The events in Chicago made me realize although Trump's leading the band, he's not in COMPLETE control, and this is all a gag to him anyways. <br /><br />Trump gins up the bigots and cranks, they get too difficult control, or he does something that isn'r "pure", and look out. Trump jets off to Mar-a-Lago, cause who cares,and then what?DonPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561984994256010877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-65384547230073508882016-03-13T07:23:22.813-05:002016-03-13T07:23:22.813-05:00@Donald Walsh I posted a similar sentiment yesterd...@Donald Walsh I posted a similar sentiment yesterday, using the context of reality shows, which Trump has also been involved with. Don't you find it interesting that the violence at his rallies has escalated as the media have piled on Trump this week and Cruz is gaining "traction"? <br /><br />And to be honest, I don't know which is scarier - protesters really being manhandled or people hired to be protesters manhandled by people hired to be manhandlers. Neither scenario bodes well for the country.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141640791663745884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-88730322979197954612016-03-12T17:51:03.497-06:002016-03-12T17:51:03.497-06:00Been reading Richard Evans' trilogy to see how...Been reading Richard Evans' trilogy to see how the original fascists did it in the 30's. The parallels are no longer amusing. Trump and his supporters are are advancing fascism step by step exactly as it was done then. The scary shit is in reading the second volume when the Nazis actually gained control of the government. The first chapter of the second volume starts with how the Nazis established a police state. That was their first priority. All the racial ideology actions followed later. Their first victims were the Communists and the SPD. And so it will be with Trump. These authoritarians have always been a cancer on the nation. It just that now we see it metastasizing.

Yep. To...<i>Stop trying to reason with these people.</i><br /><br />Yep. To paraphrase a certain movie: They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, they don't feel pity or remorse.<br /><br />Funny how up until Friday night everyone was unloading salvos at Hillary for her statement about Nancy Reagan (which Hillary did apologize for--when did we ever see a politician do that?). But thanks to Trump's thugs and the fracas in Chicago, well...<br /><br />Put it this way--whatever your thoughts are about Hillary, never, EVER forget that the real danger is over on the GOP side, especially in regards to the current GOP Presidential candidates.Marc McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055850066263788781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-61275605446291681322016-03-12T17:24:00.038-06:002016-03-12T17:24:00.038-06:00Everybody is taking these events at face value. Ho...Everybody is taking these events at face value. How many know that Trump had an association with WWE back in the 90's? http://www.wwe.com/superstars/donald-trump Does any of this look like the staged fights between fans of the wrestlers in the ring that used to happen all the time? Seem impossible? Remember that Trump hired actors to attend his speech announcing his run for the presidency. How hard is it to imagine him hiring "protesters" to be the target of violence, to keep him in the headlines? http://www.wwe.com/superstars/donald-trump Brad in Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823123535800923865noreply@blogger.com
