In other news, Madonna will be off to Gitmo soon, considering what she said about the White House.

Madonna on the women's march! The irony of a woman who's used her tits and ass to make a living for the last 30-add years.

As for the Pope, sorry if someone is proving more popular than your kiddy-fiddling control mechanism; deal with it.

Pope Francis warns against rise in populism - BBC News

Wrong on so many levels. "Hitler didn't steal the power, his people voted for him" - wrong. "Pope Francis has warned against a rise in populism" - so people should not think for themselves? Maybe priests could speak on our behalf....

Populism is telling people what they want to hear in order that they'll vote for you. It's the very opposite of letting people think for themselves; that would involve telling people the truth.

IIRC Hitler tried unsuccessfully a couple of times to become President, but then with the Nazis the largest party in Parliament senile old President Hindenberg appointed him Chancellor. So you could say the people never chose Hitler, but he did have a mandate as the people did vote for the party. In that respect he's exactly the same as Teresa May.

The press conference from earlier in the US where his spokesman banged on about how many people turned up to see Herr Trump become dictator of the US reminded me of Comical Ali the press officer from the Iraq war. Laughable really, but quite scary.

I heard on the news the Trump camp had released a photo of the crowds at the inauguration that was actually from Obama's previous inauguration.

It's obvious how this is going to go. Trump will be a great president, and Brexit will be a huge success. All the history books and newspapers from the time will prove that to be true, even though none of the people quite remember it like that. Also we'll all be required to believe that 2+2 = 5.

I agree with the Pope, Trump is a populist and I'm tired to say it here, Hitler was also a populist and a brilliant psychopath.

Is the populism increasing among politicians.? Clearly a Yes.

Clearly there is every risk of a new Hitler so perhaps best to do away with elections altogether? Why take the chance?

It helps ones elections when you have well organized squads of brown-shirts to help you a tad

Also in first election Hitler did not have over 50% of votes (if my memory serves me right)

Perhaps his slogan will be "it's the ratings, stupid".
