Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The US Democratic Party is determined to take the world to thermo-nuclear war rather than to admit that Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election fair and square. The Democratic Party was totally corrupted by the Clinton Regime, and now it is totally insane. Leaders of the Democratic Party, such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, my former co-author in the New York Times, have responded in a non-Democratic way to the first step President Trump has taken to reduce the extremely dangerous tensions with Russia that the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes created between the two superpowers.
Yes, Russia is a superpower. Russian weapons are so superior to the junk produced by the waste-filled US military/security complex that lives high off the hog on the insouciant American taxpayer that it is questionable if the US is even a second class military power. If the insane neoconservatives, such as Max Boot, William Kristol, and the rest of the neocon scum get their way, the US, the UK, and Europe will be a radioactive ruin for thousands of years.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (CA), Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives, declared that out of fear of some undefined retribution from Putin, a dossier on Trump perhaps, the President of the United States sold out the American people to Russia because he wants to make peace: “It begs the question, what does Vladimir Putin, what do the Russians have on Donald Trump—personally, politically and financially that he should behave in such a manner?” The “such a manner” Pelosi is speaking about is making peace instead of war.
To be clear, the Democratic Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives has accused Donald Trump of high treason against the United States. There is no outcry against this blatantly false accusation, totally devoid of evidence. The presstitute media instead of protesting this attempt at a coup against the President of the United States, trumpet the accusation as self-evident truth. Trump is a traitor because he wants peace with Russia.
Here is Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer (NY) repeating Pelosi’s false accusation: “Millions of Americans will continue to wonder if the only possible explanation for this dangerous behavior is the possibility that President Putin holds damaging information over President Trump.” If you don’t believe that this is orchestrated between Pelosi and Schumer, you are stupid beyond belief.
Here is disgraced Obama CIA director John Brennan, a leader of the fake Russiagate campaign against President Trump in order to prevent Trump from making peace with Russia and, thus, by making the world safer, threatening the massive, unjustified budget of the military/security complex: “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”

NOTICE THAT NOT ONE WESTERN MEDIA SOURCE IS CELEBRATING AND THANKING TRUMP AND PUTIN FOR EASING THE ARTIFICAILLY CREATED TENSIONS THAT WERE LEADING TO NUCLEAR WAR. HOW CAN THIS BE? HOW CAN IT BE THAT THE WESTERN MEDIA IS SO OPPOSED TO PEACE? WHAT IS THE EXPLANATION?
The Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the North Koreans, as well as the rest of the world, desperately need to notice the extremely hostile reaction to peace on the part of the US Democratic Party, many members of the Republican Party, including the despicable US Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and the Western Presstitute Media, a collection of people on the CIA payroll according to the German newspaper editor, Udo Ulfkotte, and the CIA itself.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the rest of the corrupt filth that rules over us are all in the pay of the military/security complex. Just go and investigate the donations to their re-election campaigns. The 1,000 billion dollar budget of the military/security complex, amplified by the CIA’s front corporations and narcotics business, provides enormous sums with which to purchase the senators and representatives that the insouciant American voters think that they elect.
Do you know how large 1,000 billion is? You would have to live for thousands of years and do nothing for 24/7 except count to reach that figure. It is a sum that nurtures the recipients, and the recipients regard it as worth protecting.
Therefore, the American public gets not representation, but lies that justify war and conflict. The military/security complex, about which President Eisenhower warned the American people to no effect, is in desperate need of an enemy. In obedience to the military/security complex, the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes have made Russia that enemy. If Trump and Putin do not understand this, they will easily be made irrelevant.
They both can be assassinated, and that is what the statements from Pelosi, Schumer, McCain, Lindsey Graham, et. al., repeated endlessly in the propaganda ministry that is the Western press, encourages. Trump can be assassinated or overthrown in a political coup for selling out America to Russia, as members of both political parties claim and as the media trumpets endlessly. Putin can be easily assassinated by the CIA operatives that the Russian government stupidly permits to operate throughout Russia in NGOs and Western/US owned media and among the Atlanticist Integrationists, Washington’s Firth Column inside Russia serving Washington’s purposes. These Russian traitors serve in Putin’s own government!
