I'm a super serious, anti-death penalty type person but I'd fully support bringing back gladiator pits where groups of trumpers must fight it out until last chud standing. Winner gets to flee to Russia.

So you are saying the people turned to an authoritarian strongman after years of ineffectual government by a bunch of power-hungry, self-serving lawyers?

Turns out, all it takes to completely destroy the famed system of checks-and-balances is to say "nuh-uh".

honestly this is fine... if the democrats would actually prosecute these poo poo heads once they actually held power.

hope hicks loving ignored a subpeona. will she get arrested/charged with crimes? if the democrats win and they just ignore it, then the system is fubar'd. remember what happened when obama won? NOTHING happened no one was punished for lying to the US public about a war, because, "decorum" and if they do that again _this_ time. what is the point?

2018 was the "fight of our lives", 2020 is also a "fight of our lives"... what fight is there is they do absolutely nothing. this is why people are loving disillusioned with the entire process, with democrats.

Holy poo poo, that reference is a deep cut. I'm going to guess that Trump has never read the book, has only seen the movie, and has Eric fast forward through the boring parts.

Tucker's fundamentally a Strasserite socialist: he believes that hard working, fundamentally good (y'know, Aryan ubermenschen) people should get access to all kinds of government services that help them through tough times, but lazy freeloaders (swarthy untermenschen) should be punished, shamed, and locked out of government programs. The Strasser brothers were early nazis who only broke with Hitler because they didn't like the idea of absolute leaders within the master race. If anything they were on the extreme side of anti-Semitism and racism within the nazi party.

In other words, Tucker Carlson is an OG national socialist, and he's going to get more and more dangerous as people look for help in desperate times. There are a lot of racist idiots out there who desperately want to buy his combo of "people who look like you are good people and deserve help" and "people who don't look like you are scum, they shouldn't get anything, and you should feel superior to them."

Trump’s not making these decisions, the people he hires to make these decisions do. And since the number one job of anyone Trump hires is to make him happy, these yes men are probably buying ads based on the likelihood that Trump will see them - hence DC and Florida (even though FL is very important to the election). I bet if they didn’t buy ads in DC, Trump would get all pissy about never seeing his ads “anywhere.”

I would like to see how Trump’s travel schedule lines up with this ad spending.

That's the biggest difference between European and American far-right:

American far-right: "Kick brown people out, and also no welfare because welfare is socialism!"

European far-right: "Kick brown people out so that we can afford to have the welfare state we had before the 1990s!"

I'm not sure if the European model would work in America though. The difference is that there's a strong legacy of social democracy in Europe (before it all turned neoliberal), and it's a real source of nostalgia for a lot of people.

quote:

The Trump administration is apparently investigating the data collection policies of American companies linked to Tencent, following sanctions on Tencent app WeChat earlier this year. Bloomberg reports that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has sent letters to League of Legends studio Riot and Fortnite maker Epic Games, asking about “their security protocols in handling Americans’ personal data.”

Tencent owns Riot and has a minority stake in Epic, as well as many other companies, some of whom Bloomberg says also received letters. The report doesn’t elaborate on the specific questions being asked, but it tallies with an overall concern that Chinese government agencies could get access to private data collected by apps on American soil.

The news appeared shortly before the US Commerce Department issued an order requiring app stores to remove WeChat as well as ByteDance’s TikTok app on September 20th. People who have installed TikTok can use it until at least November 12th, after the US presidential election, but WeChat is being hit with technical restrictions that make its operation more difficult. Fortnite is, in fact, unavailable on iOS and Android app stores at the moment, but that’s because of a separate legal fight involving in-app purchase policies.

The Trump administration hasn’t gone after other big Tencent properties so far, sparing popular games like League of Legends. The CFIUS investigation, however, could indicate greater scrutiny of companies with Tencent links.
