.

    Is that so? In two short months the people will go to the polls and make a decision about who they want to be president.

    I hope that won't be messy, it doesn't need to be but things tend to get messy around Donald Trump.

    If we had to replace Trump with a Democrat, it shouldn't be a member of a failed administration's cabinet.

    What was the failure of the Obama/Biden administration?

    We had 2 military war veterans in the Democratic primary, and it seems like the flaky left here in the states chose the black race over reason. Even before he announced "Kamala," this was the guy from the black guy's administration, so how does that sound in vote marketing? The DNC wouldn't let an advantage like that slip by.

    Biden had to choose someone and ultimately he choose Kamala. Could be any number of reasons why. I think Kamala is a good choice. She did good things for ordinary Americans back in the housing crunch. Back in those days the Obama administration put laws in place so that wouldn't happen again. Trump has since taken those laws down so it could indeed happen again.

    Imagine all the photos that Joe Biden has of him with the Obamas. Is that gonna trick the ancestors of slaves into voting Democrat or what?

    Joe Biden has a good standing in history. Every American, black, white or otherwise has the freedom to vote as they choose/will.

    White millionaire career politician shows up at black guy's funeral? What?

    You're beeing silly.

    Was Barack Obama's VP? What!? Legalize prostitution? What!?

    Law enforcement in Canada does not spend a lot of resources on prostitution, as long as no one is being hurt.

    Hello Aaron,

    How about Air Force One arriving in Freeland, Michigan for a Trump
    pep rally as "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is

    You're using too much imagination. Trump's not gonna promote draft dodging.

    If anyone could show me video or audio footage of Trump bulldozing
    skeletons, or cheerleading for the Viet Cong, then I'll vote Biden.

    Your own words. Time for you to own up to them.
    Read the lyrics of the song.
    Or get stoned while listening to the music.
    It's all the same.
    Rich boys cheerleading for the Viet Cong.

    It looks like a campagin management error to me though. There's no reason
    why he shouldn't be using music from Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, or Phil Sousan (Trump supporters.)

    No excuses. You said you would vote for Biden if Trump did something
    really bonehead stupid like "cheerleading for the Viet Cong". Time for
    you to own up.

    Thank you Lee, for pointing out the biggest mistake of Trump's campagin:
    Using the wrong music. Let's see if Kellyanne can do better this time!

    First of all, Kellyanne is no longer part of the Trump campaign.
    But no matter. Trump is responsible for everything his campaign does.
    He has not apologized for his choice of music. Therefore, your claim
    is bogus.

    Time to own up.

    Hello Alan,

    But I disagree with you there, because this is Donald's first time
    demagoging. He's not a career politician, he's a business tycoon. The only >> thing he has to gain in being our president, is his pride in doing what he >> feels is right for the American people.

    Donald was always a demogogue. He's the first demogogue in the White House
    that I can recall.

    Huey P. Long would have been had a doctor not shot him dead first.
    Some say Huey's bodyguards did it, as the doctor was hit so many times
    that one of those bullets hit Huey. Blew off part of his penis and he
    wound up bleeding to death.

    The investigators tested the evidence (the doctor's gun) destroying
    the evidence in the process. There are bullet holes in the marble wall
    of the state capital where Huey was shot. Nobody knows for sure which
    bullet(s) hit Huey.

    Earl K. Long would have been a better demagogue than his brother Huey.
    But he was happy being governor, and never quite made it to DC. Well,
    he did win his last election - to the US House of Representatives. But
    he was sick at the time and passed away before being able to take the
    oath of office.

    When Barack Obama first took office as president I thought we had a
    black Huey P. Long. He was that good of a speaker, and people believed
    in him as a kind of lord and savior. But as things turned out, he was
    a mere human and came down to Earth after Republicans took over the
    Congress in the next election.

    Derrangement! What about Sara Sanders? A liar too? And Sean Spencer? Lying for the big guy? These spokespersons have been awesome. If anyone tries to give that adorable little lady a difficult day at work, then she sets their asses straight! She knows she has big shoes to fill with the departure of Sara Sanders, and she does a great job. Now I want to see Trump's campaign manager wow me.

    Donald was always a demogogue. He's the first demogogue in the White House that I can recall.

