Trump really is a Quisling, very much like the real one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Quisling was illegitimately installed by Hitler as Norway's PM, and then he turned over his country's control to the Nazis, serving for several years as the head of a Nazi-run puppet government - until he was executed as a traitor.

I don't see a whole lot of difference now between him and Trump.

1. Awesome post

You nailed it with quisling

2. I'm feeling pretty furious right now.

I'll probably be even more furious in a few days after elected GOP officials justify Trump's treason today? A firing squad after conviction for treason is too good for Trump. I want him locked 23 hrs a day in a 4 x 6 ft cell with nothing but the walls to look at.

3. For many years whenever I heard the name Quisling

Elvis Costello's 'Green Shirt' would spring to mind.

Now it's a Ban de Soleil'd sack of shit I envision.

4. Look him up, see what he did. History doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but

it often echoes.

5. I did way back in '79.

At first I thought Quisling was a curious British adjective describing the "clinic" in the song.

Apt comparison.
