Not sure which is worse: an actual fascist leader driving democratic society and liberties down or an incompetent grifter who enables others like him to do the same.

Even if America doesn't turn fascist in the next decade (a pretty big if), Trump has certainly paved the way for the eroding of civil liberties and hateful rhetoric to be much more acceptable/palatable to the general population.

It's been brought up before itt, but the German population weren't innocent bystanders to the rise of Hitler in the 1930s.

a news guy from some more news highlights the fact fascists were always grifters, that none of them acted in good faith, that trumpism is in fact just fascism

That's the scary takeaway. Trump was a surreal nadir when he was elected, but now he's the new standard. Politics (at least American politics, but I can see it happening elsewhere) will never be the same again. it seems almost twee now to look back upon Bush and his gaffs and whatever malice was attributed to him at the time.

And yes - moderate Germans were turning in their neighbours for "suspicious pro-Jewish behaviour" etc. Plenty of ordinary people "just followed orders".

Plenty of people will think it's ridiculous to draw comparisons between what happened then and todays rallies, etc but the rhetoric is eerily similar. I could absolutely believe that people at a Trump rally could be whipped up into committing all sorts of acts.. like imagine if Hillary was spotted in the crowd, for example.

There's me trying to convince my boss that it's going to take several weeks just to complete a proper feasiility study for a new piece of software, yet the FBI can carry out a thorough and complete investigation into Kavs in basically less than a full week. :(

"Thorough"... Yeah, I don't know, I think the verdict's still out on that until we hear more about what they've found. As of two days ago the three victims most notably in the center of this hadn't been questioned. If we can get some more input on that, I'll feel more secure.

But not much more secure, because regardless of any news, the Republicans are gonna force Kavanaugh through anyway.

Maybe he's so guilty it was an open and shut case and the report is just "he did it."

It's amazing how shamelessly rigged the FBI investigation is. Barely any time, not allowed to interview certain people and now this thing with the report.

Can't wait for Fox to talk about how the FBI found nothing while a drunk rapist gets on the SC and declares the cokehead rapist president a god-king.

"Something very big is happening" sounds like something a drunk would-be rapist might whisper into his victims ear.

So I guess it makes sense that the president said it.

I never said it was useful, but when watching this clip I had to make sure it wasn’t one Seth Meyer’s faked press conferences because the question and answer were so disconnected.

Its good that you posted the clip I'm just saying the reporters are wasting their time and every time they're called on they should just stand up and call him a gently caress man or a rapist or a retard.
