European newspaper cover nails it

[True Dough]

I appreciate how forthright they are:



And from their website:

1. Tfg & rethugs are such terrible embarrassments

[True Dough]

2. To be clear,

the edition above is from January. The latest cover is this one, also rather powerful:

[wordstroken]

13. Creepy scary!

[Trueblue Texan]

20. Scary, yes, but excellent in communicating the danger! nt

[wordstroken]

23. Absolutely!

[CaptainTruth]

22. I've been thinking he's more like Caligula.

[brush]

27. Nero IMO as trump has yet threaten to appoint a horse as Consul.

It's early yet though.

[synni]

3. Notice where they put the text?

To look like a certain mustache...?

[True Dough]

4. That certainly appears

to be the message!

[wordstroken]

12. Yep, that jumped out at me, too!

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

17. Thanks...

I had not noted that!

5. Europe has a long history of Dictators.

They are wise to the early signs.
They saw Dictator Trump coming long before the American public did.

Pity Trump isn't a student of history, with the effects and the eventual fate of dictators evident in European history books.

30. The last photos

Of Mussolini come to mind...

[Mysterian]

6. I'm ashamed of my country

It's a terrible feeling.

[liberalla]

15. I know what you mean. I'm so disappointed, ashamed and

embarrassed....

OH! ...and ANGRY, too

[tazcat]

7. hitler has been drumpf's hero for decades

following his vile father who was the msg nazi/kkk rally - ask Ivana oh, right, that problem is conveniently out of the way.

[Aussie105]

9. Nobody noticed!

Or didn't care.

Or thought . . . not in America! We are better than that! (Apparently not.)

[Aussie105]

8. Where to from here?

Resistance, obstruction, civil unrest? Worse?

The road back to normal Democracy (warts and all) will be a long one.

Not a perfect government, but better than the cup of hemlock Trump is offering.

10. It's a European newspaper in the sense that it's a British newspaper

It was founded in response to the Brexit referendum result in 2016, its first issue being published just a month after the vote. It was originally slated to be limited to four issues, but was more successful than expected and has found funding from a variety of shareholders.

It's usually available on newsstands in places like supermarkets, though it's built up more of an online presence in recent years, where it now ranks seventh in UK political brands.

I've bought it on a few occasions, and it's generally a good read, and quite a refreshing change in its pro-European and pro-EU stances.

11. Nailed it.

14. America's Hitler

he is nothing but a weak SF. I'm waiting for someone or a lot of us to call him out.

[liberalla]

16. Excellent! and that American Caesar cover is great too!

[spanone]

18. trmp has made us the bad guys....

[surfered]

19. Trump makes me embarrassed to say I'm an American.

[bagimin]

21. And his republican enablers

make it so much worse.

[Gary 50]

24. 49.9% of the voters chose this pig.

They deserve the shitstorm. Half of the American people are idiots. You can't have a functioning democracy if half the people are brain dead. We are now the pariah of the world's nations. God, please let this nightmare end!

[NJCher]

25. No, they didn't

We've been through this a million times on this forum. More like 32%. If you want to see the numbers, I have them in my file. The error is in counting the people who didn't vote. Of course, the non-voters are schmucks, but they didn't overtly vote for him. Let's not give him any credit he isn't due.

I agree with the rest of your post, though.

28. That is why the Founders feared "mob rule" meaning rule by the masses

That's why there is Electoral College, and Senators were originally chosen by State legislators instead of direct election. Only men of property could vote, the idea being they had direct investment in the well-being of the country. These were the perpectives of the ruling classes at the time.

The Achilles heel of democracy is the lack of intelligence and awareness, and apathy of, the masses.

26. Disgusting

Can't stand looking at his mug

[canetoad]
