New York, NY, October 19, 2016 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Task Force on Harassment and Journalism today released a report detailing a troubling, year-long rise in anti-Semitic hate targeting journalists on Twitter, with data showing that the harassment has been driven by rhetoric in the 2016 presidential campaign and identifying some of the groups and individuals responsible

Maybe they should do a follow up report on all the Trump Supporters getting the living shit kicked out of them since the election

Matching history perfectly.

The culprits insist they are the victims and use the propaganda to up the attacks.

We must be due a night of long knives early in 2017?

Trump is not a Nazi no matter how many times you say it or want it to be so!

He was a democrat until about 2011, true story!

No he's just appointing confirmed racists and anti-semites to top posts in his administration. . .

He famously said:

"WHAT HAVE BLACK PEOPLE GOT TO LOSE??!!!"

Turns out a fair bit!!

In terms of political outlook and analysis I agree very much with Michael Moore but find his activism insufferable.

However I seen a clip of him the other day where he said that Trump had no ideology and was a fascist almost in the same breath. So which is it Michael and everyone else for that matter? (clue..its the former)

I really wish people would think about what they are saying before they feed their outrage monster.
Trump is both ideology-free (we have to assume, given his rhetoric about Wall Street but the reality of him wanting to implement the most regulation-free financial system since the 1920s) and has campaigned on a fascist platform (rounding up and deporting 11 million and banning all immigration by people of a particular religion, threatening to jail political opponents based on no evidence, that's kind of fascist, you know).

One can be both, and it's pretty fair comment to say he is.

No you cant be both

And as if to give an example of this your contradicting yourself in the one post.... How could a fascist be in favour a deregulated Wall st?
You give far too much credit to fascism as political ideology. Of course you can be both - fascism is inherently ideology free itself - pretty much its only inherent narrative is to blame others for everything, just like Trump does.

Jeff Sessions' appointment should be a real leap forward for the Trump team in terms of race relations - this is the man who once said "I thought the Ku Klux Klan were alright until I heard they smoked pot".

So the Trump administration won't be returning to the same old failed policies of the War on Drugs, then... ;D

Young black men can relax, Jeff's got their back...

Doesnt matter wether you think of it or what its based on, it is a political ideology. And a liberal free market economy is directly opposed to the ideals of facsim

Doesnt matter wehter youn like it or not

omochain

Trump just settled the "Trump University" law suit. The plaintiffs settled for $25million. Trump is not admitting guilt off course! Goddamn those biased Mexican judges!

seafoid

I don't think it's a free market economy. The US is a plutocracy. And when you get to the deflation stage the next stage is fascism

seafoid

I don't believe that Trump can save the US economy. I would love to know what sort of payrises the Trump faction on here have been getting over the last 10 years. Have we got anyone in the richest 1% ?

The richest 1% of Americans own 50% of everything.
They earn 18% of everything.
And between 1975 and 2007 they captured 58% of all income gains in the US. It must be higher now. Let's say it's 65%
Basically via debt. So their share of income continues to increase at the expense of the schmucks who voted for Trump.
So if Trump wants to get interest rates up ordinary people need to get a bigger share of income.

But Trump's tax cuts will go 50% to the richest 0.1%
So basically there is NO WAY that bluecollar voters will see any improvement in their circumstances.
And without any improvement on Main St the economy cannot grow.
So it will crash.

150 million Americans will go to work on Monday and they might as well stay at home. There is no point in going to work. 
At this stage it doesn't matter what Wall St thinks either. It really doesn't matter. The system is the system.

If you want to do something coherent organise a strike before Trump goes to war.

An awful lot of the current mess can be traced back to people like Milton Friedman, Thatcher and Reagan

The US is a pretty young country. The Constitution is worshipped but it is mortal. they also worship the flag.
And the second amendment.

Because in 1770 a well regulated milita would do the job. But it didn't stop Trump, did it? Guns are useless against psy ops. So checks and balances are a thin reed against which to lean.

Arguably the Constitition had 2 historic existential challenges. The Civil war and Civil rights about a century later. Both were resolved but unsatisfactorily. The same rednecks voted for  an autocrat this time around. Civilisation is a thin veneer as well.
This is the third existential challenge. We just don't know how it will play out.

Bob the Builder has never been involved in politics so he doesn't really know how to do it. Can we fix it ? Yes we can. But that was an Obama phrase, wasn't it? This week Bob has to drain the swamp.

He has drafted in a number of heavy hitters. Noddy will be in charge of national insecurity. Big Ears is not going to do anything about Climate change. The 3 bears will dismantle Financial regulation to make the system safer. Goldlilocks will leave her job at Breitbart and tell lies to everyone. Dora the explorer will be interned. The little matchgirl was one of Bob's biggest constituencies but she is a loser. She doesn't need a tax cut like Scrooge McDuck does.  The ugly duckling is a warmonger just like his father, Mr Potato Head. Aladdin and Sindbad will have to register.
Bob has the attention span of a gnat. He has been groping  Miss Pink Cat all night.
