&lt;i&gt;Regardless, Victoria said that Donald Trump &quot;routinely&quot; brags about it... &lt;/i&gt;

He routinely brags about his exploits with women including his peeping into the dressing rooms of underage girls when he owned Miss Teen USA, part of the Miss Universe pageants brand. If you&#039;re denying that, no one here is surprised.

&lt;i&gt;He said something about it ONCE.. &lt;/i&gt;

Wrong. Your ignorance regarding the issue is your problem and no one else&#039;s.

&lt;i&gt;And, what Donald Trump DID say that one time is that women are so shallow and superficial that, when yer rich, they LET you grab them by the pussy.. &lt;/i&gt;

Trump said nothing whatsoever about women being &quot;shallow and superficial&quot; or his being rich in that example of his regularly bragging about his exploits with women. I would wager no one here is the least bit surprised you&#039;ve got an excuse for Trump wherein it&#039;s the women&#039;s fault Trump just can&#039;t help himself. 

I cannot help you if you believe Trump hasn&#039;t regularly bragged about his exploits with women and continues unabated to this day. You are obviously deep in denial and living so far up Trump&#039;s ass you can see Sean Hannity.</description>

&lt;i&gt;I mean, honestly.. As far as business activities goes, does ANYONE here honestly believe that Billionaire Donald Trump is MORE guilty of nefarious things than Billionaire Jeff Bezos?? Or Billionaire Warren Buffett?? Or Billionaire Tom Steyer??? &lt;/i&gt;

Nah. I don&#039;t think it; I know it for a fact. Donald Trump has been laundering money for decades, primarily but not exclusively with Russians. 

&lt;i&gt;Does ANYONE believe that Donald Trump is unique amongst Billionaires in his actions that has made and kept his billions?? &lt;/i&gt;

I know he is. The fact that you would equate all billionaires reveals your faulty and ever-present false equivalency fallacy you employ on this forum ad nauseam. The false equivalency fallacy is convenient in that it requires no actual intelligence to argue that &quot;they&#039;re all identical.&quot; 

Anyone??? Anyone??? Beuhler???</description>

&lt;i&gt;The key similarity is the emotional strategy and, specifically, the way in which both maestros of rhetoric exploited the primal emotions of Pride, Fear and Anger. &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, yes; I remember it well.

@kick,

if donald did not have the attention span to read a book, how do you explain the similarities between the propaganda of his campaign speeches and that of Adolf Hitler in My New Order, the book his ex-wife ivana said he kept on the night stand? osmosis?

&lt;i&gt;what makes donald unique isn&#039;t any one of those things mentioned in the article, it&#039;s that he does all of those things at once, and unapologetically, in the face of what most people consider decent behavior. &lt;/i&gt;

These inconvenient facts about Trump are sadly as valid now as they ever were.

And, what Donald Trump DID say that one time is that women are so shallow and superficial that, when yer rich, they LET you grab them by the pussy..

And, yes.. By and large, that is true in the circles that Billionaire Donald Trump ran in at the time..

So, I axe you???

What&#039;s the problem???  Donald Trump spoke the truth...

Why do you have a problem with it???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;YES. Go back and re listen to the Access Hollywood tape Michale where Trump says EXACTLY that in his own voice during an on air interview!&lt;/I&gt;

Actually, he didn&#039;t.

But why let FACTS interrupt your hysterical hate-filled rant..

Hell, even VICTORIA admitted she wasn&#039;t quoting Donald Trump....

&lt;I&gt;Kick isn&#039;t the one who is full of it Michale, it&#039;s you!&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, SHE has ***ALWAYS*** been WRONG about everything and I have been dead on ballz accurate.. :D

Funny how that is, eh?  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I don&#039;t think it&#039;s always hatred and bigotry.&lt;/I&gt;

When it comes to REPUBLICAN Donald Trump..

It&#039;s ALWAYS hate and bigotry..

Granted, some more than others..

But, at it&#039;s base, it&#039;s nothing but hate and bigotry..

I mean, honestly..  As far as business activities goes, does ANYONE here honestly believe that Billionaire Donald Trump is MORE guilty of nefarious things than Billionaire Jeff Bezos?? Or Billionaire Warren Buffett?? Or Billionaire Tom Steyer???

Does ANYONE believe that Donald Trump is unique amongst Billionaires in his actions that has made and kept his billions??

		<description>&lt;I&gt; in the face of what most people consider decent behavior.&lt;/I&gt;


You see, JL, that is the ENTIRE problem with your premise.

You are taking a VERY subjective piece of evidence (what people consider &quot;decent&quot;) and applying falsely to an absolute.. President Trump is the ONLY candidate to use some specific attribute that Nazi Germany used..

Yer trying to fit a round peg in a square hole and telling me, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Trust me.. It fits..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

And I say &lt;B&gt;&quot;No.. SHOW me it fits...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;</description>

Explain the reasoning behind that fact-less assumption??

