The Sh*tocracy and Donald Trump

The latest paroxysms of puerile petulance.

Guest post by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic

Rick Hasen, a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine, said Mr. Cohen’s admission could amount to an “impeachable offense,” particularly if Democrats retake the majority in the House this fall.

The Wall Street Journal, “Cohen Says President Told Him to Pay Women,” August 22, 2018

Mr. Cohen has virtually guaranteed that Democrats will not “retake the majority in the House this fall,” or the Senate either. Setting aside for a moment the legally problematic nature of making out a case for President Trump’s impeachment, is his base more or less likely to show up to the polls if the media and Trump’s legions of enemies are bandying the “I” word? The above quote, and similar quotes from other sources, are fire-em-up locker room fodder, right up there with Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment.

The media and political class vastly overestimate their importance to most Americans. On a stellar night a network newscast is lucky to hit 10 million viewers, or about 3 percent of the American population. Fox, the leading cable news network, gets a little over 2 million viewers, or less than 1 percent. The nation’s leading newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, has a daily average circulation of just over 1 million, or less than one-half of one percent.

It’s a good bet a majority of people in this country can’t name the vice president, a Supreme Court justice, their congressional representative or even one of their senators, their governor, or the anchors on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN or MSNBC. People pay attention to politics and the news media around presidential elections and during crises, but mostly they tune it out. Alternative media commentators fret about the mainstream media’s control of the “narrative.” Such commentary overlooks the fact that most people aren’t listening.

Commentators both mainstream and alternative deplore the “masses’” inattention to all those issues and personalities they find important, but the masses know a few things. In the days of the Soviet Union, when its government had full control of the “narrative” and most everything else, average Ivans and Natashas knew the commissars and apparatchiks were full of shit. It was reflected in the humor: “You pretend to pay us, we pretend to work.” It’s a valuable evolutionary adaptation, this ability to tell when someone’s pissing on your foot and calling it a rainstorm. They may not know who’s the vice president, but that innate mechanism, honed in the school of hard knocks, allows many Americans to separate truth from lies.

Few outside their own little circus will argue that the media and politicians aren’t full of shit. Nobody will argue that Donald Trump is the fulfillment of Diogenes’ quest, but he questioned the shit, mocked the shit-peddlers, and presented an alternative to shit gone stale. When he told Clinton during a debate that she belonged in jail, he was saying what many Americans justifiably believed but were never going to hear from the mainstream shit-peddlers. When he said build a wall, he challenged a consensus that welcomed any brand of immigration “reform” as long as it welcomed any brand of illegal immigrant.

His willingness to say things many people believe, but which never make it to the mainstream, more than his positions on the issues, propelled Trump’s candidacy. Trump’s support came not from dispassionate intellectual analysis, but because he appealed to strong emotions, the strongest of which was: stick it to those assholes in the media and government.

Trump won. So much for the power of mainstream narratives; you can’t fool all the people all the time. Neck-deep in their own manure, the shitocracy went into paroxysms of puerile petulance. Their response: shovel more shit.

Russia-Trump collusion was only meant to be a Clinton talking point, discarded the day after she won. Once she lost, it was the only story the shitocracy had. They’ve tried to run with it, but it pulled up lame when Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity pointed out that DNC servers couldn’t have been remotely hacked, they had to have been leaked via a direct download on site. There’s no Russiagate without a Russian hack.

The conviction of Paul Manafort has been painted as a huge loss for Trump. It’s probably the opposite. The average person has no idea of the ins or outs of Manafort’s case, but there’s no hiding one central fact: fifteen months after his appointment to investigate Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election, Robert Mueller’s big legal “victory” has nothing to do with Trump, Russia, collusion, or the 2016 election. That’s why Trump keeps calling it a witch hunt: the charge resonates.

So now the “smart” money is shifting to “Campaign Finance Violations Impeachment,” going off as a 99 to 1 long shot. As Mark Penn argued at thehill.com, even if Michael Cohen’s story is, for the sake of argument, accepted as true, it’s a huge stretch to call a payment he made to Stormy Daniels and a payment made at his behest by American Media to Karen McDougal campaign contributions. This is true even if the payments helped Trump’s campaign by keeping potential damaging stories from the public. The Federal Election rejected similar arguments in the John Edwards case in 2012.

