Apr 12, 2017

Blink, and you missed Trump's blistering, seamless transformation into a mainstream politician.

In the span of just a few hours, President Trump flipped to new positions on several core policy issues, backing off on no less than five repeated campaign promises.

In a WSJ interview and a subsequent press conference, Trump either shifted or completely reversed positions on a number of foreign and economic policy decisions, including the fate of the US Dollar, how to handle China and the future of the chair of the Federal Reserve...

Now comes the season when a dwindling number of Republicans try in vain to put lipstick on their pig, and a growing number say, 'I told you so'--eventually, even those who did support the pig.

Nixon the Champion of Law and Order. Reagan the Fiscal Conservative. The 'No New Taxes' Bush. The 'No Nation Building' Bush. Deja vu all over again.

When are we going to wise up and nominate the candidate the media publicizes the LEAST? Doesn't matter if the liberal media pretends to be conservative, a la Fox. Doesn't matter if they pretend to hate the guy. Doesn't matter who they say is and isn't 'electable'. When the liberal media gives a candidate constant coverage 24/7 on every channel, he's their boy.

The day we elect the candidate the media mafia refuses to even mention is the day we begin to reclaim our liberty. Will that day ever come?

Well, when you stop to think how stupid the average person is and how 50% of the rest are stupider, it's understandable how the media keeps people voting for those who are not going to help restore our liberty.

The roller coaster went off the tracks.

I'm a little sorry I can't go over to "the other place" and rub their collective Trumpaloon noses in this right now. But then I remind myself how much calmer I've been over the last 6 months.

You'd be disappointed. Tyranny Buzzard showed up just long enough to say she's a one issue TPP voter, but even so she's not completely happy (as if anyone thought for a second she's capable of happiness and good cheer). She tossed out a few insults, got pwned hard, sent Brian4Liberty in to post all the rules and regulations she just violated, and ran away. GoldHydrogenTwenty is saying he never had complete faith in the guy anyway. dannno and Mordan are both too dense to realize how stupid they look. Though even dannno backed off about the time he was bragging that Trump would still audit the Fed, and at that very moment news broke that Trump gave a shout-out to Yellin and declared the dollar too strong.

And everyone else, having dazzled Bryan with traffic numbers, and convinced him to destroy his own forum by banning several of its strongest mainstay stalwarts, have declared 'mission accomplished' and are long gone. And if they're not long gone, at least they're gone now. Only those four were stupid enough to show up on a day like that and take their well-deserved lumps.

It is somewhat amusing, though. One of the most popular bits of Trumpsplaining right now seems to be that The Great Alpha can't stand up to his own daughter. That's not his fault, though. Not his supporters' fault either. No one could have predicted it, not even the people who did predict it.

But your Happy Easter thread from last year got bumped...

Ha ha ha ha, it's a freaking circus right now, as it should be. The shit for brains that backed him as the better alternative are either pretending they didn't or acting like he still is.

To be honest, I'm guilty as well, I didn't think he would start dropping bombs at this rate.

Syria, Somalia, the Korean peninsula...

I think he wants to start WWIII. An attention whore's dream--be the guy who ended the world. His name will be cursed as long as there are tongues to curse it.

I was screeching (as much as anyone can screech from a keyboard) as loudly as I could from August 2015 until I triggered Bryan to finally ban me...but even I didn't think Trumpageddon would deteriorate this badly this quickly. acptulsa...thank you for the giggle :

That's priceless.
