Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy
Yes that’s me alright, now where are my meds

The one thing that Trump has done exceptionally well in his one and only term is cause divisions and hatred amongst his own people.You will see the light when the court cases begin. He will be facing thousands of law suits that’s why he is so desperate to hang onto power. He does not care about the people he only cares how he is going to keep his fat arse out of a prison cell.

Election 2020: 7 things we learned after Trump gives rare details of virus fight

Donald Trump gave a detailed account of his recent battle with coronavirus - as well as son Barron's recovery - at a rally in Iowa, a swing state the Republicans appear to fear losing.
The incumbent US President is embarking on a barnstorming campaign trip around key election battlegrounds, just days after recovering from coronavirus, as he continues to trail Democratic rival Joe Biden.
And while he seemed to use his 14-year-old son's quick recovery as an advert for getting children back to school, his recovering White House aides failed to wear masks.
Reflecting criticism of what has been labelled Trump and his administration's callous disregard for safety during the pandemic, a sign outside the Make America Great Again rally at Des Moines International Airport declared it a "superspreader event".
Here's everything you need to know.
Barron Trump had 'corona-19' for 'like 2 seconds' but didn't even know it

Trump described his youngest son Barron, 14, as "beautiful and...free", going on to detail how he recovered from "corona-19" in "like two seconds".
"He had it for such a short period of time, I don't even think he knew he had it," he said.
"Because they're young and their immune systems are strong and they fight it off."
The President used it as a segue into calling for children to "get back to school".
Trump describes his own fight with the 'China virus'

Trump said he "didn't love" his time battling the virus, which saw him spend three days in Walter Reed military hospital on the outskirts of Washington - before returning to the White House prior to testing negative.
"It's a little tough, you know, I had the temperature and you don't feel good," he explained.
He again claimed he was given the option of a series of treatments and chose Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' experimental antibody cocktail - which made him feel "like Superman" within hours.
In reality he was administered with numerous treatments, including antibodies and steroids.
He said the "scariest" thing was not knowing "where it was going to go".

Two weeks after the coronavirus spread through the White House leading to at least 19 positive infections, staffers have begun trickling back to the West Wing, saying they only had mild symptoms.
But many are continuing to spurn the use of masks despite criticism that they have been careless about the outbreak.
Ahead of Trump's trip to Iowa on Wednesday, staff members at the presidential residence walked around the West Wing without wearing masks, eschewing the precautions that were put in place in the immediate aftermath of Trump's diagnosis as the virus spread.
The White House declined to comment on reports that White House head of security Crede Bailey is seriously ill with Covid-19 and was taken to the hospital in late September.
Why Trump Iowa rally shows he is worried

Trump travelling to Iowa so close to Election Day suggests his campaign is concerned about voter support there, despite him beating Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state by almost 10 per cent in 2016.
But opinion polls have shown Iowa to be competitive and it's not the only battleground state Trump risks losing to Biden with only three weeks to go.
On Thursday he will be in North Carolina and Florida, on Friday he will campaign in Florida and Georgia and on Saturday he will speak in Michigan and Wisconsin.
All are states he won in 2016 but polls suggest could be in danger of going to the Democrats this time around.
Biden widens his poll lead with just three weeks to go

An Ipsos poll released this week showed Biden widening his lead in the key swing states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania - states Trump won in 2016.
And despite Trump calling his Democratic rival the "worst presidential candidate in history", the ex-VP sits a record 17 points ahead of the incumbent President in a Opinium Research poll with just weeks to go.
It is just short of the lead in the popular vote that Ronald Reagan had prior to his landslide victory in 1984.
Four years later, however, Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis led George HW Bush by 17 points only to suffer defeat - though that was from a poll taken months before in July, affording him plenty of time to recover.
Biden says Trump thinks old voters are expendable
a man drinking from a glass: Biden is only three years older than Trump© REUTERSBiden is only three years older than Trump
In Florida on Tuesday, Biden told seniors at a community centre that Trump had recklessly dismissed the threat that the virus had posed to their at-risk population.
Trump has, however, touted his handling of the crisis.
The President has continually attacked his 77-year-old rival's age - despite being only three years his junior - including tweeting a photoshopped snap of Biden in a retirement home.
It is a particularly odd strategy for Trump, who desperately needs the votes of seniors in Florida to hold on to the Oval Office.
Iowa rally branded 'superspreader' event on billboard

Outside Trump's Iowa rally, a campaign group decided to pay for a giant billboard declaring the rally a "superspreader event".
Crowd photos show attendees crammed together and many not wearing masks, while the Republican leader reiterated he is "immune".
Earlier in the White House Rose Garden, Trump had croaked his way through a speech, stifling the occasional cough in a signal that he might not be the 'Superman' he claims to be.
He has repeatedly thrown Trump-branded face masks into the crowds of his rallies this week.

