Guest Post from Taxicab Depressions
I like to think that I’m someone that takes politics seriously… what our politicians do has direct and indirect effects on myself and my family, so I pay attention. So many people in this country are utterly clueless about what our so-called “representatives” are doing on our behalf, and they blissfully vote for the same damned criminals, year after year, without even knowing what they are up to. Hillary Clinton’s campaign stands as a towering monument to the indifference, ignorance, and apathy of the American electorate. She should be in jail, and anyone NOT named Hillary Clinton would have been booked and fingerprinted months ago. But an alarming number people will still vote for her, because they are so stupid and uninformed that they believe that Hillary is looking out for them, and it is okay if their girl breaks the law, in the furtherance of the progressive agenda.
Normally, I wouldn’t even consider Trump’s candidacy a serious thing, but yet it is… and the establishment boneheads in the Republican Party and the liberal media hacks can’t understand how this is even happening. What the fuck is this? This shouldn’t be possible, like Evel Knievel or Mr. T or Hulk Hogan or The Most Interesting Man In The World™ guy jumping into the race, and pulling away from the pack by double digits immediately… how can this be? What the fuck is going on?
You know who is responsible for Trumpzilla? The brunt of the responsibility can be placed at the feet of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Obama rammed through ZeroCare on a procedural stunt, and America howled. The Republican establishment whined, “We can’t do anything unless you give us the House.”
A historic wave election put them into power in the House, and nothing happened. They whined, “We can’t do anything without the Senate.” Another electoral gullywasher handed them the Senate, and nothing happened.
These spineless, impotent limpdicks are precisely what has made Trumpmania possible. They will not stand up to Obama on ANYTHING, be it ObamaCare, Executive immigration reform, the EPA, the IRS targeting political opponents and everyday citizens, radical Islam, and all the sundry day-to-day crimes this administration commits on a typical Tuesday. This is what an American roar sounds like, ladies and gentlemen… the people that are paying attention are really pissed off, especially the taxpayers that pick up the check for this lawless government.
The status quo will not work much longer, because the people that are pissed off know that if it does continue for too long, the result will be violence and bloodshed not seen in this country in 150 years. What can not go on, will not go on.
And that is why every time Trumpzilla stomps on another building, his polling goes up. The media has pronounced his campaign dead seven or eight times, immediately followed by a three point bump in the polls. He can’t be bought, he can’t be told to shut up, he recognizes that the country that made his fortune possible is in serious trouble, and he doesn’t give a fuck if you are offended by his “tone”…
As I am typing this, the first debate is about to begin, and part of me hopes that The Donald comes out dressed like The Humongous from The Road Warrior, rasping into a hand-held microphone and waving a scoped revolver around… sorry, but I am loving this moment in American Political History. This shouldn’t be happening, but the establishment dipshits that The Pig Trap was written about simply refuse to listen to people that put them in power, and this is the result.
But they will be forced to listen, very soon… one way, or another.
[EDIT] At the time I posted this, the poll at Drudgereport.com has Trump the winner at 48%, with Ted Cruz second with 13%. Jeb comes in at 2%. Haven’t I been told by the liberal media for years that Jeb is the SMART Bush?
— “…and the establishment boneheads in the Republican Party and the liberal media hacks can’t understand how this is even happening.”
Fucking nonsense. They know exactly how it is happening and are playing their part.
— “…sorry, but I am loving this moment in American Political History.”
You mean American Political Theater.
Enjoy it for entertainment value… sure… but to treat it like it has anything to do with real decision making in the world is downright delusional.
Reading this is like reading a child describe their thoughts on how Santa Claus manages to visit every child on the planet.
I have zero compassion left for anyone talking about this process as if it is anything but a theatrical production. Grow up.
Let me clear this up for you taximan…what we have is a government captured by NSA “control files” and THAT’s the major reason positive things can’t get done on behalf of “the people”, because the neocons running the show have total control of anyone who gets elected, with very few exceptions.
Trump hasn’t been a political figure until now so he doesn’t know the game. Were he elected, his tune would change shortly after his abduction to “Site R” and his meeting with Darth Vader, er ah, Dick Cheney.