Talented tweeter Trump immediately noted that Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign paid a $350,000 fine for accepting millions in unreported contributions, but nobody pressed for Obama’s impeachment. Trump has also claimed he didn’t know about Cohen’s payment to Daniels until after it was made, contradicting Cohen’s claim it was directed by Trump. The contradictory stories will never be tested in court under oath and subject to cross-examination, because Cohen has pleaded guilty to eight counts to avoid a trial. (And presumably win some leniency from prosecutors; he’s looking at a long prison sentence.) A sitting president cannot be indicted.

The only forum in which this all could be adjudicated would be an impeachment proceeding. Democratic “prosecutors” would be impeded by Cohen’s tattered reputation and credibility, the hearsay nature of much of his evidence, their own blatantly political motives, and the obvious double standard between the rule of law as applied to Trump and not applied to Obama or Clinton. A fair number of people know a kangaroo court when they see one.

Once a person recognizes the shitocracy for what it is, there’s no reversal. You don’t say to yourself one day: “The media and the politicians are lying sacks of filth,” and the next day: “I think I’ll go back to believing them.” Trump appealed to enough fed up voters to win the election. They won’t bat an eye at Manafort’s verdict or Cohen’s story.

Since the election, with Russiagate, the disclosures about the FBI and the intelligence agencies, the mainstream media’s obvious bias and hostility, and now this week’s “big” news, the ranks of the fed up have only grown. The more shit the shitocracy shovels, the less they’re believed. Microchip us all, put cameras everywhere, track our every electronic move, institute martial law, shut down the internet, ship us off to FEMA camps, and the word will still get out, just as it did in the Soviet Union: they’re full of shit.

Get rid of Trump and he’ll be replaced with a shitocracy turd. That prospect, plus a decent economy, no new wars, progress in a couple of hot spots, eroding support for Democrats among blacks and hispanics, rampant socialist and political correctness lunacy, and what’s undoubtedly going to be a hyperventilated but counterproductive campaign by the mainstream and social media to stoke a blue wave this fall may usher in a red wave instead. The ever-expanding ranks of the cognizant know that America would be irretrievably lost were Trump to be impeached by a kangaroo court on trumped-up charges. They won’t let that happen without a fight.

So, to condense that a mite.

You’re saying the politicians (and bureaucrats / tax-parasites) are all chock-full of shit.
And the taxpayers are tired of the never-ending government / media shit-storm.

Sounds about right.
Except that those tax-parasites & media (& leftist hollywood personalities) seem completely unaware of how “loaded” they are with excrement.

You would think they would have learned following the 2016 election when they droned constantly that it was hiLIARy over Trump in a landslide. They were in the bag for hiLIARy and it was obvious. They sabotaged Trump during the debates. They shared debate questions with hiLIARy. AND SHE STILL LOST…. Chip

Mr. Gore,while I agree with you that the people presented in this article are full of shit excepting the citizens,feel many will vote with headlines on news papers/tv ect.I would agree that this lack of critical thinking may be the result of “feces poisoning”but non the less is there,how else account for half the country voting for hillary?

I would say given the crimes committed by the last administration and many of those folks not only not charged with any crimes but still working in the bowl have me think fecal poisoning has reached all levels of govt.(not really surprising).I have accepted a good chance the dems will get the house(shit house)and yet still will be immobilized to a large degree.

I learned years ago watching the average citizen in Venezuela having problems getting basics like tp,have a few hundred rolls on hand so ready no matter how the shit hits the fan.

Now THAT was a great rant. Finally, the truth.

When he told Clinton during a debate that she belonged in jail, he was saying what many Americans justifiably believed but were never going to hear from the mainstream shit-peddlers. When he said build a wall, he challenged a consensus that welcomed any brand of immigration “reform” as long as it welcomed any brand of illegal immigrant.

Enjoyed the article. “Shitocracy” reminded me of the late Mr. Lahey on Trailer Park Boys. A couple of great Laheyisms for a Friday night:

I loved this article and will send it to all my friends. But what frightens me is the commercials on dancing with the Stars and similar.
A story illustrates. My home state is one of only two that allow tripple trailers on semi trucks. They will have three rigs bring two trailers each to the boarder with California, and have two of the rigs grab a third trailer. When they get to Washington they reverse the process. It is difficult to pass and, boy what fun on a rainy day with the wind whipping that third trailer around. So some activists got together a petition to change state law to disallow triples. Volunteers stood on street corners had no problems gathering the required votes and the proposal made it to the ballot without any difficulty or opposition.
Then just three weeks before the election, the trucking industry flooded the airwaves with ads on the evening to shows to let everyone know that our prices would skyrocket if we restricted triples. The activists, being nieve do-gooders hand nooney or professional help to respond, so it was a one sided ad blitz.
Now after years of experience with the tripple, everyone knew what was what on the road. But what did the voters vote?

