This is what Putin has done in Russia. And fascists the world over have done.

The billionaires think they have equal power with Trump right now.
Or perhaps even more power than he does.

They will learn some lessons the hard way. I have been warning about this as well.

BTW You are the first person who agrees with my estimate of Putin's wealth.
I think he has been the richest man in the world for a long time now.

Not only has he stolen most of Russia's wealth, but he appears to be running
a lucrative sex/drug trade as well.

While the Russians outside Moscow do not have indoor plumbing.

I am curious FDRFTW, what do you think Trump will do in terms of Canada?
Do you think he will invade?
His goal right now seems to be to weaken Canada economically.
