Having listened to PBS everyday. You would think Obamma is an economic wizard . Rising stock market and 5% unemployment and all.

How do they explain Trump? Americans are racists , homophobes and mysoginists , that how.

I can’t wait for worse economic news to kick in. Although 0 GDP growth did not register yet.

We do need to crash and burn so people can see the light of how they have been manipulated and lied to.

NPR…
oh yes, once upon a time I listened to select programs on the weekend,
pretty good. Now? Listening is out of the question. Ones feels as tho
corn syrup is being poured over one’s head. The BS is like a fog…in the
dark. O can do no wrong, and everything is just so lovely. Liberalism
squared.

I’m with you. I’m losing hope the 4th Turning will ever come. Looks like TPTB can possibly manipulate the FSA and the stock market, and the FED, and the deficit, for a long, long, time.

For me, fatigue has set in: Tranny fatigue, nigger fatigue, FSA fatigue, illegal immigration fatigue, campaign fatigue, endless war fatigue, BLS fatigue, ACA fatigue, and lastly anus fatigue from getting reamed up the ass as a tax payer!

George Carlin was right. When fatigue sets in, that’s the perfect time to start looking at it all as pure entertainment.

I’ve adopted that attitude for about the last year now and it really helps. Staying informed yet disconnected allows the absurdity of it all to shine through. It’s why I say that the tRumpeteers appear no different at all to the Obamateers when he was up for election.

Entertainment people…….that’s it is.

There is a HUGE difference. Too bad you can’t distinguish it.

Rise Up, I was thinking in terms of the ways sheople on both sides blindly think that tRump is going to be their savior and sincerely solve their problems. A minority of tRumpeteers like those here, are under no illusion that tRump will bring any real change and look forward to tRump being a giant middle finger to TPTB but the majority of the mouth breathers supporting tRump are deluded like the majority of mouth breathers that voted for Obama. None of the mouth breathers can articulate how or why tRump is the right guy for the job. Hell, tRump himself hardly articulates it.

If their models tell them transferring money to the non productive, putting people to work producing things no one wants, keeping interest rates low, and consuming capital to keep the consumption train going is the way to go, in spite of the obvious, they will push it to destruction and then wonder why we are impoverished.

I.S., it may be that Trump has figured out the current system.

Suppose someone with half a brain cell decides (foolishly) to run for public office. Suppose further that person cannot be bought, cannot be intimidated and will not withdraw when threatened. What to do?

Rely on the dumbification of the public, many of whom will believe anything told them by the media, a person in authority already or their favorite special interest group. Take any statement by the candidate, twist it out of recognition, call names, imply corruption without proof, assassinate character and bring pointless trivia to distract from current corruption, system failure and overgrowth. Then blame the candidate for the failings of the current system (projection), anything you can think of. Drive the narrative against the candidate at every opportunity, hopefully until they lose the election.

Trump has figured out not to provide specifics on anything, so they cannot twist them to suit defamation. He has decided not to provide ammunition to the enemy to be used against him.

Trump is NOT Hillary the Corrupt, Cruz the Holier-than-thou, Kasich the Nonentity or any of the others who have fallen by the wayside Rand Paul might have been better for a few reasons; maybe another one, pick your favorite. But Trump is still running on his feet, and no one else is even close to being sane or popular enough to win. THAT’S why we support Trump, as the (possibly) only non-bought person running. And after eight years of Obama the Incompetent Enigmatic Liar, Trump would have to be an improvement.

We are not blind; Trump could be playing us all. But Hillary is hopelessly evil, Cruz makes my skin crawl, Kasich should be selling shoes somewhere and Bernie is an idologue. Who are you supporting? And why?

Even were Trump the victim of narcissistic personality disorder (as many online “diagnosticians” have claimed, though neither the DSM-IV nor ICD-9 criteria seem even close to being manifest, in my clinical opinion), it’s interesting to speculate about how he could be worse than Stanley Ann Dunham’s little bastard, the Indonesian pretending to be a legitimate President of these United States.

I share your opinion of Rand Paul, but in truth he hadn’t the proverbial nitrocellulose dog’s chance in hell of achieving nomination, much less election. Dr. Paul is a surgeon, but bringing a knife to a gunfight is strategically inappropriate approach. As for Senator Cruz… Well, despite Obozo’s feculent example, Cruz isn’t a natural born citizen within the meaning of Article II, Section 1, either.

Repeating a crime couldn’t make the original crime any less felonious.

No, I’m comfortable with The Donald both as candidate and as chief magistrate, and I’m even optimistic about his chances as regards getting the federal government’s thumbs off the throats of the American people.

I’m supporting Sweet Meteor of Death 2016 because even the lowly bacteria on this rock deserve better than what we humans bring to the table.

I no longer vote for any federal or state offices and only vote for county and city politicians if they have a good reputation. Mostly I vote against bond measures of all types including school, police, fire and administrative bonds. I also oppose all tax renewals, extensions and increases. Apart from that I derive as much entertainment value as I can from it all. 🙂
