We know
Well, yes, that would be the case. That's what fascists do, and that is exactly where the GOP and the Trumpists are heading. It's red caps instead of brown shirts, but the story and the behavior is the same.
Profecto
I'm not sure why we're interested in or relying on Mary Trump for this kind of analysis.
Modern, capitalist, purely profit-driven news is all about cheap and lazy reportage. That’s why you get “name check” bullshit like this instead of actual journalism.
It’s also why there are very few news photographers now… “just snap some pics with your phone.”
Not that I’m bitter or anything
Years ago now, i was working contract security in downtown Minneapolis.
There was a nightclub adjacent to the property that had been notorious for causing gang related fights (as well as pulling shit like booking ‘up and coming’ rappers on the same night as their ‘rivals’ to stir up drama.)
Fights spilled over into our property every weekend. Shootings once a month. Nobody cared except the people who had to clean up the bodies. No press coverage, not even a blurb.
Until one night a a Vikings player got shot. He was a 3rd string rookie… but it was a slow news cycle so it got press.
Within 24 hours they had the nightclub closed down “temporarily” during the investigation. Within the week they pulled the liquor license, effectively closing the joint. A few days later they did the same for every property ran by the owners.
Was talking when it was happening and everyone just kinda thought it was a one off. Like… nope…
I'm bitter! I fart in their general direction!
What are you bitter about, precisely?
And then they blame it on Jewish space lasers. Pretty air tight I'd you ask me.
We're doomed.
Literally?
Well it feels like half the world is literally on fire right now, so...
Once his twitter gets reinstated…literally. Lol
That's been done for ages he just doesn't use it.
I forgot.
