That fat ass is guilty of treason and he's a fascist. I wish more Dems would call him and other thuglicans that support him that but I won't hold my breath before that happens. It's okay for them to call Dems un-American or socialists or communists though.

That is a fact. Behaves a lot like Benito. Wonder if he will have the same fate.

but I'll defend her right to say whatever she wants to my last breath. Her constituents elected her as their voice, not Donald Trump's, or Lindsey Graham's, or Mitch McConnell's, or any number of other un-American racist republicans. That's the message our democratic leaders should be sending out to everyone right now.

Fwiw, though, I see no indication Trump has any ideology besides himself and suspect running a fascist state would be way too much trouble for him -- left to himself, which he wouldn't be. But he'd be much better suited to being an absolute dictator who didn't care what his people did or happened to them as long as they feared him and leaped to attention and ostentatious displays of adoration whenever he wanted.
