It's not good enough to say Trump is heading toward fascism. It's not good enough to say it seems like he might become dictatorial. The media--& the public--needs to tell the truth & do so without mealy-mouthed rhetoric. We can't overcome this problem if we think it exists somewhere in the future.

No capital punishment. Early bail. Fringe juries that refuse to render a guilty verdict upon the guilty. It's there. The left needs to own its shortcomings.

Trump's casual dismissal of domestic crime as not being a crime at all comes -- wait for it -- on the same day the Second Circuit affirmed the $80+ million civil judgment E.Jean Carroll won against Trump.

Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler committed suicide after they figured out their 1000-year Reich wasnât going to last. Goring killed himself just before he was to be hanged after being convicted of crimes against humanity and other crimes at Nuremberg. Fascist regimes falsely think theyâll rule forever.

Trump apparently on the verge of political unilateral intervention in Chicago with massive Federal law enforcement and possibly military formations. No coordination with state authorities. The face of a rolling suppression of American values.

18 is too young. Totally unethical. In the 21st century we should know better. Minimum for combat should be as high as 30, as low as 26. Special forces are older on average anyways. So clearly older soldiers can perform. It says a lot about our species that we are willing to sacrifice adolescents.
