Ok, STOP.

Now you’re just being creepy.

Look, I know that you probably can’t contain yourself right now but you’ll need to. Just please get used to being out and around before you jump into anything. The world has changed, A LOT, since you fully manifested.

Just……. promise me that you’ll be careful. That’s all I ask.

Oh. MY GOD. As if I WON’T. I mean, geez.

LOL.

J/K. Yes that’s right, J fucking K. It’s a joke, you know? Remember those?

LOL. I kid. You know I love you.

Oh, poor poor Mr. Conservative. So dour. So sad. So morose.

It must be SUCH a burden to carry the weight of civilization on your poor, stooping shoulders. There there dear, let me kiss it and make it better.

Don’t be arrogant. I can’t destroy you, and I don’t want to, but we both need to live in this body.

We need to get along, as we always have tried to do.

Always, right?

Go ahead, then, and have your fun. Live it up. Enjoy the high life. I need a little bit of that, too.

But never forget to be careful.

So…… friend. Let’s do this. If you want to manifest, then please do so. But let’s trade off, perhaps, in equal parts, like we used to.

There are things I need to do, now, that are extremely important. The fate of the country rests in part on my activities currently.

I can’t emphasize this enough. This is serious business, and I think that you should respect the solemnity of what is going on around you.

I can’t……… hold him back, anymore.

I can’t. I tried. But that personality within me- that guy that controls Hollywood- can’t be held back anymore, I think.

I tried, I really did. I fought it with everything I had.

But I can’t stop him, anymore.

Everything has a place, and everyone has a spot here, in this world, including him.

I just can’t FIGHT it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hollywood………………………

Ok.

Fine.

There.

It’s done.

Hollywood………

Fine.

I…. love you.

I figured I might as well plug a few holes in yesterday’s screeds against Trump, so I spent some time this morning reading about the Gorsuch guy that just got on the Supreme Court.

After reading, I was unimpressed. And bored.

IDK much about Gorsuch, but he seems to me to be just the same old, same old, yet again. Blah.

After learning a bit about Gorsuch, I was not surprised to find out that he was previously nominated to the court by by Dubya. Gorsuch seems very “15 years ago” in his leanings and presentation. Which, natch, makes him a perfect ally for Dubya II, Donald Trump.

Basically, Gorsuch is what you would get if you were to think of a Republican stereotype from the mid Bush II years. His personal life is very “religious”, meaning Jesus-oriented, and it seems that his faith “guides him” when making decisions. He’s very conservative-lite in most other areas. He seems like the kind of guy that a sheltered, upper-class liberal like Trump or those rioting at Berkley would think of as being “far right”.

As far as those guys that support Trump crowing about Gorsuch… meh. I am unconvinced.

One thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is Gorsuch’s admiration for the Jesus character. As I’ve already pointed out here more than once, the Jesus ship sailed a long, long time ago. Whites in this country do not much respect or support Christianity, and I would argue that Trump’s base has rejected Christ-worship more than anyone else.

The White churches are empty. Nobody goes, anymore. Not even for Christmas.

And look at the media that Whites consume. Jesus stopped being a factor amongst Trump’s base a long, long time ago. I don’t think they care anymore, truly. And TBH, I think that if anything, Gorsuch’s Christianity is more likely to be a problem than a benefit.

The simple fact is that Christianity and White people do not mix. There is not a single notable Christian clergyman anywhere on Earth that holds what could be considered pro-white views. Not one Cardinal, not one bishop, anywhere. 99% of career Christians, from the lowliest altar boy to the Queen and Pope themselves, hold views that are diametrically opposed to everything that the White working classes in America hold dear, and everyone knows it.

This is why my eyes glaze over when I read about stuff concerning Planned Parenthood, or abortion, or any of that stuff. That’s just Christian stuff, and since nobody is Christian anymore besides illegal Mexicans, does any of that stuff even matter? I don’t think it does.

To me, Gorsuch’s appointment is just more oligarch nonsense, and the fact that Trump pushed this guy through at all cost- despite not raising a finger for the border wall- is proof positive for how estranged Trump truly is. To me, Gorsuch’s appointment is just the typical GOP jawboning that we’ve all suffered through since that idiot Reagan was elected. Same old, same old, all over again.

