Political prediction betting has led to threats against a journalist demanding he retract an article, supposedly coming from a bettor who stood to lose millions of dollars because of that article.

The wrecker said he will refuse to sign any bills until Congress passes a bill to disenfranchise millions of American citizens. This seems to imply that he will veto every bill — but it does not in fact imply that.

The president can allow a law to pass by waiting ten days (not counting Sundays) without either signing or vetoing the bill. He hasn't said whether he will do that. He might go for the greatest possible sabotage by vetoing every bill passed — but he also might not.

Of course, he is not at all honest and doesn't hesitate to contradict whatever he said he would do, so maybe it makes no difference what he said.

The corrupter is following the usual fascist playbook for clamping down on the free press and converting it into a propaganda engine.
