How many of you understand the USA just elected a (potentially) brutal dictator?

[jmdrake]

Great video. Tweeted and FB'd it.

That would be a great campaign slogan if he runs for another term.
"Trump 2020, not a dictator"

"Trump 2020, not "really" a dictator"

 

[AZJoe]

 

[scm]

That could be said about most of the presidential candidates.

This one openly brags about it.

 

[scm]

Thats an extremely short list of his negatives.

How True. Dictator Obama's list of power-mongering negatives over the past eight years would take an encyclopedia, but twitter only allows 140 characters. Thanks Obama and his totalitarian loving blind supporters, you put all this in place for Trump.

You dont get it. this is a rebuke of Obama supporters who gave Obama all these powers. It is trying to remind them why you can not just let the person you like have more power, because eventually, the balance of power switches.

You don't get it. THUMP has ALREADY said he's in FAVOR OF ALL THESE THINGS PLUS WORSE

Nationwide "Stop and Frisk".

Given that we're already subject to nationwide paramilitary home invasion (AKA SWAT raids) which happen at a clip of about 80k/year... my fear switch fails to trigger on that. Especially since it's not going to happen.

It's you who don't get it. Trump is not to be taken literally. Watch what he does, not what he says.

LOL Another cycle of hope and change. Ask an obama supporter how that worked out.

Obama had the full support of the establishment behind him. Trump has the full force of the establishment against him.

And that is why, more than anything, I support them. If he has all these tyrants aligned against him, he must be doing something right.

Member when Obama supporters blamed Iraq, Gitmo torture and drone programs on Bush? I member.

Ooooo, I 'member, too.

 

[ChaosControl]

Nah, they elected a loud mouthed thin skinned oompa loompa. He will just be a puppet to his advisors since he is clueless. That means a generic neocon presidency. Realistically probably similar to Bush except in presentation.

 

[Murray N Rothbard]

I do.

His statements toward "libel laws" and the media, and his wife's statements about "online bullying" are among the more concerning things imo.

Which O-Bomb-Ya was not too far from either.

You are most likely correct.

I'll still take it over Hillary.

Not Ron, not Rand...just better than the alternative.

 

[pcosmar]

..just better than the alternative.

that is my hope (stretched real thin)

I remember both Reagan and Bush saying some good stuff.

imagine my disappointment.

 

[tod evans]

Ya' know.....One thing Trump has actually done at this point is get the leftist enclaves buzzing like kicked hornets nests...

Whether it was intentional or not it's something he did before even taking office..

Nationwide "Stop and Frisk".

He was speaking to a criminal justice issue not 2A issue imo. I don't agree with stop and frisk, but really this is more like an illegal search and seizure issue which would be 4A, not 2A.

You know Trump is ardently anti-2nd Amendment. Right?

Doesn't sound like it to me... I suppose you could just call him a liar as an argument. Not much I can say to you if you think all this is just bullshit and he really plans on duping the pissed off masses that he rallied. He'd be the first to hang if his conspiracy to trick the NRA and the rest of gun owner was successful. I think he knows that..

“Well, I'm a big Second Amendment person, big, as you probably know,” said Trump.

“If you had more guns, you'd have more protection because the right people would have the guns,” he said.

“Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like 'assault weapons', 'military-style weapons' and 'high capacity magazines' to confuse people,” Trump wrote Friday.
