Text Wars on Smartphones and Frenzied Bullshittin’…

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

In past articles, I’ve written about my political discussions with friends in my social circle and, most often, within a group of us who meet on Saturday mornings for breakfast.  These have included “Breakfast Club: Dining with Friends”,  “The Persistence of Their Delusion is Despicable”, “The Rants of the Libtards Ring Hollow then Echo”, and “The Conspiracies are Broad and Deep”.  We all know each other through a shared involvement and patronage of a community organization; and, although attendance has grown through the years, the majority of us are middle-aged, Caucasian, and college-educated professionals.

At least one in our group has no genuine interest in politics, but most of the others can’t stand Trump and consider me to be an ultra-right-wing, crazy conspiracy theorist.  I would say more than a few have outwardly embraced socialist policies, if not Socialism in toto, and then there is a RINO (Republican In Name Only) who responds to me with a loud “F*ck you!” whenever I’ve addressed him as such.

The Superfluous Spontaneity of Seismic Happenstances

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

On Wednesday April 10, 2019 the recently appointed Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, publically acknowledged the largest political scandal in American history. This declaration occurred during a senate hearing and, specifically, during an exchange with Democratic New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

When Barr told her he thought “spying on a political campaign is a big deal”, Shaheen, in turn, asked:  “You’re not suggesting, though, that spying occurred?”

To which Barr replied:

I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur. But the question is whether it was adequately predicated and I am not suggesting that it wasn’t adequately predicated. But I need to explore that.

Unsurprisingly, afterwards, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she didn’t trust Attorney General Barr.  She, furthermore, implied the contention of Trump’s campaign being spied on “undermines Barr’s independence as the nation’s top law enforcement officer”.  As if trying to convince herself, Pelosi added that Barr’s comments undermined “the Constitution and his role in the Justice Department”.

A Satirical Dream: Trump’s 2019 State of the Union Address

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow Americans:

It’s been another year since your president has stood before you to, once again, deliver yet another State of the Union address.

Tonight, however, will not be the standard fare.  Instead of half-truths and false optimism, I am going to set aside all that in order to say what I believe is true.

Dear citizens, we now stand a crossroads and we must choose.  We must choose if we are to move forward and deal with the real problems facing our nation, or to progress as a country of corruption; whether to return to our roots as an honorable republic – a nation of laws,  or to continue our decline into lawlessness and the abyss.

The Persistence of Their Delusion is Despicable

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

As I’ve written of before, I’m part of a group of men that meet for breakfast on some weekends as a result of our shared involvement in a community organization.  A few weeks ago, I dined with two of the men who seemed genuinely excited about the upcoming Blue Wave they believe will occur in the November midterm elections.

One of the men, a business owner self-identifying as a Republican, said that after much thought and analysis, Hillary Clinton would have made a better president than Donald Trump.  The other man, who is a physician, is by any definition a rainbow-flag waving Cultural Marxist.

When I explained to them my perspectives, they said I needed to “quit watching the lies on Fox News”.  At one point during our conversation, the RINO (Republican in Name Only) said the Deep State did not exist.  When I asked if he would acknowledge the influence of unelected government officials throughout the “swamp”, he simply stated again “there was no Deep State”.

And so began conversations that extended over the next several days.
