Shocking, I know.

Is Trump smart enough to engineer economic collapse to create chaos opening the door for a dictator?

No. But Uncle Vlad is. And he has created an idiot-proof step-by-step program for his idiot protégé to follow. That program is well underway and is proceeding according to plan. The last remaining hurdle will be met in 14 months, and with a little help from the corrupt SCOTUS, should be cleared easily with the fascists gaining seats in the House and maintaining a majority in the Senate.

I think most of the Republicans in Congress are fully aware of the plan, and are going along in hopes that they will emerge among the elite rulers in the New Order.

Been a while since Biden has shown up. Nice to see he seems to be doing well.

He's not speaking about our country, though. He's referring to some country called, "United States of Amerigotit", wherever that is.

Oh, ha ha. He has a stutter, which he has rather gamely wrestled with, in public, all his adult life.

I think its high time that people drop all the Nazi talk regarding American politics.

If you think that is a serious ad by American Eagle, then I have a bridge to sell you...

Sorry. It was something I saw out of the corner of my eye and just assumed.

But frankly, I have not seen one lefty criticise the original commercial. I've only seen the right criticise the left for criticising the commercial. As far as i'm concerned, this is just another case of manufactured outrage by the right.

To tell the truth, I had to look up who Sweeney is and hid help me, reads couple of ‘articles’ about why anybody in the world would care about her.

Definitely manufactured outrage and a tiny bit of me thinks that her publicist had a hand in it. We all know who she is now, don’t we?

I think its high time that people drop all the Nazi talk regarding American politics. People have really lost their minds about this. The shark has been jumped:

No, Sydney Sweeney’s ‘great jeans’ aren’t a Nazi dog whistle

If you’ve logged on to Twitter, TikTok or any other social media platform, you’ve seen chatter swirling around American Eagle’s jeans advertisement with the “Euphoria” star. And a lot of it is fueling the outrage machine.

The American Eagle ad showcases the actress wearing a denim jacket and jeans with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” What should’ve been an ad campaign for jeans has American Eagle being accused of giving off “Nazi” vibes.

The ad is a pun — a play on words (jeans/genes) to sell jeans. Yet according to internet critics, it has been labeled an endorsement of eugenics — the discredited bigoted theory that the human population can be perfected by selective breeding. One X user posted “the American Eagles ad wasn’t just a commercial. It was a love letter to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it.”

I tell you what: You get all of the pseudo-Nazis to drop all of the Nazi talking points and Nazi policies and I’ll happily go back to believing that Naziism is a thing of the past.