Baa,baa,baa.

We still have the triples. The sheep scare me more than the triples.

Ps, if you think things have changed since then, we had a GMO labeling campaign four years ago that followed the exact same script.

The article opens with “Mr. Cohen has virtually guaranteed that Democrats will not “retake the majority in the House this fall,” or the Senate either.“

Seriously, that is a very long bow to draw. The Dem voters are already showing to be energized – Trump won largely because many Dems stayed home because they thought Clinton had it in the bag, or they were too disgusted to vote for her.

The recent byelection is a far better barometer, where the Repubs snuck across the line after suffering about a ten point swing against. The Dems are likely coming out in droves this election. The Repubs are going to have a hard time holding.

If, and it is a big if, blacks have turned to Trump at say 30+percent, now that may be a saving change for the Repubs, as generally they get around 5% of that vote. But unless it is a black candidate, they tend not to have high turnouts.

My bet is the Dems take the House, not the Senate. The Dems are going to come out in large numbers, and the Repubs already did last election.

We will see.

The DNC is losing voters in droves. #WalkAway is a big thing that MSM won’t tell you about. Blacks are waking up and walking away. Trumps campaign rally’s are just as big now as they were during his own campaign. More people show up without tickets knowing they can’t get in but they show up anyway. Trump team has been setting up big video screens outside for those without tickets. MSM won’t tell you about that either. Dems are going to get fucking slaughtered in the midterms. Except for the relatively few Trump voters here, Trumps base is seriously energized and growing beyond 2016 levels. Just look at the Q followers growing in numbers. That’s not happening so they can vote Commie/Dem! The politicians Trump be endorsing and Stumpin’ for are winning the vast majority of their primaries. Even lefty journalists have begun to tell Dems that losing the midterms is not the end.

Enjoy the show!

IS – I have made a lot of money from folks betting their heart and not their intellect. Betting on what one wants to happen, as opposed to what rationally is likely to happen, is a good way to lose money. That is why I never bet on the team I like. Takes the emotion out of things.

IndenturedServant

Not betting with my heart. that is reserved for family and close friends. Not betting money either although I have offered and will stand by it if anyone takes me up on it. I put $1000 on the line. want some?

Don’t care for Trump team myself. didn’t vote for him. Still not even registered to vote. I have seen enough evidence to convince me that the what Q alludes to is in fact playing out just under the surface.

I’m not insane. I’m still prepped as I have been the vast majority of my life. It’s how I live my life. I just refuse to believe that the human race is confined to defeat and doom except for the odd First Turning. Fuck that! The owners of this planet are not numerous enough or powerful enough to resist what is coming.

I.S.

“The owners of this planet are not numerous enough or powerful enough to resist what is coming.”

Most of the “masses” have NO IDEA who the “owners” even are.when the manufactured crises thrusts the average Joe into survival mode the “owners” not even on the same continent when it happens, doom and gloom? Or just being realistic?

Impeachment is a political process not a legal one. Communists win the House control Trump is impeached. He stands a good chance of being convicted with RINO ‘s sideing with the Dems in the Senate.
The Republic is in extreme danger and there are crazies out there who could do violence.

prusmc

The state’s that looked like the could edge into Republican Senatorial success: West Virginia,North Dakota, Montana are now safely Democrat. Missouri is no longer a long shot.That leaves things pretty much as it is now, Nevada was clearly a GOP loss from the start. But with Marsha Blackburn flaming out in Tennessee and Ted Cruz imperiled in TX it looks like 51 to 49 with Schumer as Majority leader.
The question then is which Republican Senators will vote with Chuck for coviction and how many?

Trump needs to put a FBI, or other LEO agent in every poling place in the big cities “to protect the elections from Russia interference.” Give them one of those click counter gizmos. Be interesting to see how many poling places have more votes than people who came through the door.

I held my nose and voted for Romney in Burbank, Ca in 2012.
When they asked me my name so they could check it on the roll, the poll-worker said, “Sir, you’ve already voted.” Of course, in California no I.D. is necessary to vote. I pulled out my license, shoved it in his face and said, “See this?! Give me a ballot right now!” Of course, my vote just nullified by a no-doubt Obongo vote, but at least it did.
There were about 30 people in line at 7:30 that morning. I noted there seemed to be an outsized proportion of blacks in line for a mostly White Burbank.

