True. But his campaign will have to sell the public a good reason for not doing it.

No tax returns.

We aren't gonna owe all of it, but it will be considered income.

Agreed. I don't think they'll demand it in one chunk, but we will eventually have to pay it all back cause giving money to corporations is just good business but giving money to the plebs is a waste or so I assume They think.

Yup.

... but really, haven't we already been paying for shit in ALL kinds of ways,
so it's gotten hard to sus out the details - and it's pretty exhausting
if you have to think about it anyway.

I'm going to base my definition off the article JWB shared now.

America isn't fascist but I'd definitely say that the Trump movement is.

And it's at least very close to fascism.

Here is a comprehensive, up-to-date list of the current world dictators and authoritarian regimes. As of today, there are 50 dictatorships in the world (19 in Sub-Saharan Africa, 12 in the Middle East and North Africa, 8 in Asia-Pacific, 7 in Eurasia, 3 in Americas and 1 in Europe). We define a dictator as the ruler of a land rated “Not Free” by the Freedom House in their annual survey of freedom.

During today’s free-form mental fuck fest about the lazy turd dragon,
someone - I think it was from AP - got a shot of that folder:

Quote:

“Freedom House commends the bipartisan efforts of lawmakers in the US Congress to address the crisis in Hong Kong and offer Hong Kongers options in the face of oppression and persecution,” said Michael J. Abramowitz, president of Freedom House. “Two pieces of proposed legislation—the Hong Kong Safe Harbor Act and the Hong Kong Freedom and Choice Act—will be critical to mitigating the short- and long-term effects of this human rights crisis, while sending a strong message to Beijing that the United States will not simply abandon the people of Hong Kong. We call on Congress to swiftly pass both of these bills into law.”

Complete capitalism equals freedom horse****

America extends a helping hand of freedom to Hong Kong? You might as well try to sell me on the idea that Ted Bundy was a feminist.
