I don't perceive those Democrats as nascent fascists and I'm pretty sure neither did FDR. The key thing here is I think we both recognize these people wanted a strong leader to take care of them. Regarding Obama, it's not the firmness of ground, but the difference in the crisis. Obama led us through the Great Recession, FDR the Great Depression.

Not speaking for whell, but I've been told recently I'm just like him. That being said, the video made me laugh.

Mueller report suggests the ‘fake news’ came from Trump, not the news media

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...c6d_story.html

As the sane amongst us (not you, Whell) knew all along.

7 times the Mueller report caught Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders lying to press
From Comey to Trump Tower, the report documents — without even trying — how easily Trump’s press secretaries lie for him

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/201...-sarah-sanders

How is this serving the public? Dereliction of duty, seems to me. They belong behind bars.

Mueller's report showed that nearly all the reporting from the NYTimes and WashPost was accurate, and the only thing they got wrong was how high the legal standard is for the president and his family to be charged with a crime.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Reacting to the journalist April Ryan’s call for her to be fired, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said, on Friday, that she has been the victim of the media’s “widespread anti-liar bias.”

“From their obsession with fact-checking to their relentless attacks on falsehoods, the media have made no secret of their bias,” Sanders said. “It’s open season on liars in America.”

“This is media hypocrisy at its very worst,” she added. “The same journalists who advocate freedom of speech want to take that freedom away from anyone whose speech consists entirely of lies.”

“This is nothing more or less than a direct attack on the lying life style,” she said. “You take away my right to lie and you take away my ability to earn a living.”

Kellyanne Conway, the White House senior counsellor, spoke out in support of Sanders, telling reporters, “An attack on one liar is an attack on all liars.”

“Our country has seen some dark days, from the Bowling Green Massacre to the bugging of the White House microwave,” she said. “But this might be the darkest.”

UGLY SARAH DOUBLES DOWN ON EXPLANATION FOR JAMES COMEY'S FIRING IN MUELLER REPORT: 'IT WASN'T UNTRUE'


https://www.newsweek.com/sarah-hucka...ueller-1401030

Hey Whell, what’s it like living a life where lying becomes second nature? Sarah would go far in HR, huh?

Freedumb Caucus clowns attack the media, which reported virtually everything correctly, in accordance with the Mueller report. They simply won't back down, despite the continuous lies from this corrupt administration.

U.S. Press Freedom Gets Labeled ‘Problematic’ For The First Time

The 2019 World Press Freedom Index downgraded the U.S. three spots to 48 out of 180 countries in terms of a free press

MAGAMorons must be so proud of their wannabe dictator, eh Whell?

We were not doing all that well under Obama. Go and take a look at his last one. It is a sad example of what American Fascism is doing to us. And it is going to keep getting worse.
