THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Ex-California]

Not all socialism is Marxism. Marxism was about class struggle, on lines of wealth.

Draw it down even further. Marxism is about the struggle of the oppressed vs the oppressors. This is why we can rightly call this totalitarian insanity of the Left right now Cultural Marxism; it has nothing to do with economics

Agreed, but Stalin never hyperventilated about micro-aggressions, which is I think what we were talking about.

Fuck, it's hot here.

Make Slovenia Great Again

Slovenian tourist agencies have been organizing “on the footsteps of Melania Trump” tours showing the places where she lived, studied and worked. Websites promoting the nation of stunning natural beauty also say: “Welcome to the homeland of the new First Lady of the United States of America!”

My sympathy runs very shallow for people like this.

Shkreli invokes MAGA:

Con man, brilliant mind, or myth? Jury in Shkreli trial now decides

The fate of Martin Shkreli is now with the jury.

After five weeks of testimony and examinations, lawyers made closing arguments Thursday and Friday, and the jury began deliberating this morning on Shkreli’s case. The ex-pharmaceutical CEO stands accused of eight counts of securities and wire fraud, and he faces up to 20 years in prison. Like most things involving Shkreli, who became infamous for raising the price of a life-saving drug by more than 5,000 percent, the trial has been raucous and unusual.

Prosecutors made straight-laced arguments in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, alleging that Shkreli ran a Ponzi-like scheme where he defrauded investors of two hedge funds he managed and siphoned millions from a pharmaceutical company he founded, Retrophin, to cover massive losses from those funds. For closing arguments, prosecutors had a stack of 33 binders on their table as they went through a PowerPoint presentation, The New York Times reports. The defense, on the other hand, brought props, wild tales, colorful questions, hints at office romance, and an unusual defense: that Shkreli—who’s allegedly brilliant, well-intentioned, but awkward—may have lied about some things but ultimately paid everyone back and more.

Shkreli, for his part, brought trash-talk and pointed facial expressions. . . .

. . . An hour after leaving court last Thursday, Shkreli took to Facebook to sum up his thoughts on the trial and his fate. Taking a Trumplike position, he wrote:

• “My case is a silly witch hunt perpetrated by self-serving prosecutors. Thankfully my amazing attorney sent them back to junior varsity where they belong. Drain the swamp. Drain the sewer that is the DOJ. MAGA"
