How is Bannon still relevant? Is that some sort of job application from him?
At times like this you have to ask who are the real fascists, is it the fascists, or is it blue haired SJW straw men (sorry for assuming their gender)?
I don't think any of them are. Throwing the fascism label around like confetti really isn't cool.
There are zero fascists alive in the world today (almost no communists either). It's OK to make a new label for people. Trumpians. Whatever you like.
It is easier than actually pointing out specifics you disagree with.
Are the likes of Cuba and Venezuela still proper communist, or do they run in some sort of extra shit capitalism way?
We need to abandon the idea of countries and borders now. These people aren't loyal or whatever to a set of values of a common people. They care about power, control and money. Lines on a map are for poor people now.
Depends what you call real communism, I guess. I don't know, but tinpot dictatorship fits well enough.
I'm happy with actions and not tweets for now.
It's how he talks to his patients.
Ok, now I'm confused. I've just clicked on the BBC and seen this:
He (Trump) is actually going to stop this incredibly stupid war, isn't he?During his address this evening, Zelensky also speaks briefly about the US-proposed mineral deal.
He says the two countries were working on a draft agreement and that he hoped for a "fair result".
"This is an agreement that can add value to our relationship, and the main thing is to work out the details so that it can work," he says.![]()

Assumimg he still thinks he can 'win' Zelensky should tell the Americans to shove it and ask the Europeans to empty their inventories first.
He could probably sort it by twisting the deal in Donald's favour. Like, by giving America the precious metals instead.
Trump now openly threatening a state governor with removal of federal funding if they don't do as their told.
What was that about the Republican party wanting return power to the States?
Quite fun seeing the americans implode. Turns out putting the dumbest man alive back into office not a great idea especially when you let some doughy k-holed twat run rampant inside your government with no idea of how it actually works.
Russians got absolutely battered by the Finnish in the winter war. Finnish with a lesser army, tanks, weapons and aircraft.
You don't want to fuck with those Finnish, who love the snow. Russians think they're like that, but the Finnish I've met are more nuts and prepared to die with drugs and alcohol or acting like Johnny Knoxville. They'd inject snow in their veins if they could.
One of the best education systems in Europe. What a combination. You've also got to be wary of them based on their Eurovision entries.

It didn't help that Stalin shot everyone who knew which end of a rifle was which in '37, any competently led and equipped army would have rolled the Finns in pretty short order but that rules out the Russians of pretty much any era.
If you like Ruski incompetence then you want the Russo-Japanese war. Chock full of slav based idiocy but with added crocodiles and Douglas MacArthur being a massive racist.

Good Mafia shakedown.

That has seemed like a very obvious play for a while. Does flirt quite closely with being actively hostile though and I'm still not really sure they've thought through this great power diplomacy thing if it ends up alienating the rest of the non-retarded world.
This is a beautiful country you've got here it would be a shame if someone came in and smashed it up . . .
Oh.
The EU/UK should offer Ukraine all the seized Russian assets they hold for a 'mineral deal'. Hit Donald right in the minerals.
Apparently CPAC is very onboard with a third Trump term.
He'll be 82 by then. I can't see it, regardless of what they do or don't force through. There'll be a whole long queue of wannabe strongmen trying to succeed him as well.
Trump or otherwise is fairly irrelevant. What matters is that we'll be seeing Republicans "elected" for a long, long time.
Nah, Ukraine's invading them next week.
Michelle then Chelsea then Malia.
With modern technology I think the Dems could find a way of putting up Rosa Parks.
I'd vote for Robocop.
Vance has potential presidency attributes imo. Clear in his message and doesn't pander to identity politics.
Musk asking for workers to say what they did last week or resign.![]()
Does this apply to all levels of the Federal government?
Last week I alienated traditional allies.
Last week I sacked all the people in charge of maintaining the US nuclear deterrent.
The mass culling of all probationary people will be an interesting one. I've often wondered whether you could do that in the health service but generally concluded in my mind that you'd probably just end up sacking all the people who actually do stuff and keep all the off sick with stress scroungers in a double whammy lose lose outcome.
In the middle of all this, Grimes has been trying to contact Elon through his twitter account for some child support payments. How can a billionaire be such a deadbeat?
If one wanted to be bumped off by the CIA at warp speed, Musk is doing pretty much everything right.
Imagine.![]()
