Rubio Compares Trump to 3rd World Strongman

Here’s what happens in many countries around the world: You have a leader that emerges and basically says, “Don’t put your faith in yourselves. Don’t put your faith in society. Put your faith in me. I’m a strong leader and I’m gonna make things better all by myself.” This is very typical. You see it in the Third World, you see it a lot in Latin America for decades.
Basically, the argument he’s making is that he single-handedly is gonna turn the country around. We’ve never been that kind of country. We have a president. The president is an American citizen who serves for a period of time, constrained by the constitution and the powers vested in that office. The president works for the people not the people the president and if you listen to the way he describes himself and what he’s going to do, he’s going to single-handedly do this and do that without regard to whether it’s legal or not.
Look. I think people are going to have to make up their minds. I can tell you this: no matter what happens in this election, for years to come there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump, because this is not gonna end well.

At this point I've just got to ask myself how far to the ultra-fringe-right I can push Second if given enough time.
Let's see...
We've got him posting about religion in a positive light every other day now. He was in full support of the Cheney family in the months leading up to the election. He posts online at least once per week about who should be murdered this week.
Is it any wonder why GenZ hates the Democratic Party and cringes hard any time one of them talk?

Quote:“That was some weird shit,” George Bush said about Trump. That doesn't mean I approve of Bush, but Trumptard 6ix weirdly thinks different. Weird shit is an excellent description of all Trumptard behavior.

Some would argue that thinking it was a good idea to run on a dual-platform of Privatizing Social Security and Banning Gay Marriage would make a mindless Lefty headline-reader-bot question how prudent it would be to use that person's words and judgement as a good choice to bolster their own argument 21 years later in 2025. Especially after doing the same thing with the Cheney family before the election turned out the way that it did. And certainly, especially when the headline-reader-bot already possesses the data that the human being they are interacting with cares not whatsoever for George W. Bush or anything he's ever had to say about any topic.
But we're still dealing with pretty unsophisticated AI when it comes to the Second-Bot and the mindless articles it scrapes off the internet.
Keep watching your party circle the drain and wondering why you're completely powerless to do anything about it, drone.

And of course he has helped put Donald Trump in charge of the USA—which is the most stupendous Russian strategic victory of the last 150 years.
So as a war leader he is a contrast of extremes. This week might have been another. Basically, Donald Trump and his team handed Putin on a plate a close-to-ideal ceasefire plan for Putin—and the Russian leader did not say yes. In doing so Putin might very well have miscalculated about Russian strength, how far the US will go to help him, and the state of Ukraine. It could be a fateful error.
The elements of the Trump plan for Russia were so generous to Putin, that its slightly baffling that the Russian dictator did not take them up immediately—particularly as the one thing he seemed to have to agree to get all these goodies was a cease-fire for 30 days or so (which the Russian military needs btw). What Trump was offering him was extraordinary when you consider it as a package:
• US de jure recognition of the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea.
• US de facto recognition of all other Russian conquests
• A plan to quickly relax or even end sanctions on the Russian economy
• The return of seized Russian assets (at least those under US control)
• A pledge that Ukraine will not join NATO
• No other substantial US security commitment for Ukraine.
The Crimea point alone was a massive concession to Putin. If the USA recognizes Russian legal control of Crimea, you can be sure that much of the rest of the world outside of Europe (and that includes China) would do so as well. It would legalize in much of the world changing borders in Europe through invasion.

Trump’s gaudy-awful Oval Office is all too American
George Will WaPo

When the 47th president does something right, he repents by doing something that contradicts it. Consider his excellent executive order about the importance of aesthetic good taste in governance, and his subsequent redecoration of the Oval Office.
Issued during the blizzard of orders in his first full day in office, “Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture,” was thoughtful and sensible. Making amends for this, the president has redecorated the Oval Office. The style, which is not for the squeamish, is best described (actually, it is best not described, but here goes) as: “The Atlantic-City-Aspiring-to-be-Las-Vegas School of Interior Design.” Or (intellectual whiplash warning) Founding Fathers Bling. In short: Maximalism.
The president evidently likes working inside a Faberge egg. For readers of the Washington Post, Carolina A. Miranda, a talented cultural journalist, has described the new Oval Office, stuffed with stuff:
The mantel is adorned by seven gold examples of authentic bric-a-brac. Gold floral moldings are stuck here and there. Gold angels. Gold eagles on side tables. Gold coasters. Gold medallions on the fireplace. Gilded mirrors on the doors and gilded frames for about 20 paintings, more than triple the number Biden had, so there. Gold cherubs imported from Mar-a-Lago, which is probably still is not destitute of them. Gold coasters. A large gold block paperweight inscribed with TRUMP, in case he momentarily forgets to think about himself.
Miranda finds this sinister. And she bills the decor as “un-American.” If only.
We have a national knack for wretched excess, of which Super Bowl halftime shows are, amazingly, not the most vivid eruptions. Remember Detroit’s 1950s land yachts: The 1956 Chrysler Imperial and the 1958 Lincoln Premiere were 19 feet long. What is more vulgar than 21st-century State of the Union addresses?
Benjamin Franklin pointedly wore clothes of homespun cloth to the Court of St. James’, and Thomas Jefferson sometimes wore slippers when receiving presidential visitors. Nowadays, however, Americans enjoy leavening republican simplicity with touchingly absurd attempts at grandeur: There are, surely, communities where Kiwanis Club lunches are held in Holiday Inns’ Versailles Rooms, cheek-by-jowl with hardware stores and grain silos.
What has become of the aesthete who issued the Day 1 presidential order on “beautiful federal civic architecture”? The president said: “Federal public buildings should be visually identifiable as civic buildings and respect regional, traditional, and classical architectural heritage in order to uplift and beautify public spaces and ennoble the United States and our system of self-government.” Quite right.
Recently Paul Zepeda, an architecture student at Catholic University, writing for Civitas Outlook of the University of Texas at Austin’s Civitas Institute, noted that the current president was reversing his predecessor’s reversal of a 2020 executive order. Cue the “here-comes-Hitler” warnings. (He did have an unhealthy interest in overbearing architecture that diminished the individual relative to the state.)
And critics of the president’s January order issued somber warnings about attacks on “design freedom.”
“Design freedom,” which has often meant indifference to design, has blighted Washington with durable examples of brutalist architecture, such as the FBI Building on Pennsylvania Avenue. Might such architecture foment in citizens a sense of alienation from their government?
In October 1943, after German bombs destroyed the House of Commons, Prime Minister Winston Churchill insisted on rebuilding it with its traditional rectangular, and adversarial, arrangement rather than the semicircular design favored by many legislatures (including the U.S. Congress). Churchill thought it supported the temperateness of a two-part