I’ll admit I didn’t even watch one minute of the debate, but I did look here at the live play by play comments provided by Hope@ZeroKelvin (excellent job) with other comments tossed in and enjoyed the read a lot more than I would have the debate.
However, I agree with Taxicab Depressions about Trumpzilla. As unbelievable as I find it that I am saying this, I think that a genuine win by Trump with zero control from the usual powermongers in the Beltway would shake things up enough (possibly more than that Perot bid I voted for long ago and far away) that there might be a “slight” chance of re-adjusting the implosion to a later date.
There’s no saving us, but at least it would be nice to know that “THEY” don’t always get their way. So, as I say, unbelievably, I’ll vote for Trump, simply because he isn’t THEM.
While not crazy about the man.The rest of them running.Remind me to much of Obama or Bush before him. Trumps non PC talking is appealing. His talking about the debt and what a threat it is,Is appealing.Otherwise we get the same old crap and kick the can stuff.
I would like to see if he would actually figure out how to fight our debt. Otherwise a road warrior kind of society may be in our future.
“So many people in this country are utterly clueless about what our so-called “representatives” are doing…”
Oh how true, how true. But, more importantly, they wouldn’t give a damn even if they knew. And just why is this? Very simple. These people are imbued with the something-for-nothing mentality. They’re addicted to their free-shit.
The hard fact is most adults today derive some or all of their income from government (that’s nothing new, even people in California know about it). As long as they keep feeding at the government pig-trough they could care less about what’s right or wrong, the truth can just take a flying leap. The mantra & attitude of these parasites is, “Just keep those freebies coming, thank you very much, and we don’t want to hear any talk about ending them.” And all the shouting, screaming & debating on our part won’t change one single mind. That’s why it’s so utterly pointless trying to educate these people. Facts, logic, reasoning, & the truth will have no effect.
So the next time you hear some poor naïve soul spouting, “it’s time we educate these people,” ask them politely to just sit down and shut-up, because the time has come to sit back, relax, and forget any notion about trying to enlighten those in the present majority. They don’t want to hear it.

Maggie…I could have written your same comment.
If we are going down anyway. Trump will be the most entertaining way. Vote Trump experience with bankruptcy is what we need now.
Taxicab clown is from NW Florida, a notorious black hole for intellectual thought. These are the type of people that think a politician can save them. Taxicab clown will just as soon support Jeb Bush, Marco Rube-io, or Fat Boy Christie as he will Donald Trump. In fact he will end up voting for anyone who can spout Reagan, 9/11, and bomb Iran in the same sentence. The only difference between him and all the other taxi drivers is that he whines about his lousy life on a blog. Never saw the appeal of that site.
Hello from “the black hole for intellectual thought”. I beg to differ with you on that charge because most of us think the same about most of the liberals in South “New Yak” Flaada so we are not as stupid as you assume. If you are one of the “carpetbagger” cockroaches, you may kiss this Rebel’s black (ass)hole (if I happen to be mistaken in your case and you misspoke, please forgive my uncharacteristic rudeness).
So proud of my little sister Maggie . Your loving big brother bb.

