And so the new Congress takes charge with the spotlight on Nancy Pelosi and the democrat takeover of the House.
Funny how the fears of Trump fascism aren't talked about now since our democracy held serve in off-year elections like they normally do.
"Fascism: A Warning" by Madeline Albright, a New York Times Best Seller two years ago, is not even a seller now.
How did the Trump the autocrat derail democracy?  Uh, he didn't.  Nor did he try to.
Elijah Cummings, the new House Oversight Chairman, was on 60 minutes yesterday.
His priorities?
The high cost of prescription drugs and the misuse of private aircraft by Cabinet officials.
Sounds like business as usual in DC.
Remember " How Democracies Die" by Harvard intellectuals ?  Another best seller comparing
Trump to the autocracies that befell Hungary and Turkey.  The authors now admit " American  democracy is not dying". 
No shit.

That's the problem - the Cabinet is exactly following the "business as usual" model for GOP administrations. Swampy.

Every "factual" "posy" you make about this wonderful economy that ignores the deficit is laughable political hackery especially since it comes from the poster who introduced the term "socialist cocksucker" to this Board.
Huh?
Not sure I can be any clearer. Sorry. You're on your own.
Thankfully.
America is too.
Are those factual statements?

Move along, nothing to see here. And Red got his tax cut and pro-life justices!
And you got a booming economy, record unemployment, (especially for blacks and hispanics) 3 per economic growth, 3 per cent wages increase, and low inflation.  Thanks for asking.

All straight continuations of trends from his predecessor.
There is no continuation. If there was Hillary would be President.

Lol. REDSTATEWARD touts his use of “facts” than has none when he gets real ones in response. Quoting the Wall Street Journal has its limits, clearly.

Held serve?

Shit if it had been a squeaker and Dems had a couple seat majority there’d been room for all kinds of chicanery. If the GOP had held the House they’d have called for Anschluss!

But since the nation resoundingly kicked GOP ass across the board it is no longer a question if the nation will survive Trump, it’s now just a matter of time before Trump and the GOP go down in flames.

To you?

Never.

To this Cabinet? It's pretty obvious that I'm paying more attention to them than you are.

You are so busy ignoring your racist party that it is impossible for you to be honest about what is going on with this administration.

I post positives, on the rare occasions when there are any. You? Crickets about the bigotry that goes on on a daily basis. And you keep singing the praises of the economy, while ignoring anything deeper than the simplest numbers.

We see you jackboots, Red. Nice bloody stains you’ve worked in.

Yes America is still under threat from fascists. The fascists are all under the racist republican banner. More than a few fascists have key spots in the administration. Miller and Nielsen being high profile fascists of note, along with trump and Pence.

Privatization of public goods may have provided a momentary economic sugar high. It will be followed shortly by trump & Putin’s long deep crash.

The things you love are poison, Red.

Educate yourself a little before spouting more bullshit here again.

No shit.

Anything in that post you think merits a response?

“Trump’s incompetence is a good thing for democracy,” Levitsky said. “He has authoritarian inclinations, but he hasn’t been able to put them into practice.”

If that’s what you are celebrating, you are sunk.

Levitsky also credits the courts, mueller probe and the media for keeping Trump in check.

Notice who he doesn’t credit?  A Republican Congress that gave him a pass on anything and everything, congressmen who still cover for Trump on Russia when they have zero idea what they are covering up.

That people have faith in Democracy with Democrats more in charge?  Again, you think that makes your case?

lol.

The facts you cite don’t make the case you are trying to make. And when that is pointed out to you all you can come back with is “scoreboard!”

Usual weak stuff from you REDSTATEWARD. Again, you can’t take an argument further after you parrot the one the Wall Street Journal handed you. 

You side had no real representation on this board, and really, that’s a shame.
