Trump's speech tonight is easily the most overt display of authoritarianism I've seen in American politics.

I've had it! Can't  take anymore.  See you later!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Trump slams Hillary for backing trade agreements-Nafta, TPP, China in WTO ---agreements that GOP lawmakers have overwhelmingly backed.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Hey y'all... while the new boss (same as the old boss) bloviates, I have a question... I saw a graphic floating around the board this morning which was a 'shop of the Trump family photo at Ted Cruz's speech last night. The pic had been cut into four and a though balloon added to each person, culminating in The Donald's thought of "He uses big words."  I wanted to show it to the Mrs. but of course now I can't find it... can anyone provide a link or a copy of it?

Thanks, now back to your regularly scheduled ranting...

His gesturing reminds me of someone....  Now if he begins to pound the podium he will have gone full Hitler.


Never go full Hitler

LOL ~ Too funny! That thread is pretty amusing!
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Just got home heard Ivanka on the radio and the start of the never-ending Trump speech that is still going, going ,going.

Ivanka like many millennials does not identify with Democrats or Republicans-however her speech promises equal pay for equal work and affordable child care and for a moment I thought she was introducing Hitlery.

Trump hasn't gotten any better at reading the teleprompter.

Ivanka says her Dad is kind & compassionate. I think Heidi Cruz & a few others might disagree #RNCinCLE

Hillary couldn't be any more big government than Trump if she tried. Is there NOTHING Trump won't stick the intrusive arm of government into?

And you know his supporters will.  For that is the new conservatism of the 2016 GOP.  If that's horrifying to you, then you are a Democrat.  (and what's even worse, more Democrats believe in free trade than Republicans now)

Did anyone notice the choice of wording re: this part?

Quote
My opponent wants to essentially abolish the 2nd amendment. I, on the other hand, received the early and strong endorsement of the National Rifle Association and will protect the right of all Americans to keep their families safe.

 
He didn't say how he would protect that right.  And he didn't say he would protect the right of Americans to keep their families safe via gun ownership.  I wonder why.

Trump's ingenious plan is to speak all the way through Election Day so that Hillary never gets a chance to respond
