Trump’s personal, racially tinged attacks on federal judge alarm legal experts Donald Trump’s highly personal, racially tinged attacks on a federal judge overseeing a pair of lawsuits against him have set off a wave of alarm among legal experts, who worry that the Republican presidential candidate’s vendetta signals a remarkable disregard for judicial independence. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump%e2%80%99s-personal-racially-tinged-attacks-on-federal-judge-alarm-legal-experts/ar-BBtLmKP?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=spartanntp We sure we want this guy leading us from the White House? |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Trump is a lunatic; most of his followers are not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. |

I hear all his followers are calling Trump Il Duce. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/this-is-how-fascism-takes-hold-the-media-is-turning-donald-trump-into-just-another-candidate/ar-BBtJjLc This is how fascism takes hold: The media is turning Donald Trump into just another candidate Donald Trump, Jimmy Kimmel (Credit: Jimmy Kimmel Live) There is no sense in mincing words, even at the risk of sounding alarmist: Donald Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. Andrew Sullivan, in his much-discussed essay in New York Magazine, said as much, calling Trump “an extinction-level event.” Robert Kagan, writing inThe Washington Post, concurred. His piece was titled: “This Is How Fascism Comes to America.” And those are neoconservatives. Others who are normally temperate and cautious also have weighed inwith thesame idea. Americans are usually sanguine about such things. We feel the country somehow survives, no matter how dire the threat. But what Trump portends is something this country has never before faced, never, and even if he is defeated, he already has managed to change the nature of our political discourse, perhaps even our politics themselves. This country will take a long time getting back to normal, if ever, because now we know there not only is something dark and hideous lurking in the American heart, but that it also can take over the system. Donald Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. Whether or not we can save ourselves from ourselves, anyone looking to the media as a potential bulwark is likely to be disappointed. Though the print media especially have been critical of Trump’s temperament, if fairly oblivious to the windy pronouncements he calls policies, and though pundits, even some on the right, have blasted Trump continuously and warned of the consequences of a Trump presidency, both the media and politics share a long-standing tendency that sooner or later kicks in: Anyone who, or any institution that, exercises power always gets normalized. It doesn’t make any difference where that power comes from. It doesn’t make any difference how reprehensible the expression of that power may be. It doesn’t make any difference even if the power threatens the very basis of a nation. Those with power always get normalized. Edited by mysysail, Jun 3 2016, 09:33 AM.