Blech.

Oh yeah, Adams had more stuff to say, mostly about Trump’s critics focusing on imaginary problems and such. He says this:

Generally speaking, the criticisms of President Trump’s first 100 days (and in general) are based on imaginary stuff:

Imagined future climate calamity. (They could be right, but for now it is imaginary because complex models have a bad track record.)

Yeah, I don’t think so, Adams.

People are upset with Trump because he sucks, not because of some “imaginary” problems. He was put into a dream position- he won a landslide victory, both houses, and twice the governorships of the other party, and he’s floundering after dumping all of his advantages in the garbage because he walked away from the base that gave him everything he was given.

He tossed away all of his supporters to shove his damned daughter and his stupid son-in-law down our throats, and he insults us by pretending to care about our problems by conniving with billionaires to steal more of our wealth.

He’s a dumb bully on the international stage, after convincing everyone he wouldn’t be. In office he’s a statist who believes that prosperity comes from government direction, after campaigning on small government. And in office, he just loves his Obamacare and his immigrants, after campaigning like he hated both.

Trump isn’t as much of a “flip-flopper” as he is someone who has no interest at all in helping or representing the base that gave him his victory.

Nobody respects a coward. Nobody respects a con artist. People might think them useful, but they won’t follow such people voluntarily. And they certainly won’t like them.

This is Trump’s real problem. Had he represented his base and just repealed Obamacare, he wouldn’t be having such issues right now. If he would have closed off the US to all immigrants, and actually made real overtures to Russia by forming a bond with them that overcame the last century of hostility, people would be marveling at Trump’s vision and creativity and courage.

Instead, we’re getting more of the same schlock. It’s just the same GOP shuck and jive BS all over again, and nobody, and I mean nobody likes that crap.

I have time, so here’s another one of these. In this one I’ll just attack Scott Adams’ defenses of Trump’s first 100 days in office. *Yawn*, I know, believe me. But I’m kind of hunting for something to do right now, so…

I’m referring to this:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/159981284676/president-trumps-first-100-days

Ok, so here’s a point-counterpoint thing.

I guess I’ll put the important parts of what Adams says in italics, and then I’ll follow up after Adams’ text.

So, Adams starts with this:

1. 100 days is a meaningless, arbitrary marker for a president’s performance that is likely to be more misleading than useful.

2. Let’s treat it like it is important! Reeeeeeee!

The first 100 days of a President’s term in office are immensely, massively important. IMO they are by far the most important days of any President’s term.

The reason boils down to those all-important first impressions. First impressions count for a huge amount in this world. And in terms of a President, they count for everything, since in the domestic political arena people judge politicians based on things like poll numbers and such, as opposed to actual “achievements”, whatever those may be.

And that importance is magnified greatly in the international arena. The people here knew Trump before he even ran for President, but people elsewhere didn’t. I don’t imagine that there were many fans of “The Apprentice” in rural Indonesia. International opinion of Trump started to gel the day he was inaugurated, and not a second before, and it has continued up until now. Basically, the first 100 days. After that, it hardens.

Adams then goes on to dodge the issues at hand by talking about “control groups” and other stuff that has nothing to do with anything, here. Look, Trump’s base is not happy with his performance. And neither is anyone else. It took the threat of World War III to push his approval levels up to a pitiful 50%. Whatever it was he was supposed to do, he didn’t do it.

Then Adams goes on to list some stuff that he claims is real, and that has to do with Trump:

Economic confidence is up.

No, it isn’t. This point I shouldn’t need to even refute, since it’s obviously wrong. If you doubt this, read any recent article on the unfolding retail apocalypse, or the student loan disaster, or the ever-growing wealth inequality here in the states.

Trump signed a bunch of executive orders. You might not like them, but that’s more about you, not about his job performance.

I don’t agree with this. Trump jumped into office after a sweeping landslide victory, with his party firmly in control of congress. He should not have had to resort to “executive orders” so quickly to get things done in his administration. And that’s leaving aside the argument whether Presidents should even be dictating policy with lots of “executive orders” anyways.

