Funny, but I heard a leftist last week suggest the government would nuke gun owners for not giving up their guns. Hopefully those military guys who would launch the nukes ignore the lunatic democrats and uphold the constitution.

of course shes gonna say that, she's a politician, she wishes she could send Maduro's dogs out to squash some conservative heads at the same time, is there any doubt? The Nazi's never had the majority of the folks before Hitler took over, either, but assassinate the right folks and intimidate the others, then boom the socialist take over.

“You understand that 2+2=4, right?”

“Yes, but lemons are NOT purple.”

“No, they are not, but how the actual frick is that relevant to basic addition”

“I have no idea, but I REALLY wanted to say it.”

Do you not see how a person can have a problem with DJT demanding personal loyalty as well as Maduro doing this?

These two things don’t seem mutually exclusive at all.

Maduro will have a hard time matching Obama's military purges.

Idiot Keyser: Of course she's going to say that, she's a politician, but I know what she truly thinks, blah, blah, blah, literally Hitler.

Venezuela is a total mess. Do you want to model anything after Venezuela? Why?

It's one thing to fire people for not being loyal. It's another to arrest them. If you can't understand the distinction then I don't know what to tell you.

Dems excoriate Trump for demanding loyalty but other world leaders literally throw disloyalists in jail and they don't say shite about it.


You just haven't been paying attention. Plenty of Democrats are not Maduro fans at all and never were.

There were some who were (e.g. Sean Penn) but they seem to not be so active anymore.

Trump demands loyalty or else you'll lose your job. Maduro demands loyalty or you'll wind up in prison. There is no comparing the two.


While I agree with your point, Trump hasn't even "demanded loyalty or else they'll lose their job" to anyone except MAYBE Comey, and even that was questionable.

Asking a guy that leads one of your institutions, has to work closely with you, and who's shown a preference for your opponent if they'll have your back now that you're in office and his boss is a little different than just demanding loyalty and threatening his job.

Trump basically asked Comey if he would work for him and have his back as well as he would've for someone he preferred and didn't like the answers he got in the long run.

Other than that, there hasn't been much else about Trump asking for anyone's loyalty and I think he probably learned from the whole Comey situation.

I love the leftists with their, "Duh, nobody here supports that."

Their fricking policies are exactly what Venezuela has done, right down to demonizing their opposition.

The kook fringe left controls the democrat party so anybody who votes dem supports kook fringe left ideas.

I have a problem with a person defending Maduro, communism and starving human being to death in the name of politics. Which is what leftists in America are reduced too. Among you sicko's it is politically correct to defend socialism even if destroys a civilization.

GIVE ME MOAR QUESTION MARKS


Actually, the OP was trying to point out hypocrisy in a roundabout sort of way that didn't entirely land.

Wtf are you talking about? Liberals don't like authoritarian governments even more than you do. Hell, Donald Trump has slobbed the knob of about 3 different dictators so far. You pretending like Liberals are okay with 200 reporters being jailed is the most ridiculous thing ive heard. It's probably why so many of your beliefs are so retarded. You're not able to make sound reasoning decisions

What if the leader is loyal to his country and asks his thiefing, lying subordinate to be loyal to it as well???
