Quote:Then last weekend we saw group v group fighting. It wasn't a "battle" but it wasn't just rowdiness either. They were legitimately trying to win a group v group confrontation and that's damn dangerous. I'm not worried about WWIII, I am worried about a civil war a-la-kosovo. It starts with the extremes and then bit by bit the rest get dragged in and forced to take sides. I hope and I pray that it doesn't get worse but my gut tells me bleeding kansas v2.0 is just around the bend...
yeah that's a definite possibility.
I've never known any other political situaton where the winners are - if anything - more bitter and partisan than the losers.
Here's what i call a twilight zone moment:
Quote:But he's really not that bad.
He's broken so many laws/rules I've lost count. There are laws stopping presidents appointing their relatives to important posts in the government.
Apparently they don't apply to trump. He's done it and nobody has stopped him
This is where the dictator line comes in. He constantly does things that the american constitution and laws forbid. And there are never any consequences and he's not stopped. Those are the actions of a dictator.
Now given what's just happened in turkey - another twilight zone moment - where turkey just voted in their president as 'el presidente for life'.
Does anyone else see this happening in the states ?
The 2x 4 year term thing is part of the constitution, so no reason trump can't simply ignore it and declare himself president for life. Given what he's done already - who'd stop him ?
You might think it's unlikely - but this is the twilight zone and impossible things are happening all the time.
You can even excuses kim jong un in a way. From birth he was raised like an ancient egyptian pharoe. To believe he was a living god and people worshipped him. And when he got to the age where he understood what was going on around him - what do you know:, it was all true.
So his actions and behaviour were programmed into him from a very early age.
It's a nature versus nurture situation.
Trump is like he is by Nature.
And that's always more worrying.
