Fascism is arresting your political opponents. Trump and Barr are Fascist.

These are Fascist mafia-like criminals but where is the opposition party? They should be all over this garbage 24/7! Even if Biden wins, this must be addressed so that the USA does not wind up with freaks like Trump and Barr again who will overstep legal, patriotic and Democratic bounds. What next? Poisoning dissenters?

 

Fascism is a coup like the one attempted to get Trump out of the Whitehouse.

 

How refreshing to see dems take a sudden interest in preventing the abuse of power. You opposed the whole impeachment thing, right?

 

And who is going around and physically attacking people for the support of Trump? Hypocrisy much?

 

bizzaro world is no longer just in old Superman comics.. it is in the demo party.

 

The police are fascists. They're arresting innocent people wielding firebombs and baseball bats.

 

Fascism is 4 years of escalating protests and riots because you refuse to accept election results.

 

Within the chest of every right wing phony-Christian Evangelical beats the heart of a Fascist.

 

Heh. Anonymous sources told the "progressive" fascists at The New Duranty Times that Bill Barr asked officials at the Justice Department to consider bringing charges against Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan?

"Progressive" fascists lie all the time...

 

So

someone protesting is an excuse to jail your opponents on trumped up charges?

 

Go back and re-read what I typed ok. Because what they're doing isn't protesting.

 

What did the Soviets call their totalitarian fellow travelers in the West?

"Progressives"

 

Within the chest of every phony "progressive" Leftist beats the heart of a Fascist:

 

I was tempted to report this post but I think it is better just to allow everyone to see bigotry first hand.

 

Hate to break it to you, but this has been DEBUNKED:

The U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington issued a statement early Thursday denying an explosive report that claimed Attorney General William Barr asked federal prosecutors to explore whether they could bring criminal charges against Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan for allowing the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) police-free protest zone that led to two fatal shootings.

Brian T. Moran, the federal prosecutor, said he has had multiple conversations with leadership inside within the Department of Justice and “at no time has anyone at the Department communicated to me that Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is, was or should be charged with any federal crime” related to CHOP.

“As U.S. Attorney I would be aware of such an investigation,” he said.

As usual, the New York Slimes lies...or just plain neglects to check the facts before spewing Anti-Trump crapola.

 

the Mayor of Seattle isn't the President or Barr's political rival...

Now Bob McDonnell was a direct threat to the Obama/Biden Admin and frontrunner for the RNC nomination .when he had Holder come up with false charges and a false prosecution ...tragic what happened

He wasn't the only one...and party didn't really matter either...remember when Bob Mendez spoke out against Obama/Biden's failed Iranian nuke deal? He got arrested too.

We have real cases of the Fasicst Obama and Biden using their office to arrest political rivals....you have Barr looking into seeing if there is any criminal liablity of a Mayor, that's isn't a rival to the President at any level.....sorry...you don't have a case...but your defination is certainly true, and more evidence not to vote for Biden

 

Sounds like poor little Jimmy is still bitter about being picked last for stick ball.

 

What coup?

 

We have long been taught that the U.S. political system has effective checks and balances. But in the past years, a frightening truth has emerged. Much of that balance has depended on the good character of the prez, and there are surprisingly few ways to check a malign prez like Individual 1 from abusing the enormous powers of his office.

 

Examples of Trump abusing his power would be?
Would it be refusing to enforce immigration law? Oh wait, that was Obama.

 

The term can be used in a looser sense, as applying it to someone who envy's fascists, and exhibits authoritarian tendencies, such as Barr and Trump.

Oh, and they do envy them. Read the writings of Barr, watch the words and deeds of Trump.

 

That would have put Pence, as president. No coup.

 

But as this thread has highlighted...it's not barr an trump doing that...in fact it was Biden, Obama and Holder.

 

Yet there are very few treatises written by responsible republicans published in legitimate journals with that as the theme.

This thread is hilarious. A debunked article full of errors that doesn't even stand up for half a day under scrutiny. These fasc-gressives really do to swallow this garbage hook line and sinker.