Americans are so unaware that they have no idea of the risk that President Trump is taking by challenging the US military security complex. For example, during the last half of the 1970s I was a member of the US Senate staff. I was working together with a staffer of the US Republican Senator from California, S. I. Hayakawa, to advance understanding of a supply-side economic policy cure to the stagflation that threatened the US budget’s ability to meet its obligations. Republican Senators Hatch, Roth, and Hayakawa were trying to introduce a supply-side economic policy as a cure for the stagflation that was threatening the US economy with failure. The Democrats, who later in the Senate led the way to a supply-side policy, were, at this time, opposed (see Paul Craig Roberts, The Supply-Side Revolution, Harvard University Press, 1984). The Democrats claimed that the policy would worsen the budget deficit, the only time in those days Democrats cared about the budget deficit. The Democrats said that they would support the tax rate reductions if the Republicans would support offsetting cuts in the budget to support a balanced budget. This was a ploy to put Republicans on the spot for taking away some groups’ handouts in order “to cut tax rates for the rich.”
The supply-side policy did not require budget cuts, but in order to demonstrate the Democrats lack of sincerety, Hayakawa’s aid and I had our senators introduce a series of budget cuts together with tax cuts that, on a static revenue basis (not counting tax revenue feedbacks from the incentives of the lower tax rates) kept the budget even, and the Democrats voted against them every time.
When the combination of tax cuts with defense budget cuts came up for a vote, the legendary senator Strom Thurmond, a 48-year member of the US Senate from South Carolina, tapped me on the shoulder. He said: “son, never set your senator up against the military/security complex. He will not be re-elected, and you will be out of a job.” I replied that we were just establishing for the record that under no conditions would the Democrats, who wanted more government, vote for a tax rate reduction even if there was a case that it would cure stagflation. He replied: “son, the military/security complex doesn’t care.”
My emergence from The Matrix began with Thurmond’s pat on my shoulder. It grew with my time at the Wall Street Journal when I learned that some truthful things simply could not be said. In the Treasury I experienced how those outside interests opposed to a president’s policy marshall their forces and the media that they own to block it. Later as a member of a secret presidential committee, I saw how the CIA attempted to prevent President Reagan from ending the Cold War.
Today, right now, at this moment, we are faced with a massive effort of the military/security complex, the neoconservatives, the Democratic Party, and the presstitute media to discredit the elected President of the United States and to overthrow him in order that the utterly corrupt elite that rule American can continue to hold on to power and to protect the massive budget of the military/security complex that, along with the Israel Lobby, funds the elections of those who rule us. Trump, like Reagan, was an exception, and it is the exceptions that accumulate the ire of the corrupt leftwing, bought off with money, and the ire of the media, concentrated into small tight ownership groups indebted to those who permitted the illegal concentration of a once independent and diverse American media that once served, on occasion, as a watchdog over government. The rightwing, wrapped in the flag, dismisses all truth as “anti-American.”
If Putin, Lavrov, the Russian government, the traitorous Russian Fifth Column—the Atlanticist Integrationists—the Chinese, the Iranians, the North Koreans think that any peace or consideration can come out of America, they are insane. Their delusions are setting themselves up for destruction. There is no institution in America, government or private, that can be trusted. Any government or person who trusts America or any Western country is stupid beyond belief.
The entire Russiagate hoax is an orchestration by the military/security complex, led by John Brennen, Comey, and Rosenstein. The purpose is to discredit President trump for two reasons. One is to prevent any normalization of relations with Russia. The other is to remove Trump’s agenda as an alternative to the agenda of the Democratic Party.
President Trump is almost powerless. Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the North Koreans should recognize this before it is too late for them. President Trump cannot fire and arrest for high treason Mueller and Rosenstein. And Trump cannot indict Hillary for her numerous unquestionable crimes in plain view of everyone, or Comey or Brennan, who declares Trump “to be wholly in the pocket of Putin,” for trying to overthrow the elected president of the United States. Trump cannot have the Secret Service question the likes of Pelosi and Schumer and McCain and Lindsey Graham for false accusations that encourage assassination of the President of the United States.
Trump cannot even trust the Secret Service, which accumulated evidence suggests was complicit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
If Putin and Lavrov, so anxious to be friends of Washington, let their guards down, they are history.
As I said above, Russiagate is an orchestratration to prevent peace between the US and Russia. Leading military/security complex experts, including the person who provided the CIA’s daily briefing of the President of the United States for many years, and the person who devised the spy program for the National Security Agency, have proven conclusively that Russiagate is a hoax designed for the purpose of preventing President Trump from normalizing relations between the US and Russia, which has the power to destroy the entirety of the Western World at will.
