The man is corrupt and unfit. Simply remove him and move on. Admit, He's the wrong answer for America. Hilarious you talk about echo chambers then say this - of which there is no evidence to support any of it. Dangerous authoritarians work to consolidate their power. Trump has worked to decentralize federal power. You're wrong. And spewing emotional talking points that align with your chosen echo chamber. Sad. 1

Hitler was genuine. FDR was more of a demagogue than Hitler — but clearly I’m an FDR fan whereas I am not a Hitler fan.

First definition that Googlebot brings up is a perfect definition of Trump (and most other populists) a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.

The real question is why Putin helped is helping him? Your "Whataboutism" on Clinton foundation is silly. You hit a "whataboutism, a distracting question and an unprovable fact all in one post!! Nice job, you Trump lover. "Whataboutism" is the left's new favorite word. It means you have effectively pointed out that they are completely full of sh!t and they have no answer for it. 1

Trump being compromised by murderer Putin has nothing at all to do with the person Conservatives have been conditioned to have an emotional reaction to, namely Hillary.

It does when the claims (without evidence) of said compromise originates from political opposition research paid for by Clinton and which relied upon Putin's intelligence officers feeding a middle man dirt.

Sad. Not HIS federal power. You're off your rocker. If Trump was so hell bent on doing what you say, he'd respect the checks and balances built into the Constitution. Trump is Tito in Yugoslavia.

The Senate report was bipartisan and you keep claiming all this bias about Trump's Russia problems, but no one made him tell all those lies. Why did Trump lie so much about Russia? Why is Putin helping Trump? Why would he do that?

His federal power has been greatly decentralized in his first two years from where Obama left it. Your theory is wrong on every level, including the lack of evidence to support it. Authoritarian dictators do not give up their power, they strengthen it. And there's zero evidence to support treason/collusion/or that he's a dictator in waiting. You're pushing a baseless conspiracy theory because you've been brainwashed by known liars and perjurers into believing that anyone who dares to think differently from the establishment DC foreign policy agenda must never be allowed to hold power... that's what this has always been about, and your failure to understand that is why you're so lost on this subject. 1

The bolded is why I claim he's not. I mean he lost the popular vote due to his ideas. Many of his ideas are NOT popular which is why he receives the constant backlash. But, I concede that the man NEVER uses a rational argument. But I think it's because he's incapable of such a thing. Listening to him talk is like watching a squirrel cross the road. Ya never can follow or guess his direction.

If you have none, which you don't because none exists, you are a "conspiracy theorist" - blindly believing a story told to you by others with zero evidence, and completely unwilling or unable to engage with any evidence that runs counter to your preformed conclusions.

McCarthy's tweet represents neither a check nor a balance on the presidency. Nor does the FBI raiding Cohen's office. Try again. Use the big hint I just gave you...
