Seriously, as others mentioned before, he's the guy that pulled this stunt:

(Long story short, he installed on the Oval Office a bring red button he plays with while negotiating just to intimidate his adversaries. If pressed the button sends a message to the buttlers to get him a coke. Yes he is that childish, and it is amazing.)
This is based as fuck.
If, being the key word now.
I hope Sidney's right. For her sake and Trump's.
I can see some merit in the Scott Adams notion that Powell and Giuliani don't need to get a court to overturn the election. They just need to convince Republicans that it was fraudulent and for those Republicans to put pressure on the state legislature members to vote that it was fraudulent.
I think the election was fraudulent but I'm not sure they can meet the very high bar the courts have to actually do anything. However, this seems like a really weird time, essentially unprecedented except for situations like 1877 when the rules were quite different so I don't know.
The only thing I am sure about is that no matter who gets in it the shit is going to hit the fan and that is honestly a shame because the only people who benefit are the CCP and their allies. If the DNC thinks this is the last election they need to rig before they amnesty illegals, add DC and Puerto Rico as states and pack the SCOTUS they're absolutely out of their minds. All they've succeeded in doing is plunging the country into some sort of meltdown.
But to honest I'm not all that keen on the option of having the Republican legislatures overturn the vote either. It may be the less bad option than letting the Democrats' coup succeed but it's still going to cause a chimp out of epic proportions from the left, the media, BLM, Antifa, etc.
For them, the week Biden got “Elected“ was Christmas, this last week was when they discovered Santa isn’t real and the coming week will be when they learn they’re the reason why mom and dad divorced.
I do think that 'shitty kids' is underestimated as a cause for divorce. If they'd been more lovable and good Mum and Dad would have stayed together.
Adolf and the German economy is ...complicated to say the least. Between autarky, mefo bills, deficit spending using the plundered items from the annexation of austria, munich conference etc to buoy the german economy but on the other hand you had what could be described as an economic miracle turning germany from the Weimar germany to what it was by '39. There is no simple clean answer though and you will find many people screaming from both sides of the fence with that.
Edit: @make_it_so is correct about Hjalmar Schacht. He really did set Germany on the path it needed.
The problem is that Nazi economics only made sense if they took over Europe. And they had no chance of doing that. It's kind of telling that Hjalmar Schacht essentially quit because he told them their spending plans would cause hyperinflation. Now if you're a Nazi with some knowledge of economics you could say 'All the conquered lands will have goods to balance the new money'. However, that only works if you win. There's also a problem with conquest in the modern era. Back in the feudal days if you took over land you became the lord and all the peasants paid you what they paid the lord you replaced. In the modern era, it's just not like that. Factory workers might decide to go slow or sabotage stuff. If they run out of resources like oil or molybdenum even loyal workers will produce less. The Nazis run out of both so their armor started to run out fuel and spare parts.
TIK did an interesting video on Hitler's view of economics and it was really weird. Much weirder than Marxism to be honest.
You should always support Pinochetian Minarchist economics which is basically good old fashioned freedom and capitalism apart from an initial burst of extrajudicial murder. National Socialism is still socialism. In fact, it's a particularly nasty variant of it. Socialism will typically ruin the country it is tried in - it's like a more extreme version of the shitty economy you get from Social Democracy. National Socialism will metastasize into all the country's neighbors and ruin them too.