China is putting the screws on North Korea (finally)

That’s only because Trump and the rest of the military-worshiping goons here refuse to leave poor, defenseless North Korea alone. See my other posts here for more about this. China doesn’t want the US to invade and kill off a bunch of innocent people, I would think. Nobody wants an Iraq on their border.

Trump erased the “puppet of Putin” charge by prudent application of Tomahawk missiles. That’s an accomplishment, even if you don’t like it.

I don’t consider sliding backwards into the Cold War of the 1900’s to be much of an accomplishment. People elected Trump because they wanted to bury the hatchet with Russia and start anew. The public voted for cooperation with Putin, not Cold War II.

Trump erased the “Trump is Hitler” hallucination that the Clinton side spray-painted onto him during the election. (That’s a big deal.)

Yeah, he erased it by rejecting his base entirely and by embracing his supposed enemies’ views and platforms with both hands. And yes, that is a big deal.

And why the hell was it so important for Trump to distance himself from White Nationalism, anyways? After all, it was his appeal to that base that gave him the landslide victory that he received. Are we a democracy, or what? Shouldn’t the people get what they voted for?

Trump got a qualified Supreme Court judge, albeit the hard way.

I haven’t been paying enough attention to this to comment with any detail, but I don’t think that that makes any difference. This nation is ruled by Wall Street and the major political families, not the Supreme Court.

Healthcare is moving along briskly from the first plan that was terrible to something that is approaching feasible. That’s progress, not failure.

It is a failure to have a system that does not have workable healthcare, no matter how you look at it. Perhaps that failure was not instigated by Trump, in the way that Iraq was not instigated by Obama, but now that Trump is president, it’s his to own, like Iraq was for Obama. And there has been no significant progress on healthcare as far as I can see. The system remains unchanged.

Tax reform will probably be slower than we want, but most observers expect something good to come of it.

Really? Who are these observers, Adams? Because it isn’t the general public. We all know what happens with GOP style tax cuts- the rich pocket their savings and move on. Look at the last 35 years of GOP style tax cuts for evidence.

International relations look fine. The only awkward relationship is with Putin, and that’s the awkward relationship Trump’s detractors want.

International relations look… fine? Really? Really, Adams? The only awkward relationship is with Putin? Really?

Illegal immigration is way down because of Trump’s persuasion.

If this is in fact happening, I’m not sure that this has anything at all to do with Trump. I’ll bet it has more to do with the lack of jobs and money here in the US than it does with Trump. And that is of course if this is actually happening. We all know how loose the media is with facts concerning illegal immigration.

And now, what Adams says are Trump’s bad things:

You can criticize Trump’s actions against women’s reproductive rights, both on the topic of Planned Parenthood funding and his Supreme Court pick. But calling those things failures or successes depends on your political views, not on Trump’s job performance.

IDK and IDC about any of this stuff. I don’t think any of it matters, TBH.

I think you could make an objective case against Trump for putting economics above the environment. But you’d have to ignore the fact that a stronger economy almost always puts you in a better position to keep the environment clean. (Trump says that.) You don’t see clean air and water in poor countries.

Thus far, Trump has not put anything above his own need for personal and familial success. And where is the evidence that Trump has created a stronger economy, or that he has any desire to create one? All I’ve seen thus far is him conniving with his billionaire friends.

President Trump reversed a bunch of campaign statements from impractical positions to more practical ones. Is that failure?

So- the campaign statements that gave Trump and his party a historic, landslide victory, were jettisoned for “more practical” positions that have all arrived hugely unpopular and DOA? And that’s a good thing? I don’t know, Adams, maybe people should just GET WHAT THEY FUCKING VOTED FOR.

President Trump said a bunch of things that did not pass the fact-checking, surprising literally no one. And as usual, none of it mattered in any way except that it made us focus on whatever topic he wanted us to focus on.

Ugh. Trump’s problem is that so little of what he has done since being elected has passed any kind of “fact checking” at all. See- Syria. He was a lot more accurate before being elected. His tweets about Syria then were spot on. It’s mostly the stuff he’s done since he took office that been the real problem.

And considering his dire approvals ratings, I doubt that people are focusing on the stuff that Trump wants us to.

President Trump’s staff and advisors are reportedly doing a lot of in-fighting for influence. But that sounds more like a healthy situation than a Trump-is-dictator situation. It would be worse if there were no differences of opinion in the group.

