...and yet, from your posts, your grasp seems to be based on a very "narrow" field of view defined by certain cliches of what it means to be American, that you have embraced wholeheartedly...Male, White, Anglo-Saxon, Gun happy, Patriarchal, Testosterone loaded...to name a few. I have probably been exposed to a more diverse version of Americana than you.

The white nationalist view of America certainly is much different than the views of the vast majority of Americans.

No. There was no line.
Activating the 25th requires the vice-president’s signature.
There is absolutely no way Pence would sign a letter asserting Trump needs to stripped of the presidency. Trump could put his clothes on inside out while screaming “I’m cuckoo for CocoaPuffs” and Pence would not sign.

As has been pointed out by others, our system of checks and balances requires officials to act in a gentlemanly manner while placing the needs to the country first.
How do the Republicans describe stuff like that? Oh yeah, “how quaint.”

"Vast majority?" That would leave a tiny minority on the other side. But no. The problem is that a substantial minority does subscribe to those views, even if they wouldn't use those terms, as evidenced by their blind, reflexive support for Donald Trump.

Bannon and others counsel, "Just say 'Nationalist.' Leave out 'white.' (Doesn't play well.)" They definitely seem to be a substantial minority. And they are busy working on ways to win the next presidential election with a minority of the vote.

Exactly what civics teachers have been warning kids about for the past seventy years. Now it's here. My old civics teacher Mrs. Ross must be turning over in her grave. :(

Yeah...sad, but true.
 
Trump reportedly offers Lynda Blanchard endorsement against Kay Ivey if she’ll drop Alabama Senate run


Former President Donald Trump has discussed giving his endorsement to U.S. Senate candidate Lynda Blanchard if she drops her bid and runs for governor against Kay Ivey, according to a report published Friday.

Trump is said to be unhappy with Ivey, whom he blames for the cancellation of a July 3 “Freedom Rally” at USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, according to the story in the Wall Street Journal.

Short version: Trump blames Alabama Governor Kay Ivey for not being allowed to have a rally at USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile. In reality:

The rally had been rejected by the USS Alabama Battleship Commission amid some commissioners’ concerns that about the legality of hosting an event that could be construed as “partisan,” which they believed violates Alabama state law.

A spokeswoman for the governor told the Wall Street Journal that she did not play a role in the rejecting the July 4th weekend Mobile rally that was to be a celebration of military veterans attended by Trump.

Blanchard was Trump’s ambassador to Slovenia. She is facing off against Congressman Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, whom the former president has endorsed, and ex-Richard Shelby Chief of Staff Katie Britt.

Once again, if you don't show absolutely blind loyalty to the orange weasel, or even if it's not your fault but he thinks it is, you're just scum in his eyes. L'état, c'est moi

Clearly, it was her fault, though? She didn't actively work to involve herself and break the law to give him what he wanted, unlike other Republican stooges.

He's the most petty, childish, vengeful POS I've ever seen.

As usual, the ISF contingent is keeping it classy when it comes to Trump. Now advocating for his public execution. :thumbsup:

Your knowledge of history, and/or failure to research anything, is plainly evident. People learn from history. Why don't you?

Mussolini was not executed in public. He was shot beside the road against the garden wall of a small hotel in northern Italy, whence he had fled a few days earlier. It was done early in the morning in a completely private "ceremony" attended by only a handful of people, primarily Italian patriot fighters who found and captured him. The public display of his corpse was after he and Petacci were dead. Many Italians, "his people", came to ensure it was true he was dead, and to celebrate that fact. Clearly the previous "love" for "their favourite president" was gone.

Trump is emulating Mussolini. Even looks a lot like him. I'm not advocating for anything at all... ;)

Exactly. Wasn't it the "patriots" on Jan. 6 who erected a gallows and were shouting "Hang Mike Pence"? Wasn't it GOP Rep. Gosar who finds his 'cartoon' of killing AOC and attacking Biden "funny"? Wasn't it the majority of GOP House Members who voted against censuring him? Why, yes...yes it was.

These same patriots will probably end up dis-endorsing Trump for not being Trumpy enough. ;)
 
Yes but it's an "honorary" black belt. From the Daily Mail article:
The president of Kukkiwon, Lee Dong-seop, went to visit Trump at his home in Mar-a-lago in Palm Beach, Florida this weekend to give him a taekwondo and the coveted black belt. 'I heard that the Donald Trump is highly interested in taekwondo,' Lee said. 'It is my pleasure and honor to receive this honorary certificate. Taekwondo is a great martial art for protecting oneself in these times,' Trump said.

Pay-per-view? trump 'fighting' a legitimate taekwondo fighter. I'd pay to see that! ;)
