dictatorship had a law against "criticizing the head of state." I thought, wow, what a travesty, and our country does not have such a law and never will. The Orange Baboon thinks a country he would refer to as a "shithole" has it right.

Is Mueller's clearance gone soon also?

Fascism does not need a majority – it typically comes to power with about 40 per cent support and then uses control and intimidation to consolidate that power. So it doesn’t matter if most people hate you, as long as your 40 per cent is fanatically committed. That’s been tested out too.


40% - he has held steady close to this number. ~gape.
