I'm really not a "Trumpist", but it seems that if you don't agree with the "resistance", that is how you get labelled, because that mindset seems to be incapable of thinking beyond 1-2, on off, red blue. And this board has a problem with Russian agents, like the nameless one.

It is difficult to always express this through the internet, but just because I bring up an idea or piece of information doesn't mean I endorse it or support it necessarily - I am capable of thinking about an abstract idea without it consuming me. That seems to make you guilty in the eyes of the "resistance".

The whole fake news thing is a joke, the people screaming FAKE NEWS won't even acknowledge someone like Noam Chomsky or Alfred MCCoy-its not like the CIA stopped coordinating the media suddenly! the people screaming FAKE NEWS in many cases are those who have produced most of it, like the New York Times!

The "resistance" is screaming "fascist" but they use and pay for all the tools of the fascists and endorse the cashless, totalitarian society. They are fucking pod people. Their obsession with Amazon is destroying the country. Nevermind Amazon's preferential treatment and classified business from the Feds, which would be called fascism under any definition.

But what is really going on? In NY State, "liberal" Andrew Cuomo has put into a place a surveillance system so you are constantly being tracked moving around NY State. He wants to put a tracking system on the streets of Manhattan to toll us for going up and down our own city streets.

There's a lot to digest there. I need time.

Meanwhile, Dowd....McMaster......just another day in Trumpworld.

Remember that Flynn tweet that Dowd took credit for in an attempt to plug the leaky dam? He is either a) a fucking liar (which I believe) or b) completely incompetent for constructing such a tweet. Either way, it's bad.

Its amazing how sensitive Trump lovers are to abuse, the people who complain about "political correctness", they bleat and moan about being called names.

[!@#$%!]

mcmaster out, bolton in

only a week after huckabeast denied lol

we’re slouching towards armageddon

[Skuj]

Trump is surrounding himself with Yes Men. It's mind boggling.

Flynn, McMaster and Kelly were all Generals at one time, right? All looking for something rewarding post military? How's that working out? Everyone who comes into contact with Trump ends up smelling like shit.

The only thing that keeps me sane these days is that Trumpworld will come to an end one day. It might be 2024, 2020, maybe even earlier. But this will pass.

[!@#$%!]

yeah. we might all “pass” in a ball of hydrogen fusion at this rate

Appointing Bolton is a fucking nightmare. I'm not sure if he's a 'yes' man, he seems to have his own dangerous neo-con agenda to which Trump is saying yes. Which is war with Iran at all costs.

So, Victoria Toensing and her hubby won't represent Drump, who is now down to only 5'1" Jay Sekolow on his legal team....I remember Toensign as being right wing idiot, but couldn't remember the exact incidents....so, I looked her up on google....there, right next to "toenail fungus", was her bio. She was involved in the anti Clinton, both Bill&Hill, investigations, helped to cover up the outing of Valerie Plame during the Shrub admin, worked tirelessly for Newt Gingrich and also kept the Uranium 1 bullshit going....

Aaaaaaand, she worked for the presidential campaign of, get this, Fred Thomson

an ad for an attorney on Washington DC’s Craigslist.

The ad, which seeks a “lead attorney for a difficult client” located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington DC, says that it would be “a plus” for prospective applicants to have “working knowledge of social media, especially Twitter” and “better than average knowledge of the adult film industry and a collection of Playboy magazines from 1985-2010.

some kind of dumb joke - no United States law firm is ever going to put "no fatties" in recruitment ad.

instead of actually going out and doing the nuts and bolts drudge work of political organizing, the "resistance" is now spending all its time obsessing over Trump's sex life from 10 years ago.

[evollove]

Hardly.

Media outlets like MSNBC are running wild with story (which is a bigger story than just sex, you know), so I can see how someone could have that perception.

But the boots on the ground are doing more important things. Nuts and bolts aplenty, I assure you.

sure, there may have been some threats, and the money grubbing whore, etc, but its some odd distraction in light of the major and serious situations being put into place - I never thought I'd end up living with a media shamelessly worst than the Soviet Union's -

Right on schedule, a black man (Stephon Clark) gets shot by the police, and the cops didn't even plant a drop gun! So people will be distracted by that for awhile...

Do you think the cops did a sting ray scan of the area beforehand and his name came up, and with his criminal history he came up on their computer and they just went ready to kill

Trump and Pruitt set to TRY to remove cafe standards and cleaner car exhaust rules. MAGA? Hardly.....California set to fight it, go Becerra!

I'm such a stupid fuck. When Obama proposed lowering emissions by a certain amount by such-and-such a date, it wasn't good enough for me and I complained. SORRY!

I'm not sure how to read this or what it has to do with what I wrote.

Voter reg drives, circulating a petition to end gerrymandering, letter to the editor campaigns, lending a hand to progressive candidates, etc... I'm saying stuff like this is going on behind the scenes, which doesn't get any coverage because no tits or guns are involved. But it's happening.

So yes, there are "progressives" who show up for huge rallies and express indignation at this or that on social media and otherwise do nothing, all the while ignoring much bigger issues.

But there's a much smaller group of people doing a hell of a lot of practical, slightly boring but hopefully effective resisting. No one hears about it. Nor should they, really. It's the results that matter.

I don't know. Sounds pretty good for some people. A few people. Okay, very few people. Still.

Gotta admit, that's some brilliant evil shit there. I'm tempted to tip my hat.

how did that george carlin routine used to go? “cancer is good for the economy!”
it adds to the gdp.
