The company’s only way out of its current mess is to continue passing the buck onto ratepayers and taxpayers …

If you look at the true historical definition of fascism – the kind espoused by Mussolini and his intellectual bromance partner Franklin D. Roosevelt [historical fact – look it up] – you will find that “crony capitalism” is essentially the fascist party plank for the tethering and controlled coordination of major industry, banking, and labor to the goals of the State via a garden variety menu of public funded subsidies. We need to go back to calling it by its original name…the Normies don’t get the real implications of these types of policies by merely calling it “crony capitalism.”
Trump is as close to Hitler as this country has ever seen. He recently praised Putin, XI and Kim Jung Un, saying; and I quote him, “They know how to run a society, and they see in Trump a strong leader in the same mold.” There is only one Fascist running for President and that is Donald Trump.
Not waving Trump’s flag here, but you have full-blown TDS. Trump close to Hitler? The guy who has a Jewish son-in-law, a converted Jewish daughter, and Jewish grandkids? That’s just for starters – his close ties to the Jewish community go back decades. He moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and facilitated the Abraham Accords to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel for God’s sake. You think Hitler would do any of that? Granted, I do think his praises of Putin and Jung are bizarre, but practically every president for the last 40 years has made some sort of similar statement about one dictator or another – Obama, Bush, Clinton and the first Bush all have their own version of this.
Did you not hear Trump’s latest speech where he vowed to “root out” his political opponents, who he said “live like vermin” as he warned supporters that America’s greatest threats come “from within”? The call is coming from inside the Trump campaign and it’s clear he’ll jail any and all of his political opponents if he happens to win the election this time around. He’s using dogwhistles to the White Nationalists in this country as well. As stupid as he is, he’s also exceedingly dangerous. This is not the America that our US Constitution lays out but a Putin-lite that Trump wants to become.
Meanwhile, I’ve got relatives in the Midlands who are getting power bills from Duke that have doubled and tripled in the last month, with Duke citing usage during “peak hours”. WTH? Will power become a utility that is unaffordable to the average SC resident? God knows the City/County Governments across the state have already realized they could triple the water bill to pad their take and now Duke is following with electricity bills. Not everyone in this state moved here from California or Florida or yes, Ohio, and has the money to pay those high prices. And the SC lawmakers have given Duke carte blanche to charge whatever they want.
Did Trump really refer to himself in the third person?
I believe that was a reference to his ego.