Don’t forget illegals since ID, in most voting arenas, is not required. The probability of dems learning from their rigged voting yet losing in ‘16 could prove even more creative ways to cheat the citizens out of justly elected candidates.

Not Sure

Great article! I do realize that half the country mindlessly regurgitates the MSM talking points, but down to earth articles like this can have a big impact in equipping the reasonables (once known as deplorables) to allow common sense to rule and vote out the sh*tocrats.
The only concern I do have is the amount of criminal activity the democrats have shown since they have found their platforms do nothing to move their base and therefore have resorted to stuffing the ballot boxes with deceased, illegals, or voters who do so multiple times. For the momentum to remain in Trumps favor, there will need to be an overwhelming Republican voter turnout to counter the bus loads of illegal votes that will try to turn the tide against Trump.
So PLEASE get out to vote and encourage other like minded individuals to also get to the booths; I have had the time of my life watching the Trump train roll over the MSM and the liberals who talk themselves into deeper and deeper irrelevant sh*tholes of things they stand for, illegals, MS-13, Muslim sympathies over American citizens etc. I want the exposing to continue well into 2020. It has been a great experience, I want it to continue!

Sorry, Not Sure, but I refuse to vote until we go back to paper ballots and I’m allowed to watch the vote count. What’s the point of voting when the machines I use can be preprogramed for a desired outcome, or hacked, or votes can be flipped? Sorry.

VV, even then (paper ballots in our tiny community) we have a distrust for those “counting” the ballots. We live in a 98% Hispanic region along the Tx border and have questioned for the 9 yrs we’ve lived here if our **deplorable** vote really counts

not sure

FWIW, Your call, but if all votes are counted, along with the busloads shipped in to pad the box illegally, then your vote will defiantly matter and may make the difference between a close call and SJW’s running the country into the ground.
For the record, I despise spineless republicans, but for 2018, if the Trump ball is dropped, there will never be another chance to MAGA, with the coming flood of undocumented immigrants invading the land, if the dems take the house or senate.

I watched the Kansas gubernatorial primary with interest, since that is where I spent all but the last five years of my life. The two Republicans, Chris Kobach, who I like, and Colyer came within 200 votes of each other, 127211 to 127101. Two hundred votes in Johnson county, the richest and most populous in the state. There was a problem of some sort with the computer tabulation or something. I’m not sure what exactly happened but it took them several days to tabulate it and it came down to provisional ballots.

Colyer decided to concede so there will be no need for a re-count but if this had been between the two parties, they would probably still be duking it out.

LMAO How soon we forget Syria. Expecting the Swamp Thing to drain the swamp was a fool’s errand. We again were simply presented with the lesser of two evils as in all other fake elections. Trump is following the script, as ordered. His handlers are quite pleased with him. This is why he is still alive. If you want to see what happens to a president that goes off script, please see Kennedy/Reggan. Funny that both of those Presidents wanted to pass bills that threatened the Central Bank. No fear of that from the current Swamp Thing. He bathes in the cool waters of a corrupt monetary system.

The country is demographically finished. Utterly finished. In Democracy, politics is about voters opening their mouths like baby birds for morsels that are thrown at them.

The only hope for the future is national bankruptcy, like the USSR in 1991. At this point we should encourage ever more spending to reach this goal. The sooner the better. There will be much civil strife during this time period, but it would be an opportunity to thin the herd, which is badly needed.

I’m really just getting fed up with the hypocrisy in the MSM, the Congress and the Intelligence Community.

That’s what really pisses me off. And the glaring bias in the three-letter bureaucracies are also notable. None of them can be trusted.

Those of us here are closely monitoring the situation.

    As for the decline you mention, it may be less intellectual but we more than made up for it with Q and AltRight articles. The viewership numbers are up. I recall mentioning to Admin that TBP had great potential if not for the jealous mistreatment of noobs by the inner circle of jerks that wanted to keep TBP a private club. You should read Admin’s papal bull titled “What TBP means to me”. It’s a total re-direct that reflects Admin’s new focus on life and the purpose of the blog.

    I tried convincing him to get some help when Uncola showed up here rambling incoherently several years ago and previous to that as well. Maybe as far back as Maggie’s arrival on TBP shores? I had hoped his year+ absence meant he was getting some help. Apparently he was doubling down.

