Trump’s ex-chief of staff says he is a fascist and would govern as a dictator on.ft.com/40emzGU

Who wins from a Trump victory, the inevitable US debt default and the implosion of the US dollar? Apart from Putin, of course, watch Musk, Thiel and the Crypto Bros. This thread by US investigative journalist Dave Troy lays it all out. Everything else is theatre.

Applies equally to the ABC.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to

How can any decent Republican vote for a man who is essentially saying Liz should be taken out and shot. The guy is unhinged and dangerous and serious about the idea of dictatorship.

TRUMP: My political opponents should face a firing squad. HARRIS: Here’s my sixteen-point plan to directly target middle class families and help them succeed. NEW YORK TIMES: Both candidates trade barbs in the final week of the race.

Why would the world’s richest man be f*cked if Donald Trump loses?

As this presidential campaign comes to an end, let me say a few words to the folks who have not yet decided who they'll vote for – or who have decided to sit the election out:

Why are billionaires lining up behind Republicans? Because their wealth has doubled since the GOP enacted Trump's tax cuts for the rich. They want even more tax breaks, of course. But they also know that the more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

If Donald Trump is elected: The struggle against climate change is over. Women will lose the right to control their own bodies. We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage. Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza. Do not sit this election out.

I’m travelling in beautiful Japan. With ‘Brand USA’ destroyed, Australia could learn from the Japanese who have a humble, collective, earth-respecting, quiet culture that honours nature, beauty and human dignity.

On such days the immortal words in 2002 of former Whitehall permanent secretary Sir Richard Mottram re-echo down the ages: “We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. We're all completely fucked.”

We knew Americans en masse were stupid. But THAT stupid?? What a truly f&$&ed country. What a truly f&£^ed world.

American voters fucked around — and now they're about to find out. As Steve Bannon admitted post election, Trump will implement the fascist manifesto Project 2025. The U.S. is about to become as cruel, barbaric, medieval and sadistic as any authortarian country in the world. 🥺👇

Seems the right song for this moment. youtu.be/GdcSGxXJ8vM

🧵Donald Trump’s victory is an inflection point for the America, the West, and the planet. It has been enabled by a network of billionaires, think tanks and lobbying groups that believe, as does the Russian Government, that democracy must be destroyed /1 bylinetimes.com/2024/11/08/tru…
