  2. ?¿? WHAT ?¿?! "Putin is an effective leader" ?¿? The key word here is "effective." What do you mean by effective? Effective because Putin puts his narrow interests first, consequences to his country be damned? If that's how you define effective Al Capone was an effective leader.

  3. +Ann Riba Since that got your attention this might interest you as well, the Friday Report Ryssdal referred to in the other podcast. http://www.marketplace.org/2016/05/06/economy/weekly-wrap/weekly-wrap-finding-silver-lining-jobs-report (pertinent part begins at about halfway). What becomes immediately apparent is that Trump has no idea what he's talking about, and what he's talking about here is economics, exactly that area where "successful businessman" should be at his best. No, Donald. You cannot tinker with fundamental economic principles, not any more than you can tinker with the law of gravity. Yes, Donald. You might believe that things'll happen just because you say they will, but that's only the mega-narcissism talking.

"He makes me look bad. I hate him." 3) President Trump: struggles to put a sentence together. "I talk better than The President of The United States. I like him."

  16. Seems the attitude's one of, "If how he wants to go about it is unconstitutional, so what? Damned thing just gets in the way what we wanna do. Besides, our nation's situation's too dire for politically correct niceties. We'll shelve it for awhile. It can be done. The shelving'll be a temporary measure, okay? You know. Same way Donald said the Muslim ban would be temporary. This gives me an idea. I think we should ban the whole US Constitution until we can figure out what the hell is going on."

  30. It troubles me, the number of posters who attack Ezra Klein not for what he says, but for his ethnicity problem. My response begins with a verbatim quote from Jette Elkan: "So wie sie es mit uns machen, so werden sie es später auch mit euch machen!" Who was Jette Elkan, and what was she saying? Translation: "As they [Nazis] do with us, so later will they also do with you!" Why do these words from the 1930s matter to me? Frau Elkan was a Jewish resident of Raesfeld, Germany, the town where my mother lived. Frau Elkan played the role of "canary in the coal mine," warning others of dangers to come. Her prediction became reality. Has it occurred to any of the critics that maybe, just maybe, Ezra Klein is trying alert us as Jette Elkan tried to do?

  32. +Scowler The plantation owners knew workers would be replaced by machines within the decade. Yeah, right. Well, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, "Slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears. You might not like it, but you dare not let go." So replace the slaves with machines. What happens with millions of destitute slaves? People who've been abused horrible for decades? They might be pissed off. Ah. I know. The plantation owners would have found a solution in a little out-of-the-way place called Auschwitz, Mississippi.

  39. +Ty'Reeze Rainbow-Dash Let me explain something, Rainbow. Hillary Clinton would love to fuck you in the ass. However, Hillary is a woman. She lacks a penis. Therefore she refrains from making promises she cannot keep. It's not that she's being dishonest about the matter, it's just that she cannot deliver on what is for her an anatomical impossibility.

  40. "American politics" doesn't cast the net wide enough. The Philippines have a head start on us with Rodrigo Duterte, a president who regularly spouts disgusting stuff. He's referred to as "The Filipino Donald Trump." Maybe Trump is responsible for introducing a new age of general barbarism.

  53. +Hellfire 661 Well, then. All Americans are simply bastards, aren't they? I can tell that you're particularly nostalgic about slavery. Slavery, the institution that distinguished the south from the rest of the nation. Damn shame the confederates lost, because with that loss slaveholders lost the right to treat humans like animals, as God intended. And truly I have no idea, Mr. Englishman. Grew up in an Antebellum slave state; grew up during the Civil Rights era, saw segregation and racial hatred first hand... But WTF? If you had any idea you'd find yourself different avatar.

  55. +Alice Butter Our British pal is some character, what? Stated quite emphatically that I've never done anything to support freedom. I reveal that I'm a vet. No acknowledgment, however grudging that, well... Maybe I have done something, at least once. Then our chap informs that I'm a white supremacist. I reveal that I have non-white children. What comes back? "Yea, sure, whatever." Let's not kid ourselves. We all know what this means. I'm a liar. Where have we met similar condescension? Never apologize, never back down. In fact, when confronted double down. Seems Trump's filth has caught on on the other side of the Atlantic.

