Is Trump a Populist Authoritarian?

Thoughts from M. Moore.

My thoughts on the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn... Now that Flynn is gone, he can rejoin his son in pedaling the story that Hillary was running a pedophile ring out of Comet Pizza. This is what was passing for National Security. Whackjob... I'm fondly remembering Michael Flynn at the Republican convention leading the cheer from the stage: "LOCK HER UP!" Now it may be him who gets locked up. Be careful what you wish for!... Flynn was colluding with a foreign government accused of helping throw the election to Trump, promising them they would be taken care of. Arrest him... Let's be VERY clear: Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own. He was INSTRUCTED to do so.He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest Trump... TRUMP KNEW EVERYTHING. It will all come out. Along with the rest of Trump's collusion & obedience to Putin. #IMPEACH... The Washington Post & NY Times now reporting Trump HAS KNOWN FOR A MONTH Flynn lied about the Russian call - and Trump did nothing. #IMPEACH... This is who Trump named "National Security Advisor": A lapdog to the lapdog of Putin. Feeling secure America? He's gonna get u killed... Hey, @realDonaldTrump -- one hour after Obama put sanctions on Russia YOU told Flynn to call them & promise them it'll be OK. Admit it. Traitor! Resign by morning!

For Sons of Unloving Mothers, Confusion and Lasting Wounds
If we all do one random act of kindess daily, we just might set the world in the right direction . - Martin Cornfield

"My forever valentine, XXX ❤️ Feel like the luckiest girl in the world that he's my husband and father to our beautiful kiddos. I love you more today than the day I said I do. He loves me whether I'm at my best or worst, wakes up to put out kids back to bed even when he is sleep deprived himself, climbs roofs and trees to keep our house looking good, believes in me even when I doubt myself and loves us unconditionally. Can't imagine building my life with anyone else but you. (I'm not one to profess my love publicly but decided that I will do it today so everyone knows how awesome you are!)" - Wish I have a Valentine.
