Trump’s Agenda is Officially Dead

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

We should not expect Trump to get any of his agenda items through Congress. Trump’s promises to replace the Affordable Care Act, invest in infrastructure, and cut middle class taxes have been essentially shelved. The Democrats refuse to cooperate on anything in hopes of using that against him in 2020. What this really means illustrates my concerns. Government has simply ceased to exist and all we have is a couple deadlocked in a bitter divorce.

This reminds me of the best scene on this subject from “When Harry met Sally” and how bitter a divorce can be. This is what politics has degenerated to and it is in line with our computer’s forecasts that this is the end-game for Western civilization. There is just no going back. Government is now a battle to see which side can destroy civilization first. Websters’ defines civilization as “refinement of thought, manners, or taste,” none of which we can see in Washington anymore.

The entire purpose of civilization is everyone coming together because the sum is greater than the individuals. Today, we have reverted back to the individuals and there is no longer any cohesive sum that is greater. We have devolved backwards and it will take the crash and burn of government before we can rise from the political ashes with hope of a new government structure that once again respects the liberty of the individual.

While the Democrats have officially killed the Trump agenda, what they fail to understand is that this is also the destruction of their agenda as well. There will no longer be a government of ALL the people, it is now a government of us v them. That is how civilization dies. It defeats the entire purpose of forming societies. Politics has become a confrontation to impose tyranny upon your opponent. The very core of socialism is to deny individual freedom. The state comes first – the individual second. Everything the American Revolution stood for is now completely overturned.

Bad timing for the article to come out; Barr is making promises that may turn the tide on the coup. Once the pendulum swings in Trumps favor, the domino effect of all the criminal activity done by the perps will be awesome to behold.

But (there’s always a but), will Trump move to take advantage of the retreating liberals? Sigh, just have to wait and see.

Trump is no friend of yours or mine. He’s had ample opportunity to get some things done on immigration and has backed off.

If you didn’t catch it earlier, here’s his agenda:

Yeah, once Trump is back in the saddle, he can press his new agenda of going to war with Iran. Or maybe Turkey. Depends on what Bibi and Jerrod work out.

Liberals aka: leftists never retreat. They double down. I admire your optimism but I doubt anything will come of the revelations of the corruption in high places. Too big to jail. As to Trump…how many present Trump bashers were former Trump supporters? Trump has been effectively neutered. It always happens like this. When Reagan got too close he got a taste of a bullet and that calmed his efforts considerably. Ditto JFK altho those bullets hit their mark.
What we have now is the culmination of a power play that will bring down the country. The carcass will be picked of natural resources and the populace will gnash teeth but do nothing because the might of the military will come down on those who dissent. History repeats.

As a rock solid Bush Senior former AG, former CIA – lifelong slimy Swamp creature Barr is just enforcing the truce between Trump (backed by the Zionists) and the Bush Crime Family.

It’s not clear how the Clinton Crime family fits into Georgie W backing down and bowing out of taking Poppy’s place. But, Mueller was defanged because of the truce and Barr is there to broker and enforce the deal…what ever the fine print states.

However, there is no truce between Trump (backed by the Zionists) and the hard core ideological Commie/Obama gang. Heads will roll…but they will all be just Shadow Government Soldier heads…not too far up the food chain. However, Georgie W won’t be sneaking Michael any more breath mints.

Have to give the people sheeple some bodies (and entertainment/distraction) in the arena while the Game of Thrones continues on.

It’s nice you think that. Reality is more likely Trump does nothing, nothing changes, and we go back to DNC running the country into the ground while the Repubes play controlled ineffectual opposition with their hands in their pockets, but proud of their pointless, but principled speeches. Nothing will change, nothing will improve, and we can get back to our regularly scheduled corruption and flailing just as soon as the next election.
I wish Trump was half the dictator monster the left claims he is- he might actually accomplish something useful in that case.

If what you say is true, then let the games begin. I will admit that we have sent to washington via our vote the most accomplished lier’s. So much so most of them boarder on being sociopaths. This country was founded as a Representative Republic with its native tongue as English and its major religion being Christian. You can correct me if I am wrong. The point is, we have a plan in the draw that has worked for over 250 years. Pull it out and follow it. What we are following now will only wind up in a blood bath.

No way you can blame the democrats for the continuation of Obama care and the failure of the Trump agenda. Trump himself did plenty to shoot his own feet (bump stock ban? “Take the guns first, go through due process second.” .). The GOP did NOTHING when they held the entire Congress, presidency and a conservative majority in the SCOTUS. The GOP is complicit. Fuck them and the dems.

We will eventually have our John Brown and Harper’s Ferry event. It gets closer day by day. What it is and where it will be I know not. But once it does happen, that’s when everyone in the country will accept that to get rid of the problems you have to get rid of the people who cause the trouble. The problem is all factions will think in those terms. You had better buy arms and learn how to shoot them. You will have problems if the place where you live is chock full of people whose thought processes are aligned in a direction 180 degrees opposite of your own.

1) America has been ungovernable for a long time and it gets worse as time goes on.

2) If Trump could do anything substantial, he’d have done it by now because he’s had more than two years and only managed to fire a few career bureaucrats out of thousands of parasites.

3 Don’t hold your breath waiting for the ‘gazillion sealed indictments’ to get served. Do you notice no one’s even talking about them anymore?

4) Get ready for a shit-storm. Watching it unfold is like watching paint dry. It doesn’t happen fast. The only hope is it ends with a whimper, not a bang.

5) Forget the day-to-day shit; it’s just the same distraction it’s always been.

“the Democrats have officially killed the Trump agenda”
Trump has no agenda or ideology. He will say or do whatever it takes to get what he wants. And when the winds shift, he will change his position and rhetoric and call you fake news for reporting his original position. Trump is a master salesman, and his supporters are having trouble accepting they got played.

It was DOA. As if some reality tv show owner was going to have any ability to affect a system with so much power and control that it can make the ancestors of former slaves of jewish plantations go and fuck white girls (whilst simultaneously never fucking jewish girls who are the ancestors of the slave owners). Think of the amount of power that it takes to divert an entire culture in ways like that, and they’ve done it in hundreds of different subtle ways. There is zero chance that this turns around, it is truly demonic to the core.

do not conflate trump with the GOP establishment . they have fought him at ever turn, enabled the democrats and deep state , steadfastly refused to defend him in any way. just as their cheap labor donors have demanded. Donald trump was a protest vote against both established parties.

Trump is hog tied by Democrats, RINOs, and NeoCons. Even if we get a Wall, the illegals will only be stopped a few minutes before they go over it or through some hole; and the chance of US getting tough immigration laws like Poland, Austria, Hungary etc, are zero. The Elites own our Congress and the MSM, the US to get over-run like France and England, Democrats elected, US to fight Syria & Iran, Civil Riots & Chaos, the Dollar destroyed and replaced with Rothschild e-money & the Chip. We can forget about ever voting our way back to Freedom.
