That's what gets me with you, Jimbo. You pick your sweethearts and defend them because you think they do no wrong.

Which... remains to be seen, but I do think that's the message. "Oppose me at your peril." We'll see how that works for him.

Look up the entire definition. Under adjective #1 it says: “favoring complete obedience or subjection to authority as opposed to individual freedom.”
Under noun #1 it says: “a person who favors or acts according to authoritarian principles.”
You are wrong.

Well, I'll be damned. And I am sorry - I genuinely did not know. But to put this in context - in 6 years of studying political theory, and over 17 years of working either for a political risk consultancy or a human rights organisation, the difference between an authoritarian President versus one with authoritarian tendencies was a critical point of distinction (and deeply embedded into our editorial guidelines).
I suppose I didn't account for the fact that while political concepts are entirely dumbed down in mainstream political discourse to the point where they lose their original meaning, it doesn't necessarily make them inaccurate.

The New York field office held Clinton and Trump in nearly equal disdain. “In 2016, the New York agents thought Hillary is corrupt and Trump is crazy—he’s in New York and they know him well,” a top veteran of the city’s office said. “So in the primary there was a majority of agents for Bernie Sanders.”

Anyhow - here’s an article on the same subject by actual journalists rather than by a propagandist:
.Strzok reportedly changed the words “grossly negligent” (which could have triggered legal prosecution) to the far less serious “extremely careless” in FBI Director James Comey’s depiction of Clinton’s actions