Here is the report from the retired security professionals who, unlike those still in office, cannot be fired and deprived of a careet for telling the truth: https://original.antiwar.com/mcgovern/2018/07/15/memo-to-the-president-ahead-of-mondays-summit/
Here is what the clued-in Russian Defense Minister Shoigu has to say about the aggressive actions of the West against the Russian homeland: https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/07/13/defense-minister-shoigu-on-moscow-vision-security-problems.html
If Putin doesn’t listen to him, Russia is in the trash can of history.
Keep in mind that no media informs you better than my website. If my website goes down, you will be left in darkness. No valid information comes from the US government or the Western presstitutes. If you sit in front of the TV screen watching the Western media, you are brainwashed beyond all hope. Not even I can rescue you. Nor God himself.
Americans, and indeed the Russians themselves, are incapable of realizing it, but there is a chance that Trump will be overthrown and a Western assault will be launched against the handful of countries that insist on sovereignty.
I doubt that few of the Americans who elected Trump will be taken in by the anti-Trump propagana, but they are not organized and have no armed power. The police, militarized by George W. Bush and Obama, will be set against them. The rebellions will be local and suppressed by every violation of the US Constitution by the private powers that rule Washington, as always has been the case with rebellions in America.
In the West, which the Russians are so anxious to join, all freedoms are dead—freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of inquiry, freedom of privacy, freedom from arbitrary search, freedom from arbitrary arrest, along with the Constitutional protections of due process and habeas corpus. Today there are no countries less free than the United States of America.
Why do the Russian Atlanticist Integrationists want to join an unfree Western world? Are they that brainwashed by Western Propaganda?
If Putin listens to these deluded fools, Putin will destroy Russia.
There is something wrong with Russian perception of Washington. Apparently the Russian elite, with the exception of Shoigu and a few others are incapable of comprehending the neoconservative drive for US world hegemony and the neoconservative determination to destroy Russia as a constraint on US unilateralism. The Russian government somehow, despite all evidence to the contrary, believes that Washington’s hegemony is negotiable.
I don’t think Putin will destroy Russia. Get a grip, please.
That is a compelling argument. What’s the answer, Demorats and Rhinos?
Treason? Get A Life!
Authored by Raul Ilargi Meijer via The Automatic Earth blog,
Yeah, just keep ’em coming, right, so that when the last one falls flat on its face people will have already forgotten about it and instead focus on the new one. It’s been the modus operandi of the US MSM ever since Donald Trump emerged as an actual presidential candidate, and they haven’t let go.
They realize by now that it divides the nation, it costs them a large chunk of their potential readers and viewers, and creates chaos all around, but the bottom line is it makes them money. Because those people who fall into the echo chamber trap, tumble into it fast and furious, and will gladly pay to read yet another installment of how bad the man really is.
But it is getting out of hand, guys and gals, it is becoming a real and present danger to the -formerly- United States. The anti-Russia propaganda machine far predates Trump, but manufacturing an ever closer link between the two has proven to be a masterstroke of media genius.
That Vladimir Putin is an existential threat to the US and indeed the entire western world is a narrative taken straight out of Edward Bernays’ playbook. And it works like a charm. The problem is, it is also the biggest threat to peace anywhere on the globe that we have ever seen since WWII.
Putin is a patriot who came to the fore in mostly unexplained ways, named by American puppet Boris Yeltsin as his successor, only to save his country from US-induced plundering and restore Russia as a functioning country. Far from perfect, but functioning. Don’t forget that Russian life-expectancy fell by many years in the post-Gorbachev era. And then look now.
Yes, Putin uses some hard-handed tactics from time to time. He has no choice: the US threat to Russia is an ongoing one. There’s still a huge economic threat, of which US sanctions are but a minor part, there’s an intelligence threat, there’s NATO encroaching upon Russia’s borders.
Thus far, Putin has been able to counter them all. And his popularity among Russia’s population is far higher than that of any western politician. His people understand and recognize what he’s done and why he’s done it. He refuses for his country to be overrun and sold off to the highest bidders.
Just a few of the points of contention:
Crimea – The US tried to take away Russia’s only warm water port. Putin countered with what through non-western eyes was tactical masterpiece; no violence, no shots fired, an election that saw an overwhelming majority of Crimeans voted to (re-)join Russia.
