Scarborough Suggests that Trump Has Crossed the Rubicon into ‘Fascism’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/10/2016 5:51:56 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The opening segment of today’s Morning Joe was one long fusillade against Donald Trump in light of his remark yesterday that there is nothing people could do to stop a President Hillary from abolishing the Second Amendment, “although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

The single harshest criticism came from Joe Scarborough, who suggested that Trump had “crossed the Rubicon” into fascism. Scarborough said that in the past he had rejected use of the words “fascist” or “fascism” in reference to Trump because he had never made “a call to violence.” Scarborough asserted that Trump’s comments yesterday were a suggestion that “Second Amendment people” kill Hillary Clinton or judges. Concluded Scarborough: “he crossed a lot of Rubicons yesterday.”

Scarborough suggests Trump remark about “Second Amendment people” was a “call to violence” and that Trump has thus “crossed the Rubicon” into “fascism.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Left-wingers are the fascist. The protypical fascist Benito Mussolini started off as a socialist.

Scarborough has spent too much time with liberals and has become one.

Another way of looking at the 2nd Amendment is the whole “rulers rule with the consent of the governed”.

The 2nd Amendment exists because of the tendencies of rulers to murder people who withdraw their consent to be governed.

Sounds like projection of another Democrat (in disguise)
who murdered, and covered up the murder of, his intern.

Agree and disagree.

Agree that, imo, he would have sided with the British.

Disagree in that, imo, he would not have fought. He would have been an informer, ratting out patriots.

Of course--somebody at the top has to direct traffic. And, be well paid (or paid off) to do it. Exhibit A for today: Bernie Sanders' dacha. IIRC, he didn't disclose a lot of assets when he started his Presidential run. Where did the money come from?

Joe and Mika have an affair. Management says to Joe, either you help us get rid of Trump or you and Mika are outta here.

Joe says, "Trump has crossed the line..."

Where is the BS Alert? Of course most of us know not to take Joe Scarborough or Mika seriously. They can both go to hell.

Uhhhh.....facism is when the gov runs everything, but through corporations which reap profits from implementing their dictates.

I do believe that is what we have now with the globalist elites of the uniparty. It's the very thing Trump is fighting.