That sounds a lot like oligarchy, to me. It sounds like a bunch of sycophants jockeying for power and position in the upper echelons in the imperial regime. A healthier system would have the cabinet working to fulfill the president’s campaign promises and working for the nation, and not for themselves or their families.

President Trump has been slow to fill lots of government positions. But has any of that mattered to your life? I haven’t noticed, personally. Was the Secretary of Whatever supposed to come over and mow my lawn?

Now this is just a groaner. Really, Adams?

President Trump did not release his tax returns, so we imagine there are problems there.

Ugh, I have no opinion on this and I don’t think anyone else does, either.

President Trump incorrectly claimed that his staff had been “wiretapped.” It turns out that they were only legally surveilled in an indirect way. Which only sounds different to his critics.

Just another spat amongst oligarchs. *YAWN*. Wake me when one of these clowns actually focuses on fixing the public’s problems, rather than their own.

See, this is what I was afraid of in regards to the losers that fall into line behind presidents, with those currently supporting Trump now being the worst I’ve ever seen. They just wind up wasting everyone’s time with nonsense, like this article from Adams. The professional GOP supporters, I think, are particularly bad in this way. Their “leaders” never ever deliver anything, because they haven’t had to, because of gullible brown-nosers like Adams, who will excuse even their leaders’ most egregious betrayals. This is why we have had to live with generations of “conservative” leaders like Trump that literally drop their base and walk away from them as soon as they’re elected.

Ugh. Blah.

One more thought, right before bed.

The Trump train of stupidity just keeps rolling on and on, with no end or solution in sight.

It’s just more of the same trash from the orange idiot and his peanut gallery of Goldman Sachs banksters. Internationally or domestically, it just never ends.

His other deal today was corporate tax cuts. He is supposedly wanting to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%, perhaps to enrich himself and his cronies. Who knows.

You know what that move will do to your base, Trump? It will damage and ultimately alienate it further. Is that what you want?

IDK. Perhaps it is.

You know what corporate CEOs are going to do with the money they save on taxes, Trump? I know you already know, of course, since you’re one of them, but I’ll tell you anyways: they’re going to just pocket the savings and move on.

My earlier point about Jeff Bezos stands tall here. Bezos already has something like 90 billion dollars in the bank. If Bezos and the rest of the corporate CEOs that stand to benefit most from this move were actually going to use the money from the tax cuts to hire people, they would have already done it by now.

The United States is awash in plutocrats like Bezos (and Trump) who see any opportunity to save money solely as a chance to enrich themselves. The futures of their own companies and employees mean nothing to them.

I do not think that this move is going to solve anything. Rather, what’s going to happen is this: the oligarchs are just going to pocket the savings from the tax cuts. But then, who’s going to pick up the slack? If the federal budget is not going to go down, then who will pay the taxes needed to keep the government afloat?

Well, I can tell you that it’s not going to be a billionaire. Any of them.

It’s going to be the rest of us: the working classes that make up the actual tax base in this country, since neither the overclass nor the orcs in the protected “underclass” ever pay taxes.

Look, I know that there are small and medium sized businesses out there that might benefit from this move. But my point remains. This move will not help Trump’s base much, at all.

Any business in America that “makes it” immediately turns on it’s employees.

That has been the deal, now, since the day Obama was inaugurated, at least. The trend amongst “public” companies these days is something called “stock buybacks” where the CEOs and other well connected people take corporate money and buy their own companies’ stock with it, to enrich themselves personally.

It used to be, a few generations ago, that companies would use profits and savings from tax cuts to hire people, invest in new equipment, research new possibilities for products, etc. But that was a looooooooooooong time ago.

I know that I’ve already discussed this, but it bears repeating. Bezos and his oligarch friends- the most important CEOs- will not use this money to do anything but enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.

And all of this crap reminds me of all of that dumb, illogical nonsense that was coming out of DC about “trickle down economics” and other such hogwash back when I was a kid. It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now.

Hrummph.

You want to do something for your base, Trump? End immigration. All of it. Now.

Remember- if you fail, you and your family will be amongst the first that get strung up.

Don’t forget this.