Connected to Crimea is Ukraine. Putin had -and has- to protect Russian-speaking people in the region. Who were going to be under threat from the very dubious, neo-nazi linked government installed by the US after the coup. All Putin has been able to achieve so far is a very brittle stand still. But ‘his’ people in Eastern Ukraine have strong links to the Russian area just across the border. He’s not going to sell them out.
Connected to Ukraine is MH17. The Netherlands commemorates the victims of the shooting down again today. Several years of investigating have come up with no conclusive proof, even if they say it has. The problem is that the investigation was -is- led by The Netherlands itself. You don’t let the biggest victim conduct an investigation. What’s worse: the Ukraine was actively involved in the investigation, even when it was a potential culprit. Try to write that scenario into the plot of one of your favorite TV crime series. Won’t fly.
Then the novichok ‘events’ in the UK. Again, no evidence, but tons of allegations. And if Russia says it’s not guilty, everyone says and writes: of course they would say that. They get accused anyway. Still, no evidence is no evidence. the time that intelligence agencies were believed on their word is over. And they did it to themselves.
In the regard, it’s useful to see that Robert Mueller was one of the people who ‘swore’ that the Weapons of Mass Destruction ‘evidence’ against Saddam Hussein was real. We now know it was complete and utter fiction. Intelligence has overplayed its hand, and they won’t get it back for a long time.
People now realize they cannot be trusted. Well, not those who read and view the MSM, but then that’s sort of the entire point, isn’t it? That’s where the dividing line is being drawn. The CIA, FBI et al present a view of the world in concoction with the media that they think a sufficient number of people will swallow, and that’s really all they care for.
And boy, it is successful. The vitriol spewed over the Helsinki summit is something to behold. #TreasonSummit was a trending hashtag. For a meeting that was long overdue and aimed at calming down tensions. The by now very poorly named ‘social’ media play an ever bigger role in these things.
People can say whatever they want on them, without feeling they’ll ever actually be tested on their claims. One after the other, and each one trying to outdo the last. It all leads up to one particular worldview at the exclusion of all others. And again, that is very dangerous.
Mueller’s indictment of 12 Russians, which just happened to coincide with the first meeting of American and Russian presidents in an exceptionally long time, has been shot full of holes by many commentators, see for instance Adam Carter and Aaron Mate, but those views won’t make it to CNN or the NYT.
But despite the fact that the indictment is hollow and riddled with holes, it’s been a large part of why people call Trump a traitor for meeting with Putin. It ties together their opinions, carefully built along Bernays principles over the past two years. It’s a Matrix, it’s a trap. But then they throw in another story, of a 29 year-old Russian(!) girl arrested for allegedly setting up links between Russia and the NRA when she was 24 or so, and that replaces the Mueller indictment in most attention spans. And so the carrousel goes on. The torture never stops.
See, the idea is that you get yourself informed and then form your own opinion. Not that you let others pre-cook and pre-chew your opinions for you. Still, once you’re inside the deafening echo chamber, that’s what inevitably happens. Because there’s so much one-sided innuendo in there, your head aches and you just give up all resistance. Just to have a quiet moment.
And so very many Americans end up believing that indeed their president is guilty of treason. Because so many pundits claim that he is. But how many of them understand what treason really is, how serious an allegation it is? Is doesn’t really matter anymore, does it? Because all those others say he is, and they can’t all be wrong. And the echo chamber gives you a headache.
This is where I should say that somebody better do something about this, but it’s hard to see what. The divide has grown into a chasm. And that both sides are equally to blame for that doesn’t excuse either side’s wilful blindness. But yes, I hear you, it makes them money.
Still, if a US president can no longer talk to another president without being accused of treason, you’re in a scary predicament.
At some point you’re going to need real proof. And Bob Mueller is not going to get it for you. That’s what his indictment of the 12 Russians, as well as the moment he released it, makes abundantly clear. Mueller is -forever- going to hide behind the ‘Trust me, I’m the FBI’ line. Well, he betrayed you before. Wisen up. Demand evidence.
We know Mueller betrayed America when he made false claims over WMD. We have no evidence that Trump betrayed his country, we have only allegations. He may be a poor choice for president, but that’s not the same thing.
Here’s your traitor. Period. End of story.

Oh, wait. Not quite the end. THIS is the whorecunt POS the MSM wanted and still wants as POTUS.
I love this guy!
He used the word “insouciant” TWICE!! Take that, Howard Kunstler!
“Do you know how large 1,000 billion is?”
