They get their power from conservative news coverage. If a US senator got locked up in El Salvador and Fox didn't cover it, who is to say he was missing at all? Even if they did cover it they'd point that he was trying to bring back an alleged criminal. And without any oversight of Fox News they'd get away with it. Shameless.

No he got sick from having a paradoxical reaction to benzos and then trying to quit them by going into a medically induced coma in Russia where I GUARANTEE YOU the fsb undoubtedly took blackmail video of him cheating on his wife. His wife had terminal kidney cancer but then miraculously recovered as well while on the carnivore diet so I doubt it is all that harmful.

Jordan Peterson constantly quotes Solzhenitsyn warning of what the Liberal party would do to canada or the democrats would do to the usa. He would then promote a tool like polievre or an overt fascist orangeman without any irony at all. Today he seems to be confused about what fascism is and has oftentimes waffles between endorsing them or trying to avoid discussing them, like a true intellectual coward who was wrong about everything he ever said

They are powerful because the various branches of government follow their rulings. But if the executive doesn't then we have a problem.

They teach in school that the court's weakness is that it lacks an enforcement mechanism. It seems that the founding fathers believed that broken judiciaries are balanced by the common person's conscience. This is back when people like Benjamin Franklin was able to influence thousands of literate, land owning Americans through his periodicals.

They did not anticipate that eventually the Russians and oligarchs would create mass influence disinfo campaigns using cable news, email, and social media.

Fox News and the other propaganda channels are giving absurd amounts of coverage to liars. NBC just had on the secretary of the treasury where he was pitched softball questions. Without blinking this soulless minion claimed a crash is good for americans. But even a complete donkey would be skeptical of the claim that a massive economic contraction would be good for everyone.

This moron was talking out of both his blow holes about how the tariffs and economic collapse would lead to lower prices. Anyone who couldn't spot the obvious contradictions (these people are contradicting themselves in the same paragraph) is beyond all hope.

The reason is that Trump can reverse the tariffs tomorrow. Or a court could freeze them if it rules trump acted illegally.

But it does seem that they might be doing some serious insider trading on the market's volatility. Its funny that until 2024 this was illegal. But the supreme court wanted this. So here we are.

A large part of their movement is based on aesthetics. And csam is probably a bridge too far for them. It just looks ugly. But I have no doubt many of them don't care about that either.

But from the blackmail angle, the public image of a sick pedo is not compatible with the orange man's public facing persona and his narcissism would make him the perfect blackmail target

There's nothing that explains what orange man is doing better than blackmail.

I was skeptical up until the tariffs. Now it's obvious they've got blackmail.

Alao an interview with epstein was leaked last year where he mentioned trump having sex on his plane. But in 2017 that clip was suppressed for some reason.

We know trump flew on that plane many times and that it was rigged with secret cameras

Guess who is using data illegally gathered from social security to prevent legal voters from voting? If you guessed the king in orange you'd be right.

They have been purging voter rolls all over the country for a long time now. But their methods have vastly improved recently. In the swing states last year they purged 3.5 million voters. In the midterms next year they want to challenge the eligibility of everyone.

Only voters with a passport or original birth certificate would be allowed to vote.

The US has 3.5 billion in trade with Russia. The tariffs include Iran; Venezuela, etc... they also slapped them on countries which we have a trade surplus with.

It's also looking like they used chatgpt to write the list but then specifically omitted five countries. Russia, north korea, Cuba, Belarus. Russia and its fine closest allies. How can anyone see this and not think the Kremlin does t own the Epstein tapes
