The far right stuff is a dead end in the States IMO. They've spent decades deriding the State as 'the beast' with the Republican core vote, so traditional fascism - which preaches subservience to the State and 'the leader' is a non starter. 

 

If you look at, say, Russia. Their far right are young skinheads, organised, they go around beating people up and doing heinous shit and probably have decent connections in the police and military. In the States, the 'right' are basically 80 stone, riding around Costco in disabled scooters blaming Communism for the spread of AIDS. 

 

Trump just blerts this shit out because he's lazy and it's a case of lash everything at the wall and see what sticks.

Putin has the final say doesn't he ? It was  reportedly him who told all their hooligans to stay at home during the world cup, which they did.

He actually took that quite well. I'm sure he fired someone as soon as he got off the stage like but still. A tiny smidge of humility there from the giant fake tanned cunt.

Would love to see them all go broke at some point and have to go and live in a trailer park in Detroit. Would take them about four years to figure out how to use a tin opener.

I think they'll be fine with tin openers. If ever a family had beans on a fry-up......

Are there still trailer parks in Detroit? You used to be able to by a house for a dollar.

“WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?”: TRUMP DESPERATE, DESPONDENT AS NUMBERS CRATER, “LOSER” LABEL LOOMS

 

With Donald Trump’s approval sinking to Jimmy Carter levels and coronavirus cases spiking across the country, Trump is reluctantly waking up to the grim reality that, if the current situation holds, his reelection is gone. Republicans that have spoken with Trump in recent days describe him as depressed and “down in the dumps.”

 

“People around him think his heart’s not in it,” a Republican close to the White House said. Torn between the imperative to win suburban voters and his instincts to play to his base, Trump has complained to people that he’s in a political box with no obvious way out. According to the Republican, Trump called Tucker Carlson late last week and said, “what do I do? What do I do?”

To console himself, Trump still has moments of magical thinking. “He says the polls are all fake,” a Republican in touch with Trump told me. But the bad news keeps coming. This week, Jacksonville, Florida—where Trump moved the Republican National Convention so he could hold a 15,000-person rally next month—mandated that people wear masks indoors to slow the explosion of COVID-19 cases. According to a Republican working on the convention, the campaign is now preparing to cancel the event so that Trump doesn’t suffer another Tulsa–like humiliation. “They probably won’t have it,” the source said. “It’s not going to be the soft landing Trump wanted.”

Neither the Trump campaign nor the White House responded to requests for comment.

Trump remains furious at his son-in-law Jared Kushner, whom he blames for the campaign’s dismal poll numbers. Axios reported this week that Trump complained privately that Kushner’s advice on criminal-justice reform damaged Trump politically. But because Kushner is family, sources say it’s unlikely that Trump will formally strip him of authority.

The Kushner thing just reinforces the idea that Trump thinks like an Italian mobster, lots of whom he's probably mingled with and done business with, the idea that you can only trust family members and that blood trumps ability, no pun intended.
