MADELEINE ALBRIGHT: Will we stop Trump before it's too late?
I thought she was dead, or is it just that she smells that way?
Quote:On April 28, 1945 — 73 years ago — Italians hung the corpse of their former dictator Benito Mussolini upside down next to a gas station in Milan. Two days later, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his bunker beneath the streets of war-ravaged Berlin. Fascism, it appeared, was dead.
Meanwhile, the possibility that fascism will be accorded a fresh chance to strut around the world stage is enhanced by the volatile presidency of Donald Trump.
If freedom is to prevail over the many challenges to it, American leadership is urgently required. This was among the indelible lessons of the 20th century. But by what he has said, done and failed to do, Mr. Trump has steadily diminished America’s positive clout in global councils.
Equally alarming is the chance that Mr. Trump will set in motion events that neither he nor anyone else can control. His policy toward North Korea changes by the day and might quickly return to saber-rattling should Pyongyang prove stubborn before or during talks.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Was Albright not front and center when the Clinton Administration handed N. Korea the keys to grow their nuclear weapons program?

Madeleine Notsobright writes an anti-Trump opinion piece in the NY Times. On the one hand that is to be expected but on the other for her to mention Mussolini and Hitler as a warning is beyond rationality. Don't choke on that sourpuss juice...

Holy Crap! The Walking Dead!

Quote:If you want to understand why so many Trump supporters are so disparaging of so-called "elites," you need look no further than former secretary of state Madeline Albright's column in the New York Times on Friday.
In her article, Albright assails the Trump administration for its supposedly fascist bent and calls on Americans to rise up in defense of liberal values. "What is to be done?" Albright asks, Well, first, she says, "defend the truth. A free press, for example, is not the enemy of the American people; it is the protector of the American people. Second, we must reinforce the principle that no one, not even the president, is above the law. Third, we should each do our part to energize the democratic process by registering new voters, listening respectfully to those with whom we disagree, knocking on doors for favored candidates, and ignoring the cynical counsel: There’s nothing to be done."
No problem with that last point: we do need to disagree in civility.
That said, I suspect Albright's first two contentions will ring hollow to many Americans. For a start, many observers of the media would likely contend that Albright's conception of "the truth" as it pertains to media reporting is not so absolute in its objective merit. By claiming so confidently that the mainstream media is collectively objective and implying that its critics are evil authoritarians, Albright isn't exactly "listening respectfully to those with whom we disagree. Media bias, after all, is very real and affects matters both significant and somewhat silly.

The DC swamp has been putting themselves and their families first and us last for 30 years. They have sold our technology and moved trillions of dollars of American middle-class wealth to the highest overseas bidder.

That is so telling and hypocritical of Notsobright. She dogs the POTUS with fear mongering for "spreading global fascism" and yet she sucks from the financial teet of China that has it's own historical issues of human rights violations and an oppressive government. What's that Bible verse about not looking at the log in your own eye?

Senator Mitch McConnell's wife's family owns a Chinese maritime shipping firm that is partly owned by the Chinese communist government. Swamp could careless about US middle-class.
