Well, there you go. Again.

I stand behind the post and let it go as that.

You ask a question which seeks no knowledge or understanding, and doesn’t make a point. You just want to hear yourself talk.

Why don’t you say something or ask something in which someone or the other of us grows or learns?

Instead you ply these bullshit questions which don’t even deserve an answer just to be amazed by yourself, amazed to hear your own voice.

I wasn’t amazed.

Looking in the mirror again, twardy.


Always with the wiseass remark hiding the fact you have nothing to say.

You can’t get through life just be being a smart mouth; eventually you have to have something to say.

I hope I live long enough to find out what Russia has on cadet bone head spurs.


I find the Steele Dossier completely convincing.

Remember, Putin came from Russian intelligence, and running agents was his speciality. Now he runs trump and the USA.

As long as trump is president, the USA is a Russian Satellite in foreign policy, and accepting Russian aggression is the final proof if more proof is necessary.

"Why Is Trump Spouting Russian Propaganda?


The president’s endorsement of the U.S.S.R.’s invasion of Afghanistan echoes a narrative promoted by Vladimir Putin.


Putin-style glorification of the Soviet regime is entering the mind of the president, inspiring his words and—who knows—perhaps shaping his actions. How that propaganda is reaching him—by which channels, via which persons—seems an important if not urgent question. But maybe what happened yesterday does not raise questions. Maybe it inadvertently reveals answers."

Trump has sold the nation out to Putin, and takes Putin’s orders. It is clear as anything—he follows Putin at every opportunity.

Putin has taken this country over by fiat, by a quiet, corrupt election, and the Republican Party marches in quickstep behind Trump as ordered, and trump himself follow every direction completely.

We live in the United States of Vladimir Putin!

You leave out the fact that she’s an excellent speaker!

DOW's performance in 2018 is the worst since 2008. Virtually all sentient beings understand the main causes are the trade war, the uncertainty over the future of the trump presidency, and trump's simple-minded incompetence. Perhaps you consider these factors "glitches"; that's how trump referred to the recent drops in the DOW.


Excellent Post!

......funny how we elect a new progressive Democrat House and the DOW drops 11%!

Add in an ancient “new” speaker of the house today and the Dow drops 625 points!

True that naming oneself "x" is not proof of one actually BEING 'x' but the NAZI's were about 85% left leaning by today's standards. I've linked to it once already in this thread, but I did a relatively in-depth analysis of the actual 25-point platform of the NAZI party. Feel free to disagree with my analysis, but I don't see a lot of room for debate in the bold text areas.

I find the analysis of left/right unconvincing. I also note that generally, Naziism is considered scholars as right wing.

See this from Wikipedia:

Nazism is a form of fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system, but also incorporated fervent antisemitism, scientific racism, and eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism came from Pan-Germanism and the Völkisch movement prominent in the German nationalism of the time, and it was strongly influenced by the anti-Communist Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's "cult of violence" which was "at the heart of the movement."[2]

Nazism subscribed to theories of racial hierarchy and Social Darwinism, identifying the Germans as a part of what the Nazis regarded as an Aryan or Nordic master race.[3] It aimed to overcome social divisions and create a German homogeneous society based on racial purity which represented a people's community (Volksgemeinschaft). The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans living in historically German territory, as well as gain additional lands for German expansion under the doctrine of Lebensraum and exclude those who they deemed either community aliens or "inferior" races.

(Snip)

The majority of scholars identify Nazism in both theory and practice as a form of far-right politics.[14] Far-right themes in Nazism include the argument that superior people have a right to dominate other people and purge society of supposed inferior elements.[15] Adolf Hitler and other proponents denied that Nazism was either left-wing or right-wing, instead they officially portrayed Nazism as a syncretic movement.[16][17] In Mein Kampf, Hitler directly attacked both left-wing and right-wing politics in Germany....

After all this time, 88% of Republicans still support Trump. Trump likes to cozy up to dictators, and spurn elected leaders. Totalitarian tendencies.

Seems to me, they are losing themselves.


Here it is in a nutshell. Young people are not flocking to Republican Party. They aren’t flocking to the Democratic Party in great numbers, but voting democrat is still a viable option.

Big growth is those who vote Independent, as you can see.

If Mueller produces something of a scandal in his report—I can hardly see how he can fail to—it could be a death blow to the party, or as least seriously, seriously damage it for some time.

I agree with this part. It was a perfect storm. But one has to add in the general discontent with politics as usual and the increasing ineptness of both parties. People wanted a change as the only change Obama brought was he was the first half black president.

Many evangelicals couldn't stomach Clintons pro abortion stance so that's why they voted for Trump.


The people who wanted a change were republicans, the tea party types. Obama drew Huge crowds.

The young are moving away from republicans, and the party may not exist long enough for them to grow up—assuming that would tend them toward the republican side.

If Mueller’s report is bad enough, it could be fatal.

Sorry, Lww but Trump won because of a perfect storm.
Hillary wasn't well liked but still managed to win the popular vote.
Adding to her problems was Bernie Sanders who took votes from the Democrats and put Trump over the top.
Then, of course, there were the voter suppression tactics that the GOP is still using to this day.
The fact that Trump is a liar, dishonest and has low moral character was only exacerbated by the GOP and the Evangelicals forfeiting their high ground to support this miscreant based solely on his ability to appoint anti-choice judges and ignoring is lack of morality and values.
I truly believe that what you saw in the Midterms will repeat again in 2019 and 2020 unless someone in the GOP finds their voice and comes out against Trump.
Trump is a typical case of "The Emporer Has No Clothes".

Hillary had an 85% chance if winning; that is strong, but it ain’t a lock, and trump found out.
