Someone who changes their beliefs, not based on the strength of arguments, but rather on the desires of their audience, is not a politician nor a political commentator, they are an opportunistic grifter.

So too describes the difference between genuine left wing populism and right wing faux populism

The hallmark of the professional liar is how convincingly they lie to themselves.

He's 8 years late.

Until now he's been admonishing anyone warning about authoritarianism.

In anything resembling a real democracy Rick Scott would be about halfway through his prison term right now.

In the US, he's a Senator.

Definitely better, but he didn't prosecute the Bush Admin for their war crimes, let Wall St off for the mortgage crisis and increased illegal drone strikes.

It can credibly be argued that he opened the door to the Mango Mussolini by giving more of the same after promising Hope and Change.

First off, there will be no and never was going to be a Qatari military base on US soil.
Second, Saudis funded 9/11.
Third, Qatar aided in funneling cash to Hamas with Netanyahu's knowledge and blessing, some even say he requested it.

A near perfect example of everything wrong with the Democratic party and our complicit media.

Though I could never imagine her using the term 'bro', I have a sister who I could easily see writing such outrageous vitriol. Maybe some childhood events shaped the only MAGA member of our family, but she is a bitter, hateful person who admires mafia types.

Sorry that you must endure this.