Here is an analogy I recently read; —– build a 20 foot high wall around a football field. Fill it with white sand. Go find a single grain of red sand and mix it with the white sand. Put a blindfold on and find that one grain of red sand. You get one chance. Your chance is 1 in 1 trillion.
Herr Stuckmeier: Here is another way of thinking about the magnitude of 1 Trillion, based solely on the physical characteristics of a typical common object, a new US Federal Reserve banknote, specifically the notes’ thickness. Measured with my Starrett brand micrometer, a new $100 note is .004 (4 thousandths of an inch). One inch of notes would contain 250 bills, totaling to $25,000. By dividing 25,000 into 1 million (1,000,000) , I get a quotient of 40, so a pile of new $100 bills 40 inches tall would equal$1 ,000,000.00, a stack about up to the beltbuckle of a six foot tall man. Forty inches equals 3.33 feet which,when multiplied by 1,000 gives 3,333 feet, which would be the height of a pile of $100.00 bills equal to one Billion dollars (1 billion = 1,000 million) . Now here’s where it gets really interesting–or totally insane — depending on your viewpoint: if we divide 3,333 feet by 5,280 (the number of feet in 1 mile) we get figure of around .68 multiplied by 1,000 (because 1,000 billions equals 1 Trillion) and we find that our stack of $100.00 bills equalling 1 Trillion dollars is 680 MILES tall! And just to put the final touch, imagine that the bills are singles, and that the stack, now 100 times taller, is laid on its’ side, the bills pressed together resting on their long sides, for 68,000 miles, or more than two and one-half times around the earth at the Equator. To update Senator Dirkson of Illinois: “These old boys in Washington talk a trillion here and a trillion there…pretty soon they’re talking real money!” (Unfortunately not really Real, but somebody’s going to have the job of figuring out how to pay off the 20Trillion in current debt, not including the 220Trillion currently unfunded). I just thought you might find this interesting. Blessings to you all!
It’s depressing to read PCR articles nowadays because, although he is no doubt correct in the main, he seems to leave no room for optimism. Essentially his message, couched in sensationalist terms, is the USA is dead and they’re taking everyone down with them, so the whole world is fucked; nothing can be done about it. Stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. Surely there remain some good people who have the power to change things for the better. We all have to hope Trump is one of them.
What’s going on today is the death rattle of the US as a “superpower” that’s all. My entire life I’ve been witness to this pathetic superman complex. We’re savin’ the world and securin’ the homeland! Yeee haw! A fat, diabetic, opiate addicted, bankrupt superman in white tube socks.
The Controlled Media is ALSO trying to incite the Blacks to hate Whites and Police; trying to incite the young radicals to hate our History & Traditions, hate Boomers, Capitalism, Corporations, Christians, Republicans and the POTUS, etc. It’s not about grabbing ass, talking to Russians, Trump family businesses, or Fuhrer Trump etc; it’s an all out raging NWO Deep State Propaganda Cold War against Free Americans.
And I think most of the underhanded Treason originates in Belgium and Israel; China is a real but common crook in comparison and Russia could and should become more ally than foe.
Putin isn’t going western, and Trump will not allow the neocons to blow up the world, as those Trotskyites no doubt want…
I often agree with PCR, but he’s a bit too pro-Russian and anti-American for my taste. His gratuitous comment the US military is 2nd world, for instance, is ludicrous. Yes, the Russians are a 1st world power with a 1st world military. No objections. And their leadership is brilliant. They are well-organized and very creative in some of their operations. Their public relations propaganda is terrific. I loved the “Friendly Green Men” campaign when they did Crimea.
But PCR’s prejudice shows through with his unsubstantiated comments about the US military. He’s a life-long apparatchik and mass media member, so I don’t know what he knows. He’s made a lot of resentful, anti-American comments in the past, which are a big turn-off for me. Source it, fact it, and I’ll believe it, but snide comments aren’t going to cut it with me. Just my pet peeve with PCR.
In this article, PCR is correct-this is an absurd and desperate attempt to destroy Trump because he’s slaughtering the Deep State’s sacred cows. I enjoy watching this show. I hope we get 8 years of Trump so the show can go on.
