Chili’s under fire after manager takes free meal from vet on Veterans Day[^] What a jerk.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Agreed, but it was a strong policy statement of the future if Hitler got into power. - removal of the Jews from Europe - the subjugation of Slavs and other Untermenschen - the right of the Aryan race to take lands away from the Untermenschen for Lebensraum. - revolution after power - rebuild Germany's military Certainly nobody in Germany should have been too surprised about how things turned out.

More countries are proud of their military, and pledge each election to "spend more" to preserve their status.

Illegal settlements? Doesn't sound that spectacular these days, does it?

We can't blame the same group twice, so now were targetting Islam.

Maybe. I am an American and I don't think it will affect me all that much. People read way too much into the campaign rhetoric. 90% of the stuff he said he would do as President, he can't do. The government has checks and balances for a reason. He can't do anything with taxes, he can't wake up one day and decide to launch nuclear missiles, he can't deport all of the people here illegally. It's just fear mongering to think he can and will do any of the stuff the media said he would do. He will find out once he is office that he can't actually do all that much just like Obama couldn't close Gitmo or implement universal healthcare or any of that other stuff he promised to do.

We can all rest easy on the fact that the U.S. Constitution prevents Trump, or any branch of government, from accumulating the level of power and authority that Hitler did. Unless they find a way to throw out the Constitution, we don't have to worry about the U.S. turning into a fascist state like Nazi Germany. Now, have we set the country back about 50 years? That is the question.

Umm, technically, he can. As Commander and Chief of the military, he has control of the nukes and can, without the approval of Congress, engage in a military conflict for up to 38 days.
NotPolitcallyCorrect wrote:

Yes, he can. While he cannot change the laws, he can direct the manner in which they are enforced.

Uhm, I disagree. There is no logistical way that millions of illegals can get deported. It's not going to happen.

While technically true, unlawful orders are meant to be disobeyed. No one in their right mind is going to launch missiles just because he throws a temper tantrum. For him to launch he would have to get the Joint Chiefs to back him up. More fear mongering.

The problem is... even if it is not completely implemented some things will do cause the same effect than throwing a stone into a peaceful water. The waves are the ones that can have dumb effects. As much as I don't like it, (but I do realize about it), America and what happens in America has consequences in many other places over the world.

Yes, deporting 11 million illegals is logistically impossible to accomplish in one presidential term. Can he do mass deportations? Yes. Is it likely? No.

The way you can do this is to surround yourself with people that will not stand up and say no, to intentionally feed military intelligence miss-information, or get lost in group-think like the kind that lead to the 2003 Iraq invasion.

Neither Trump nor Clinton are people I would want as neighbours (or as President), but neither of them is in the least comparable to Hitler. I suggest that you brush up on your history, my friend.

Why is everyone angry against Chilis? Chilis did not do anything wrong. They gave out hundreds of thousands of free meals. Why boycott them? Morons!
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
This is on par with the people complaining about the president elect when he has not done anything yet. One guy in bad uniform (why) and one miss guided manager end up being a headline. The manager should just have let it go. One meal is not going to break them for all they gave away, but being wrong will.

Ya. Taking the food away was just stupid. They probably would have thrown it away so why not just let it go and let him have it. :doh:

Donald Trump is using his platforms to incite crowds with hateful, racist, xenophobic messages. His supporters are marching through the street attacking women and minorities, and he talks about "getting rid" entire segments of the population

Links, or it didn't happen. The MSM would be covering this 24x7, if true.

They are? Again, I would expect the MSM to be covering this 24x7. A quick check on NBC news shows nothing!

Yes, he has spoken about deporting illegal immigrants. Are you claiming that enforcing the laws that have been on the books for over 90 years is suddenly "racist, xenophobic, etc."?

I can agree that there are similarities between some of their methods but they are generally limited to rhetoric. He's not the only person to get elected on those platforms. Prior to his rise to power, Hitler and the Nazi party created paramilitary groups that actively engaged in organized violence and murder against political opponents, particularly the communists. It's only when Hitler failed to realize his vision through violence did he begin pursuing legal means to gain power. After Hitler consolidated his power, he returned to violence. When we see organized, well-armed militias of thugs targeting Democrats and minorities you can truly draw comparisons between Trump and Hitler. I'm not defending Trump (I didn't vote for him) but I am not going to jump to conclusions and define his presidency before the inauguration.
