A little more salt-mining. They used to be so proud of a Swift endorsement. Now no one is into their brand. Taylor Swift Was Booed at the Super Bowl—a...

Then what should he have written?

Same one, repeated 33 times.

His accountant wrote “legal fees” instead of “hush money”. This might have been a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations ran out in 2019 (if ndas we...

You’ve convicted him of crimes but no one else has. Crazy how that works out.
February 09, 2025 at 19:38
None of which resulted in any criminal convictions, correct?
February 09, 2025 at 19:08
Civil cases misconstrued as criminal ones. Why won’t you tell the truth and say he lost some lawsuits, I wonder? Amnesia?

The kleptocracy is falling apart, one day at a time: https://twitter.com/doge/status/1888046273543979183?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

You say “crimes” plural but refuse to name one. That’s because all you got is the trumped-up Bragg charges, and now you can say he’s a felon because h...

Which crimes are those again?

Not according to them, at least. https://www.state.gov/prioritizing-americas-national-interests-one-dollar-at-a-time/

From what little I've seen not much of the "aid" part has been cut from the program, and both Trump and Rubio like the idea of foreign aid. Except not...

This will be his best executive order yet: https://twitter.com/trumpdailyposts/status/1887888749654347905?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

I love watching the USAID debacle unfold. It proves a few things. The whole intersectional and progressive grip on culture throughout the world is lar...

I see them when I both preview and look at my posts. They are still there when I look right now. Thanks for letting me know I probably looked like a m...
February 06, 2025 at 15:18
Yeah they’re X posts. God, have I been the only one seeing them this whole time I wonder?
February 06, 2025 at 14:02
Watch Netanyahu squirm here. If the Whitehouse press secretary was right, Trump thought up his Gaza idea on the spot and Bibi found out on live televi...

The old GOP died when Trump took over. The Dems are a walking corpse. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1887271539210387593?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X...
February 05, 2025 at 23:05
In any case it’s an innovative and bold idea. Though if Biden’s Gaza Pier is any indication (another wasteful USAID boondoggle), it will be difficult ...

That didn’t take long. https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1887158431695393123?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg
February 05, 2025 at 15:40
Yeah, it’s a bad idea. I cringed when I heard it. It contradicts “America first” and the reasons people voted for him. Sesame Street is normalcy in Ir...
February 05, 2025 at 15:32
It’s stupid to blame Trump and not the people who fund bullshit like Iraqi Sesame Street. It’s their fault aid is tied to massive government waste and...

They trot out that kind of argument every few years. In opposing Trump’s border wall during his first terms they claimed border apprehensions were so ...

No, I can appreciate the skepticism. The establishment wouldn’t have it any other way. I appreciate the comments about Milei. After all, he may be the...

Canada concedes. https://twitter.com/justintrudeau/status/1886529228193022429?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg
February 04, 2025 at 00:43
I guess we’ll have to see about all that. Argentina, was it? What do you think of Milei? I’m watching his rule with great interest.
February 04, 2025 at 00:39
I think you’re right that popular sovereignty would eventually be fascism’s downfall, but they literally did create a democratic fascist state in the ...
February 03, 2025 at 23:55
Very cool. Thanks.
February 03, 2025 at 21:15
Fascists saw Fascism as the purest form of democracy, so long as the people are considered qualitatively instead of quantitatively. They did use democ...

At the very least. I think Zelensky was saying that he received all of the weapons he was promised, but the rest, over 100 billion dollars, is missing...
February 03, 2025 at 19:43
I think the point is to convince these governments to help tackle the problem, which is apparent in all countries involved.
February 03, 2025 at 18:45
And why are they wrong?
February 03, 2025 at 18:43
Sure, the guy who helped developed fascism is wrong about fascism.

February 03, 2025 at 18:19
Very nice. I’m glad you’ve read it. The best way to understand fascism is to understand what its creators were thinking, in my opinion. And you’re rig...
February 03, 2025 at 18:14
I knew it as a general economic principle, sure. I didn’t know Mussolini used the phrase once in a speech or in a poster. So thanks for that. I’m genu...
February 03, 2025 at 17:55
Yeah, I was specifically looking for quotes about fascism, by fascists, not a general phrase used by a multitude of politicians across many ideologies...
February 03, 2025 at 17:41
I suppose it counts now, after the fact. Thanks, I’ll check it out.
February 03, 2025 at 17:16
A quote of your grandmother quoting Mussolini does not suffice, no.
February 03, 2025 at 16:59
I don’t think that’s true. One can search the discussion and see that Mussolini’s name hardly appears, especially with quotes.. Write “Trump” in there...
February 03, 2025 at 16:49
Right, by myself.

No one knows what fascism is. No one has read nor quoted any fascist writings to discuss. Until that time fascism remains as Orwell defined it: “The w...
