Or, I can do all you suggested, and ALSO dehumanize them with humiliating names. Republicans do it routinely, because it works, and under the present circumstances, the Resistance shouldn't waste a single weapon at our disposal. Propaganda is a powerful weapon, and its one that we can, and should, wield ruthlessly. They certainly do, and they deserve to get it right back.

You remember the Michelle Obama doctrine - When they go low, we go high? That's what got us into this mess. I'm long tired of being nice, or polite, especially to traitors and Nazis.

I'm trying to save your freedom, so get with the program or get out of the way.

I've been saying this all along. Not just about this time, but he has pulled off a similar trade scare every month since he took office, with the same result - he announces tariffs, the market tanks, he rattles his sabre a bit, then pauses the tariffs, and the market rises again.

This has been the third, and biggest one, probably because he needed to make it a big one as he cried wolf for a third time. Which means the next time he does it, it will have to be even bigger.

Its clearly market manipulation, of a type that only president could do, but only if he were corrupt enough.

Have we forgotten that he has done this each month since he was Inaugurated?

He crashes the the stock market with talk of tariffs. The wealthy buys options on the decline, and buy on this massive dip, and in a few days, HitlerPig announces that the countries on his list have responded to his tariff threats, so he is postponing them for a month or so.

The stock market recovers a bit, and the wealthy will make fortune. In a month, he'll do it all over again. This was thebthird cycle since Inauguration.

It's deliberate market manipulation.

"I'm not gay, I'm an Alpha Male."

We are being overrun in a Russian coup, domestic politics IS the battlefield right now, and that resemblance is going to grow when violence enters the mix.

And Stalin was never truly our ally either, it was just a partnership of convenience, and the minute Hitler was dead, we turned on each other. That's okay, at least Hitler was dead, and that was our ONLY shared objective. I'm willing to do that with the TRAD GOP, not anyone who was a true MAGA acolyte. They are actual traitors, and need to be purged out of government forever, and if their treason rises to a level of true action, and not just rhetoric, then they should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Look, none of this is MY thinking, this is their thinking, and politicians tend to have really twisted concepts about what makes a candidate electable.

For decades, I've been screaming for bold leadership from Dems, and either they've been weak weenies like Schumer, or Republican-Lite like Clinton and Obama. Clearly, they don't have a clue what makes people vote for them.

I often talk about these Sociopathic Oligarchs as mentally ill hoarders. If anybody collected cats like these guys collect money, they'd lock them up, but somehow these deranged people get worshipped for hoarding money they will never, ever need, even at the expense if destroying the entire country.

True, and I actually like, and even prefer, people that others think are weird. Weird can be really fun and entertaining.

But this is a different kind of weird, its Creepy Weird. Like you just know this guy has some incredibly shocking and revolting kinks, beyond your wildest imagination.

I meant violent criminals, but I get your point, and agree. Especially without due process, and HitlerPig claiming to be the sole arbiter of what is the law, anyone could be deemed a terrorist at any time. My post history will certainly get me designated as a terrorist.

Cosmetology school takes a year, and then they have to get a license. Even Clown College takes 13 weeks.

The process also starts with eliminating anyone with a high IQ, so we end up with the dumbest motherfuckers in town, with authority issues.

Then they promote from within, drawing from an already limited IQ pool. Ever watch the local Police Chief talk on the news, and sound like a total dumbass? Its because departments promote for political connections, and intelligence is NEVER a factor.

Lists of the most dangerous jobs put Police Officers somewhere in the high teens. Some lists don't even have them in the top 20. People who think that a cop's job is so dangerous, forget that they carry a gun, taser, and asp at all times, and have an addition arsenal in the trunk. Cops are safer than kids in public school.

Ive had 2 jobs in the top 5, way more dangerous than any cop, and I've never gone around demanding respect because my job was so dangerous.
