Is it as authoritarian as spying on the other candidate?  Making your DOJ create a narrative to undermine someone’s presidency? Steal an election? Try to incarcerate your political opponent on lame charges?  Raid your political opponent’s house without justification?  Is Trump that much of an authoritarian?

All you're doing is parroting what Trump and his cultists want you to believe, when what they really are doing is projecting. The election wasn't stolen. The DOJ didn't create anything to undermine Trump. The house raid was justified because he illegally brought home classified documents. Trump committed crimes, was convicted of some but dodged others because he became president. 

This came out in January 2024, and just look at all the stuff that came true:

Quote
  • Pardons to License Lawbreaking: During Trump’s first term, he discovered that he could leverage the pardon power to induce witnesses against him into silence. In a second term, he has indicated he would further abuse pardons to incite political violence, incentivize lawbreaking for his benefit, and render himself above the law.

  • Directing Investigations Against Critics and Rivals: Retribution is the dominant theme of Trump’s 2024 campaign, and his allies are making plans to eliminate the Department of Justice’s traditional prosecutorial independence to give Trump greater personal control to direct law enforcement against his perceived opponents and insulate himself from accountability.

  • Regulatory Retaliation: In addition to steering prosecutorial discretion via the Department of Justice, Trump has vowed to consolidate and wield federal regulatory power to reward political loyalty and punish his critics, particularly those associated with the media. There are numerous reports of this regulatory retaliation happening during Trump’s first term, and plans for a second include ways of removing those obstacles that limited opportunities for more. 

  • Federal Law Enforcement Overreach: Trump’s declaration that immigration is “poisoning the blood of our country” is a grim foreshadowing of how he will invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a wartime provision dating back to 1798. Once Trump has that power, he has also expressed his will to expand the footprint of federal law enforcement to police cities and shut down lawful protests.

  • Domestic Deployment of the Military: A central hallmark of American democracy is that the U.S. military not be used against American citizens. But Trump plans to abuse the Insurrection Act to order military force to quash dissent and target vulnerable communities. 

Open your eyes, man, and quit whatabouting wasn't so obvious.

Wait, the Trump campaign wasn’t spied on? What’s Tim talking about?

You dumb motherf@ckers have no idea what "dictator" even means.  FFS, can you guys just use words in the proper meaning and context?  Firing someone for poor job performance is not what "dictators" do.

This hyperventilating and hysteria you teenage girls have is absurd.  Get a f'n grip already. 

This from the focking idiot who doesn’t know what Marxism is.

Bill Beach, the former Trump-appointed BLS commissioner: 

“These numbers are constructed by hundreds of people. They’re finalized by about 40 people. These 40 people are very professional people who have served under Republicans and Democrats.

And the commissioner does not see these numbers until the Wednesday prior to the release on Friday. By that time, the numbers are completely set into the IT system. They have been programmed. They are simply reported to the commissioner, so the commissioner can on Thursday brief the president’s economic team.

The commissioner doesn’t have any hand or any influence or any way of even knowing the data until they’re completely done. That’s true of the unemployment rate. That’s true of the jobs numbers.”

Trump is lying to you, just like he does every day but you're to stupid to realize it.

Axelrod looked like a deformed overweight turtle in his prime.  He should probably sit out any body shaming. Especially, an athletic alpha gym rat like Father Trump.

Yeah, okay.  :lol:

He’s absolutely right. You’ve made a series of posts over the last few years which demonstrate your total ignorance on this subject. Worse, your errors have Ben explained to you in detail, many times , and you choose to repeat them anyhow. Impossible to take you seriously.

On the one hand she has been pretty bad at her job, the variance in terms of later corrections is pretty substantial.   But then again the process by which they conduct this analysis is just not well done, so it should not be surprising their numbers are completely unreliable.  Though.....again...the magnitude of error borders on insane.....

No he's not and you're not right either.  You two have established a gross ignorance on the subject and how it's affecting your party. 

The fact that you don't want to believe it doesn't make me wrong. It makes you wrong because you're unwilling to face the truth and want to revise history to try and exempt you and your party from it. 

It's not working now, it won't work in the future so you might as well give up the revisionist history.
