Trump’s “Perfect Plan” To Become Dictator In November Runs Through 12-18 Swing State Legislatures

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 4 hours ago
*by Bob Fitrakis, Joel Segal and Harvey Wasserman* Donald Trump’s “*Perfect Plan*” to become dictator in November now runs through 30 Republican-controlled state legislatures, with the pivot in 12-18 swing states. Anyone hoping for any remnant shreds of human rights and personal freedom has just seven months to stop the terminal destruction of what’s left of American democracy. Nothing is hidden or a surprise. There are no excuses. Trump’s path to dictatorship is simple…and no secret. Its primary foundation is the stripping from the voter rolls some 17 million American citizens. ... more »

"Worst Recession in 150 Years"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 4 hours ago
*"Worst Recession in 150 Years"* by Jim Rickards "The stock market had another big day today, spurred by the Fed’s massive recent liquidity injections. But you really shouldn’t be terribly surprised by the rally. Even the worst bear markets see substantial bouncebacks. And you can expect the market to give back all of its recent gains in the months ahead as the economic fallout of the lockdowns becomes apparent. This bear market has a long way to run. And we could actually be looking at the worst recession in 150 years if one economist is correct. Let’s unpack this... My regular r... more »
