I invite fact checking on this.
Hitler had security of course, but I don't think he ever had to put 1-2+ divisions around him just to maintain power unlike Biden's coup. Even in the midst of a total war, Hitler was popular among the soldiers and people.
I believe Hitler toured conquered Paris with about 3 total cars as entourage and escort.
Of all of the stories of him visiting with soldiers from time to time, he usually traveled by car or train (instead of plane) as the Allies had air superiority. As far as I'm aware, he never mandated that the soldiers had their bullets confiscated before being in his presence. This is in contrast to stories of George W. Bush and Obama visiting troops and mandating that they be disarmed before speeches. (I've read that, but not 100% sure if that was done)
Fact-checking anything in this fake news media environment is tough, but it appears that some of the national guard standing watch in Washington DC right now have weapons for appearances sake, but no bullets because they're secretly concerned about some soldier turning on Biden.
My mind-reading guess at what changed Lightfoot's and Cuomo's mind on wanting to reopen stuff immediately?
I think they genuinely do still believe that Covid is so scary, but they finally looked at their 2021 economic projections and started shidding and farding all over the place when they realized what's about to happen.
New York is billions of dollars in the hole, and they're doing their damndest to chase everybody with money away. On top of that, NYC is in the beginnings of a mayor's race where the top candidates are running on UBI and other bullshit. The economic death spiral is bad, but really just starting as the smart folks realize what's about to happen. I assume Chicago is in about the same bucket.
Their one saving grace is that they might have a friendly administration in charge, so they'll probably get some form of bailout.
He's said that he's to the left of Bernie, but that he actually understands economics and realizes that there's better way to get the good things that leftists want (better healthcare, housing, education, a clean environment, etc)
Maybe this is foolish, but I feel bad for the kid.
The dad was a fitness icon, acting legend, and became governor of the biggest state.
There's almost no way to live up to your dad's life even with every advantage.
Pedophiles run Hollywood.
Woah, cool it on the anti-semitism bro.
I think the establishment just made a fatal mistake.
One of Sun Tzu's best words of wisdom was to give your enemy some kind of path to retreat to. The logic is that if they have a place to retreat to, maybe they won't fight so hard in the battle.
Right now, I'm not sure if Trump has a reasonable exit strategy. They're not going to let him free to be a hotelier, reality talk show host, media mogul, run again in 2024, or even just be a private citizen with a little political influence. At best, they're going to continue to hound him relentlessly with bullshit legal problems and worse. They're not going to give him any avenue to have influence going forward and will do their damndest to shut down his businesses and put him in jail.
If he's not already out of power or worse (unsure right now) he has little time to roll the dice. He might not have a billionaire lifestyle to go back home to.
The popular story taught to American grade school kids about Jesse Owens is that Hitler gave him the cold shoulder because of being butthurt about his wins because of the belief of German superiority.
The real story is that Olympics officials were giving Hitler grief for congratulating so many Germans during the first day of the games for their performances and "showing favoritism" and not greeting everybody. They told him to either meet with everybody or nobody and he just decided to stop meeting anybody. Owens had his victories on the second day when Hitler wasn't in attendance.
Fake News isn't a modern invention.
There's certain things you're not supposed to say here, but let's just say that Fake News isn't a modern invention that started with Trump.
Hope Texas has enough room for all of the refugees headed there kek.
What I try and tell leftists is imagine if Google had these policies back in the early 2000s? You wouldn't be able to ask questions about George W Bush and the Iraq war, Saddam, the yellowcake uranium, and so on because official sources had already decided what the truth is.
This is crazy. Forget Trump for a minute. Next time the US establishment goes back to normal and the war propaganda ramps up, you won't be able to dispute their propaganda without them banning you for going against what the "independent fact checkers" and "official sources" have stated.
And with supposedly all public gatherings now verboten (except if you're marching for BLM) it's very tough to even peacefully assemble to have any kind of mass public awareness about anything that's not establishment approved.
It's nearly the end of free speech as we know it.
What's next? Grocery stores can't sell food to Trump supporters?
Not a lawfag, but here's my random interpretation.
All of what you described can theoretically be legal so long as the legislature is the one doing that. The Constitution says that states are allowed to run elections as they see fit only insofar as the state legislature is the one making that decision.
Michigan can invent 100 billion votes for communist parties for the purposes of counting their votes and deciding their allotted electors only as long as their legislature is the entity that makes that law: not the governor, not the State Supreme Court, not some elected official. The legislature has to make that decision to invent 100 billion votes for commies and how they run it.
As the election rules weren't run by the legislature, how these states ran their elections ought to technically be null and void. The only thing that I can think of that might circumvent this is a "State of Emergency" due to Covid enacting some exception to normal state processes, but I'm not sure if that argument was raised anywhere.
The big issue here is whether Texas and other states have legal standing to sue: if Joe gets into a car accident with Susan, you can't have a random lawyer Richard being the one to sue. Only an affected party can sue. I think there's significant precedence to say that Texas should have standing here from rulings in other cases and that's my understanding of what should have happened. My guess is that the Supreme Court Justices lack the courage to take more heat or are compromised in some way.
I don't know if legal remedies are yet exhausted, but here's where I think Trump wins either way. If the Supreme Court wants to say that the law means nothing, so be it.I hereby declare Trump emperor for life. The law means nothing and nobody has any standing to sue.
Sorry Biden bros, I know you're shidding and farding everywhere, but it's over, I've decided.
If the Supreme Court is going to say that the Law doesn't matter, what's the point of it all?
To me, their main motive is not necessarily nation states going away. Even with a true authoritarian global government, you'd still want to have distinct management zones just for for the sake of making administration of a giant bureaucracy possible. Whether you call these administration zones Canada/Niger/Pennsylvania/Seattle or District 12/District 953/District 48/District 146 isn't the truly important thing.
To me, the elites main motive is money/power, which comes from making people poor, but not so desperate that they rebel. And this is seemingly being accomplished by many steps including burdening the West with a flood of invaders and lately Covid lockdowns that are harming the economy to a far greater level than they're helping fight transmissible disease.
