A Final Word on “MAGA Communism” and Social Conservatism
Opportunism and foolishness have resulted in the latest example of U.S. decline, the concept of “MAGA Communism.” This absurdity is proof that a true socialist movement is badly needed.
A Final Word on “MAGA Communism” and Social Conservatism
Yes, it’s a thing! At least on Twitter and YouTube! Almost makes me want to open up a Twitter account just for laughs!
There’s so many other philanthrocapitalist organizations that need to be “destroyed” than just Open Society Foundations! Trump is also a war criminal for assassinating Qasem Soleimani, dropping the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan, eased restrictions on drone and air strikes, which resulted in more airstrikes than Obama, and so much more (no healthcare)!
Gross! He gives his sexual partners the same toothbrush!

Trump swindles the deplorables
As much as I’m enjoying the January 6th committee’s careful assembly of evidence proving former President Trump is a [douchebag]. I wasn’t seeing much in the way of a criminal offense until this week’s underreported story about how Trump used his “STOP THE STEAL” fundraising appeals to grift his supporters out of $250 million, none of which was, in fact, used to fight election fraud.

But there was also this, from the New York Times account, which bears closer scrutiny:
Investigators went further on Monday, detailing how the Trump campaign and its Republican allies used claims of a rigged election that they knew were false to mislead small donors and raise as much as $250 million for an entity they called the Official Election Defense Fund, which top campaign aides testified never existed.
“Not only was there the big lie,” said Representative Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat who played a key role in the hearing, “there was the big rip-off.”
Money ostensibly raised to “stop the steal” instead went to Mr. Trump and his allies, including, the investigation found, $1 million for a charitable foundation run by Mark Meadows, his chief of staff; $1 million to a political group run by several of his former staff members, including Stephen Miller, the architect of Mr. Trump’s immigration agenda; more than $200,000 to Trump hotels; and $5 million to Event Strategies Inc., which ran the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the Capitol riot.
Aides said Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Mr. Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., was paid $60,000 to speak at that event, a speech that lasted less than three minutes.
“It is clear that he intentionally misled his donors, asked them to donate to a fund that didn’t exist and used the money raised for something other than what he said,” Ms. Lofgren said of Mr. Trump.

DOJ Statement: Justice Department and FTC Announce Action to Stop Deceptive Marketing of Purported COVID-19 Treatments
I don’t understand why Congress even had to make it law, considering the following (I’m not saying that either help or not): 🤦🏼♀️
In 1994, the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act was passed which established the guidelines for dietary supplement labeling claims for the FDA. This act requires labeling claims to be “truthful, not misleading and substantiated.” Likewise, the FTC has its own legislation under the Enforcement Policy Statement on Food Advertising which applies to supplements as well as food. This act defers to the FDA’s ruling on what is considered to be truthful, not misleading and substantiated and defines a deceptive ad as “one that contains a misrepresentation or omission that is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonable under the circumstances to their detriment.”
Generally, a claim that is made on a dietary supplement must be backed by scientific evidence to be considered for inclusion on a label by the FDA. For FTC requirements, these same requirements must be met, however any claims that can be inferred from the advertising or anything that is implied by claims made must also be truthful and substantiated. It is important to be meticulous in label creation to ensure compliance with these laws. Unless you are well versed in FDA and FTC regulations, it is extremely important to consult with an label consultant to ensure that no label claims may be subject to disciplinary action by these federal agencies.
