Banning books is classic fascism.

In my opinion the main motivation for him to run again along with the timing is directly related to saving his own financial and legal keister. You see if he wasn't running, he couldn't grift very much anymore as then he would officially become a has been (loser). So he needs to run for that. But he is also hoping (and it might work) to use the presidency to shield him from legal consequences for his many alleged crimes. As president he can't be indicted, so he would have four years of protection and that might be enough for life, plus as he's obviously an anti-democracy fascist he would likely try to engineer a presidency for life thingie like Putin. The reason for the very early announcement right after the midterms is quite obvious. He will use that as a political pressure and propaganda tool to make the case that the DOJ or Georgia or New York cannot/ should not indict him because he's actively running for president, and threaten to rile up his violent militias such as the proud boys if they do. so that bullying tactic might work. I don't think that it will but hard to place odds on that.

If he can dodge convictions he will be be favored for the nomination assuming he has numerous oppontents. But DeSantis might be able to beat him. If republicans agreed to make it more of a one on one race I would bet on DeSantis. But they won't. Not writing this as a DeSantis fan as I think he's horrible too, but Trump is massively more horrible.

His movement is without any doubt whatsoever a cult of personality.

After the midterms. Republicans thought it would be damaging to do before.

For the vast majority of us Nate is irrelevant. So an American Mormon man boy who you don’t know who makes videos not intended for us has made a big youtube success in the Thai market. So he has another boxing and marriage adventure that has nothing to do with you. I don’t understand the point of relating to this story either positively or negatively. Yes I have sampled him and found him rather a clown so I presumed there is a good market for Thai fluent f-rang clowns in Thailand. I wouldn't begrudge him his success but nothing to do with me. Leave him be unless you're a fan which is weird because you aren't in his intended audience which are Thai youth. I do happen to be somewhat emotionally invested in a number of youtubers that I do follow. Such as NFKRZ your friendly neighborhood Russian. I recently discovered Sanctioned Ivan a chubby young Russian draft dodger in Turkeye who drove in with a Cadillac Escalade ( his Freedom Car) who is having all kinds of often comical adventures and speaks fluent English in a hilarious style particularly his overuse of Flippin'.

Your debate style is of the thirsty for liberal tears school. Dude, democrats have known for a long time that it is highly likely they will lose the house in the midterms. Losing seats is standard in the midterms for the party more in power, and given the slim majority, it would be a wonderful shock and not expected to hold the house. As far as the senate, that is up in the air, and yes if the R side takes control there, there will indeed be large buckets of liberal tears for you and your ilk to savor and enjoy. Have fun actually governing.

It's for Thai teenyboppers.

That notorious distinction is made in the shade.

Don't bother hoping. Super MAGAs have no shame! It's all about power and winning.

Not one city was burned down, dude. But of course all lawbreakers are subject to the justice system, that SHOULD be a bipartisan consensus, including disgraced insurrectionist twice impeached ex-president Mr. Trump.

Not really. I haven't done a scientific analysis. It's largely a subjective impression but I can say I find Shoppee too noisy. Also I'm probably influenced by hating their pervasive ad campaigns. I guess it's kind of like preferring one platform over another because you got used to one first, like Windows. I feel no motivation to bother switching at all. Cheers.

I'm skeptical that you even follow credible news to ask such a BASIC question. Not all questions have value contrary to what MAGA types like Tucker Carlson might assert. Silly questions are cynically WEAPONIZED. So -- I won't be further bothered. BYE. Biden slams "MAGA Republicans," compares the philosophy to "semi-fascism" - CBS News

I've only used Lazada. I don't like the feel of Shopee. I'm guessing it's market tested more specifically for the natives. While Lazada isn't Amazon it's such an incredible convenience. You can find pretty much anything and everything in moments, usually at a good price even with paid shipping, avoiding schlepping all over town just not to even find rarer items at all, then the items are shipped to my condo and held by the security guards (when prepaid). I prepay almost everything. I used to not trust shipments from China with prepay but it turns out they're quite trustworthy too (but slow). That's the main downside -- when the only option is shipping from China. I still wouldn't prepay higher priced items like cell phones although I've noticed some vendors require you to so if I really want something, no choice. I've been burned occasionally. I don't even bother returning as I estimate the loss is less than one percent of what I buy. OK, clothes are an issue. Sizing is a crop (sic) shoot. So if it's an item you'll want, buy one for size, and then order in bulk.

What's a store?

Yeah a sort of toxic literalness, with indications of being disingenuous. Biden never said you can't vote for republicans or even MAGA ones but he is saying that the large MAGA faction are promoters of the big lie and are actively working to put people into power (particularly governors and secretaries of state) that will clearly put MAGA ideology over vote totals in future elections. I call that fascism. Biden calls that semi fascism.

Perhaps after snake oil salesman Trumpist carpetbagger Oz loses in Pennsylvania he might want to try again in New Jersey. Or better yet not. Fetterman stroke or not is clearly the better man.

Lazada has both L Theanine and Gaba that ships from Thailand. There are no import or legal issues.

There is a good chance Fetterman will make a good recovery from his stroke but there is no chance that Oz will recover from what he is. Fetterman by .5 percent.

He wasn't talking about all Republicans. Only MAGA types who favor fascist tactics to overturn elections.

They may need to but they won't. Democracy is hard work to keep viable. Personally I think that collectively Americans are saying bring on a totalitarian state. We can't be bothered to do better. This will be regretted of course but then it will be too late.

MAGA is for murdering democracy. So voting for MAGA is pro fascist, anti democracy, anti constitution, and indeed anti American.

Fetterman is all Pennsylvania all the time stroke or no stroke. Electing Oz would be like choosing an alien from plastic city.

I heard that you can buy a verified checkmark without being verified. Of course that would be insane. Can someone clarify?