    I was around, probably simply seashells on TBP shores, lurking and learning a bit about some of you who comment here. And elsewhere.

    You see, I stumbled upon some of you who post at other blogs and found it interesting to see you here. It is when I discovered the unique blogosphere here at Quinn’s place. I think he sees what I see. If I truly can sit upright and type at a comfortable angle again without heartburn, I just might put in a “What TBP Means to Me” sequel.

    Which you monkeys can read, ignore or diss.

    Look, I just called Sensetti on trash talking Admin on the ONE post Top Guard Dog who kills Raccoons WILL NOT happen to see it. And, obviously not even when summoned for lumberjack duty. Remind me of that story another time. Part of my post surgery hopes includes stopping letting myself distract myself. So far, so so.

    So, I called him on it (am not going to look at timestamps. I just seem to be able to sit upright more today… uh oh). So, just about the time Admin dropped the casual FU he gives every time he notices someone shows up drunk to piss on one of his volunteer authors, I suggested he was wrong in a very kind way.

    I happened to be on very a.m. due to a place called Circadia (Now there’s a punny title for you, eh? “A Trip to Circadia”) you visit after surgeries, and had postponed reading this one until I could get into position that allows more than a bit of reading/typing. I’ve decided to write a “How To” later on my surgery, so don’t want to give anything away.

    And then he accused someone of smoking crack (me?) and the next thing I knew he claimed his “posts” had all been censored while I could see them right on the page near his comment. I answered with the next attempted snark… I was defending the Big Dog in Stucky’s absence, though he can defend himself fine. I hate it when people try to say Admin censors. I’ve heard of the two or three comments which were deleted, but I NEVER have seen that happen here. The reason this is MY Go To for news is that Quinn lets people post here with whom he disagrees! Really! Why do that?

    Maybe this burning platform of which he speaks has something to do with another burn, say around 451 degrees Fahrenheit?

    Boys, you all got your panties in wads when T4C and Gayle and a couple other smart gals showed up (and I welcomed Whosie SUSIE by accident) and “joined” the team, like it or not. Boy’s Clubs are fun. But, when the shit is obviously hitting the fan and you need to know how you can help cleanup because you are gonna need us for rebuild too, it is time to realize our country has completely allowed the cornerstone of this nation to be completely overrun with people intent on extinguishing us as a people. And that cornerstone is the FAMILY.

    No one comes to see me right now. There are two, possibly three, people I will see while in this infirm a state. Husband, son and, possibly, oldest female AF friend from St. Louis, if she wants to leave her mother’s bedside in nursing care. We are made of hard stuff, some of us broads and it is time you realize it and stop just laughing at the booby gifs while sucking on a cold one. Nobody does shit longterm without women by their side. Or behind them, nagging them. Either way, it gets the job done.

    And they are Helpmeets because you love them as Christ loves his church. What’s left of it, anyway.

    Or view this and other articles of mine in a place I (Maggie) will not reveal now.

    Now, RG. Self-promotion is what got Stucky all bent out of shape over your posting here. Sure, we like your stuff okay, but the continual pointers to your articles on Straight Line Logic were getting wearing. And the elevator speeches about being glad to “host” each author’s post you shared were a bit pompous, but I worked for a big Program Management Team out of DC whose boardroom windows were beside the Potomac with a view of the Lawn. Location, location, location. So, I am cool with it, but we are in a different era now.

    Just. Like. That.

    Get with the program. Link to Quinn first, mention self second.

    While all this Hakaka is going on in Washington something very important is developing on the home front. The 2nd fleet is being resurrected. This is a defense posture.

    A multipolar world seems to be fast approaching. This means North America; that is the U.S., Canada and Mexico merges as one entity, and is protected by this fleet.

    For those that don’t think so just consider all that these countries in North America have in common.

    It is circumstances that create the possibilities of the future; not politics. Right now there are three powerful countries driving the circumstances; the US, Russia and China. US influence is in North and South America, Russia influence is gaining in The middle East & Europe, and China is influencing the Pacific Rim.

    The old guard is dying in this country. This means our foreign policies along with our desire for empire will die with them. When the dust settles we will be better off.

    North America is rich in natural resources and intelligent people. What has hindered us is the misuse of our governments by the idiots that run these governments. Lawyers and accountants that are soul-less!