  56. +Hellfire 661 I meant it sincerely when I wrote "closing words" but, my God, you drop so many deliciously-tempting whoppers can't resist responding. Might as well face it. You are trapped. And so am I. We both wanna get in the last word, equivalent to "Last Man Standing." Neither of us wants to abandon the field. But you know... Your criticism of me applies equally to you. You could walk away from this any time. You announced your intention to do so, as did I. Yet here we are just the same. Letting go's gonna be tough considering the mother lode of fallacies you hold dear. I recognized that persuasion was impossible long ago. Might be occupied till election day pointing out that this or that just ain't so. For example, I gave benefit of the doubt. "He's a Brit. Maybe he doesn't know how offensive the confederate flag is." But you made clear that you do know, know exactly; seem even to relish the flag's provocativeness. Wouldn't have established this without pursuing it. Until next time.

  67. Look for the narcissist. The most obvious target in today's lineup is, of course, Donald Trump. When he looks at a glass, he is mesmerized by its reflection. If Donald Trump were shaped a little differently, he would compete for Miss America. But whatever the depths of self-enchantment, the demagogue has to say something. So what does Trump say? That he is a successful businessman and that that is what America needs in the Oval office. There is some plausibility in this, though not much. The greatest deeds of American Presidents--midwifing the new republic; freeing the slaves; harnessing the energies and vision needed to win the Cold War--had little to do with the bottom line. Essay William F. Buckley wrote for Cigar Aficionado in 2000. http://www.redstate.com/jaycaruso/2016/07/24/16-years-ago-william-f.-buckley-wrote-donald-trump-eerily-accurate/ "16 Years Ago, William F.

  100. +Bret H I admire Mr. Klein. He must have known. Somebody must have warned him that he'd be opening himself up for vicious and unwarranted attack. And for what? For doing us the favor of warning us what might happen. But he went ahead anyway, went ahead because he believes that his message is more important than the hatred he would endure. To go ahead with eyes wide open... That takes bravery. That takes courage. Probably more than I have. I know that you do not want to do anything remotely positive for Mr. Klein. Even so, do not do Mr. Klein the favor of giving him the opportunity to come back, after it's too late, and say, "Told ya."

You're not deliberately misquoting, certainly not the same way you're so fond of accusing the liberal scumbag media of doing, are you? And by the way, bread lines were a good thing during the Great Depression. It was either that or starve. I suspect that's an important detail you may have conveniently forgotten.

  112. Yes, I think I'm beginning to understand. I've been watching the traffic flow for a while and a picture has emerged. Trumpets have a lurid fascination with 1) misogyny and 2) testicles. "Ezra Klein is feminine" and "We need a leader with balls," the most-loved broken records in the Comments area. There's lots of speculation these days that Trumpets are gonna rip the Republican Party in two; form a new political party. Wonder what they're gonna call themselves? Got it! The Bitches 'N' Balls Party! Waitin' for the usual filth. Come on, Trumpets. I know you won't disappoint.

He rightly condemns Trump's closed-border proposal, rightly because this would be inconsistent with constitutional democracy. You see gross misrepresentation, I see balance.

Therefore I'm resigning and appointing Hillary Clinton as my successor. She's much better qualified for the office than I can ever hope to be anyway."

  142. Oh, great. Now Trump's saying Trumpets will riot if he doesn't get the nomination. But he doesn't encourage violence. Oh, no. Not him. What's next? "If I don't get elected I'll stage a coup." He might as well go ahead and issue this threat now. His popularity'll only go up.

Klein concludes this video with the words (4:29), "There's something dangerous to Trump's rise. It isn't funny. We need to stop laughing. It's something we should fear." What's particularly striking is the hypocrisy. Trump supporters get highly offended over less-than-flattering observations, defending their idol with charges of bias or, a favorite, "out of context!" Not only does this particular poster mislead with out-of-context extracts, this poster practices blatant censorship, in my opinion revealing an undemocratic mindset. So thank you, Google Chrome Icon. Tremendous job giving us a preview the free flow of ideas Donald Trump will tolerate.

  204. After the build-up, the punch line. The punch line of this video: "Trump is a demagogue." But you're not getting it. Vox went about it wrong. They should have first prepped the audience by explaining what demagoguery is. Americans have a demagogic tradition. Father Coughlin, Senator McCarthy and Governor Wallace practiced it. Vox could have laid bare demagogic tropes. The savior incites the crowd. He seduces with easy answers, and hints that someone will reap well-deserved hurt. The mob roars its approval. Donald Trump's campaign style merges comfortably with this tradition. For proof review what he has said. Vox provides examples. But then again, an educational video about demagoguery, especially one produced by Vox, would probably bounce off Trump supporters: "Just more propaganda from biased, libtard media."
