"Mate", I am well versed in "Germany of the 1920s" as my entire family in Lithuania was ended by that regime. Trump is nothing like what you compare him to, and as you must know, in the 1920s, that German party was full of Socialists headed by Ernst Röhm, the SA looks more like the American far-left than the far right. You are incorrect.

When has it not been?

@unprivatizedemocray "Not Rich", Fortune Magazine, which does not like him, has him listed as a Billionaire, although being president knocked him down a peg. You are incorrect. Trump Tower in Manhattan is very successful, and the architect was a woman, Trump hired the first woman to build a skyscraper in Manhattan, another counter to your deceitful narrative.

Hack for sure, but she did push back on him a bit, I liked that. She spoke the truth, most folks are burnt out on this sort of heated rhetoric and turning off, and Rick Wilson is one of the reasons why.

WOW, if you are in the EU and UK watching this, Rick Wilson is delusional, and self-contradictory in his statements. His projection of a 2022 congressional win by GOP and immediate "impeachment" hearings is taken directly out of the Democratic playbook against Trump in 2016. It is often said Hillary Clinton lost 2016 because of the leftist Green Party and Jill Stein. The Lincoln Project is aimed at being the same counter-weight in coming elections, and most likely motivated by "globalists" who see Trump and the "deplorables" as counter to their agenda. We in America love to bicker, and no where near all out violent civil conflict at scale. Nonsense.

@nobs997 I would not argue with that. There's no way for anyone of us to know others when it's difficult enough to know ourselves. I can see "acts", and that's all any of us can truly judge on. Trump is a liar, no question, but he also condemned 1/6 and asked them to "stand-down". Considering the lies told about him for 5 years, I give him credit for not "acting" out his bitterness and frustration.

@peterfromgw4615 "Mate", I was born in 1955 and had a draft number, both my older brothers served, and I was an activist involved in demonstrations against Nixon, one of my closets friends fought in the illegal war in Cambodia. Trump does not have any deep ideological foundation, he is a creature of Post-Modernism and the corporate media that now condemns him. National Socialism was "Collectivism", the total anti-thesis of American Liberalism based on the inalienable rights of the individual, however flawed it's been in action, that nature has to parallel to what happened to Germany in the 1920s. I despair in America, but have no fear of Trump following the path of "Blut und Boden", he lacks certain attributes for that level of organization, you said so yourself.

As an American, I agree, but we've rarely had that from either party. Disengagement in some areas would be good, fuller engagement is other areas also good, striking a competent balance is the goal. I'm a Dem in California and thought Pompeo better than Sullivan, who came from the Hillary camp. I did not vote for her in 2016, nor Trump, she is not competent, and would be a danger to the world, as she proved in Libya.

@unprivatizedemocray Sounds like "dancing about architecture", LOL

@unprivatizedemocray "Never Use Your Own Money". This is a tried and true adage in business. "If" is not correct, again, Forbes lists him as a Billionaire. Is Forbes lying?
1
@unprivatizedemocray Yes, Forbes owns quite a lot of data, that's their business, just like Bloomberg, who also rates Trump a Billionaire.

@yurigansmith He was correct about Syria, he was correct about Afghanistan, he was correct about China, and correct about Russia, NATO and the EU. We were doing much better under Pompeo than what we have now. "Unpredictable" is a good thing in geopolitics, and has been for a very long time, read up on it.

@ClosedProductions You mean "Atlanta"?

@ClosedProductions Yes. "March to the Sea"

No, America is vast geographically and the issues presented here do not affect the majority, this is nonsense. 1/6 was a handful of crazies, not a vast movement, and certainly not controlled by Trump who told them to "stand down".
1
@nothereandthereanywhere "Willing"? Trump is a symptom, not a cause, he took advantage of a weakness by the name of Hillary Clinton, who indeed divided us by using the term "deplorables" and stating in 1998 there was a "vast right ring conspiracy" against her and her husband. It started there.

@zalpman Spoken like a true Steven Pinkeran.
