Will We Stop Trump
Before It’s Too Late?
Fascism poses a more serious threat now than
at any time since the end of World War II.

On April 28, 1945 — 73 years ago — Italians hung the corpse of their former dictator Benito Mussolini upside down next to a gas station in Milan. Two days later, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his bunker beneath the streets of war-ravaged Berlin. Fascism, it appeared, was dead.

To guard against a recurrence, the survivors of war and the Holocaust joined forces to create the United Nations, forge global financial institutions and — through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — strengthen the rule of law. In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down and the honor roll of elected governments swelled not only in Central Europe, but also Latin America, Africa and Asia. Almost everywhere, it seemed, dictators were out and democrats were in. Freedom was ascendant.

Today, we are in a new era, testing whether the democratic banner can remain aloft amid terrorism, sectarian conflicts, vulnerable borders, rogue social media and the cynical schemes of ambitious men. The answer is not self-evident. We may be encouraged that most people in most countries still want to live freely and in peace, but there is no ignoring the storm clouds that have gathered. In fact, fascism — and the tendencies that lead toward fascism — pose a more serious threat now than at any time since the end of World War II.

A woman who was raised Catholic, practices Anglican dogma and feeds off her Jewish roots to succour uncritical fame.

United Nations was wasn't created by Jewish Holocaust survivors, it was 50 nations including, in no small part Australia and communist Russia out to provide a forum for peaceful friendly relations, security and cooperation; a circuit breaker for tensions between sovereign nations. It wasn't about facism, jews and democratic nations.
 
Freedom of Speech. Yes, you have that providing you check first that you are allowed to say it.

If you cant say it then people look at you wondering what you are really thinking. That leads to people not saying what they think. I say, "Each to their own", more often than before and shrug my shoulders. Perhaps that shrug, carefully timed, says everything.
 
All in all President Trump has made politics more exciting. Even though he is really a business man and not a politician.
 
Trump is playing games for real. If one side is bluffing in a real world with a big army and rockets then you have to bluff with a bigger army and many more rockets. The small guy bluffing has to look to those close by who are angry or afraid and placate them and visit them in an act of pretend friendship. The position becomes a friendly deadlock as one side tries to act out a better role than the other.

When a meeting takes place both seem to have the same friends. So an agreement takes place to leave things as they are and pretend your army and rockets are there purely for protection. As they are all meeting and smiling away they all realise they have pretend friends everywhere.

Both pronounce how well things went and the great achievements made. All the pretend friends hail the great success and congratulate each other. Life wanders on.

I think that if you're a big guy with big guns, you can own the small guys by being their friend and providing them protection. That's it.

There is no need to tweet about your red button being bigger, no need for name calling. It's beneath you.

As to why the US want to talk and "make peace" with N.Korea... I couldn't figure it out really. Not that I should be able to, but as an idiot on the street, the move just doesn't make sense to me.

I mean... the only reason for the US, or anyone, wanting the likes of North Korea to disarm its WMD is so that it could carpet bomb the place and liberate it whenever it wants to.

That's pretty much the only reason because no small dictator would ever dare attack a country like the US.. unless it's suicidal.

So to disarm lil Kim with offer of peace and permitting others to trade with it... that doesn't bring the US any benefit really. I can't bomb and take over N.Korea because that will bring in the Chinese.

As events in Syria and Iraq have shown, inviting a properly armed nuclear power to fight against you isn't a smart move. No one but the military industrial complex would win that kind of war.

So is the US planning to attack N.Korea one day? That just doesn't make sense... I mean, China back in the 50s with its peasant army would still go over to push the US back. They're a lot stronger now.

Then to not attack but make peace and remove the "threat" from N.Korea... What then would be the reason for all those military bases and personnel on the peninsular? All over South Korea, Japan etc.?

You can't say it's to keep China in check 'cause that's not cool.

Anyway...
 
LOL. So if the cars and guns don't kill 'em the opioid will :)

Opioids killed more people last year than either car accidents or gun violence.

That's why The Orange Emperor is thinking aloud about the death penalty for drug pushers.

As we all know, the only reason people take drugs is because it's available. So you get tough on the pushers because they're having it too easy under Obama. Problem solved.

If not solved, you can always declare a second war on drugs and send more Marines to South America :xyxthumbs


It's freakin scary that people like Trump are out there making decisions affecting lives.

Pro-Life, for sure.

That's why Trump and the Republicans are banning assault rifles and making it harder to buy guns so that kids and Americans don't get shot whenever, whereever. Oh wait.

Pro-life that's why Trump and the Republicans are curbing the use of fossil to transition towards renewables just in case Climate Change is real and "natural" disasters don't kill and destroy life. Oh.

Pro-life that's why Trump and the Republicans take some from those who have more money than they can ever know what to do with... to give to those poor and needy, living day to day; to help insure or pay for medical care... Oh.

But they do give food to sustain the kids and widows and elderly... Oh wait. They take those funds away to give tax cuts to billionaires and more money than even the generals at the Pentagon asked for.

I'm getting a sense that they're Pro something other than life here.

Not sure but I heard that the current opioids crisis are mainly from the legal drugs rather than the illegal ones.

One family in the US pretty much dominate that legal opiod/painkiller drugs. Market it deceptively to doctors and GPs and chemists. Get the entire nation hooked on it.

But it's probably just the Mexicans and a few Mr White breaking bad that's the problem. I mean, the other ones fund museums and collect fine arts so they can't be bad.
 
You are entitled to your view, Luutzu.

I am PRO FAMILY.
RESPONSIBILITY.

Donald Trump has given RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

What religious liberty?

Does the Pope approve of Trump and his policies? Don't think he does.

Trump sleeps around, cheats on his wife; divorces one (older) wife for another (younger, blonder) ones... So where's the family value?

He grabs women, sexually assault those who he couldn't bed.

Just about all of his policies, the actual law as opposed to the talks and photo ops, are anti "Christian Value" and destroys life.

He tax the poor and give to the rich. Jesus wouldn't have done that.

He expand wars and its funding. Talks about nuclear war like it's a game... for money, he and his goons deregulate environmental protection, whatever is left of it. etc. etc. etc.

He's pulling the biggest con in world history.
 
 
You are entitled to your view, Tink.

If you are pro Donald Trump and are happy to endorse his evils in the name of religious freedom that's fine with me.

He ain't my master :)
