This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

May I correct the “record” ;
Bezos paid #$M55 to make the Filum …and …..$M20 to Melania to “appear” in it
Can anyone tell me of another “Filum” that has paid 1 “actor” circa 40% of Production costs on top of those costs ????

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Well , I suppose it’s better than “bad faith talks”
Ho hum ….season 3 of “Clowns to the left of me ‘n Jocks to the right” garners marginally more enthusiasm than “Melania -The Filum”
Seeing this, ad nauseam , is a strong argument as to why some parents should not have been allowed to have kids

I’m not suggesting that figure is inflated, I’m saying it outright! That figure is inflated!
“Melania” beat projections, but still finished behind two other big theatrical premiers this weekend.
