"We're America, bitch."
By Charles P. Pierce
Jun 11, 2018
I admit quite readily that this, from The Atlantic, is little more than a shiny object. But it is an extraordinarily shiny object.
What is it? I asked. Here is the answer I received: The Trump Doctrine is Were America, Bitch. Thats the Trump Doctrine.
Here, with a rebuttal, is John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States.
But, hey, shes America, bitch.
Jesus, these really are the fcking mole people.

He has been smart enough to not say much at all during this entire time. I fear he is planning something and it will make what trump is doing look soft. At the same time however I think trump is trying to become a dictator.

Snip of article
President Donald Trump may fail to qualify as a dictator, but its not for lack of trying.
In late 2016, Harvard University's Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations Stephen M. Walt wrote a 10-point list for analyzing whether a president is a dictator.

(11,686 posts)I have always thought this was a goal of his since his campaigning started. He however is not smart enough to do it on his own and would end up just being a puppet for the smart ones. Yeah, I realize he is already a puppet but he will be more so if he is able to fain that he has dictatorship.
