Fair enough Chelys - too sweeping a statement from me. However, let me list some core aspects of what the US currently is and see if you can spot any fascist parallels: National rebirth through projection of power You're right - calling the US a fascist state is OTT. However, everything I've listed just there is current and happening there now. Any country that compels all it's children to pledge allegiance to the state every weekday and has intelligence agency advisors (and money) embedded in its film industry doesn't sound like my idea of a free democracy. Your mileage, of course, may vary. There are probably 200 countries worse than the US in the world (most people from there would want to live in the States). Applying your logic, there would be no UK visits from any world leader at all.

There are actually 193 member states of the United Nations. See: Then there are two "observers," Palestine and The Vatican. The UN considers the Republic of China (Taiwan) to be a province of the People's Republic of China by resolution of the General Assembly. Then you have "sporting" nations who are wither part of recognised nations or colonies/territories/commenwealths. See England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Island, Gibralter, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, etc. So, 200 may be a low figure depending on your definition of a country/nation. Also, let's not forget either Palace Nation or Red Sox Nation.

Trump's lies
I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

Once again Trump is trying to pull a very transparent con. Penge, you know you're my Palace homie but Trump is taking your mickey. Edited by kenbarr (18 Jan 2018 2.06pm)

What Trump and the GOP are doing is trying to bully the news into not reporting anything against Trump.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

This just in, Trump undercuts Congressional GOP by opposing CHIP funding in latest CR. Donald J Trump. ... Staaaaable Geeeeeeenius. PS, the Dems were ready to support it in exchange for DACA legislation next since Trump contradicted CoS Kelly and still demands funding for his wall in exchange for DACA