I mean, what makes MORE sense??

Putin wants to pit AMERICAN against AMERICAN and Democrats are willing and eager participants??

Or Putin just wants us to THINK he is pitting AMERICAN against AMERICAN and he is REALLY doing...??? 

WHAT exactly???

I mean, seriously..  Does ANYONE here besides yours truly have ANY experience in dealing with ACTUAL Soviets/Russians??

Anyone at all???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;How are people so easily fooled by such transparent attempts to manipulate them?&lt;/I&gt;

Easy..

The manipulation feeds their hate and bigotry..

So they welcome it..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The Russians are helping Bernie because they think Trump can beat Bernie?

Not likely. If this were true then we wouldn&#039;t be hearing about it now.&lt;/I&gt;

Speaking as one who dealt a LOT with the Russians when they were the Soviets, I can assure ya&#039;all of one thing.

The Soviets/Russians will do anything and everything to fuck with America and Americans.. ANYTHING that sows discontent and strife amongst Americans is their bailiwick...

I just never thought it possible that they would find such a willing and eager partner in Democrats and the Democrat Party...

Live and learn....</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;U.S. &quot;Intelligence&quot; (?) sources are saying Putin is fostering and supporting the candidacies of BOTH Trump AND Sanders, and James Carville agrees and explains it by saying Putin thinks Sanders would be a disaster for the Dems, enabling Trump&#039;s re-election!!!&lt;/I&gt;

Sanders nomination WILL be a disaster for the Dems..

But it will be a HUGE boon for this country and for the American people...

Anything that&#039;s BAD for Democrats is GOOD for America...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;obama might have inspired a bit of pride, but fear and anger weren&#039;t even on his radar. &lt;/I&gt;

Bullshit..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;If they bring a knife to the fight, we&#039;ll bring a gun.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Barack Obama

&quot;They&quot;, of course, being fellow Americans..

Odumbo&#039;s and Shrillary&#039;s entire campaign was about hating on Americans who were rich and more successful.

Much like Bernie&#039;s and Biden&#039;s campaign today...

&lt;I&gt;what makes donald unique isn&#039;t any one of those things mentioned in the article, it&#039;s that he does all of those things at once, and unapologetically, in the face of what most people consider decent behavior.&lt;/I&gt;

In the face of what Trump/America hating people consider &quot;decent&quot; behavior..

In what YOU are describing, President Trump is no different than any other Dem candidate present or past..</description>

		<description>@m,
incorrect.

&lt;b&gt;The key similarity is the emotional strategy and, specifically, the way in which both maestros of rhetoric exploited the primal emotions of Pride, Fear and Anger.&lt;/b&gt;

obama might have inspired a bit of pride, but fear and anger weren&#039;t even on his radar. nor clinton, nor either bush. they all shied away from exploiting fear or anger in their campaigns. the last one to exploit fear, though very indirectly through code words, was reagan. maybe sanders stokes a bit of anger and makes a bit of a panacea of fixing income inequality, but he certainly didn&#039;t create people&#039;s interest in that issue.

what makes donald unique isn&#039;t any one of those things mentioned in the article, it&#039;s that he does all of those things at once, and unapologetically, in the face of what most people consider decent behavior.</description>

		<description>OK JL, I read your Left Wing rag..

And yunno the ONE thing that stuck out???

If you replace TRUMP with OBAMA, the entire essay STILL works...  

If you replace Republican with Democrat, the entire essay STILL works..

Thereby proving my point..

What you would like to ascribe to President Trump and the GOP specifically can easily be applied to Obama and the Democrat Party as well..

It&#039;s not that Trump is Nazi like.. Or that the GOP is Nazi like..

It&#039;s that the process itself has gotten mean and nasty and those looking for a connection will find when where their agenda says there is one..

It&#039;s like the 3 blind men and the elephant..

Each one &quot;sees&quot; whatever confirms their environment...

It&#039;s confirmation bias...

Nothing more..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Indeed, at the Nevada debate, all of the other candidates seemed to concede that they don’t have a hope, let alone a plan, to win the most votes or delegates when they all signaled they’d support the Democratic establishment handing the nomination to someone the voters had rejected.

This fundamentally anti-democratic plot would destroy not just any notion of “unity” (which is a scam the Democratic establishment has been opportunistically and hypocritically pushing throughout the election) but also hand the election to Trump, who wants nothing more than a fractured Dem party ripe for accusations of rigging the process. Imagine how many voters would be driven from the system by the unprecedented injustice of a stolen convention.


It would be an unmitigated disaster to so fully reject the will of the voters. It would likely be the end of the Democratic Party.&lt;/b&gt;
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/484209-what-if-bernie-has-already-won-this-thing

We&#039;re all bearing witness to the beginning of the end of the Democrat Party...  :D

And all I can say is it&#039;s about frakin&#039; time!!  :D</description>

		<description>Reposted for clarity..

