Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

Could go in any number of threads but anyway.

Big money into Trumps pocket & a free(er) reign to propagandise on Facebook. Why cant we have any billionaires who will go to war with other billionaires for our entertainment at least.

Isnt that why theres so much conspiracy around George Sorros?

I thought that was mostly just good old fashioned weaponised anti-semitism. Not really damaging Soros or attacking his interests as such, just using him as the bogey man for idiots.

The next 4 years are going to be so much worse than feared.

Considering, Meta, Apple, Amazon and a whole bunch of other major companies have donated $1mill into his inauguration fundā€¦ You can sort of see where itā€™s all going

Itā€™s following the Putin playbook. Force the oligarchs to get on side or deal with the consequences once the ruler finds a window of opportunity for them to exit

Heā€™s also announced that the Gulf of Mexica is going to be renamed the Gulf of Americaā€¦ Tackling the big issues head on!

Canā€™t wait to see what New Mexico gets renamed as.

No more chat about those pesky disagreements on workers visas anyway.

Long story short. George Soros made a lot of money and thought he should give most of it away. Being descended from Holocaust survivors and victims of Russian pogroms he decided to fund Universities that would promote democracy in former USSR states. Russian propaganda promoted conspiracy theories about George Soros which right wing authoritarians the world over fell for hook, line and sinking.

This all happened before the interweb but the CTs really took off when it strolled into the frame.

No it wouldnā€™t, Newcastle fans suddenly became super keen on Saudi arabia all of a sudden.

Elonā€™s victim mentality would fit in perfectly on Merseyside.

Not sure why these gimps are all staying on his shitty platform.

Loving the blowup for the Liverpool story. All it was, was his dad saying his son has previously mentioned heā€™d love to buy them, years ago. Nothing about buying them now, thereā€™s been zero offers or expressions of interest. At this stage, the ā€œoutrageā€ on the suggestion will more than likely get him to put an offer in, rather than anything else.
