    So MAGA wants to take away birthright citizenship and institute game show winner citizenship. This is the same government we’re relying on to do the right thing in a nuclear confrontation.

      I am more frightened of the Trump Regime than Stalin’s in this regard. Both are evil, but one completely is completely void of sanity.

      It is my hope that foreign governments are taking actions to take away the nuclear button from Trump. Maybe a deal with Qatar to activate the self-destruct if Trump attempts to give the order for a nuclear dawn?

        I don’t know about foreign governments - who on the US side would make those deals, given that MAGA is running the government? But our own military isn’t run by robots, and they’re prepared not to take stupid rash actions on command from Bonespurs. This was talked about when he took office the first time.

    20th century fascism was characterized by a thick layer of self importance and respectability to hide a vulgar core.

    21st century fascism is just vulgar through and through.

      It’ll be funny and poetic until we all get to watch a contestant die for the first time during a prime time live event … and the crowd roars and the ratings go through the roof as everyone realizes … the gladiatorial games to the death have returned … and this time we can stream it!!!

        Trumpflix, but that show is pay per view with the premium plus $199 a month plan. $399 pay per view of course.

    Scenes envisaged include one in San Francisco, where the immigrants are sent down a mine to collect the most gold

    In Cape Canaveral, Florida, the hub of NASA, contestants would rush to build and launch a rocket.

    In Hayward, Wisconsin, they’d struggle to keep their balance on logs.

      That is not true. Any immigrants that can spend $5 million are free to buy a fresh, hot, and newly minted social security card!
