I’ve never ever seen this show, but from the article and comments it sounds like these two are supporting characters. True?

Not saying “there’s nothing to see here” except in the narrow context of Trump, and by extension the State, as being Nazi-like. Anyway, although we likely have some irreconcilable differences of opinion on some issues (or maybe not), I appreciate the civility.

Here’s that scenario in the extreme. I remind my kid of this case often - don’t mess with other people’s shit.

I’m talking specifically about the exercising of government power as codified by EO, regulation, rule, or legislation. I fully acknowledge Trump is a (insert preferred pejorative here). I’m very uncomfortable with any President trying to intimidate the press (and Trump certainly isn’t the first to do this, just the…

Trump the Tweeter is embarrassing and a stain on the prestige of the Presidency, true. But the actual actions and policies of the Administration? People may not agree with what they’re doing or how they’re doing it, but nothing is occurring that is outside the norm of standard US governmental behavior and authority.…

You’re right, there are stronger ways to make that comparison/contrast, most of which I would hope are self-evident if someone has passed 8th grade. The fact that so many here and elsewhere believe we are literally on the cusp of a Fourth Reich is frustrating and saddening. And it is infuriating that there are those…

Thanks for covering this, not seeing much elsewhere, and what I have seen is pretty lightweight.

Does the US have an Article 48, or an Enabling Act? Do you think Trump will arrest his political opposition, merely because they’re the opposition? Will he disenfranchise citizens? Bar them from attending school? Make them change their first names? Let me know when the Trump Administration does anything remotely…

The pro-open borders faction has been very successful in conflating opposition to illegal immigration (which is a rational position even if you don’t agree with it) with opposition to all immigrants. Yes there are plenty of dickheads who don’t want brown-skinned foreigners hanging around, but there is no significant…

What’s the problem?

And you know who else used a pen and phone to enforce his will, right? Chill with the Nazi comparisons.

But comparing ICE, an agency enforcing laws drafted by elected representatives, signed by an elected President, and upheld by the judiciary, to Nazis who likely raped, starved, and/or experimented on most of the women and children in that picture before gassing them is a non-shitty argument?

This the correct, but unpopular, take. I mean I’m not particularly sympathetic to their plight, but every other Federal government employee, if required to be away from their home on business, receives a per diem to cover food, lodging and incidentals (in DC, depending on the time of year, this ranges from $240-$300 a…

Could you be any less self-aware?

What party are you talking about?

Which piece of scripture says “Thou shalt sow, and reap, and deliver what you have sown and reaped unto a giant inefficient bureaucracy, so that it may shave off 45% in administrative costs and interest payments before giving the collective bounty to the poor, defense contractors, and preferred corporations and…

Shuddup with the factual anti-narrative. The SCOTUS just voted to allow Fred Phelps to burn lesbians and witches with federally procured wood.

Gawd, Trump needs to stop talking before thinking. The correct insult is Fauxcahontas.

So media site, needing to generate revenue, posts salacious photos to criticize other media for using salacious photos to generate revenue? It worked, I clicked. Take my $0.001.

How fucking dramatic.