&lt;I&gt;The similarities between Donald and the nazis are unusual, and not flippant -at all.&lt;/I&gt;

They ARE flippant..

As evidenced by the FACT that they are now being applied to Sanders..

Or do you believe that the Sanders/Nazi comparison has merit??

The fact remains.. You cannot point to a SINGLE attribute that is shared by Nazis and President Trump that is not shared by ANYONE else..

Ergo, your comparison is flippant and non-factual..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;yes, that&#039;s exactly what i said. you refuse to engage in any reading that might lend factual substance to a political view other than your own.&lt;/I&gt;

What part of factually unsupportable was not clear to you??

It&#039;s a Left Wing rag...

By definition, it CAN&#039;T be factual...

But, as I said.. If I get bored watching the paint in the kitchen dry and then watching the grass growing doesn&#039;t hold my interest..

Then I&#039;ll read your Left Wing Rag commentary...</description>

yes, that&#039;s exactly what i said. you refuse to engage in any reading that might lend factual substance to a political view other than your own. it&#039;s circular reasoning; you won&#039;t read any facts that don&#039;t support your conclusions, because they wouldn&#039;t be supported BY your conclusions. that&#039;s bad mainly because it isn&#039;t very good.

&lt;i&gt;The fact that I was wrong in my Bernie prediction doesn&#039;t preclude the hate you feel for Bernie and the joy I will feel when he wins the Dem nomination.. Something else I can rub yer nose in til the end of time. &lt;/i&gt;

Wow! You are hysterical, and I do not mean comical. Tell us all more about your obsession with my feelings; I don&#039;t think you&#039;ve embarrassed yourself enough with your flailing attempts at gauging my emotions and how your happiness depends on your fantasies about me.

&lt;i&gt;You are on record as saying Bernie can&#039;t win.. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re projecting your feelings of hatred and cluelessness on others yet again. I am on record predicting Bernie would win Nevada:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
1. Sanders
2. Biden
3. Buttigieg
4. Warren
5. Steyer 

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2020/02/21/ftp562/#comment-154061
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

On the other hand, you are ever the inveterate liar flailing in your attempts to push a narrative of your own making in order to get your jollies on a political forum where discussing yourself and attempting to soothe your perpetual feelings of low self esteem are the highlight of your now pathetic existence.  

&lt;i&gt;Time will prove you wrong... &lt;/i&gt;

Said the moron whom time has proven wrong and now flailing desperately in his attempts to spin it. 

Thank you giving us all that glimpse into your psyche... it seems like it sucks to be you.</description>

		<description>For the record, Joe Biden is 5th in delegate count...

He is going to have to sweep SC to remain viable...

Considering the head winds he&#039;s bucking..

I doubt he will be able to prevail..</description>

		<description>The problem with throwing around Nazi comparisons flippantly is that it leads to things like what I mentioned in comment #72...

I am sure Matthews believes that Sanders is Nazi like, just like you believe Trump is Nazi like..

And I am sure Matthews thinks he has JUST as many &quot;facts&quot; to support HIS position...</description>

		<description>I refuse to waste my time reading an article I know supports a position that is factually unsupportable..

It&#039;s nothing but an opinion and the few &quot;facts&quot; I have gleaned from it thru you are easily refuted..

I have a slow day tomorrow.. Maybe when I wake up in the morning and get the wife off..... 

.... to work  :D  I&#039;ll have the time and the inclination to read it and refute it en masse..</description>

i.e. you refuse to engage in any reading, much less thinking, that might lend factual substance to a political view other than your own.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The first thing to say is that this is not all about Donald Trump. He represents merely the apex of a cultural trend and before he appeared there were movements and events that presaged his arrival.&lt;/I&gt;

Which kinda refutes your claim that President Trump is unique amongst Right Wing politicians..

Apparently, according to your own article, it&#039;s the GOP movement that is Nazi like, not solely President Trump..

And yet, when we get into the SPECIFICS as you illustrated above, we find that they are merely distinctions on a central theme..

Choosing a group to focus hate and fear...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Your Good and your Evil use the same methods.  To achieve the same goals.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Yarnek/General George Washington, STAR TREK

Democrats and Republicans use the same Nazi-esque methods to achieve their goals...</description>

		<description>Ooops.. I hit SUBMIT too soon..

&lt;I&gt;donald stirs pride about an imagined and glorified past, like germany pre-1918.&lt;/I&gt;

So did Ronald Reagan.. So did Bill Clinton.. So did Barack Obama...  I am not seeing anything grossly different..

&lt;I&gt; he encourages fear of foreign people, even if they happen to be citizens, whose parents have religious or ethnic backgrounds that don&#039;t reflect his ideal.&lt;/I&gt;

And Obama and Hillary encourage hatred of Americans who are better off than the middle class, whose parents had a richie rich background that doesn&#039;t reflect Democrat&#039;s ideal..

