Of course it isn’t. It’s about maintaining a level of fear so that people don’t actually do something intelligent like think about what they are going to do when the jobs Trump promised them fail to materialize or that the GOP’s ideas have failed every time they’ve been brought up for the last thirty years. Heck, they don’t want you looking at how the GOP ideas caused Kansas to pretty much crash and burn.

I am going to paraphrase Dana Houle when I say that I never underestimated the depth of the racial animus and bigoted instincts of Trump’s followers, but I heavily underestimated the good will of many of my fellow citizens in resisting it.

I have this vision of the guy looking at WWII history and thinking: “Had Hitler done this and this instead, he could have won. We won’t make that mistake, by golly.”

It was on yer boy St. Ronald’s watch that the apology and reparations were paid to Japanese AMERICANS.

Fascism is already here. Waving a confederate flag, carrying a bible AND wearing red hats.

Honest to Christ. You take one of the WORST acts this country ever did and you use it as PRECEDENT? What kind of fking uneducated ignorant bottom feeder ARE you? No. And if you TRY this time we will stop you. You do not have a ‘mandate’ to take this country to it’s knees.

“The former Navy SEAL said that though the majority of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are “perfectly good people,” “a small percentage” of them have aligned themselves with an extremist ideology.”
Then where is the registry proposals to protect us against middle aged white men who own multiple guns? The logic could not be more clear.

OK, as I posted yesterday…when the forced registry due to one’s religion gets set up I want in Sign me up as a Muslim-AMERICAN. Not that I believe in ANY religion…which happens to be nobody’s goddam business anyway. I hate bigotry and so I’ll stand with my Muslim brethren:
When it is illegal to practice a religion then truly the Bill of Rights is dead

Well I’m the Democrats on the Hill would ask these questions that you pose if 1) there was a transition person in place at the State Dept., 2) the transition person at the State Dept. knew how to get there, and 3) if they ask the correct person on a Monday would the instructions from on high be the same as what they are told on Thursday.
The simple trick to keeping organized is to create To Do Lists.

But wouldn’t the first step be to define, as you have laid out, what is the reality? It’s that whole “you’re welcome to your opinion but not your own facts” argument.

The most ghoulish thing which makes me gasp in horror is the ORDINARINESS of Brian Williams calmly announcing the selection of a man like Flynn as Trump’s National Security Advisor.
He will probably do the same thing with the Interment Camps
He will probably do the same thing with the Abolition of Net Neutrality

This is the one that gets me, they have and created the “experiment” for their economic ideals and it’s bad. Why hasn’t this question been raised with each and every Republican on the Hill?

And the douchbag just smiled when Kelly called him out on the fascist idea of re-establishing internment camps in this country.
Normalizing one of the very darkest chapters in American history as “precedent.” This is beyond sick. These people are nuts.
Given what we’re seeing of Trump’s fumbling during the “transition,” I predict terrifying chaos and horrifying abuses of civil and constitutional rights by countless rogue elements in the administration like this lizard. The only thing worse will be when they get things “organized.”

Carlo Dalla Chiesa was cited as having rejected the use of torture in Italy in response to the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, the former prime minister killed by the Red Brigades in 1978. In response to a suggestion that torture be used in the investigation, Dalla Chiesa stated, “Italy can survive the loss of Aldo Moro. It would not survive the introduction of torture.”