    The resurrection of the 2nd fleet is a sign that a radical change is in the air for us and the world. The glass is half full. The real estate of North America is worth far more than our national debts. Our money is backed by real estate and the working potential of the people; not gold. What is quin-trillion compared to trillion? It is all digital money that can be transferred from the crooks that stole it back into the people’s account.

    The rule of law; administrative law, sucks. This law is the reason for most of our problems. And who created this law? Lawyers; soul-less lawyers concerned with service to self.

    I like President Kennedy’s saying: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” This is service to others.

    What this country needs right now is a requirement that all young people coming out of high school serve their country for two year of public service. There is so much to do in rebuilding our infrastructure and increasing it. We badly need new water distribution systems, roadways and bridges. There is so much that can be done providing wise people are in office that can direct people. Lawyers and accountants should not be in political positions. These professions are tools to be used by competent leaders.

    So don’t worry be happy. The dark clouds will pass. The Hakaka in Washington is the death rattle of the dying old guard.

    Matt Bracken has posted a video that details the government civil war that is going on right now in the United States. It’s pretty certain that if Trump had not won the election, there would be no Mueller investigation, Manafort conviction or any of this other political nonsense. These men may have committed crimes, but without the impetus of the deep state and the governmental gangsters doubling down, their efforts to take president Trump down would not exist. Matt also gives some ideas on how to fight social media censorship. Matt clearly outlines the need for the GOP to retain control of congress this fall to keep the deep state in check.

    Mr. Gore, I agree completely with your assessment, however my concern is that “impeachment” is just a talking point, and a distraction. The real meat is far more troubling. It was once said that if you are being chased by 10 state troopers, they will find something to charge you with. The truth in that, and the fact that we have ZERO enforcement of the rule of law in this country, tells me that the point of all these “investigations” is not to flip us normal citizens. Hell, as Carlin said so eloquently, we the “citizens” lost the battle a long time ago.
    No, I am afraid what this is about is control. Trump is like a hand grenade to the establishment, and a several multi-billion dollar a year “industry” called Washington. They – the owners – simply want to put the pin back in this hand grenade. If they can gain that leverage, we will never know it, other than you will see Trump start to talk more, but no action will come of it. It will be another 3 years of nothing burgers, and a whole lot of distraction and false promises. The change promised will simply NOT happen, while we will be told that all these “changes” are happening.
    Watch carefully, because I feel we will see, through ACTIONS, if Trump is still effective. Remember, frankly he is more useful remaining in power, and making us all THINK he is changing things, than some “impeachment” theater performance. An impeachment would strengthen the resolve of the base, but de-fanging Trump, that would keep the masses chasing their tales (pun intended).

    The Trumpeteers who believe he is not putting on a show and is handlers didn’t tap into the underlying resentment found through data mining companies similar to the Facebook Cambridge Analytics bullshit to develop talking points should be added to the list of fools!

    Gore mentions a prime example that most people failed to realize the power of,

    “When he told Clinton during a debate that she belonged in jail, he was saying what many Americans justifiably believed but were never going to hear from the mainstream shit-peddlers. ”

    After Dubya , the “decider” and his art form of making up new words we had the silver tongued teleprompt reading Barry who spoke so “eloquently” compared to Bush and enter pant suit wearing Hillary, wife of Bill I never inhaled or had sexual relations with that woman Clinton versus tough talking supposedly “straight shooting” UN P.C.

The “he’s on our side” fuckery wins every time. Carter, Reagan and Trump were always liberal Dems repackaged for a new freshness date. Trump never missed a Dem Nat’l.

    “Get rid of Trump and he’ll be replaced with a shitocracy turd.” ——-RGore

    Not one person here has the balls to refute that comment … or the article in general?? Holy fuck, how is that even possible?

    Perhaps the inhabitants here really are a bunch of lemmings. You’d rather fall all over yourselves congratulating the author for his deep insights. Ha. Our politicians are full of shit, as is the media, and the people don’t like it. You call this deep thinking????

    It’s milquetoast pablum from an author who specializes in feeding it to you with every article he writes. I wonder if you are the same people who think Walmart offers quality products, and McDonalds is gourmet food.

    Can’t you see the selected quote for what it is? It’s more Trump-Is-Great pornography … just like his last article was, the one where he slammed Dems and praised Repubs. Now, that’s just fine if you’re a Trumpeteer … and we have many here. But …. I did not know that EVERYONE on TBP is a Trumpeteer! Where is dissent? Objectivity? Man, this is sad.

