He'll probably turn up with a new found respect for CCP, or found dead under mysterious circumstances. This will happen lol. Losing life and or wealth isn't worth opposing the CCP over. He will happily put on their leash. I mean it's not that CCP didn't have a part to play in facilitating Alibaba's rise for 20 years or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 A Truth Reckoning: Why We’re Holding Those Who Lied For Trump Accountable Quote From Day One at the Trump White House, up has been down, yes has been no, failure has been success. Sean Spicer set the tone with the inauguration crowd size – the worst kind of whopper, as it demanded that people disbelieve their own eyes. The next day, Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer’s lie with a new term, “alternative facts.” Spicer’s successor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied at scale, from smearing those who accused Trump of sexual harassment to conjuring jobs statistics. Her successor, Stephanie Grisham, over the course of a year, never even held a press conference, though the BS continued unabated across friendly outlets. And finally, Kayleigh McEnany, Harvard Law graduate, a propaganda prodigy at 32 who makes smiling falsehood an art form. All of this magnified by journalists too often following an old playbook ill-prepared for an Orwellian communication era. As American democracy rebounds, we need to return to a standard of truth when it comes to how the government communicates with the governed. The easiest way to do that, from where I sit, is to create repercussions for those who don’t follow the civic norms. Trump’s lawyers lie gleefully to the press and public, but those lies, magically, almost never made it into briefs and arguments – contempt, perjury and disbarment keep the professional standards high. So what’s the parallel in the dark arts of communication? Simple: Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty. Press secretaries like Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Jay Carney, who left the White House with their reputations in various stages of intact, made millions taking their skills — and credibility — to corporate America. Trump’s liars don’t merit that same golden parachute. Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. We’re going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we’d approach a Trump tweet. Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away. This isn’t cancel culture, which is a societal blight. (There’s surely a nice living for each of these press secretaries on the true-believer circuit.) Nor is this politically motivated, as Forbes’ pro-entrepreneur, pro-growth worldview has generally placed it in the right-of-center camp over the past century — this standard needs to apply to liars from either party. It’s just a realization that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Our national reset starts there.

He was made look like a buffoon but woman who shat on a toppled down cop-car in full public view, or the woman who sat buck-naked with legs spread in front of cops, were hailed heroes. I was in the States when Trump was inaugurated, in California, my American collogues were losing their sh*t as the day approached. Every weekend they were going to protest rallies in downtown LA and SF. Edited January 10, 2021 by Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yeah I wouldn't draw parallel between someone sh*ting on a cop car and actual Neo-Nazis flying the flag of slavery while carrying automatic rifles. But that's just me. Also GAF on suicide watch after Parler and other right-wing nutcase sites and subreddits got deplatformed. They just banned discussing any fringe and conspiracy theories about election fraud and Qanon stuff. You love to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that but Hugo Chavez just stole the US election and he's been dead for 7 years. The communist motto: what is dead may never die.

Reminds me of the good ol' "very fine people on both sides" gem from that dumbass pile of orange human sh*t. One side's worst offense is throwing hissy fit over non-issues. While the other side would like specific sections of people to not exist. Totally equivalent level of "morons" I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
