Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

Donald Trump directs the DOJ to conduct an opened ended investigation into ActBlue, the main fundraising platform for Democratic candidates:

President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum Thursday aimed at investigating ActBlue, the leading Democratic fundraising platform.

The memorandum directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make 'straw' or 'dummy' contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take appropriate action to enforce the law."

Trump takes executive action targeting ActBlue, the main Democratic fundraising platform

ActBlue is widely considered one of the pillars of the Democratic Party’s digital ecosystem.

So far she is just investigating. And if she does uncover fraud and abuse, yes I do hope she goes after them just exactly like I know the Democrats would do for the Republicans. Corruption is corruption and we are all better off without any of it.

 

[RVonse]

For everyone else who thinks that Trump is Hitler.

What about the negotiations between Putin and Ukraine? Would you say Trump is just agreeing with Putin or is he trying to keep his word getting out of war? Maybe even trying to save on military dollars? Trump seems to be the first person in history being accused of being both Neville Chamberlain AND Hitler at the same time. How do you reconcile this?

What about Trump's comments about Canada, Greenland, Panama, or a possible 3rd term? Do you consider that to be Trump the Hitler dictator or Trump the troll? These are more gray area's IMO but Im pretty sure most will think otherwise.

It is illegal to investigate without probable cause, and it is also illegal for the president to tell the DOJ to start an investigation. But of course, Donald Trump being a dictator, the law is irrelevant.

If you haven’t realized by now that Trump just says stuff without thinking, rational discussion is impossible. Trump is a classic bully which is why he is favoring Russia at this time because he has neither the nerve or brains to deal with a strong adversary, and he can push Ukraine around.

It is Trump the delusional narcissistic asshole.

He is not literally Hitler. He is an authoritarian strongman in a fascist style. He has done some things Hitler did in the 1930s but of course not all. He is following a classic playbook to undermine democracy and turn the government into a dictatorship. Victor Orban and Hugo Chavez followed similar paths to consolidate their power.

And what's this nonsense about saving dollars? The GOP defense budget that is in the works is currently calling for ~ 15%/$150 billion increase. I thought the idea of getting Europe to pay for more defense meant the US can cut back? Just more lies the MAGA rubes fell for.

Obama must have been a conservative.

Anwar al-Awlaki - Wikipedia

Killing of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

AaA was an enemy combatant who was, being in Yemen, beyond the reach of US law and its due process. No different that killing a US citizen of German descent who decided to join the Wehrmacht in WWII.
His son was not a target. He just had the bad luck (and judgment) to hang out with some Al Qaeda targets. Lie with dogs, wake up with fleas. Lie with terrorists, wake up with a Hellfire missile.

You're defending a muslim terrorist now to take a shot at Obama.

How the worm has turned.

What have the Russians given up in return for peace? It's been all Ukraine must give up this or that. Russia gives up nothing.

The Art Of The Deal sucks ass.

Really? The dodgiest thing Trump has done so far is shipping gangbangers to El Salvador. I don’t see a dictatorship. I will say I am never happy about a presidents use of executive orders. This is bullshit and needs to be stopped.

The increase is probably due to having to match the Chinese who are becoming increasingly threatening. Plus the shit load of military hardware and support shipped to Ukraine.

What Allies in WW2 have given up in return for peace? It's been all Germany, Allies had given up nothing.

Exactly. It takes zero skill to offer an unconditional surrender and/or give in to all of an enemy's demands. Trump is as incompetent at negotiation as he is at ... reading books. Now you understand ZiperHead's comment too.

 

[Jarhyn]

There was a secret memo to ICE from the White House to enter places without warrants on mere suspicion.

This is specifically against the constitution. It's a specifically stated thing in the Constitution that the government may never do this.

@RVonse, it is NOT reasonable at this point to continue stumping for this guy. The writing is on the wall here, Trump is a fascist dictator. This is one of the reasons the Brits were overthrown in the US.

Continuing to support him means you know this and you don't care.

You're right.

Putin is Hitler. Zelensky is Edvard Beneš.

Trump is Neville Chamberlain...

Yeah, US/USSR should have given Germany Hitler better deal.

You should give the idiot who taught you English a slap in the face for failing to teach you reading comprehension.

What?
it's you who has no reading comprehension.
Let me repeat again. Since when the side which is winning has to surrender?

Never! Nobody thinks Russia should "surrender." That is clearly part of your reading comprehension fail. Go slap that person who taught you English. The point is that Trump is a shitty negotiator, deal maker and leader. He is trying to claim victory with his amazing peace deal in which he has basically just given Russia ALL of her war demands. That isn't a victory. Trump isn't asking for ANY concessions from Russia. It's a farce of a deal.

 

[barbos]

Well, EU certainly think that.

Don't really care one way or the other.

Well, he can't be asking anything, becasue US/EU/NATO lost.

Then why did you comment on a post that was entirely on that one subject? Go slap the person who taught you English.