Again, VERY similar to what you attribute solely to Donald Trump..

I suspect what you further attribute is simply more of the same..

What you are describing are DISTINCTIONS, not differences..

Obama and Hillary fostered hate and fear of Rich Americans,  Donald Trump fostered hate and fear of criminals and terrorists..

They are distinctions on the same theme..  The only REAL difference is President Trump&#039;s is more morally acceptable and Obama/Hillary&#039;s fosters hate and fear of FELLOW AMERICANS which makes it, at the VERY least, morally questionable..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;you still have yet to submit any content from the article for review of its factual accuracy. you can&#039;t claim a piece contains blanket factual inaccuracy without first addressing all the facts,&lt;/I&gt;

I am asking YOU for facts to support your position..

A link to a long biased missive is nothing but an appeal to authority..

I will be happy to refute ANY facts you have to support your opinion that Trump is Nazi-like..

Once you offer them..

I know what you are trying to say..

Trump is mean and nasty and Nazis are mean and nasty.. 

Ergo Trump=Nazi

I am asking for more substance than that from YOU...

To put it more succinctly..

It would be as if I said, &lt;B&gt;&quot;PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT NAZI LIKE&quot;&lt;/B&gt; and, as proof, I offer ....

		<description>@m,

&lt;i&gt;I cannot concede that because it is not factually accurate..&lt;/i&gt;

you still have yet to submit any content from the article for review of its factual accuracy. you can&#039;t claim a piece contains blanket factual inaccuracy without first addressing all the facts, or any fact for that matter. nor is it appropriate to turn it back on me to pick out the specifics for you. since it doesn&#039;t seem you&#039;ll be reading anytime soon, here are some of the parallels based on my own reading (but which really are not an adequate substitute for reading the article itself):

donald stirs pride about an imagined and glorified past, like germany pre-1918. he encourages fear of foreign people, even if they happen to be citizens, whose parents have religious or ethnic backgrounds that don&#039;t reflect his ideal. he stokes anger based on grievances both real and imaginary, cruelty and deliberate violation of societal norms, trusting tribalism and public apathy to allow most of them to go unanswered.

instead of finding real legal cover, he just puts those violations of human decency right out there and dares anybody to say something, only adjusting slightly if the courts temporarily strike them down, as was the case with the &quot;muslim ban&quot;

tactics donald has brought back from relative obscurity include, the maneuver, the panacea and the fabrication. more than any politician since hitler, he is able to take advantage of a new media environment and change his beliefs to suit the crowd. he has no real ideology beyond his own brand, and has said he favors things that contradict each other on the same day to different audiences, to curry the favor of both. he proposes simple solutions that people can understand, even though they will never happen and wouldn&#039;t be much help even if they did. mexico will pay for a border wall, now they won&#039;t, now the money is coming from the military, but who cares, he&#039;s keeping his promise. will it keep anyone out? no, but they won&#039;t dare bring their kids because we&#039;ll lock up the kids and deport the parents, then lose the paperwork so they can never find each other again. that&#039;ll teach &#039;em to live here without permission. china invented global warming, then hillary clinton did, then it&#039;s a conspiracy by energy companies, then a conspiracy against energy companies. he releases a budget that will cut medicare, medicaid, foot stamps and social security, then gives a speech about how he&#039;s just strengthened all of them. and it&#039;s all part of a larger plan to keep the media environment saturated with all things trump. as milton meyer said, he doesn&#039;t care if it&#039;s a good car or a bad car, as long as it&#039;s a national socialist car. hooray, volkswagon!

the reason you&#039;re framing it as &quot;ONE attribute&quot; is because there&#039;s always ONE attribute that a politician or movement has used at one time or another. what makes donald unusual isn&#039;t that he&#039;s doing something new, it&#039;s that he&#039;s doing something old, which until he came along just wasn&#039;t thought possible.

I cannot concede that because it is not factually accurate..

About the ONLY thing you can say that President Trump is that other past candidates, including DEMOCRAT candidates, is that President Trump is more rude and crass and arrogant than other past candidates.

Now, if you want to claim that it&#039;s THOSE attributes that are reminiscent of the Third Reich....  Then I would have to say that you don&#039;t get out much...  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Well, it&#039;s fanatics who make history.  General Patton was a fanatic. That&#039;s what made him great.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Adolf Hitler was a persuasive orator..

		<description>Yes, the raw story is a left wing publication. However, I am not a left wing voter. Since I saw enough of value to link it as evidence, I suggest you read the text prior to drawing conclusions about its validity based on a blanket ad hominem fallacy. I am not going to spam this forum with each individual point, so if you have any real criticism feel free to offer it.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;yes, donald campaigns SIGNIFICANTLY more like hitler than any other north american politician since the invention of radio, and even THAT is still only a LITTLE. i bookmarked a link for these occasions when clarification would be necessary.&lt;/I&gt;

As I said, I understand why you (and the Left Wing rag you use as a source) would think that..

