Hallway.
And Whatserface can look at the current resident of the White Hut for a petty dictator.
Fears of Donald Trump as Fascist Echo Similar Warnings Against Ronald Reagan

I’m not telling anyone not to panic. But myself, I am just taking a deep breath or two and relaxing.
I will probably get called a Trump enabler, or worse, for saying so. Alas, telling people to calm down doesn’t generate the clicks or television ratings that the Trump panic does. But here — to help you sleep better, if nothing else — is a case that the alarm over Trump is probably overstated.
First of all, such Hitler hype has happened before, and been unwarranted. Steven Hayward, author of “The Age of Reagan,” recalls the rhetoric:
Democratic Rep. William Clay of Missouri charged that Reagan was “trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.”
The Los Angeles Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan plotting a fascist putsch in a darkened Munich beer hall. Harry Stein (later a conservative convert) wrote in Esquire that the voters who supported Reagan were like the “good Germans” in “Hitler’s Germany.”...
John Roth, a Holocaust scholar at Claremont College, wrote: “I could not help remembering how 40 years ago economic turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism—all intensified by Germany’s defeat in World War I—to send the world reeling into catastrophe. . . . It is not entirely mistaken to contemplate our post election state with fear and trembling.”

Only if you want to consider yourself a kindred spirit with Carter, Code Pink, and Farrakhan.
Exactly what I said about Obozo’s campaign. So far he has governed like that, only thing I have been wrong about so far was he didn’t intend to leave office. (Not done yet so still could happen)
Now you have insulted good and nice cows across America.
They always work out so well too. South Africa is doing great.
Don't do her any favors! She couldn't buy a date with a real man in this country.
Well whoopi the left is helbent on dictatorship. I guess this is our attempt to shape it to our liking.
This election is proving Godwin’s Law correct.
Trump has garnered more Hitler comparisons than anyone in human history.
And as Godwin’s Law stipulates, if you compare someone to Hitler, you lose.
Trump is winning like no one else, thus cementing Godwin’s Law as thoroughly legitimate.
Lol! The pics of Cruz and Rubio in that graphic make them look pathetic.
If “the dictatorship” rounds up people like Whoopi and locks them up then I’m all for it.
Shut up Whoopsie.
Oh, children!
strange, and here i thought being told ‘shut up and sit down. we won. get over it’ was the sign of a dick-taker
go away, oprah. don’t you have house shopping to do overseas?
