Trump Storms Davos

You know what happens to people who keep crying wolf when there's no wolf around?

You know what happens to people who don't listen when there is?

Depends on how well armed they are.

Not if the wolf gets the drop on them it doesn't.

You're so simple.

And you're such a jackass, CP.

No, I'm (or was) an elephant, you're a jackass!

Yeah, I don't see anything he has done to seriously consolidate power which is pretty much the first step a dictator takes historically speaking.

You don't, Really!

I think it's just jimmy trying to rationalize his knee-jerk hatred.

The setup of our federal government makes that a rather tall order to begin with. Even FDR, with significant majorities in both houses of Congress, couldn't manage to get around the Supreme Court. Trump's not even in firm control of his own party! It's certainly not a well thought out charge.

This is when the old adage about needing to consider the source comes to mind.

But it was okay when Obama's AG, Eric Holder, announced where his loyalties were. And it wasn't to the country. Or the constitution. It was to Obama. He bragged he was Obama's "wingman." And nobody batted an eye.

With that being the case, one can excuse Trump if he thought his AG was beholden to him.



And if this is your evidence for Trump seeking to become a dictator...

Ah yes, an immediate deflection to the evils of Hillary and Obama. So predictable!

Trump thinks everybody is beholden to him. The attorney general's job is to defend the law -- no exceptions despite Trump's narcissistic fury at Sessions "disloyalty".

Where was Hillary mentioned? Are you imagining things? Trump Derangement Syndrome causing hallucinations? I'm simply pointing out that this is hardly anything new what with Holder even boasting of his loyalty to Obama.

And yet Obama's AG thought his job was to be Obama's "wingman" but nobody was squealing about how this was some sort of evidence that he was trying to be a dictator

That's because no one at the time took what Holder said the way you want to take it now in order to defend your adored dictator.

Hillary/Obama are an evil package in Repug eyes, doncha know.

...still with the deflection.

In the ILGA discussion, that's pretty much all you did, oh ye hypocritter.
