[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a MAGA acquaintance last night. She's still cool with Trump because he's "getting things done" and all those "illegals" are being deported and the border is finally under control. She thinks DOGE is saving us lots of money and Elon's little boy is so cute.

She doesn't see anything authoritarian going on - especially after all the terrible things Obama and Biden did.

Just look at the Fox News webpage - they don't even try to pretend to report the news anymore.

That’s the problem OP.  MAGA only gets the news from right wing media.  So when they interact with the rest of the world, they think “the libs are losing it.” I have no idea if there is even a solution. I don’t think anyone at Fox is going to have a change of heart and tell the truth. [/quote]

I get my news from the Washington Post and WSJ.

I don’t agree with every single cut that’s happened but I also don’t think that reducing the size of the federal government = authoritarianism. Get a grip. [/quote]

No, but attacking your “political” opponents by taking away their security details, clearances, their lawyers ability to represent them is. So it firing law enforcement people who did their job by taking the case assigned to them. And let’s not forget banning the AP for the Gulf of Mexico mess. Or threatening MSNBC and others for being “mean” to him. That is authoritarianism.   [/quote]

If Biden is senile or of a diminishing mind, he shouldn’t have a security clearance. Especially since he was absent minded regarding some classified papers in his garage.

Security clearances for former presidents, are courtesies. [/quote]

Way more people than Biden. It is pure revenge.

It’s not revenge. It’s protection of the President’s agenda. Which, Trump is entitled to as POTUS.

DP. It is obviously petty and vindictive, no matter how you want to spin it.  His behavior should worry you, if you have any sense of morals and ethics.

Was it petty and vindictive when Biden did it in 2021? Did it worry you then? From the article above:

[quote] In 2021, then-President Biden barred then-former President Donald Trump access to intelligence briefings, arguing that Trump could not be trusted because of his "erratic behavior."
Since returning to office, Trump on Friday said he was doing the same to his predecessor, blaming Biden for setting the precedent and ending a courtesy traditionally provided to former presidents.[/quote]

If it’s such a horrible thing, where was your outrage then?[/quote]

Jesus Christ, do you remember January 2020??  We were wondering if the Capitol might blow up.[/quote]

No we were not, we were worried about Covid. Do YOU remember Jan. 2020?[/quote]

Oh I think you don't remember.
Jan 2020 even FOX had the decency to be shocked, before they all got their orders beamed down from the mothership that nothing happened at the Capitol.

[/quote]

Haha

So you clearly don’t remember January of 2020.

Hint:  the election was in NOVEMBER OF 2020.[/quote]