But the simple fact is President Trump&#039;s &quot;propaganda&quot; is no different than the &quot;propaganda&quot; used by Left Wing candidates..

If you have any points of difference...

		<description>and one of these days CW, you will finally give pie the chance it needs.

people are already overwhelmingly in favor of pie, and i think i have been posting enough valuable information to warrant some attention in an article. how can pie catch fire nationwide as a political movement if it isn&#039;t first covered by members of the media, like yourself? meet your responsibility! eat pie! vote! or are you simply too enamored of cake to make room for something different?

&lt;b&gt;Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?

		<description>&lt;B&gt;See, you bought into the idea that another four years of prosperity and peace under Donald Trump is much, much worse than reinstalling the party apparatus that has screwed you over in the last two cycles. You’ll ignore the economy, the lack of new wars, the trade rebalancing, and all the other stuff and instead focus on what your masters have commanded you to focus on: that Trump tweeted something mean. Oh, and Russians.

And here’s why you will let the Democrat puppetmasters succeed. It’s because you are stupid. Now, you could stop being stupid. You could refuse to play along. You could even insist Bernie run as a third-party candidate. I like that because it guarantees Trump II: Fossil-Fuel Generated Electric Boogaloo. But it would serve your interests too by forcing the party to recognize and respect you instead of assuming you’ll fall into line once again. But you won’t. You’re all talk and no revolution. Take off that Che t-shirt and put on one with Mini Mayor’s pouty little mug on it. He’s your man. You’re all Bloomberg Bros. Just give it time.

You’re saps, and you’ll take whatever you’re given and tell yourself you like it.

Speaking of what might happen if America’s urban dummies were foolish enough to elect an out socialist, check out my latest conservative thriller, Collapse, along with the other entries in the best-selling series, People&#039;s Republic, Indian Country, and Wildfire.  America breaks in two as leftist foolishness, and evil, becomes unbearable. Action and liberal bashing ensue. &lt;/B&gt;

Kurt Schlichter tells it like it is..  :D

Ya see, we don&#039;t have to worry about bashing Democrats because President Trump DOESN&#039;T NEED Democrat supporters to win the election..

But Demorats **DO** need Trump Supporters to win..

How awesome is that!!???  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;And your next protest will be that Donald Trump is worse than Mini Mike. In fact, you’ll say, Trump is like Hitler combined with…well, Hitler is the only dictator you don’t like, so we’ll just stick with “He’s literally Hitler for real!” Again, you have been suckered. If you were actually raging against the machine rather than aspiring to be a cog in it, you would back him. Now, you may not like it, and you may be too dumb to see it, but Trump is the only disruptor of the establishment in this race. Short Stuff’s gnome-ination is designed to re-establish the establishment. And mark my words: you’ll help him do it.


Yeah, I bet Wall Street is quivering in its collective Guccis over the muffled pitter-patter of the tiny little footsteps of the approaching Bloomberg administration. Bloomberg is not just an eager supporter of the globalist vision but a leading advocate, the Dwarf King of Davos. Trump, not so much. But you’ve been told to hate Trump, and like obedient little ants, you hate him.

In fact, you hate Trump so much that you will vote for the polar opposite of your crusty commie hero even after your preference has been torn from your soft little hands yet again. If you wanted to burn down the system, Trump would be your man. But you don’t...not really. You just want some scraps, like getting out of your loans or making other people pay for your doctor and you’ll be happy. That’s why you’ll give your general election vote to the Stop ‘N Frisk Doughboy even as you assure yourself that the guy who got minority unemployment to record lows is the big, bad racist in this race.


You’ve been had. You’ll cry, but you’ll still go along with the scam as this all plays out.&lt;/b&gt;

It&#039;s like Schlichter is living in the heads of Dumbocrats everywhere!!  He knows them SO WELL!!!  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Now, at this point, you probably have some complaints about this column. By complaining, you can temporarily distract from the indisputable fact that your own foolishness has put you in the position of being crushingly humiliated by the Democratic elite once again. Let me briefly address your whiny protests.

Yes, I say “socialist” like it’s a bad thing. This is because it’s a very bad thing. Like, to the tune of 100 million corpses bad thing. I’ve actually lived in the ruins of socialism and you, well, you had a man-bunned sociology TA tell you it was swell. And you believed him because you are a dupe. Be glad that I am assuming that you are stupid instead of the only other reason one would ever cavort with these blood-stained goblins: that you are evil.

