in the interests of perspective, we should remember that the Nobel Committee reacted to the election of Obama in a way that made that girl's mental breakdown look positively rational: they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize
and they were grown-ups

Trumps decision to skip the debate may hurt him or not. At this point I have no idea but the media smells blood and is on full attack mode against my buddy.
I agree with Puff that Trump has fascist tendancies, in the sense that he hits more than a few of Umberto Eco's 14 general properties of fascism pretty spot on. Not all of them though, so he might just be a narcissistic populist - time will tell (or actually hopefully it won't).plained wrote:really fascism?

"What is most interesting is that while people may be turned off by the content of Trump’s statements, they are so at ease with his persona of “truth telling” that what he is saying seems to matter less than the fact that he’s saying it. That means that we as a public can think that Trump is sexist, racist, or whatever the inflammatory comment du jour is, and still be more comfortable with him as a candidate because he appears to not be lying or hiding his feelings."
Love him or Hate him a surprising number of people support him. I personally cringe at what he says 50% of the time but I do recognize that America has crippling debt, has lost millions of jobs to China/Japan/Mexico and can no longer compete fairly on the world market. So for me it's about money and less about other people around the world, when your poor you have to watch out for number 1. Trump represents the feeling that it is time to think about America 1st because the wallet is empty and he can fix that.
I am swept up in this Trump mania because the economy and world markets have really hammered my industry "diamonds, oil and metals" and SELFISHLY I am hoping Trump can help fix that, Trudeau will not.
I will get hammered now but that's okay.
