The Match Cut 2017 Political Thread (or: The Lord of the Leaks: The Trump Towers)

What concerns me deeply is that he may try the old tactic that so many dictators, despots and fascists before him have tried when their numbers were plummeting and they wanted to consolidate their power: Start a war. Similar tactics worked for his buddy Putin.

This describes at least 3-4 American presidents over the last century.

Trump isn't a despot or a fascist (and wow, do I wish people would stop using that word). I think you could describe him as "authoritarian" or, more accurately, as a "dick." But he isn't fascist by a long mile.

Also, when Barry walked out the door, the United States was bombing 7 countries. Or did you mean a new war?

If that Russian dossier is accurate, he really is Lord of the Leaks.

You've really been on a good roll lately

I actually typed another war. It's just that nother was in a very, very small font. Jesus, man, get your eyes checked...
