As most of us know, Trump is all about himself. Nobody, and I mean, nobody else.

Trump doesn’t have time for losers like Dole. He was badly injured in WWII. Real heros don’t get shot.

I'm calling it right now .. China is economically tanking as we speak, Russia is already there - at next US election when it's Trump inspired chaos and anarchy, Russia is taking Ukraine, China is taking Taiwan and Iran is going nuclear on Israel.

WWIII is a real possibility, imo.

C'mon man. I know what time it is in Australia right now. Don't ruin both of Friday morning coffee for the both of us. :wink:

I don’t know anything about China tanking. I don’t get to follow their economy in America. I thought they were doing well. Russia has a serious chip on it’s shoulder about America. I agree China is poised to take Taiwan and spread it’s global super power wings. I also agree Putin wants the Ukraine and is poised to take it. I agree it will be chaos in the next election. I don’t agree Iran is going nuclear on Israel. It would mean certain a retaliatory strike from Israel and maybe the US. I think Israel is going to attack them first by bombing the crap out of their nuke facilities. Too bad the nuclear agreement that Iran, US, China, Russia, UK, France, Germany and the EU signed got ripped up by Trump.

The fascism in the US is coming from the Left and the Democrats.

Fascism
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.


The Dems aren’t the ones refusing to abide by election results. The Dems aren’t the ones assaulting the Capital in an attempted Coup to subvert the results of the election. The Dems aren’t the ones putting in place people can in key places willing to overturn the next election results after the previous people refused. Yes, no matter who wins the next presidential election, Republicans at the local level are poised to declare and certify Trump the winner no matter what.

That’s as evil as it gets.

The idea that a bunch of wimpy geriatric centrist Democrats are somehow fascist is as laughable as it gets.

That's exactly what the Dems did. Do you not remember Rep Raskin saying that he wasn't going to accept the results in 2016? How about Stacy Abrahams and Hillary Clinton still saying that the election was stole from them? Who gave the order to stop counting votes in the middle of the night in all the swing states at the same exact time? Had to have been the fascists, right?

Don't forget fascist. Like when they:
1. suppress information in collaboration of the government and corporations
2. arrest journalists
3. censor dissent
4. coerce and force employees to take an experimental injection
5. arrest and hold political opponents in custody without charging them
6. collaborating with corporations to do their bidding and take away their first amendments rights
7. burning books...err deleting books off of Amazon.
8. creating segregation between the clean(vaccinated) and the unclean(vaccinated)
9. closing churches, but keeping open strip clubs.
10. Threatening and trying their best to take away your 2nd amendment
11. Support and encourage eugenics
12. Curfews implemented
13. Purge perceived political descension in the military
14. Directing the DOJ and FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings.
15. Under direction of corporations, create mandates for experimental therapies.
16. weaponize the IRS, USPS, and OSHA.
17. wanting to impose domestic travel restrictions on US citizens.
18. Impose laws to punish those who question election results.

Hillary conceded to Trump the next day. Trump still hasn’t conceded to Biden a year later.

“Donald Trump is going to be our president,” she said, speaking at the New Yorker hotel in Manhattan. “We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead.”

I’m not going to even bother with the rest of that crap.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was permanently banned from Twitter today (her personal account). Twitter says it was for repeatedly sharing misinformation about COVID and vaccines, but she has also repeatedly called for violence against her political opponents and other offenses, so who knows.

Idk what to think about MTG. I admit she seems off. What exactly did she say that "called for violence againsther political opponents"?

Can you give me some quotes, vid or sources? I honestly haven't seen anything, but I don't follow what craziness she says either.