Most logical and sensical reason ever given to support him.
Not to repeat myself, but just sayin’……
Glad I not an American,
but sadly what your fools do is going to affect the whole world, when the wheels come off the USA ponzi scheme. I would have to agree with those that say this fall.
Trump is one of them. He one of the .001%. He is not on your side. He does not give a shit about you. Why should he? But he knows how to play people and get a reaction from them. He knows that he can get the support of two if he pisses off one.
And what’s the little “O” shape he makes with his mouth when he is driving home some point or another. His head would look good on a pike along with the rest of those Federalist scumbags.
Demon, I know Maggie better thn I know you, and yet if she’s voting for Trump it’s a sure sign of the apocalypse. Everybody knows Trump is a spoiler, don’t know why. I-S would call him an assclown.
I can appreciate him riding roughshod over the Repugnants AND the Demoncrats (no reflection on you) but his policies are sure to sink the USA deeper into the outhouse goo.
1. Build a wall won’t be as easy as build a bear
2. Tariffs won’t go over well with our Chinky masters
3. Deporting 11 million folks, assuming we can find them, will cost $3.92 gazzillion
4. We already have 98 million unemployed Americans, the Donald intends to fire even more
El Coyote,
You know me a little. I’m bruce, now The Demon of Doom. Stucky called me that when I stressed him out over Chocolate on another thread. Tomorrow maybe I’ll just be bruce again or maybe not. I kind of like the Demon of Doom thing.
When Stuck christens you with a new name, you’ve arrived on TBP.
I stated out as plain vanilla chen, then I got the idea to use Mexican banda names and was in the process of transitioning from el coyote but for some reason, people liked that moniker so I went back to it. I don’t know why monikers take on their own character, they aren’t you but you give them a voice and folks respond. In real life I’m much different from the snappy, snippy, snide and sometimes snooty EC.
I said,…there might be a “slight” chance of re-adjusting the implosion to a later date.
I’m hunkered down for whatever is on its way here in the hills. Lots more progress made on the home and land this week. Since I seem to be a magnet for assclowns and losers here, I’ve decided working with my husband makes more sense than entertaining fools.
When the log home was built, there were half logs in the junk pile that I dragged out to salvage, so my Yoder builders started saving all of the scraps for me. We needed to add on to the retaining wall to get ready for the final landscaping. Nick got his masonry tools out and I hauled half logs. I sent Omer a picture and he said Nick does great work stacking logs… does he want a job?

The neighbor came, moved our field, gathered himself 54 round bales of fescue and clover, leaving me more than enough to rake up and haul to the treehouse for the spring, when we get our goats. Waste not and all that.

As far as the Trump issue or any of the idiots who have nothing better to do than hurl snide comments at my opinion?

Well, anticipation is good for you, they say…[img

Did my comment just get deleted?
Never mind… that jackass was a long time showing up.
I like the whole idea of Trump and that’s what makes me nervous. When a guy like me is getting hopeful, and a guy like my “Mr. No Commitment” brother is enthusiastically shouting praise for a candidate, that is significant to me.
But I am a doubting Thomas at heart. I think that if Trump goes for a third candidate slot, the game is rigged. I remember Ross Perot going third candidate in 1992. He derailed George H., or at least hurt him some and we got Billy-Boy. Now, probably ol’ Billy would have been elected anyhow, but it seemed that Perot came out of nowhere, said what we wanted to hear, took away votes from Bush and then disappeared.
Here’s a snippet from Wiki on Perot:
“The public’s concern about the federal budget deficit and fears of professional politicians allowed the independent candidacy of billionaire Texan Ross Perot to explode on the scene in dramatic fashion—at one point Perot was leading the major party candidates in the polls. Perot crusaded against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), internal and external national debt, tapping into voters’ potential fear of the deficit. His volunteers succeeded in collecting enough signatures to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states. In June, Perot led the national public opinion polls with support from 39% of the voters (versus 31% for Bush and 25% for Clinton). Perot severely damaged his credibility by dropping out of the presidential contest in July and remaining out of the race for several weeks before re-entering. He compounded this damage by eventually claiming, without evidence, that his withdrawal was due to Republican operatives attempting to disrupt his daughter’s wedding.”
Does the first part sound familiar? Scary, ain’t it. Then he dropped out to ensure he wouldn’t have a prayer to win. He just made up any bullshit excuse to explain it. After all, what did he care, he’s a billionaire, right?
Mission accomplished.
I hope you aren’t right Lysander. It does have an echo.
We like you Maggie, you have thin skin but we like you. bb calls you little sister, how is that being mean? If we were saying things to you such as blow me or fuck off, then you can assume we don’t like you but joking around with your moniker is, well, just guy banter called bonding.
Some women can handle it and gain the respect of assclowns and others go away weeping. I already said, Don’t go, Maggie.
I will not beg, I’m through begging women to stay, the women who love you will stay, the assclown women who only wanted attention will go. It’s your call.
You do not know what you think you do asswipe.
You do not know what you think you do, asswipe. If I had thin skin I’d have been long gone. You are a moron.
Such cruelty. I will not bother with you anymore regardless of your ‘asswipe’ and ‘assclown’ provocations. You are dead to me.