    Was always? Like since 2016? Prior to that he was a businessman/tv personality. This "demagogue" stuff is a political thing referring to a person pandering for votes, like Joe Biden did with black people.

    White millionaire career politician shows up at black guy's funeral? What?

    You're beeing silly.

    It's not me being silly, it's Joe Biden being a race-baiter. What's the narrative on this for liberals? What did the media tell you about this? Nothing? Did you not know that Joe Biden attended George Floyd's funeral? Are you starting to catch up yet?

    I don't listen to song lyrics. I hate Creedence Clearwater. I liked them
    when I was a kid, but I don't give a crap about song syrics.

    When I was a kid, me and all the other kids my age learned all the
    lyrics to every song. We probably knew them better than the musicians themselves.

    No excuses. You said you would vote for Biden if Trump did something >LL>really bonehead stupid like "cheerleading for the Viet Cong". Time for >LL>you to own up.

    He wasn't supporting Viet Cong. John Fogerty can kiss it.

    "I wrote the song back in 1969 at the height of the Vietnam War.
    By the time I wrote the song, I had already been drafted and had
    served in the military. And I've been a livelong supporter of our
    guys and gals in the military, probably because of that experience."
    ~ John Fogerty

    Fogerty went on to say he wrote the song, in part, because he was
    "upset" about how rich people with privilege and money would avoid
    the draft.

    IOW, John Fogerty is a True American Patriot.

    Quite unlike the assclown who occupies the WH today.
    Five deferments, including one for bone spurs, to avoid
    serving in Vietnam.

    GWB did the same thing, using his connections with the wealthy to
    get a coveted slot with the Texas Air National Guard as a way to avoid
    service in Vietnam. And then went AWOL early so he could get his teeth
    cleaned in Alabama.

    He has not apologized for his choice of music. Therefore, your claim
    is bogus.

    I don't recognize any bogus claim made by me in recent days.

    I quoted your exact words. But that's okay. You don't want to
    own up to it. Just like your golden boy.

    Hello Aaron,

    I guess he must be a Republican then. :)

    I have absolutely no idea what his party affiliation might be,
    or if he ever was affiliated with any party.

    Donald Trump used any excuse he could find in order to avoid military
    service in Vietnam. I am sure his daddy helped him in that regard.
    Had nothing to do with his ability to serve. Everything to do with
    his being a chicken-shit bastard who refused to serve his country.

    Do you want a private who sits down on the job?

    Donald Trump never bothered taking a physical. That's what happens
    when you get a deferment. The military cannot give you a physical to
    see if you can cut the mustard. Donald Trump went doctor shopping.
    Found a doctor who would tell the military he could not serve. I am
    sure his daddy paid for the doctor visit.

    Or do you want a private who is in so much pain from standing, that he can't
    focus on his task?

    Donald Trump has never had surgery on his feet. He seems to be
    doing fine standing on his feet during all those Trump rallies.

    Donald "Bone Spur Cadet" Trump. A most fitting name.

    I've had bone spurs for decades and I still haven't had any surgery.

    doing fine standing on his feet during all those Trump rallies.

    But you're not an administrative law judge, correct? The military does a lot more than stand around giving speeches. Did you ever notice how Trump always leans on the podium? It's probably because bone spurs hurt like hell.

    Donald "Bone Spur Cadet" Trump. A most fitting name.

    The same thing could have happened to me if I were a kid during Nam. I have bone spurs. I'd get kicked out of the army, then people would bitch at me for it.

    On 06 Sep 2020, Dale Shipp said the following...

    What has Trump done to incite and encourage violence?

    He supported the neo-nazis at Charlottesville. He cheered on that
    caravan of his supporters who came to Portland shooting paintballs at
    BLM protesters. At his rallies he repeatedly invited his supporters to beat up protesters. He gave support to Rittenhouse who shot three protesters in Kenosha. He sent troopers into Portland, armed to the teeth, which only resulted in stirring up the flames. At a political rally in Montana he praised the assault of a Republican who body slammed
    a reporter. There are many more examples. It is common behavior by
    him.

    All of these examples is based on your perception of which is liberal.
    It Does not mean that how it is in reality, because if was there would be
    much more spin even more chaos over these events that your talking about.
