White House to announce sanctions against Russia in response to Navalny's death

In Mar, 2019, a woman takes the stage at an event hosted by Steve Bannon and calls for a Trump dictatorship.

“Never in my life did I think I would like to see a dictator, ” the woman told the crowd. “But if there’s going to be one, I want it to be Trump.” Bannon then clapped and smiled.

People who have seen this clip were shocked and appalled. Not only does the woman claim that she never thought she would agree with a dictatorship crushing the U.S., she fully supports the idea of Trump being that dictator, and single-handedly ruling over the nation, with complete immunity, like his idol Pooopin.

While the woman’s words alone should strike fear into your heart for the fate of our country, the audience’s response is the most telling.

There was not a moment of concern on many of the attendees’ faces. Instead, many of the attendees, like Bannon, were grinning from ear to ear as they applauded the outrageous idea of elevating Trump to a dictator.

The woman’s comment and the crowd’s reaction is a serious cause for concern. 
Why continue as a democracy when we can go the way of Russia&Venezuela?

And these very same people have the audacity to call themselves "patriots."

THE US SHOULD ANSWER FOR WHAT WE'VE DONE TO JULIAN ASSANGE AND NOT JUDGE OTHERS!!!! WE'RE A NASTY COUNTRY

[Dexter-ht]

I think Navalny is not your problem, these are Russia’s internal problems. This shouldn't worry the US.

[DarmokAtTanagra]

Why are we veto-ing a Gaza ceasefire. Why.

[leonkennedy]

Meanwhile, not a peep about Julian Assange and the plans to extradite him to the US. 😂😂😂

Professors ranked Joe Biden the 14th best president in American history, edging out Reagan and Grant. By the way, Trump is dead last.

I fully support Putin and Trump for prison

Why are we worried about a dead not see in Russia

[burtinhart]

What I don't understand is why ANYONE who is donating to Trump doesn't just send the money to Carroll. She's going to get it anyway...well Carroll and the State of New York, anyway.

After 2 years of fighting, tens-of-thousands of lives lost, and tens-of-billions of US tax dollars spent, why is there anything left in Russia to sanction?

[davidrhinehart]

Oh wow. Sanctions. That'll teach putin.

[verostef-jd]

oh! I'm sure Russia is devastated and Putin is shaking with fear!

[resterAnonyme]

Give all of the assets confiscated from Russia to Ukraine!

[deedsterdoo]

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin and admitting you want the same type of leader.
