Drumpf, Fraudit, The Big Lie.. all sound like something you'd hear an obnoxious five year old say.

The "Big Lie" refers specifically to Nazi propaganda and is a historically sound term. It's not supposed to be a "snappy slam."

quote:

The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Hitler claimed the technique was used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic. Historian Jeffrey Herf says the Nazis used the idea of the original big lie to turn sentiment against Jews and bring about the Holocaust.

Herf maintains that Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi Party actually used the big lie propaganda technique that they described – and that they used it to turn long-standing antisemitism in Europe into mass murder.

Apple is moving their encryption to China, both to comply with the Chinese government'd demands and to "provide them a shield from American Law"

Its as bad as it sounds. While Google and most others also do this same thing, Apple specifically prides itself on its "Privacy Protection". While Apple is arguing this will only affect their Chinese customers, stay suspicious.

Israel figured out the loophole: Turn them into terrorists by Apartheid, and then bomb the poo poo out of them while claiming Human Shields.

Which, of note, IDF openly got caught using human shields and when the Israeli Supreme Court banned the practice, IDF whined about it. So they are a-okay with human shields.

He's already pissed off at Ducey for certifying the election, so he's the guy already. Donnie was yelling about him not providing security for the Great And Wonderful Audit because Cyber Ninjas did planning in case they would get attacked by antifa.

Biden's fp so far is a direct continuation of trump's. The optics internally are different - Trump would be bragging about this while Biden keeps quiet -but the actual policy is the same. I was hopeful with the Yemen announcement but it doesn't seem like that was meaningful.

What about when Irish property management firm Investi is involved in a scandal uncovered by Bill Gates's fiance Natalie Estes? Of course, it was all a setup by Natilie Estes-Gates to to use government investigations lower share price, force the company to dilute shares and create an opportunity for hostile takeover.

Then Investi shareholders may initiate an investigation of N. Estes-Gates investments in Investi during the initial investigation of the scandalous Investi investments that prompted Investi-Gate.