But he’s a “democratic socialist,” you interject, because you are stupid. Would you feel fine with a “democratic Nazi?” Actually, you probably would, since Nazis are just a genre of socialist with white and black added to the color palette.&lt;/B&gt;

Heheheheheheheheh... Gods, ya just HAVE to love Kurt Schlichter!!  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;You Bernie Suckers Are Going to Get Fooled Again

If you are dumb enough to slobber over a socialist then you’re already inclined toward being a hapless mark, so it should be no surprise that you Bernie dorks are about to get screwed over again by the Democratic Party. Here’s how it’s going to go: Because you are stupid – you support a socialist, so you are presumptively stupid – you think that if you work really hard and win the votes the establishment creeps who own the Democratic Party are going to let you have a say. But, like last time, you won’t get a say. You’ll work real hard – maybe if you worked really hard at actual jobs you wouldn’t be half-wit socialists – and you’ll win the votes, and all your dreams will die as you end up with the nomination going to a malignant midget multi-zillionaire.

I don’t know exactly how they are going to do it – more convenient caucus kerfuffles, super-delegates, shenanigans at the convention – but there is no way your masters will ever let you win. Like I said, you’re socialists, and therefore stupid, so you will get cheated and you will end up having to vote for the Verne Troyer of American big-money politics.&lt;/B&gt;

He is the Right Wing version of CW..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Biden’s possible resurrection in South Carolina also makes the case for Michael Bloomberg tenuous. Bloomberg got into the race by arguing he would be a Bernie slayer if Biden collapsed. But Biden’s stubborn refusal to collapse completely means that Bloomberg is now more likely to play the role of assisting Sanders’s march to the nomination — by keeping Biden wounded and the non-Sanders candidates further divided — rather than preventing it.

The race is Sanders’ to lose. He’s the best funded non-billionaire candidate. He has the best organization. He is winning the broadest coalition.&lt;/B&gt;

And Bernie is also the one candidate that President Trump REALLY wants to face..  :D

With Bernie, President Trump&#039;s predicted Saint Ronald Reagan-esque landslide is all but assured...  :D

So..

GO BERNIE!! GO!!!!   :D

I fully support Bernie in his quest to win the Dim Primary..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;LAS VEGAS — On Saturday in Nevada, Bernie Sanders laid waste not just to his five main rivals but also to every shard of conventional wisdom about the Democratic presidential primaries.

You could see the dominoes of punditry cliches falling inside the caucus rooms. At the Bellagio Hotel, which held one of several “Strip caucuses” meant to be easily accessible to hospitality workers along Vegas’ main drag, 75 Sanders supporters gathered along the wall of a ballroom.

The powerful Culinary Union, which opposes Sanders’ Medicare for All plan and spent the final weeks of the campaign in a high-profile fight with his campaign, was supposed to weaken him. And yet the Sanders’s ranks were speckled with red-shirted Culinary members. (Overall, Sanders won 34% of caucus-goers from union households, besting all of his rivals.)&lt;/B&gt;


Party Purity, not electability... 

Wins the day....</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Sanders eviscerates the conventional wisdom about why he can&#039;t win

In Nevada, he exposed his main rivals as weak, divided, and grasping at increasingly tenuous arguments about their viability.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/22/bernie-sanders-nevada-2020-election-116762

Who could have POSSIBLY predicted that Democrats would choose Party Purity over electability....

Oh wait..  :D

Ya see.. That&#039;s what happens when ya take a FACT-based, a REALITY-based approach to predictions..

Instead of a WISH-CASTING approach to predictions..

To be fair, I myself have had my fair share of wish-casting predictions..

But NOT when it comes to President Trump and his opponents...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;MSNBC’s Chris Matthews drew ire on social media Saturday after he compared the Nevada Democratic caucus victory of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders to France&#039;s fall to the Nazis during World War II.

“I&#039;m reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940,&quot; Matthews said during the network&#039;s caucus coverage. &quot;And the general calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over,’ and Churchill says, ‘How can it be? You got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It&#039;s over.’”


The backlash on Twitter was swift and severe, with many commenters calling for Matthews to resign or be fired. Many pointed out that Sanders&#039; family includes survivors of the Holocaust.&lt;/b&gt;

Nazi comparisons are no fun when ya&#039;all are on the receiving end, eh??    :smirk:</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Trump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are causing a ‘shock wave’

When President Trump ticks off his accomplishments since taking office, he frequently mentions his aggressive makeover of a key sector of the federal judiciary — the circuit courts of appeal, where he has appointed 51 judges to lifetime jobs in three years.

In few places has the effect been felt more powerfully than in the sprawling 9th Circuit, which covers California and eight other states. Because of Trump’s success in filling vacancies, the San Francisco-based circuit, long dominated by Democratic appointees, has suddenly shifted to the right, with an even more pronounced tilt expected in the years ahead.

Trump has now named 10 judges to the 9th Circuit — more than one-third of its active judges — compared with seven appointed by President Obama over eight years.