Fox News, Breitbart News, Rush Limbaugh radio host, Rupert Murdoch and all of his right wing newspapers, and off course Donald Trump himself.
Before I forget to ask. Did you ever vote for the National Party , no let me answer that, off course you did.
Spoken like a true liberal .... get personal and aggressive...'burn the pigs' ...{sigh}
As regards your attitude to Trumps comments as regards women... well if I was a liberal I would call you gay or something... but I am not. All I shall say is I agree with Lionel... 98% of red blooded normal heterosexual males speak like that at times... and it does not have a whit with whether he is capable of running the country or not.
98% of men? You obviously hang around with a bunch of arseholes. Today Trump is begging white woman to vote for him. When Florida woman turn against him then you know his time is up. Have you shown those video to the female members of your family and told them that you love Trump? Off course you have not and you are still to confirm that you were a Nat voter because your vote deprived people like your fellow Trump lover, Lionel, a better life for 48 years.
Everyone has skeletons in their closet, things they're not proud of, things they wish they could change. Some realize the errors of their ways sooner, rather than later.
I rather look at the fact that in 1992, a referendum was held, and the overwhelming majority of my white compatriots voted to end apartheid.
Then in 1997, my black compatriots chose a national anthem that comprised of among other languages, Afrikaans and English, in spite of everything that they went through.
If they can forgive, who are you not to?

Hunter Biden email scandal. Whether the emails are a hoax or not, whether Biden did anything wrong or not is not the point. Trying to stifle the story is the point. Just which party is part of the deep state, and which party is not subject to law and order?
Wednesday morning, the New York Post published a series of emails that describe Hunter Biden's lucrative relationship with a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma, and then describe how his father, then the vice president of the United States, intervened to help his son peddle influence.
Now, we've known the outlines of this story for quite some time. But these emails add damning detail. No one appears to dispute that they're real, not even the Joe Biden campaign. There are whispers that it's all part of a Russian disinformation campaign. If this is a hoax, it is the most complex, sophisticated hoax ever perpetrated. It doesn't seem possible. There's too much detail.
These e-mails came from an Apple laptop that was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop last year and then abandoned there. After a certain number of days with no payment, the shop's owner took legal possession of the laptop. When he looked inside, he found tens of thousands of emails, including exchanges with representatives of foreign companies and foreign governments. The laptop apparently belonged to Hunter Biden.
The shop owner was stunned by this, by the appearance of corruption, and he was afraid for his family. So late last year, he gave the laptop to the FBI and kept a copy of the hard drive for himself. He never heard back from the FBI. By May, he was anxious. So he made overtures to Senator Mike Lee's office and at least one conservative nonprofit, but no one responded. Finally, the man contacted Rudy Giuliani's office. And Wednesday's story is the result of that.
The tech monopolies crushed the story the moment it appeared. An executive at Facebook called Andy Stone, a former Democratic staffer, announced that his company would censor the New York Post story. As he put it, Facebook would be "reducing its distribution on our platform."
Twitter quickly followed suit by locking the New York Post's entire Twitter account. One of the biggest newspapers in the world was banned from Twitter, which then prevented its users from sharing the story, both privately and publicly. Those who tried to share it got this message: "Your tweet couldn't be sent because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful."
In a separate explanation, Twitter wrote this: "We don't permit the use of our services to directly distribute content obtained through hacking that contains private information, may put people in physical harm or danger, or contains trade secrets."

.....and,
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told "Hannity" Wednesday that Twitter's administrators "essentially have me at gunpoint" and won't allow her to access to her personal account until she deletes a link to the explosive New York Post report on Hunter Biden that she shared with her one million followers earlier Wednesday.
