holy **** Jackie Chan is a fascist

In 2009, Chan was named an "anti-drug ambassador" by the Chinese government, actively taking part in anti-drug campaigns and supporting President Hu Jintao's declaration that illegal drugs should be eradicated, and their users punished severely. In 2014, when his own son Jaycee was arrested for cannabis use, he said that he was "angry", "shocked", "heartbroken" and "ashamed" of his son. He also remarked, "I hope all young people will learn a lesson from Jaycee and stay far from the harm of drugs. I say to Jaycee that you have to accept the consequences when you do something wrong."[182]

On 18 April 2009, during a panel discussion at the annual Boao Forum for Asia, he questioned whether or not broad freedom is a good thing.[183] Noting the strong tensions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he said, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."[184][185] Chan's comments prompted angry responses from several prominent figures in Taiwan and Hong Kong.[186][187] A spokesman later said Chan was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry, rather than in Chinese society at large.[188]

Trump already planning to sue.

[faftorial]

Good luck with that.

[NTP66]

Trump already planning to sue.

Everyone's suing everyone. Isn't that crazy election scandal woman now counter-suing Dominion for suing her?

Sort of. Not really. We'll see.

[count2infinity]

Oh, ‘cause of the recounts and lawsuits and election fraud claims and you guys don’t have high speed internet and all that stuff?

[Gaucho]

[DigitalGypsy66]

Trump already planning to sue.

Of course he is - it's a fundraising opportunity wasted if he didn't.

If only there was a simple explanation for why their stock has risen so quickly in the past year. If only, indeed.

The Matt Gaetz legal team is coming together (all city slickers from NYC) and one is:

Separately, the Gaetz campaign—Friends of Matt Gaetz—also looked north when in June it retained New York-based trial lawyer Marc Fernich. Fernich’s client list includes child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, and convicted sex trafficker Keith Raniere, who led the NXIVM cult. While Fernich is familiar with sex crimes cases, he does not have experience with campaign finance law.

Gotta love how the GOP would rather the US default on its obligations rather than find a way to actually deal with it. Must be nice to only care about debt when you're not in power.

[Viva la Ben]

The debt grew 7.8 trillion under the GOP in four years.
