Takaichi’s campaign is selling “Japan is Back” caps like the one she gave Trump for ¥13,200, and skirting finance disclosure laws by selling them through a private company, making its finances a “black box.”

    1. Remember about 1 year ago we would (correctly) point out that Takaichi was acting like an any alt-right grifter anywhere in the world and some self-proclaimed experts in Japanese politics would say “don’t judge our politics by your American standards you American”?

      Yup.

    2. Her party keeps stealing from the Trump playbook without understanding that he is the most hated man in his own country and will likely be prosocuted into bankruptcy along with all of his coconspiritors the moment he is out of office.

      Officials, this is not the man you want emulate.

      Well how about that? The people *actually* stealing from the country is the politicians.

      When will people learn that 100% of right-wingers are grifters, frauds, and thieves?

      Back? Back to their WW2 era? I don’t think anyone wants Japan to “Back”

      132 maple bucks for a hat? Jesus i knew Japan did things to the extreme compared to the west, but even the right wing grifter politicians?

      I was pretty confident she would at least make it to mid terms, but now I won’t be shocked by a September resignation at this point.
