  • Trump fires IG Michael Atkinson.

    Trump, the wannabe dictator just fired (last night) the IG Michael Atkinson for doing his job rather than being loyal to him. The IG made sure that Congress was informed of the whistleblowers allegations of abuse of power, in the Ukraine/Biden scheme, against the President, and like all those the President see's as being disloyal to him, the wannabe dictator has fired him for it.

        Trump is an amateur. A real dictator would have arranged to have him "silenced" months ago, perhaps in a botched robbery, or a freak weightlifting accident.

          Imagine someone wanting to fire a worker who propagated the message of a vague whistleblower whose name was used to push for a failed impeachment.

              Trump is building the deep state, not purging it. It's true that if IG Atkinson were a Trump loyalist, instead of a principled professional, you'd never have heard of the Ukraine/Biden scheme, and now that he's gone, with a Trump loyalist in his place, you'll never hear of anything else that's going on in Trumps corrupt Administration either. That's what you call a deep state.

                That's great news, a Trumpian deep state is a move in the right direction. Let's hope you're right.

                  Yes, we pretty much understand that you're the supporter of dictatorships, but we Americans, at least for the most part, actually prefer and choose to preserve democracy here in the U.S

                      I like how liberals think that Trump doing things within the confines of what the Constitution explicitly allows him to do somehow makes him a "wannabe dictator".

                        Trump disdains the Constitution and seeks to do an end run around it whenever he can find an unintended loophole. That's why he appoints acting secretaries rather than permanent ones so he can appoint bootlicking loyalist and doesn't have to get confirmation from Congress. Following the intent of the Founders and seeking loopholes to circumvent the intent are two different things. The latter is what a wannabe dictator does.

                          You are so delusional.

                            Aren't you one of the ones saying Trump should issue a nationwide stay at home order?

                              Nope, that is not something that Trump, the wannabe dictator, even has the power to do, but states can, and that is not undemocratic as the great majority of Americans agree with, appreciate, and are for the most part abiding by those temporary orders. At least 41 states have already put those rules into effect, and those idiot holdouts, all red state Governors, are endangering the lives of the citizens, not only of their states, but the citizens of the country.
                              But Trump should have long ago encouraged the idiot hold-outs out there to put those orders into effect in order to protect the lives of people, which is his job, and prevent further ruin to the economy in this national emergency. Trump is obviously more concerned with his election and therefore the economy, which his delayed actions and messaging have done more to bring down, than he is concerned with thousands of Americans losing their lives.
