People should be very afraid of another Trump term. During the conversation about Xi, Trump changed the subject to "the evil people" (his opponents) in the U.S. Trump's dangerous.

In 2018, Trump praised Xi when the country's Communist party announced the elimination of presidential term limits, allowing Xi to serve indefinitely.

"He's now president for life, president for life," Trump said at the time. "And he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday."

I saw that! What a danger. Most national security professionals in the West are appalled by PRC's surveillance state technology. That is right out of Orwell's book "1984". Neighbors give other neighbors patriotism & loyalty scores that the government monitors & uses. Human rights experts think PRC's internal surveillance tracking violates all norms of personal liberties. Scarier still is how PRC tech and social media can be abused, and if PRC already abused its social media and technology to control the population, what keeps them from not being tempted to track and build dossiers on users of its tech in the West?

So it's very scary that Trump sees Xi as a model to try to match.

Lies and distortions like this are why team Kamala is losing.

Lies and distortions

It's his own words, Hombre.

It's only distorted because of the FrightWing prism you view the world through.

""He's now president for life, president for life," Trump said at the time. "And he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday, us liberals are just alarmists, Trump isn't really a threat to democracy! Jesus ---- Christ what will it take before --------- wake the F**k! up?."

Yeah

After that interview I doubt even Rogan can still support him though I'm probably giving Rogan more credit than he deserves.

None of Lewzer's supporters are ever going to change their minds for any reason.

Acknowledging the strengths of an adversary is not praising them. The lies and distortion are why Kamala is losing.

"Acknowledging the strengths of an adversary is not praising them."

Running down and undermining American Democracy while praising authoritarian governments is exactly what Trumpy the authoritarian fascist is doing. Cozying up to dictators while trashing his own country is Trumpy's thing and makes him an embarrassment for America.

...

The lies and distortion are why Kamala is losing.

Trumpy has been at for decades. Lying and distorting the truth about Joe Biden. Trying (quite successfully) with his hateful lies and distortions and nonsensical babble to bring down Biden's poll numbers gradually each year with tens of thousands of maga lies.

But unfortunately for Trumpy and his maga maroons they spent all their resources trashing the Biden's and suddenly only had a few months to figure out how to trash Kamala. And in those few months Kamala went from a non candidate to tying and then beating Trumpy. And if things keep going Kamala's way (the way they have been) then It will be the election of the century.

And Trumpy and his criminal cohorts will finally be relegated to the ash heap of history ... . Where they belong.

That's the problem with you MAGATs; you won't believe your own eyes and ears.

Trump's statements are on tape, for crying out loud.

"The lies and distortion are why Kamala is losing."

Meanwhile, the headline at Drudge Report is

HARRIS RETAKES LEAD

Oops.

HARRIS RETAKES LEAD

Obviously fake news. If it said "LEWZER RETAKES LEAD", then it would be true. These are the rules.

Rr 13

The election will be uncomfortably close but I will right now guarantee that Kamala will win the popular vote.

#15 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-10-27 11:47 AM

It's no surprise that Trump is willing to get on all fours to receive Xi's fist.

Popular Vote don't mean Diddly Squat. That and $2.00 will get you a cup of bad Coffee.

America.... Exceptional..... So Democratic...

Only Here is such a stupid outcome... Even Possible.

More Winning!

"Popular Vote don't mean Diddly Squat."

Oh dear. We are still not a Perfect Union yet?

We ARE working on that.

It's called the National Popular Vote Compact.

Look it up. Get involved. And for Gawds sake stop with the incessant whining.

Trump and Xi, sitting in a tree, kissing...
Simply put, fascism is the permanent rule of a few over the many, using violence and intimidation. Both Trump and Xi, and of course Putin, are in that classic mold of fascist leaders out to grift it all for themselves, no matter the body count.

He's literally telling us what he plans on doing. If he's elected then he will never leave office until his death because he knows prison awaits him.
He's got at least some considerable percent of his part onboard as is demonstrated by he head of the House Freedom Causus publicly advocating do away with elections.
