February 28, 2019 at 6:53 pm #45639Dr. DParticipantLike I said, America is now a reality-free zone. You make a bad habit of only presenting substantiated public evidence. Nobody cares. True, false, it’s all the same now. It’s whatever I say and want to be true, if I’m caught, I do it again and am never discredited, forever and ever, for generations almighty, amen.
So when true and false are the same, theorem: false = true, what is that? Oh yes, #StarkRavingMadness, full, violent psychosis, self-referential #Narcissism, #Antilogos and incidentally anti-science, anti-evidence, and anti-law.
Order and reason can only return when things can be defined, their definitions don’t change depending on who you are, and a thing and its opposite are not the same, none of which are true at this time, practically anywhere in our borders, nor indeed wherever we tread worldwide.
So, running down, Cohen, a liar by occupation, and a proven liar who is going to jail for lying TO CONGRESS, says before Congress that Trump is a poopy-pants, and incidentally either cannot provide evidence of *anything* or openly exonerates Trump of virtually all wrongdoing. Yet this bombshell that both exonerates and hollows out Trump is the evidence that also proves it was all completely true. So a thing and its opposite are true in #Antilogos Land, #AntiLogos America? Yes. And those who partake of the poisoned chalise ACTUALLY THINK a thing and its opposite are true, and therefore evidence=non-evidence. Then the look up to the crowd with a confused expression wondering why the American people are not similarly convinced by their non-evidence, that is evidence, which isn’t evidence.
So long as much of the country is similarly psychotic, what would you suggest we do? I say we furious push to pass 100 bills that can never become laws, or if laws would never pass the Supreme Court then pass $100 Trillion dollar bills that will be green-powered by unicorn farts and rainbows. Why not? Certainly less harmful than what we’re doing at present.
Good news: you can’t have a civil war in this condition, as everyone is too self-important and psychotic to coordinate anything. Bad news: you’re living in a violent loony bin, and nothing sensible will ever function again.
February 28, 2019 at 6:53 pm #45640zerosumParticipant” there wasn’t even a there there.”
Too bad that people don’t understand numbers and math.
or
numbers don’t matter when you have already made up your mind.
( You know how it works – it doesn’t matter who is in power)
eg.
Which came first?July 18-19 2016, in which Stone allegedly said he had talked to Assange who told him WikiLeaks was going to release a big batch of Hillary-related mails.
July 25-28The DNC convention ,
July 22 the WikiLeaks release . Looks like a slam-dunk collusion story, right?
June 12 2016, Except that Assange had said 5 weeks earlier, that such a batch would be released.( sorry that I made it so obvious for those that are math challenged.)
February 28, 2019 at 6:56 pm #45641Dr. DParticipant…Including my grammar, apparently.
February 28, 2019 at 7:07 pm #45642zerosumParticipantCohen will be sent to jail because
Mr. Cohen repeatedly testified that he did not seek employment in the White House following President Trump’s election. This is demonstrably, materially, and intentionally false.
Oppps He will be there for something else…. lying
February 28, 2019 at 8:17 pm #45643rapierParticipantFebruary 28, 2019 at 10:28 pm #45645rapierParticipant“Collusion” is a McGuffin. It’s a misdirection as well. The simple story is far more common and seedy. Like a hand job in a strip mall massage parlor. Trump was motivated to make a buck, well several hundred million bucks for himself, by influence peddling. The influence in this case the policies of the United States of America. Not based upon any principal that has ever been stated by Trump or anyone near him. (I am and have been well prepared since before Trump to advance the ideas that our Russophobia since the fall of the USSR has been profoundly destructive) There were no principals involved. Just seedy money grubbing. A sort of ultimate betrayal of Democracy.
There is nothing fancy or meta about the whole affair. It was all a figurative hand job for a fruitcake and a pig. Donald Trump.
February 28, 2019 at 11:41 pm #45647PlanetaryCitizenParticipantWhat’s always been just a little interesting to me is when Trump, during his campaign rally, called on Russia (if they are listening) to find the missing 30 thousand emails and not Wikileaks. Something “odd there” don’t you think?
March 1, 2019 at 3:08 am #45648V. ArnoldParticipantAny one who has held on to their sanity, surely sees the fantastical reality created by twisted people and their twisted ideals.
If that acurrate vision is the context from which the U.S. is framed; then its true health is obvious.
A sick society ruled by equally sick fascisti…
Record numbers of U.S. citizens are leaving for distant places they view as an improvement.
If in fact they find respite; it will likely not last, until and unless the U.S. is brought to ground.March 1, 2019 at 5:48 am #45649PlanetaryCitizenParticipantMy goodness! I don’t know! Chill pill, hand job! After all this vitriol I’m thinkin’ I’m needin’ somethin’ to get right with the world again. MAGA
March 1, 2019 at 7:19 am #45650toktomiParticipantIt appears to me that there is a grand operation in progress to jam all the media networks with massively contradictory misinformation and to ratchet up the public angst to stratospheric levels in preparation for something quite lovely not. The matrix is surely functional. Lies, lies, lies, lies; everywhere lies.
