Don't forget his comments on torture, too. Databases of "dissidents" and broad acceptance of torture, what could go wrong?

Thanks, just added that. And don't get me started on his anti-science stance and other textbook Fascism 101 rhetoric.

How is having the biggest and strong military ever a bad thing? Considering we have had that since post-WW2. He is on record for saying that he wants to slash the budget.

The military industrial complex For-Profit war machine is OUT OF CONTROL AND NEVER-ENDING.

The Hillary/comedians issue has been debunked as an anonymous call. It would be pretty stupid of her campaign to do something like that. Truth is, she would just be Obama 2.0, nothing would change.
Now Trump on the other hand does have a long history of suing people for hurting his fee fees.

At least 3rd parties and independants are gaining more traction. This is my ideal scenario next year:
Trump finally has enough of the Republicans shitting on him, goes independent, and splits the vote. This not only kills him and the Republicans, it shows voters that independents DO have a chance.
Meanwhile, Clinton crushes Sanders out of existence, but then her past (the email scandal maybe) finally comes to bite her in the ass, killing her in the polls. This is the least likely scenario, as Hilary is one hell of a slippery politician, but she's also quite filthy.
This pushes libertarians past the % threshold they need for Federal funding, which will hopefully spell the end of this god awful 2 party system the US has been stuck with for ages by 2020.

Really? Trump is the new Hitler? I can't believe someone actually wrote this piece of garbage. I hope it's a joke article.

Fair enough to pound on the Repulicans. So where is the shit on the Democrates list?

Won't find it in this circle jerk
You think Donald trump is a fascist? you should check out this guy called Bernie Sanders, he wants to remove your guns and force you to pay 90% of your income to a gigantic government
christ fucking sake just check out Obama the fascist

According to the memo, Mair and her allies — which include veteran Florida operative Rick Wilson — aren't looking to change the minds of Trump's supporters. They're hoping those supporters simply stay home.

Exactly, people have to call out the blatant retarded anti-Trump shills who are just regurgitating liberal talking points
[–] TheDude2 2 points 4 points 6 points (+6|-2) ago
So less of a police state then the one Obama built and Hillary wants.
[–] TheDude2 2 points 4 points 6 points (+6|-2) ago
Seems like a smaller police state then the Obama police state. At least trump is pro Nra.