“Trump has effectively flipped the circuit,” said 9th Circuit Judge Milan D. Smith Jr., an appointee of President George W. Bush.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-22/trump-conservative-judges-9th-circuit


Ooooo, that&#039;s just GOTS ta piss off Democrats!!  :D

And, when Democrats finally succeed in their goal of killing RBG, President Trump will have a THIRD pick to add to the SCOTUS.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;As Sanders solidifies his &#039;front-runner&#039; status, the Republicans seem to have decided that &#039;socialism&#039; is the scare word for 2020. &lt;/I&gt;

I can forgive you because yer obviously not an American, but socialism has ALWAYS been on the outs here in this country...

&lt;I&gt;The reason: spiraling health-care costs in the ONLY first-world country without universal health care and Sander&#039;s promise of &#039;Medicare for All&#039;.&lt;/I&gt;

Venezuela gives us all we need to know about how well socialism works..

&lt;I&gt;Here&#039;s hoping that Sanders chooses a young, vibrant progressive as his vice-president; I sadly admit that disqualifies Buttigieg.
I was stunned to see that Trump is the YOUNGEST of the bunch!
&#039;..the advanced age of four leading contenders for the presidency—Donald Trump, 73; Bernie Sanders, 78; Mike Bloomberg, 78; and Joe Biden, 77. None of the four amigos is likely to croak tomorrow, but the actuarial odds are bending against them. One scholar on aging reports that Trump has an 84.8 percent chance of surviving a 2020 term, while Sanders, Bloomberg and Biden rate several percentage points worse.&#039;&lt;/I&gt;

There ya go..

We need to keep the young turk in office!!  :D</description>

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;It’s more that Russia is trying to help Bernie win the nomination...&lt;/I&gt;

Which is the first step in getting Bernie elected POTUS..

Did you fall and hit your head again???

&lt;I&gt;Trump is a coward and a traitor... and yet you still support him!?!&lt;/I&gt;

Again, your opinion is based SOLELY on hatred and bigotry and, as such, is meaningless..

I am also constrained to point out that your messiah Odumbo is coward and a traitor and you support him..

So, by yer own standards, you are actually guilty of what you falsely accuse me of.. 

Funny how that ALWAYS is the case.. :D

As I mentioned above, it&#039;s going to be heaven here in Weigantia when Trump wins re-election and Democrats lose the House.. :D

I have to wonder how ya&#039;all are going to handle all the shame and embarrassment of being WRONG.. AGAIN..  :D

I shouldn&#039;t worry.. Ya&#039;all have had LOTS of practice in dealing with shame and embarrassment of being wrong.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;can you understand now why i thought it might be appropriate to mention the oxford comma?&lt;/I&gt;


I can&#039;t speak to the Oxford comma as I am not as edumacated as much as you or DSWS..

&lt;B&gt;&quot; Well he don&#039;t know talkin&#039; good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to &quot;I&quot; and &quot;am&quot; and &quot;Groot,&quot; exclusively in that order. &quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Rocket, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

But, I CAN speak intelligently to what I meant..

While I DID bring up the ATTRIBUTES and attitudes of Josef Stalin, I did not bring up the man himself..

Note what I said.. 

&lt;B&gt;It says, that if Democrats nominate &lt;I&gt;a&lt;/I&gt; Josef Stalin or &lt;I&gt;an&lt;/I&gt; Adolph Hitler, ya&#039;all are going to vote for them..&lt;/B&gt;

Logically speaking, I am pointing out that you Democrats would vote for a guy like, a guy with the attributes and attitudes of someone like Stalin or Hitler..

Ergo, it doesn&#039;t mean I am saying that those two historical scumbags are actually going to be in the race, as Victoria always whines and cries about..

See the point??</description>

		<description>As Sanders solidifies his &#039;front-runner&#039; status, the Republicans seem to have decided that &#039;socialism&#039; is the scare word for 2020. So far the Democratic primary/caucus results show that it is ineffective.  The reason: spiraling health-care costs in the ONLY first-world country without universal health care and Sander&#039;s promise of &#039;Medicare for All&#039;.  
We&#039;ve all seen the talking-heads throwing eggs at the idea, but it remains a reasonable solution to ALL American voters (except those with an &#039;I&#039;ve got MINE!&#039; attitude). None of the other candidates - even Warren&#039;s  &quot;I have a plan!&quot; - cuts through the misinformation as effectively.</description>

&lt;i&gt;The ONE person that Victoria DOESN&#039;T want to win the Dem primary is gonna bring home the gold!!! :D &lt;/i&gt;

As I have noted previously, it&#039;s always a special bonus when it&#039;s you highlighting your very own ever-present cluelessness:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Bernie is done.. His campaign is over..

Now leave me alone, please. Me and Barack Obama, the Clintons, and all those Democrats are busy planning our escape from your cranium.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Nice Try, Russ..

