    Trump calls all his opponents communists and Marxists. Strangely, he doesn't call Putin a communist

    As has been pointed out price fixing is not being proposed..

    But as you are so against any notion of government interference in the market I wonder what your stance is on Trump promising to reduce energy prices by 50% within 12 months?

    He seems very bitter that Biden withdrew from the race : keeps bringing it up at every opportunity, claims that it was a 'coup' and that Biden supposedly now hates Kamala.

    Chuck Todd in a Washington Week with the Atlantic panel discussion made a couple observations of interest.

    First, Trump had been for months working towards a chance to defeat Biden. Then all of a sudden Biden walks away, leaving Trump without an opportunity to offset his 2020 defeat by Biden. This has been a source of frustration for Trump. Consequently, Trump continues to attack Biden, as if trying to compensate.

    By analogy, this reminds me of a card player who sits down and wins the first pot, collects his winnings then walks off, with (Trump) calling after him, Hey! Come back here and give us a chance to get even!

    Second, Todd observed that there’s something similar between the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections. In 2016 Hillary Clinton was identified as old school having been Secretary of State, Senator, and First Lady, while Trump appeared as someone new, and in a close Electoral College race, his non-old school celebrity shiny newness may have contributed in some way to his win.

    Now in 2024 all the focus for a couple of years was on the Biden vs Trump campaign, and typical of most Vice Presidents who are somewhat hidden in the shadow of their President, Harris nationally was unknown by voters.

    Jimmy Kimmel did a skit where, on the sidewalk outside his studio, asked passersby the name of the current Vice President. Most did not answer Harris. Surprisingly, Kimmel’s studio was in California, where Harris had been the Attorney General for 2 terms, and recently the state’s US Senator.

    Whereas the election denial battle had been going on for about 4 years between 2 old guys, one a former president and the other the current one, when Biden stepped aside his removed shadow revealed Harris, and on the national scene someone appearing new. And with the historically rapid consolidation of the Democratic Party about Harris, different and shiny too. Unlike the 2 old school-like fighting old men. So will the voters act somewhat like the shiny newness of Trump in 2016 and vote Harris 2024?

    Whatever Putin is, it's very far from being a Communist.

    In any case, Trump's ridiculous accusations against his opponents as being either "Socialist", "Marxist" or "Communist" is one of the most laughable aspects of his whole schtick. It's so transparently ludicrous. Outside of historical discussions, I haven't heard that trio of words mentioned so much in modern day discourse as I have in the last few years.

    Utterly farcical.

    Can someone generate an image with AI with a person in a MAGA cap, wearing a nappy, a giant bandage on their ear, chugging down a cup of Vance cum? Weird is a generous term for them.

    Oh, yeah.

    Which reminds me, it might be worth looking at what Trump is likely to try if he loses at the ballot.

    Of the six or seven swing states, which would be the easiest for Trump to flip via the state legislature, state governor, supreme court, election certification officials and so on?

    It is up to the states how they return electors, and that is a point the US Supreme Court would likely confirm, so any swing states states with a Republican majority and a couple of MAGA election certification officials are in serious danger of going for Trump even if their popular vote says otherwise.

    I'm in absolutely no doubt that they already have this all tied up. Far too many billionaires have too much at stake to lose this election.

    Yes, it's almost like everyone forgot his, "Don't vote for me, we have the votes. We have more than enough votes" line.

    There is 0% chance of no shenanigans happening after 5th November.

    I really wish someone, anyone, even Harris on the debate asks him to explain the difference between socialism and communism. Honestly don't think he'd have a clue.

    You could probably get him to admit to being a Leninist if you phrased your question well. I imagine the only Lenin he's aware of is the singer with The Beatles.

    But all the old communists and marxists are very much in the Putin camp. It’s perhaps the most bizzare feature of current political discourse that bible bashing MAGA Americans and champagne socialist Marxist ideologues are all singing off the same hymn sheet when it comes to Putin. Demonstrates the effectiveness of Russian propaganda. They have kept all their old Marxist friends while at the same time making new ones on the conservative right. How is that possible??? Someone is being incredibly disingenuous.

    Interview by Salon (left-leaning online mag) with Rick Wilson, cofounder of the Lincoln Project. Sounds a bit like one of Wilson's podcasts but interesting read, he's saying the Democratic Party should not let up on Trump as tussling with Trump is like bathing a cat - don't let go of the scruff of its neck while wriggles, scratches and bites you.

    Interesting ABC poll from yesterday. Massive 60 point swing on the topic of physical health.

    ‘Among all adults, Harris leads on two measures on which Biden lagged badly. Americans by a wide 56%-26% pick her over Trump as having the physical health to serve effectively as president, reversing Trump's 31-point lead over Biden on this attribute last month. And Harris leads Trump by 9 percentage points in being seen as having the mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively, erasing a 30-point Trump lead over Biden on this measure.’

    its funny that your opinions are based of imagination

    sure but if the inputs themselves are imagination , "Trump is hitler" kind of stuff then you end up with opinions based on others imagination rather then rather than the closest you can get to reality, in theory would should feel sorry for US democrats given the high propensity to mental issues but at the same time its amusing to watch not being an american

    Despite what Trump is now claiming, he has been behind Project 2025 since the beginning of its planning. It is a plan to take over the administration of all sectors of the Federal government with Trump loyalists. That is playbook number one for setting up an authoritarian dictatorship.

    Comparing Trump to Hitler is entirely a legitimate statement.

    Its not Democrat's carrying around imaginary bottles of Vance semen is it. I am not certain if the Republicans have mental issues - more likely it's senility.
