Fascism Is here

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

They don't try to even hide it anymore.

Just a reminder. The DOJ is part of the executive branch. Wasn't it Eric Holder who proudly declared he was Obama's wing man?
Yeah I think the comments by Eric Holder are a problem too. "But what about X" isn't really a defense nor a gotcha. The DOJ is supposed to be quasi-indepedent and impartial and I think that's very important. If that's not respected and even if a modicum of evidence by the AG to the contrary is present, that AG is not qualified in my personal opinion.

Outside of all this it's just plain strange and disturbing that this boy's portrait banners are being plastered everywhere around DC much in the style of tinpot dictators and contrary to the style of a country with a supposed republican form of government. Like I've said countless times, this is something you'd think Americans all over the political spectrum would agree is gross and unbecoming of the United States.

And Kennedy had his brother as Attorney General. But neither Holder or Kennedy engaged in the type of blatant abuse we currently see. But I remember when Robert Kennedy, as well as Eric Holder, both babbled about a record high stock market while being questioned about something having nothing to do with the stock market.

Which brought about the anti nepotism law, which DonOld then obliterated.

"Trump administration expands ICE authority to detain refugees"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/tru ... 40725.html

What happened to "worst of the worst" and some concept of ILLEGAL?
The Trump administration has given immigration officers broader powers to detain LEGAL refugees awaiting a green card ‌to ensure they are "re-vetted," an apparent expansion of the president's wide-ranging crackdown on legal ‌and illegal immigration, according to a government memo.

Then there was a liberal lunatic that thought it would be smart to fight with law enforcement at what they call a peaceful protest while having a gun in his waist.

Portrait of Stalin Hanging on Building

Portraits like this one of Stalin in Leningrad are familiar sites in all of the larger cities and towns in Russia. Erected on the exterior of an apartment house, it attracts attention of the people who are on their way to see the Moscow Art Theatre production of Dicken's Pickwick Papers. January 30, 1936....

Unrelated, I found this:

Image

https://www.instagram.com/p/DS3YeqfjNkc/
A dad in Brazil went viral after accidentally throwing his daughter a North Korea–themed birthday party, all because he misheard her request for a “K-pop” celebration.

Instead of BTS posters and pastel decorations, guests walked into a room filled with North Korean flags, images of Kim Jong-un, and a cake topped with political cutouts.

The 12-year-old birthday girl, Emanuela, said she was confused at first but couldn’t stop laughing. The internet quickly crowned it “the most unintentionally iconic birthday party ever.”
:laughing-rolling:
He tried, bless his heart ❤️
As a 30 year old, i would love this birthday party 😂
lol that's going to be one of the most told stories of her childhood she has when she's older!
Something my dad would do! INTENTIONALLY!! 😭😭
