Trump: If I don't win the election, China will own the US and you'll have to learn to speak Chinese

August 11, 2020 at 11:15 am EDT

“If I don’t win the election, China will own the United States. You’re going to have to learn to speak Chinese, you want to know the truth.”

— President Trump, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt.

He is going to:

1) destroy the USA
2) sell the wreckage to China
3) compel all people to adopt Chinese as the new global lingua franca '
4) destroy the Bill of Rights and Constitution
5) ban churches
6) hurt 'god'


That is one serious bad ass!

Barack was right to have him on his side!

Didn't you have your granddaughter, Ivanka's daughter, Arabelle, sing a Chinese song for Xi when you invited him to Mar-A-Lago early in your only term?

From the manufacture of everything we buy from goods to medication - to owning enormous amounts of land and companies all over America, not to mention over a trillion dollars of our debt.

23. Another tin-hat theory

Okay, it's Tuesday morning and I'll be spending the whole day working at home staring at a computer screen. Luckily for me, I really like what I do, but I wasn't spending so much time at the screen before the lockdown.

Anyway, so I'm a bit punchy. And it occurred to me that maybe -- just maybe -- Fox News is in cahoots with companies that make blood pressure medication. Considering how Fox spins and spews stuff to make people angry and keep them angry so they'll come back and get angry again and watch the commercials, I have to wonder if there's a connection.

Of course, if this were a novel or movie, the drug companies wouldn't advertise directly: it'd be too obvious. Hmmm...

Ok, time to take off the tin hat.

One of our number is a prescriber in Tacoma, Wash. He goes by Aristus.

Aristus reports that the vast majority of BP meds are cheap generics. The go-to drug is Lisinopril, which everyone I know who takes BP meds either is or has been on. That shit is so cheap they almost pay you to haul it away.

On those “lists of things fascists always do” one of them is that they create an enemy where there is none, describe the horrors they will inflict on you, and tell you only they (the facist) can protect you from them.