As I wrote elsewhere earlier, I think Trump should demand the files on all his enemies from the FBI, just like FDR and Klinton did before him. Get the other shit the NSA has sucked up, too. Then, he should release all that info right to the public. Leak it all. Schumer and Pelosi, Graham and Bush, Obama and Ryan, Bitchy Ol’ Sourpuss Ammanpour, Anderson Cooper, Fatass Moore, Alec Asshole Baldwin, Soros, etc and everyone who has stepped in front of a microphone, camera, or sat behind a keyboard to attack him. And release it everywhere, online, in print, on TV, in the Enquirer, BBC, Chinese state news, etc. Release a giant, fetid, stinking mass of puss-stained schmegma from all their secret files for the US people to see and pick through. Wreck CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. Turn the tables on the collusion charges by showing how they’re bought-and-paid-for by Israel, Saudi, Iran, China, etc. Show their Communist party membership. Show their dirty crimes. Let it allllllll out in the sunlight where it can be aired out and exposed. Even if he loses whatever damaging shit he might have held over them, the humiliation and embarrassment of being revealed to the public for the monsters they are would be worth it. Revealing the media to the public would help invalidate their rotten coverage of him, too.
It would be the nuclear option, but Trump seems like the kind of guy who would use it. Anyone remember Frank’s advice from House of Cards? “If you don’t like how the table is set, knock over the table.”
I hope Trump finally gets tired of pussyfooting around with the establishment in this country and just puts all their trash out on the street for everyone to see. Puts out the secret tapes of the meetings, the secret files of their crimes, and the threats and demands they make of him. Just puts it out.
He would go down in history as the greatest American Leader since GW.
While he’s at it, I wish he would Weaponize Uncle Sam and use the power of the fedgov against his enemies, such as shutting down college campuses who receive federal funding and do all sorts of anti-American bullshit, support anti-US professors, etc. Just revoke the funding. I wish he would revoke federal funding for any city/state that pretends to stand up to him. Cut them off from all fedgov benefits. Since fedgov regulates everything, you could literally mess with anything and everything, if you really wanted. Shutter them for various investigations and reviews. Red Tape them to death. Institute procedural halts for minor investigations and infringements to slooooow them down and make their lives hell. EPA inspections of campuses for dangerous chemicals, NLRB and OSHA shutdowns of businesses and agencies for labor and workplace safety inspections. Just use the entire machinery of the state to fuck with people. Like the left has done to everyone else for decades. Sic the IRS on all the leftist groups. Audit the shit out of lefties. Arrest lefty leaders with delinquent student loans. Institute EPA and FDA and whatever else reviews and inspections and cleanups of all the lefty institutions, supporters, congressmen, etc. Fuck everyone up. Even if nothing comes of it, the bad press from investigating Harvard for racism, XYZ company of possibly turning out food full of fecal bacteria, ABC hotel chain of racist hiring, etc etc etc would drastically hurt them. Just sic the IRS on everyone- that’s like kryptonite to money. They do it to us, it’s time they get a taste of it back. Oh, and totally shut down all the protest groups the same way. It’s time all the DNC protest groups and special interests got Tea Partied.
Gil,instead of using the threats of fed dollars(our money!)would rather he straight out cut fed taxes on the average person by say 50% and say to all the states tis up to you to fund these programs ect.!End for good agencies like the dea/atf ect.,put the power in local govt. hands to fund what they want(or not fund).Will have same result as your idea but will be more permanent and thus the local pols need to sell the taxes and services locally,excepting emergencies have a senate and congress that convenes for say 6 weeks a year,folks who really care look at politics as a enlistment/give to the country move/not a career.As usual I could go on but this would be a great start and really would have pols at mercy/good feelings of their citizens.
Yeah, but politics is the art of the possible. You’re talking straight science fiction. We could also stop affirmative racism and have legit 3rd parties and tamper-proof honest balloting and the Fair Tax and an informed citizenry, too.
Yep,that is part of my “I could go on” platform!
Max Boot, Bill Kristol and the rest of the neocons are not insane. Rather they are simply evil. They must be evil since their top priority is the success and expansion of a truly evil regime, that of the state of Israel.
Trump did the right thing meeting with Putin. He deserves are full support in re-building relations with Russia, which are immensely in the long term interests of the USA, and peace on the planet. Putin owes Trump and the USA nothing, and has made Russia completely independent of US power. Russia suffered and has taken the right path to re-gaining its sovereignty. Unfortunately, The USA is not agreement capable and cannot be trusted. But at least Trump has wisely started the process of diffusing tensions, although it will be a long road and the Deep State will attempt to counter his every move. There will be blood at some point………..
Eh, I would say that the UK is less free than the US currently. Although that could change in the blink of an eye.