Russia Collusion as it pertains to President Trump is passe&#039; and so 2016...

The CURRENT delusion is that the Russians are working to get Bernie elected..
&lt;/I&gt;

It’s more that Russia is trying to help Bernie win the nomination...which is what Trump wants to happen because Trump thinks Bernie is probably the only Democrat that he can beat.   

Here’s the strange thing: Bernie has already spoken out saying that he does not want Russia interfering with our elections at all — something Trump does not seem to want Russia to hear...coming from him, at least! 

&lt;B&gt;“I don’t care, frankly, who Putin wants to be president,” Sanders said in a statement. “My message to Putin is clear: stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do.”&lt;/b&gt;

Bernie also said:

&lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt;Unlike Donald Trump, I do not consider Vladimir Putin a good friend. He is an autocratic thug who is attempting to destroy democracy and crush dissent in Russia. Let’s be clear, the Russians want to undermine American democracy by dividing us up and, unlike the current president, I stand firmly against their efforts, and any other foreign power that wants to interfere in our election.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Trump is a coward and a traitor... and yet you still support him!?!</description>

&lt;i&gt;Based on the admittedly very little bit of the Dem debates I&#039;ve watched, I&#039;d say the Dems do not need any help whatsoever from the Russians &quot;driving wedges between their differing factions&quot;. &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, where were you in 2016 when this odyssey began? This crap isn&#039;t new and is all part and parcel of the continuing shenanigans and wedge driving of the prior election. 

&lt;i&gt;They&#039;re handling that nicely all by themselves! &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, but they did have help... lots and lots of help; this is merely the continuing saga of the same song, second verse; it&#039;s gotta get better &#039;cause it can&#039;t get worse. Oh, wait... sure it could get worse.</description>

&lt;i&gt;My point was that Trump didn&#039;t say what you said he said. &lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s established that I did not quote him, dumb-ass, but if it&#039;s your claim that President P Grabbing Pedophile Peeping Don Paid Off a Porn Star has not bragged about grabbing women&#039;s privates and crashing multiple dressing rooms of underage girls, then your ass really has been living under a great big rock along a wandering bank of denial. 

&lt;i&gt;Attacks on my wife and grandkids in 3... 2.... 1.... &lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;It says, that if Democrats nominate a Josef Stalin or an Adolph Hitler, ya&#039;all are going to vote for them..&lt;/i&gt;

@m[48]

&lt;i&gt;Stalin wasn&#039;t mentioned whatsoever in the context of a nomination or a vote..&lt;/i&gt;

can you understand now why i thought it might be appropriate to mention the oxford comma?

I will not be able to live-comment the NV results tonight, due to the fact that I won&#039;t be here, I&#039;ll be up in San Fran watching a concert tonight.  Sorry!

Entrance polls looked good for Bernie, though...

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Impeachment backfire? Schiff opponent launches new ad thanking him for helping Trump

Eric Early, a Republican vying to oust Rep. Adam Schiff from office, launched his first TV ad Saturday mocking the &quot;limelight&quot;-seeking California Democrat for leading an unsuccessful impeachment crusade.

The 30-second spot features several people telling Schiff &quot;thank you.&quot;

Early, a Los Angeles attorney running against Schiff for Congress, says Republicans are grateful that Schiff&#039;s impeachment backfire has boosted President Trump&#039;s likelihood of winning another four years in office.

“I thanked Adam Schiff for helping President Trump ultimately get reelected to the presidency,&quot; Early, 60, told Fox News. &quot;President Trump’s approval ratings have never been higher since this impeachment. We can thank, in part, Adam Schiff for that.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

WOW..  :D

Talk about adding insult to injury...  :D</description>

		<description>Ok, here are my guesses.  I&#039;ll be different, for the heck of it.  I haven&#039;t made anything resembling an attempt at informed prognostication.

1. Sanders
2. Buttigieg
3. Biden
4. Klobuchar
5. Warren

I like Elizabeth Warren.  I think she would be a good president.  I think she at least has the potential to be a good general-election candidate, who could connect to people from the middle of the country (she&#039;s from Oklahoma).  But I have magical powers, in a negative way.  If I like someone, that means she can&#039;t be nominated.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no good reason for picking a bunch of people and saying their votes don&#039;t matter.  Large state, non-swing state, wrong caucus site, whatever: it all stinks.

Everyone&#039;s vote should matter.  That means no winner-take-all.  

Strength of preference should matter too.  So should second- and third-choice preferences.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Based on the admittedly very little bit of the Dem debates I&#039;ve watched, I&#039;d say the Dems do not need any help whatsoever from the Russians &quot;driving wedges between their differing factions&quot;.

They&#039;re handling that nicely all by themselves!&lt;/I&gt;

Yep...  In Spades....</description>
