Love the Republicans crying about fake news this morning.

From Buzzfeed, the supossed news site that broke the story.

A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors.

Of course CNN jumped all over it.... but claims not to have reported details of the Buzzfeed article, only it's existence and theme.

Yellow journalism at its lowest.

Yellow journalism at its lowest.

Still, it's odd that a lot people will think, "Yeah, I can see trump doing that" and give him the benefit of a doubt.
But at least today, he said he's a 'germaphobe' - so maybe we'll see him holed up in his tower Howard Hughes style?

I can understand Topper's support of trump and the removal of regulations that will help his industry, but I Doc's trolling is getting almost sad at this point. Seriously, Doc- what benefits do you see from a trump presidency?

Hey, I've merely been responding... WITH TRUTH... to lies posted in this thread.

But, since you ask, the answer is that I care about my good buddy America.

Things I like about Donald Trump and him winning the election...

ABC – Anyone But Clinton.

APC – Anti Political Correctness.

AE – Anti Establishment.

EG – Economics Genius.

NG – Negotiation Genius.

TP – True Populist.

Change One Can *TRULY* Believe In!

Not there to earn friends or popularity, wants to leave a legacy of success.

Has a plan to make America great again.

Backbone.

Brutal honesty.

Everything he touches turns to gold.

Calls a spade a spade… especially the biased "fake news" media.

Encourages the downtrodden to, at long last, stand up to liberal fascism.

Melania becomes First Lady.


Anyone But Clinton... should be more than enough though.

Yeah, I've warmed up to Lord Trump a lot over 2016, many people have!

Trump is a but head.

What does that make his supporters?

ABC – Anyone But Clinton. (a good reason to vote Sanders, not trump)

APC – Anti Political Correctness. (valid point - but within limits, which your guy doesn't understand)

AE – Anti Establishment. (that remains to be seen - he may talk like an outsider, but he's caving on all the popular talking points that his followers loved)

EG – Economics Genius. (not that we know of - will his tax returns make us realize he 'does' know what he's doing, or show that he's all talk? - Branding genius, maybe - hires good tax lawyers, sure - he does not strike me as a smart person, so I'm not going to agree to 'genius' anything)

NG – Negotiation Genius. (It's easy to negotiate a golf course, you either bully the other side until they cave in, or you walk away and do it somewhere else. International politics involves more grey area - trump doesn't understand compromising or true negotiating)

TP – True Populist. (ummm... ok...until the narcissistic billionaire actually does something for the common man, I'll wait on this one...maybe his foundation can buy some paintings of trump to hang in public spaces?)

Change One Can *TRULY* Believe In! (if the change is a complete dumbing down of a country, I'll believe that will happen)

Not there to earn friends or popularity, wants to leave a legacy of success. (Not there to make friends, but connections. If by success, you mean making him and his family richer, then you are correct)

Has a plan to make America great again. (and here I was thinking you weren't easily swayed by propaganda)

Backbone. (combined with thin skin is a great combination)

Brutal honesty. (other than falling back on his campaign promises.... not paying his contractors... can you tell me where he's been honest in anything that matters?)

Everything he touches turns to gold. (Even his showers - sorry, had to go there - but yes, his casinos were gold, then shuttered)

Calls a spade a spade… especially the biased "fake news" media. (promotes false stories - birtherism - when it suits him)

Encourages the downtrodden to, at long last, stand up to liberal fascism. (Liberal fascism? Yes - the liberals are really destroying the white man - thank god the klan is back!)

Melania becomes First Lady. (as long as she continues to copy Michelle, there's hope)

I'm not sure, but we seem to be talking about 2 different people.

You see a successful leader of the common man. I see a narcissistic rich asshole who has never cared about anyone but himself.

You are basing your hope on what he has said to his adoring crowds over the past year. I'm basing my disgust worries on what I know about the person and his background.

I predict it will be a good 2 years for rich people, large corporations and defense contractors - just like it was under Obama.

Folks still believe trump sexually assaulted women.

But seriously... LINK

The earliest accusation of sexual misconduct against Trump came from his ex-wife Ivana, who, during a divorce deposition in 1990, described being violently raped. (Later, without retracting her story, Ivana said that she didn’t mean the word in a “literal or criminal” sense.)

1996 deposition in the case of Jill Harth, who had worked with Trump on a beauty pageant in Atlantic City, and alleged that Trump had groped her under the table at a business dinner.

In the same piece, Temple Taggart McDowell, a former Miss Utah, described being kissed, inappropriately, on the mouth.

etc etc.... yeah, the guy's a fuckin' angel.

Who's the fascist? The Donald is scoring pretty high...

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections- Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
