This was out there for 'all to see,' in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, before the Iraq War. But the public was ready for a war, and didn't care a lot why or with who.

The president’s real goal in Iraq, by Jay Bookman

I agree, although claiming to know the 'real goal' sounds more opinion than fact.

Here, the "others" are Southern border immigrants.

Not really. I remember back in the day discussing the possibility of America going fascist. I acknoleged the possibly under very narrow conditions. Those conditions don't exist and I'm pretty sure Trump's not the guy/movement.

Highly.

Go back a few days. Trump was throwing tantrums and ordering DHS to break the law just before his purge of DHS. Jake Tapper/CNN reporting: https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/polit...sen/index.html

"Trump wants to separate families." And he wants the Army to get 'rough.'

And once he gets by with doing it on the border, it's on to other places. Think martial law in the 'sanctuary cities' would be outlandish, unthinkable?

If you think anything is outlandish/unthinkable when it comes to Trump, you will be surprised again and again....

The ones that tighten right or left? When I was was young oppression from above was often called fascist. Obama and Trump are American fascists.

But Obama smiles, according to one lady.

Trump, certainly. Obama, a fascist? That’s even dumber that something Whell would spout. Seriously? You’re joking, in that indecipherable way of yours...
