Who ever said Trump is not a Marxist, he certainly is playing from the Marxist Playbook or is this the Putin Playbook? Or is it just the beginning of authoritarianism? With permission from his supporters! 

I see now why you plagiarize, your original content is as bad as Tug.

Well you would be now that Trumps Tarifs have been declared illegal and the dollar is circling the drain waiting for Japan to dump 1 trillion of dollar bonds on to the market.

Since when does our 1st amendment rights as an American extend beyond our border ?  Since never.

Technically they do, I mean, you can say whatever you want. Just don't forget, that ability also comes with consequences.

Technically, you're right.  The 1st amendment applies in the USA.  But so, too, does the right of America to determine who visits and who doesn't. A fairly simple construct.

Either that or the left are completely full of it and they themselves have the dictatorial and fascistic stances on everything.

Equally no state visit from Trump either, or anybody else in government in the USA.

Actions come with consequences and reactions.

 

Trump probably has no idea about them, and I very much doubt if his toadies have any idea what that entails.

 

As an example, Trump put tariffs on many countries never thinking that other countries could or would do the same to the USA. When they did, he backed down.

Ah! Free speech. Who remembers the halcyon days of free speech under Biden and demonstrated so well on many social media platforms including this one. You say the virus was made in and leaked from a lab. Sorry you can't say that. What? Covid jabs can injure you? Noooooo. You can't say that. Ivermectin when given early into the infection may be beneficial. Absolutely NO WAY can this be allowed to be posted. It's a "horse drug". Ah! Those certainly were the days when freedom of speech was at it's zenith.

Well, AN members are not really affected, as we have a few members regularly reposting Russian (news) propaganda on this board!
