More the earlier Fascist il Duce
I really think the comparison between Donald Trump and il Duce is far closer; Trumps behavior, positions, mannerisms, facial expressions, speaking style, gestures and carriage are far closer to what was recorded of Benito Mussolini then of Adolf Hitler. In addition, Trump even recycles some of Benito's material.
But il Donald has more hair.

Re: More the earlier Fascist il Duce
Look at the image of il Donald in Moose's post below yours.

Unfortunately actual history shows us the the US Constitution does not prevent US Presidents from genocide, ethnic cleansing, funding terrorists, domestic spying, redacting prisoners, torture, using US Military against US civilian populations, overthrowing foreign governments and heir duly elected heads of state or invasion of nations without a declaration of a state of war and based on flimsy made up excuses.

Re: Trump vs the Geneva Convention
It is a frightening replay it seems; the first modern use of chemical warfare in violation of the Geneva Protocol was il Duce using it in Ethiopia just before WWII. It was said it was needed to beat the savages who were standing up to the invaders even though the savages had no modern weapons, air power or navy. Il Duce claimed it was not a lethal agent since Mustard gas was only a blistering agent and was justified anyway as simply a reprisal since it was claimed that Ethiopians had tortured or killed prisoners.

Re: Overdoing the Comparison
Actually it was Trump that first brought up and in fact adopted the comparison between himself and Mussolini in his famous "Build a Wall" speech. He also compared himself to another famous Fascist dictator; Generalissimo Franco.

Re: "Great Honor" For Trump
But so far even the unsupported assertions from that right-wing fascist group do not show any threat or really anything that might not also be true had they surveyed US Christians.

And again, they could give us ALL the Christian refugees. Why won't they do that?
What evidence is there that Christian refugees would be any lesser threat than Muslim refugees?
Remember there is absolutely no evidence that any immigrants are more likely to commit a violent crime than natural US Citizens.

Re: The Two Donald Trumps
Maybe he'll be worse. He's never held office, so all we really know about him is that he's good at bankrupting companies.
No, we also know he is very good at protecting his own ass while he bankrupts companies.

We could start by admitting all the Christians looking for asylum, there is no reason to exclude them, they aren't going to turn into jihadists.
While they may not turn in jihadists they may well turn into terrorists, rapists, murderers, conmen, fanatics, bigots, burglars, robbers ...
Faith, all of the evidence shows that Muslims are no greater threat than Christians or any other demographic group just as all of the evidence shows that immigrants, illegal or legal, pose no greater threat of physical violence than citizens in general and the general population.

Folk have a hard time identify lies when the lie is what they want to hear.
Faith writes:
It shouldn't be too hard to find out by interviewing people which are telling the truth or not.
Interviews of Donald Trump as well as his speeches show that he does not tell the truth and in fact seems to prefer not telling the truth yet there seem to be many who cannot tell that he is a inveterate and consummate liar.

Faith writes:
Some well chosen questions ought to reveal a jihadist mindset.
Again, why is a jihadist more to be feared than a Christian terrorist, murderer, rapist, drug dealer, burglar, robber, conman ...
When folk can't seem to recognize a consummate inveterate liar using some well chosen questions what makes you think they would detect a jihadist mindset?
Edited by jar, : left out the word detect.

an example of prefering the lies that say what you want to hear.
Faith writes:
Christianity does not teach violence.
I'm not going to check your biased references. Let's guess that it's mostly the usual stuff that ascribes Roman Catholic murders to Christians. Rome doesn't follow the Bible, they follow pagan superstitions so their violence is not Christian.
A great example of denial of truth and preferring falsehoods.
It is comforting to simply deny the truth that Christianity has been spread by violence and force and that Christianity has been the most successful practitioners of genocide in the history of the world.

More endorsements from the sum bunch for Trump
And now the man who most represents the very worst about American sports, Pete Rose, has come out and endorsed il Donald.
There may well be scum stuck even on the bottom of the bottom of the barrel but it will be hard to find someone lower than Pete Rose.

Re: Muslims Burning Cars in France
Thinking Islam plans a jihad of burning cars as a threat to the world.
Sheesh.
That is not paranoia; it's just stupid.
