Orange Shitstain’s permanent payroll tax cut would deplete Social Security funds by 2023, analysis finds

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump...205515510.html

...yet millions of idiots on Social Security will still vote for this ass...

I wonder whether Faux “News” is reporting this?

Of course, 'Social Security Funds' is only a manner of speaking. The funds are in treasury bonds that must be cashed against current tax revenue or new borrowing before they can be used to pay anyone.

The define reporting on Trump's crimes as 'interfering in his business relationships,' and tell a WAPO reporter they've got a dossier on him. 1st Amendment? Ha ha ha!

Just imagine if this crook remains in office. The U.S. of A. is done.

What is going on corresponds to what I call the authoritarian playbook. Donald Trump is not interested in governing the United States. He’s in office to enrich himself off public office, help his cronies and build his personality cult. Again, people are anchored to an old-fashioned understanding of what the presidency should be in a democratic country. It is very hard for the public to make the leap to how Trump is a fundamental break from American tradition.

Now, if we start explaining how America is in fact in an authoritarian situation with Donald Trump and his administration, then another question arises. One of the reasons so many people are scared is that to admit the truth about Trump and authoritarianism then means they have to do something about it. Many people do not want to take that leap.

Yes, there are protesters in the streets. But the American business elite also must make that leap by accepting the reality of the situation. History teaches us that it is conservatives who support authoritarians and their rise to power. The American business elites are going to have to change how they think. They are going to have to speak out against American authoritarianism and Trumpism. American business elites have to make a decision about where they stand relative to Trump and authoritarianism.

The American people are going to need to make decisions about where they stand as well. It is easier to not make a decision. It is easier to just flip the channel, shift the topic, and pretend Trump and American authoritarianism are not really happening.
There is a whole interview with paragraphs and paragraphs that make as much sense as this one! Speaker is fascism and authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat. You can find it here: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/is-...rian-playbook/

China Just Called Orange Shitstain's Bluff on TikTok

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china...010117849.html

With know-nothings running the show, we're doomed to the same fate as no-longer-Great Britain, which once ruled the world.
