Timing is suspect. We've known this for a long time.
- TulliusCicero 10y agoHow is it suspect? We now have a president with authoritarian tendencies, it makes sense to be worrying about this now.
- Shivetya 10y agothis entire article has no place on this site and the DNC through its sycophants and the press has been pressing the Hitler angle since before the swearing in. Do you feel like a parrot yet? This site is rapidly sliding into uselessness with all the direct and indirect political crap. apparently the rules don't apply when one side is upset. No one blinked an eye when the last President decided assassination of American citizens abroad was okay nor having investigations to include wiretaps of journalists.

- jdmichal 10y agoInterestingly, the article was flagged dead at one point but has apparently been restored. So there is at least some contingent that agrees with you.

- macintux 10y agoMany, many people were unhappy with the abuses of national security powers under Obama, including those who supported him in general. "No one blinked an eye" is palpably untrue. The problem with Trump is that he openly declared war on the defining characteristics of the United States even before he was elected. We are a nation of immigrants. We embed religious neutrality in our constitution. We cherish those who have served and died for our country in the military.
- macintux 10y agoOh, and we certainly don't throw those same allies who patrolled our skies after 9/11 under the Russian bus.
- davidkellis 10y agoThere's nothing new here. It's been like this for a long time. One person's despot is another's savior, and vice versa.
