Trump Wakes Up, Details Imaginary North Korea War, MS-13 ‘Infestation’, Obama’s ‘Big, Bad’ Iran Citizenship Plot
Trump's getting crazier every week. It feels like he is on a highway driving against the traffic and is pushing the gas pedal. All the cars are moving to the shoulders to avoid confusion, but there's bound to be a truck which won't be able to get out of the way quickly.
That's from a brief conversation I had on Monday evening with someone who is a lot smarter than I am when it comes to both markets and politics and it paints a hilariously apt picture.
In a lot of respects, geopolitics is the s
“Trump’s getting crazier every week. It feels like he is on a highway driving against the traffic and is pushing the gas pedal. All the cars are moving to the shoulders to avoid confusion, but there’s bound to be a truck which won’t be able to get out of the way quickly.”
The truck?
It’s a ceiling.
It’s a wall.
It’s a sinkhole.
All such things, forces or people like Destructo come to an end and not by “its” own choice.
In Buddhist terms it’s known as Annica: the belief that all things, including the self, are impermanent and constantly changing; literally: impermanent. And so it shall be with him. He’s a flash in the pan. Concededly, his flash has done considerable damage. But as quickly as he appeared that how quickly the flash will cease when he hits his ceiling or wall or sinkhole.
And it will happen sooner than you expect and but not as soon as you wish.
For a clear-eyed explanation of how we got here, I highly recommend Adam Curtis’ “HyperNormalisation” documentary on YouTube.

A.I. — I went to youtube and checked it out — scrolling thru the choices to watch, I see most are 2 to 3 hours in length! Cannot do that BUT I did come across one – I pasted it above – about 11 min and easy to do – very interesting and time flew! It seemed to have the full story of how/why America let this happen, how it happened; even with comments from Putin and the 2011 Seth Meyers podium bit and trump never cracked a smile.
The scene with the small angry group ranting in the street, especially the tattooed jerk-wad was the beginning of the growing trump base. The primary campaign of trump and all the garbage he spewed – the purpose was to build that base – it is said in this piece that “angry people click” and his base grew and lead to his winning the primary – which set it all up as we have now.
It is true that ANGRY PEOPLE CLICK and I expect that will come back to haunt this prick. I do believe that now there are far more angry people that really hate him. We already see the awful growth of hate and the division it is causing and I absolutely believe his supporters will be the losers.
VOTE!
Murphy,
That was a nice find. I still have to go back and re-watch the full doc because there is so much info in there. Unfortunately, I have come to the cynical conclusion that people are just “fucking stupid” and we are now an “idiocracy”. I don’t know what to do about it. I guess our only hope is that the 60% who aren’t total idiots will vote this disgusting piece of narcissistic shit out of our lives soon.
I can add another ‘how this happened’ … the huge overwhelming majority of The United States have faith in our country, accept and appreciate our freedoms, have had only a couple of small (in comparison!) ripples in our leadership, are compassionate and intelligent population … so we never even considered it a possibility that disgusting human had a chance to win, not even the primaries. I’m not sure who would have taken that prize even if dimwit was not among them!
So, millions of intelligent compassionate free people did not get off the couch. Why bother, it was clear that goon would never win – it was obvious he is fucking stupid! By the end of the primaries he had established enough of a base and all their equally malcontents and it was growing – more of them and all believing his lies during the campaign.
Not to mention the non-stop media blitz due to his incredibly unbalanced rallies and never-before-seen treatment of voting citizens who came to see the circus. Next lesson will be on the Electoral College!
I believe we have all learned about the slim that lives under the rocks. Do not pick them up and turn them over again.
oops — slime
Insanity is contagious right now, all the slime are coming out from under the rock that have hid them lo these many years. Vote, people vote.
