So, how do you think this BS finally ends? Does it end?

My thought is that the killing of the United Healthcare CEO and subsequent reaction to it by the populace is a sign that Americans are just beginning to grasp the true root of corruption in our system. That it's not just corrupt politicians but, its primarily the billionaire businessmen who seek to and for now, seem to have succeeded in taking control of our federal government.

In other words, this thing is far from over.

Trump Cabinet picks aren't 'loyalists' — it's far worse than that.

Trump-onomics, American Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics and Bitcoin goes to $1million. Enjoy the ride.


https://cryptohayes.substack.com/p/black-or-white

from the link:

Given that Xi Jinping is ethnically Han Chinese, it means China has a Socialist system with Chinese Characteristics. That’s kinda #REF, but the truth is yours to define when you’re the 皇帝 (emperor). If you ever listened to Kamala Harris speak without a teleprompter, you know what I’m talking about. A similar sophistry at work in the land of “freedom”, pickup trucks, and Doritos. I want to put my spin on a malleable economic “-ism” concerning the economic system of Pax Americana. I shall refer to the current iteration of policies implemented by the Orange Man, the newly re-elected President Trump, as American Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics.

Looks like the Donald has already pissed his most favorite president, Vladimir Putin.
Of course, Faux is not reporting this nor (any other MSM for that matter since they are all cowards), they are still obsessed over Hunter Biden's pardon.

Or since the news came from X, there is no truth to it. If so, Trump will try and shut Newsweek down by asking the MAGAts to boycott them. Or Melania could sue Newsweek, after all that is one way she made a lot of money.

Russian State TV Airs Melania Trump's Nudes on Prime Time

Quote:
A Russian state television network congratulated Melania Trump on her husband's reelection as president of the United States by showing nude photographs of her on live television, according to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On the show 60 minutes, Russian television presenters, husband and wife Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva, spoke about Donald Trump's reelection and showed numerous photos from Melania Trump's modeling days on screen, including nude photographs from a GQ profile in 2000.

South Korea’s parliament votes to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law order

When (not if) Donny imposes martial law, will the coward Repubes in our Congress allow this? I doubt it.

You're doubting they'll allow him to impose martial law?

I doubt they're brave enough to impeach him (yet again) when he does impose martial law. They are complete cowards.

I can't figure out whether ABC is just trying to curry favor with the incoming administration or just wants to make the whole thing go away before it blows up into yet another cause célèbre. Legal opinion indicates that Stephanopoulos did not misspeak.
