Trump said he wanted to “see a tremendous victory” in the November election, “’cause it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high.”

“It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” he continued. “They can take out a city, let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.”

The crowd cheered.

      He’s really nothing though. He’s just distraction and muppet, a fall guy and patsy.

      Look how weak and lame he made America. It’s as if feds don’t care. Which makes me wonder if there’s something bigger going on. It almost feels like the kind of coups USA create in other nations.

      People spend time hating on trump and acting like voting will change things but I think what we are seeing is American Cultures true colors.

      Once feds finish using trump, they will have a perfectly packaged, focus grouped democrat ready to come save they day. One that’s been born from all the psychological studying of society and demographics, one that looks like change, but in the end it will be another lie.

      They will again manipulate citizens emotions and promote hope and change, but in the end both trump and the next guy are just avatars for the feds to use. And they use the left and right as needed, when needed, for whatever objective suits them.

      Like it’s actually looking like our life as Americans is really a lie. And that we are getting played out and suckered at a level that is truly evil. The narration of humanity is theirs to own apparently, and they distilled and severed genuinism and truth from their citizens. People want change and truth but it will never come through via the system that owns our humanity.

        Look up the Powell Memo. There has been a 50 year project to dismantle government oversight of business with the aim of maximizing profits and externalizing costs and we are near its conclusion. Primarily the work of this project has been done by judges hand-picked for their ideological commitment, often through the Federalist Society. A good, more recent example is when Obama attempted to increase the salary cutoff where employers must pay overtime wages from $23k to $46k per year. Employers would just call their employees managers and get around the Davis Bacon Act and not have to pay OT to people making over $23k, even if those people were doing work that would otherwise be wage labor. A business lobbying group challenged the rule and found a federal judge in East Bumfuck, Texas who put a hold on it, and then it was killed by Trump. Democrats have effectively been controlled (via the judiciary) opposition since the 90s, but I have some hope that there are more Democrats coming up who understand what needs to be done. There is power in Congress and the White House to do something about all this, Democrats just need to wield it as freely as the Republicans do when they take power. The Biden administration was actually decent at this stuff. It’s a shame he was senile by the end and too proud to give up power to another Democrat that would have stood a chance, until it was way too late, anyway.

        Can’t argue with that really. And I happen to live in California and what he is saying whether it’s just negligence or not is just absolutely insane

        I’m worried that this is theater to distract from some looming disaster such as the climate being so fucked that it’s beyond saving and human kind only has a few more years before we all die.

          My take is that it’s about building datacenter infrastructure for surveillance and ai profiling… Basically moderning the foundation of society and turning the base foundation digital vs the current foundation that is analog. Also for war.

          Ai is kind of like a nuclear arms race globally. And citizens don’t really want it, but for the nation it’s a huge deal in terms national control and global war and digital security and progress. To me it makes sense they would make it an objective, and understand sacrifices will be made in order to reach the objective. I think once the objective is reached, they will give us some politician to save the day and make it look like the whole thing was a natural occurence.

          I think that ice is being built up in corallation with the data centers and ai, because ice will be used to combat any social disruption. Why? Because if they use cops and military to combat a possible social outrage bigger than 2020 riots, than the police and military might start to fracture into a real civil war and true collapse. So it’s like ice is the fall guy on the brute force side of things and then we have political falls guys like Trump and other politicians and people that are getting played out and manipulated like chess pawns.

          Marketing and psychology owns humanity. Left right or center. It’s almost to be on the path of truth and nature’s true humanity. You are only allowed to live on the life path of what’s dictated and indoctrinated by “man”.

          Edit… Also could be what you said that is a cause… They know we are going to die, so they have a plan to purge and reduce population or control it more to give the nation and wealthy a higher survival rate.

      I think he’s trying to drum up enough public support to be able to nuke Iran. That’s the “we’ll finish it soon no matter what” thing.

      He’s a mad king and must be stopped at all costs at this point.

        And as Trump is being forcefully taken to the execution chamber, he’ll shout:

        “Enjoy the nuclear winter assholes! You’re all coming with me!”

          He’s not leaving the White House alive. I believe that in my bones. He’s not going to leave power. Nick Offerman played it well.