I have but one fundamental interest at this point; most of my other interests are insignificant and transitory. I for sure don’t give a damn about goofy national politics, although I had a passing interest in Cohen after his “surgery”. It seems to have remedied any possible serious thoughts that he may have had about being seriously nasty with any Trump dirt. My biggest interest is in the remote possibility of being able to sift from the endless barrage of public bs news a hint of a forewarning of lights out if indeed there will be a designed event to get the show on the road.
March 1, 2019 at 9:08 am #45651V. ArnoldParticipantMy goodness! I don’t know! Chill pill, hand job!
PlanetaryCitizenOh, you mean Prozac?
I guess tis the season for snowflakes, no?
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt…March 1, 2019 at 6:32 pm #45682PlanetaryCitizenParticipantOoh oweee, he called me a snowflake! Waaaa! First of all @ 70 I don’t take any prescription drugs, I don’t need them. But never mind that, it’s irrelevant.
I’m also not oblivious to the crass commercialism and the striving for material success that is the west and the U.S. in particular. I’m also not oblivious to the abuses of power that have dominated international relations among the so called colonial powers of the last several centuries. Unfortunately they are not alone. Ask the Manchurian’s, the Philippine Islander’s, the Burmese and other Pacific Islander’s how they enjoyed life under Japanese rule. Or ask the Tibetans (which for all intents and purposes doesn’t exist anymore) how life is for them under Chinese rule. Ask the Chinese how life is if you don’t have enough brownie points to be able to fly or take the train. Ask the Singaporeans how life is if you get caught chewing gum in public and what public caning is like. Ask what life is like for the untouchables in India and and the second class status of women there as well as the most of the greater Middle East. Ask Malala Yousafzai what happens if you are a girl and want to get an education in Pakistan. Or a woman what she thinks of honor killings for what ever reason some male putz in her family feels his precious ego has been wounded. Ask about what life expectancy is for journalists in Russia who criticize Putin and the oligarchy. Or what happens to people who run against them/him politically. Or what life is like there if you happen to be gay. Or what happens if you criticize the church like Pussy Riot. Believe me I can go on and on all over the globe.
This notion that the East is some shangri-la and the West is part and parcel to the 9 circles of hell… Sorry, but life for all too much of humanity is just one flavor or another of a shit sandwich and megalomaniacs aren’t in any short supply anywhere.
When it comes to criticizing the US I’ll go to the head of the line and I do so frequently, and I also do what is in my power to make things better (to the degree that I understand things), not just for the country I was born in and care about but for the planet and all life as a whole. And yes, I’ve no doubt that in the eyes of many that makes me a snowflake. But frankly, I just don’t give a damn. There are a great many people in the west and around the world trying to do the right thing and this reductionist antipathy that is so often exemplified in our relationships when we have different notions and biases is at the crux of the problem. I also don’t claim to be immune to the tendency.
Peace out!

@74 I take no prescription drugs either.
I see absolutely nothing to chill about.
To minimize the actions of the U.S. around the world by listing the wrongs of other countries/cultures is just ludicrous.
The U.S. is openly claiming to have the right to act with impunity towards the entire world; and frequntly does so; with the consequent deaths of millions of world citizens.
No other country in history can claim such outside of a world war; remember; there are no declared wars since WWII…March 2, 2019 at 5:56 am #45686PlanetaryCitizenParticipantI’m not minimizing the actions of the U.S. I find a great deal of what the government does in our name to be reprehensible as do a great many people I know. A great many of us make efforts to change it. Your comment about a sick society and equally sick fascisti is just what I said it was, reductionist antipathy and a gross mis-characterization of American society. Your constant refrain is how wonderful the east is and how awful the west is and you do it with a vehemence that is beginning to border on tedium and banality. The government is not the people and I take offence when someone tries to claim it’s so and lumping me and people I know in with the crimes of a government captured by corporate cabals and their greed.
March 3, 2019 at 11:55 am #45736WolfbayParticipantMaybe our presidents should actually follow the constitution they have sworn allegiance to. One example is Obama who claims to be a constitutional scholar. It’s almost comical if it wasn’t so sad. He allowed spying on millions of Americans without probable cause. He ordered the drone murder of two American citizens without due process. He started wars without a declaration of war from Congress.
He claimed to have the most transparent administration in history and this did turn out to be true but only because of Snowden.March 3, 2019 at 6:03 pm #45742toktomiParticipantDo you sincerely believe that a “President” has this kind of power or authority or indeed, any authority at all beyond the selection of the dinner china pattern?
Consider this possibility. There are scores of corporate titans with adequate financial assets and vested interests in presidential discretion that could have family members of any politician disappeared, and there are equal numbers of the global ruling cabal whose insane assets are not even kept in their names who could have the family members of the corporate titans disappeared. Does that sound like a possible scenario where a measly little millionaire would be allowed to swashbuckle his way through four or eight years of cheap celebrity?
May I suggest that we quit blaming the pissants for the deeds of those who hold the reins.
