American Politics: A Brand New Day

The three most important components of fascism are extreme authoritarianism, extreme reduction of personal liberty and state-sponsored racism.
Even in this country there are a surprising number of fascist Trump supporters who support major socialist reforms because populism is a great tool to make people back fascist leaders.
If the trains run on time a certain percentage of the population will believe Mussolini is doing a good job.
But that last part was exactly what happened.
I thing you over blowing the hive mind loyalty of the chinese people to the party, the majority of than are not MAGA heads. They know since Mao's Cultural Revolution and Tiananmen Square that the CCP ain't on their side, but abiding is better than summary execution or vanishing in the pits of a secret prison.The fact the Han population ain't doing almost nothing for the Uyghurs is simple, they ain't us. Same as the "Brave patriots" that invade the capital were in disbelief when they stared get maced and shot at.
The Us vs Them phenomenon happens in ALL societies in a different scales of ugliness. -

This might be someone just trolling tho.
But honestly I do hope Trump to resign at 19:40 now.

The 2nd Amendment made more sense when it was made. But that was also back when guns took a lot of time to reload one bullet and most people could only afford one. So while still dangerous, you wouldn't get massacres in schools/public places like now because the guy doing it would likely be taken down before he could finish reloading his 2nd or 3rd bullet.

I would argue that the second amendment makes sense right now because it should theoretically enable civilians to help defend regional governments that could soon be under siege by Trump's cult.
Who knows what would happen if in the next eight days they were allowed to seize and hold territory ISIS-style.

Get fucked.So let me get this straight, these people come down to Washington for a "peaceful" protest. They rush the Capital building swayed by this idiot soon to be former president, make a mess of things, post that mess on social, and leave….
And are surprised this has consequences that they have to pay for? That's like stealing a car, crashing it, then being appalled when the owner presses charges. They do know laws didn't magically go away when they were doing that crap right? Were not "The Purge" society.

For the record, what happens if his willpower over organic food leads him to malnourishment?
Asking as a generally curious question.Do they have to give in at some point?
Or can they force him to eat their food if he starts to endanger himself?I don't know how it's supposed to work with self-starving detainees.

I supposed he is transferred from where he's being held to it's medical ward. But as you I don't know the exact protocol that deals with hunger strikes in penitentiary system.

Deutsche Bank will no longer do business with Donald Trump, New York Times reports
According to the New York Times, Deutsche Bank, the president’s largest lender, will no longer do business with Donald Trump, his family and his personal businesses.
Reports also revealed that Trump currently owes Deutsche Bank more than $300 million, which is due in the next few years.
Signature Bank, which long had close ties with Trump and Kushner, is closing his accounts
Also, the PGA is refusing to allow any future tournaments to be on Trump golf courses, which is going to cost him millions.
Took awhile for all these places to start doing the morally and legally correct thing, but the dogpile of abandonment is kind of fun.
-
I do worry a little about the precedent this is setting re: disrespect of (soon to be) former presidents.
But I’ll take it, seeing as this is the least that rat fucker deserves.
-
His banks dropping him and not providing him loans anymore will be the biggest blow of all. It would be nice if everyone stopped doing business with him and his family but you can never expect businesses to act morally if there is money to be made.
-
On the other hand, you can expect business to follow the money and drop him now as the pile of turd that he is, independent of their political leaning.
-
Sheldon Adelson shuffled off his mortal coil, I don’t know if he bankrolled Trump’s 2nd run but you can’t go out like that after backing his idiocy.
Also Pompeo wants to take it back to 2002 on Iran
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

For something funny, some Trump spokesman actually called Trump "the most masculine president ever", and Don Lemon said what everyone was thinking:

They only dropped him when it would hurt them more to support him. But yes, the dogpile of abandonment is quite fun.

No banks in New York would work with trump BEFORE he was president. Nothing to do with politics. His credit was bad. Everythign the guy touch failed. He bankrupted CASINOS.
The overseas banks laundering russian money were the only ones that would deal with him.
I'm sure they don't like how closely they're being looked at as a result.

"McConnell is said to be pleased about impeachment, believing it will be easier to purge Trump from the G.O.P."
Which makes sense. He's been at war with Trump anyway (and winning), and Trump is gone in a week anyway, and he's not going to be in charge in a week anyway, so he doesn't need to actually fight it this time. Dems use the political capital on it, he weakens Trump and keeps him from ever running again, gets credit for doing the right thing? It's all wins for McConnel this time around.
Mitch is also scared about Trump tanking the midterms and cash collection in two years as well. No one is going to want to back the people who also tried to pull off the coup. So... needs a clean a break as possible.
-
Then start the fucking impeachment.
-
What are the odds McConnell can whip up enough votes to break the 2/3rd majority?
-
@TLC:
What are the odds McConnell can whip up enough votes to break the 2/3rd majority?
Right now it'd be pretty damn easy actually since it'll only shave off a day or two of his presidency at most and it'll make the rest of them "look good and trying to heal".
They all need to distance themselves from the coup attempt, and the fact that half of them we part of it by trying to challenges the electoral college.
Only needs 18 reps that want to save their skins (or actually think its the right thing) and have a chance in midterms.
They've already lost everything anyway, and impeachment only speeds up the timetable by a day or two, while taking a future bomb off the table, so no reason not to.
Also, ALSO, this hasn't been really tested but… apparently they can simply not show up. It maybe only needs to be 2/3 of the present Senate, not the whole senate? But that's shaky legally because obviously it's never come up before so no one is really sure how that would actually play out.

Sure minus that whole costing him his Senate Majority Leadership thing. Like where was this energy when the Obama administration went to congress to tell them about potential interference in the 2016 election?….oh yea McConnell wanted to use that as leverage against Democrats.

A lot of them wanted to walk to the tightrope of "i don't want to sink with donnie" but also "i can't decry TOO hard, i won't get his rabid followers to vote for me"

McConnell himself won't suffer from a Trumpian primary revolt in 2022 because he just got reelected. And since he's an obstructionist whose strategy is not voting on bills, he won't suffer the consequences of a nutter wing he has to keep in check like Boner did.

Purging Trump is essentially putting duct tape on a leaky pipe, The Republican party at a foundational level has problems that existed long before Trump and is tantamount to the reasons why certain members of the electorate refuse to vote for them.
Like when you get shit like McCarthy & McConnell holding up the $2000 Stimulus or the assholes (who I forget) in the House refusing to pass immigration reform even when both democrats and republicans support it. Leading to Obama having to create DACA as a consequence which you then try to get killed in the courts insisting he circumvented congress.
And then wonder why they struggle with minorities, the poor, & the middle class.
Republicans have to not simply show they repudiate Trump and his enablers (which include McConnell, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Lindsay Graham, and countless others within and outside the party) but they repudiate every single strategy and crock of bullshit that's kept them in power across the country for the last 40 years that also played a part).
And they sure as hell ain't about to do that.

Oh, I definitely agree with you on the account of the politicians that have earned it, but only for them.
Obama, for instance, deserves much more respect than he gets, though. And I’m a little concerned, I guess, that he is going to catch even more disrespect now that it’s becoming more normal to literally shit on (soon to be) former presidents.
Thanks, Trump.