    Can’t you see what this propagandist Gore is saying? By saying that we’ll get a “shitocracy turd” only IF Trump is replaced, that what he is clearly implying is that we don’t have a shitocracy turd NOW!! You all are buying this?

    Again, I can understand if several, perhaps even a small majority, has their head-in-the-sand and thinks that everything under Trump is peechy keen. After 8 years of the Caucasian Kneegrow it’s our turn to believe in that Hopey-Changy thingy. But …. everybody????

    You definitely are not aware of the sad state of Mexican culture. If you went to live there, you would go out of your mind watching telenovelas and listening to narco-corridos and norteno music.

    I am in 100 percent t agreement with your ASSessment of another Gore diatribe…

    Stucky believes Trump is a shitocracy turd. Gore doesn’t believe that. What does the evidence show?

    Trump bombs Syria twice based on false flagged evidence.

    Trump has yet to meet a banker or a deficit he didn’t like. Omnibus and no wall.

    On the other hand, look at his accomplishments:

    OR, IS IT ALL JUST A REALITY TV SHOW?

    RiNS

    It is just a reality show. None of these people are going to jail.

    Mary Christine

    That’s probably true, unfortunately for us, RiNS. I just like the word “Shitocracy”. It’s shorthand for “the entire shit show” we are watching. It’s much more useful than Kleptocracy which I always have to explain to people and then they look at me like I have a third eye.

    That Trump is better then Hillary bandwagon gets old but it’s true. I am glad we got more time. I think more people are starting to see what is really going on here so that is a gift in itself.

    MC – How bout Harpy and Trump are both bad actors to enable the criminal cartel to keep looting?? Why can’t you say/admit that? Why is it you and others can’t admit the whole thing stinks to high heaven?

    RiNS

    Everything is the same as it ever was..

    it all stinks to high heaven… I’d point that out to Gore but he doesn’t have time for peons like me. Play nice and he says nice things. Besides Gore only responds to a few around here. The rest he just ignores. He expects us to clap like trained seals.

    Maybe Sensetti is right…. a bit offside but then again haven’t we all been offside once in a while. I really hope the grumpy old fuck sticks around. He is good at throwing grenades which is needed in battle against groupthink…

    In the meantime I am all doomed out…

    Further to the same ol same shit I am all clapped out when it comes to my arguments with friends for past year and a half on Trump. It is gettin’ old, real old, telling everyone who will listen, that best reason for him being there is that Trump is better than Cankles. When anything is better than that Cunt. Trump’s best bet is to get on with it and start doing the things that got him elected. But he won’t…

    it is all smoke and mirrors..

    And then there is the Qanon thing. But that has been covered by sealed indictments..

    I jest..

    So to end I must admit that you and Stucky are correct. We live in a Shitocracy now.. I changed my mind…

    And The conclusion in this piece is wrong.

    RiNS++++++Well THANK YOU for having the balls to say what needs to be said RiNS.

    OBTW RiNS, Trump & Co. just dumped you Canucks in the toilet bowl today.

    RiNS

    If you are referring to the NAFTA deal with Mexico it is well deserved. Really! To think that Trudeau is willing to burn everything to ground to protect supply management system is beyond ridiculous. It should be abandoned. It was setup to protect small family farms and has like every government program since time began done exactly the opposite. It has also distorted the market with Quebec having an outsized portion of quota because its population has not kept pace with Rest of Canada

    So that now a days Quebec gets too big a share of it. If any change occurs that Province will be hit hard.. but what Quebec wants the rest get whether its liked or not…

    Might be good time fer some tuff love.. Trump should do it..

    BL
    BL

    Didn’t say it wasn’t deserved , the boy wonder is going to run the ship aground. What were the Canucks thinking to elect a twat like Tru-don’t??

    RiNS

    Trump is suddenly looking like the smartest guy in the room…again.

    Hard to believe but then again he isn’t exactly competing with intellectual giants. As for that twat well there are a shit tonne of folks here who are professionals at being Progressives. That is the main reason we have a part time former high school drama teacher as leader of this country..

    Still even you Bea have to hand it to Trump. And the best part is it all happened on what should have been McShame’s big day on Capitol Hill..

    Amazing.

    Stucky

    “Besides Gore only responds to a few around here.”

    Gore uses TBP is a launching platform to direct people to HIS site.

    I’m sure you’ve noticed that he pretty much hardly EVER comments here … except when one of his articles is up.

    Maggie
    Maggie

    I pointed that out to him earlier, but he acted as if I didn’t know of what I spoketh.

    RiNS

    That is all it is for him. Been thru this thread and read this bit that Gore wrote..

    Stucky ignores me; I ignore him. Life is good.

    I think that is bullshit as he ignores loads of folks around here.

    And you don’t ignore him. In fact you just called him out yet again and all you get in return is crickets..Why is it that everyone else who posts an article here is expected to defend what they have to say. But not Gore…Its frustrating and few options.

    So the whole thing turns into a giant circle jerk. Everyone congratulating everyone else on the awesomeness of the article and the comments…

    Sensetti is right place needs a good kick in the ballz.

    So instead folks write shit like…

    A Great Article Mr. Gore.
    I’m gonna tell all my friends
    or even better..
    I am going to repost on my blog…

    And I must admit before Lord Odin that I am guilty as charged. And why.

    Well because putting effort into a critique is just not worth it when you know the author is just going to look the other way.

    Makes a fella not want to do it.. and then

    after a while the thread strays cuz everyone gets wise to the game.

    It makes everything taste like vanilla and worst of all is

    BORING!

    RiNS

    Robert I will be first to admit to enjoying your writing. However the point of TBP is to post and engage the shit monkeys. In your defense you do to a point. And yeah you must be a busy man. But so are we all. We don’t ever hear from Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan. So you have one leg up on them. Still it does make for a boring thread when all that can be got from you is the occasional thank you. Just speaking for myself I don’t see the point in putting forth the effort to write something in return.

    There is not much give and a whole lotta take. That is my gripe and Stucky’s too… But it is what it is…

    What I find funny is I wrote that above and then you proceeded to launch into a 600 word essay on why you just don’t have the time.. I find that interesting.. sort of.. anyways.

    Be glad you make a couple hundred bucks cause that makes you a 1% er.
    And don’t apologize, you don’t have to respond. But you are being dishonest when you say..

    Stucky ignores me; I ignore him. Life is good.

    and you know it…

    I consider you a valuable contributor to TBP. This site wouldn’t have gotten any visibility if Zero Hedge hadn’t been a huge supporter, posting everything I wrote.

    Once again, Argee (is the Barred Rock!), I apologize for continuing the discussion on your post, but really, as we all know, it draws people in to read and occasionally, they learn that we TBP folks are a bit different than most blog groupies.

    However, I wanted to point to blatant misdirections by some people around here, while agreeing I did take a bit of a swipe at you for promoting your blog. Again, I DO NOT BLAME YOU. In fact, your contributions here inspired me to try to invent Agnes, so I could blog without my hillbilly community seeing my moniker and following me here. I trust them at the creek with guns, but don’t want their opinions here.

    The mechanic declined to enter the fray, recognizing that I’d once again jumped in where angels fear to tread.

    RiNS

    Yeah everything is good. Maybe I shouldn’t have taken the detour to take a run at Gore. He is far more valuable to this joint than lil ol me..But it ended up that way. Too late now..Still

    Admin is right. We might have our spats yet at end of the day we’re spitting in same direction.

    Let me tell you something, in case you didn’t know, Admin does not need help kicking ass. Oh sure, it’s nice to lend him some moral support and sometimes handle his light work but Sensetti is an old timer and a good friend, it was not necessary for you to further denigrate him after Admin dropped him on the deck. All your talk that me and Bea let you down is just making this about you and it ain’t about you at all.

    What Rins said bares repeating… to me this is how true discovery happens…the back and forth in the comment section is where it has always been at…the amazing writers get it started and the shit throwing monkeys dissect it, chew on it and fling it around

    Well because putting effort into a critique is just not worth it when you know the author is just going to look the other way.

    Stucky

    “Stucky believes Trump is a shitocracy turd.”

    Yes, I do. And that’s because NOTHING is being done with the underlying rot in ‘Murika. For example, the ruinous effects of the Fed, debt that will never be repaid …. we’ve been through this shit a thousand times before.

    Trump is just applying varnish over the rot. How will that work out long time.

    But, get this … I support him as POTUS! The alternative … Hillcunt … is too horrible to contemplate.

    You ask, “what can ya do?”, and the answer is simple, just stop the one sided BS like this article and attack the whole. We must stop the red/blue nyah, nyah lip service to aid the usual suspects which allows them to win every time and clean out our pockets.
