    Thanks for the block quote, gets the truth out to more people.

    Also, thanks for the seething, foamy insult :) let's me know I'm over the target. The gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Aristocratic Complex is afraid of being found out and exposed for what it is, terrified of watching its lie narratives, false abstractions and dichotomies unwind, and especially fearful of a true populist, pan-ideological third party that will be its demise. That demise is just around the corner, your seething can't change a thing.

    Sorry to disappoint you: no seething nor foaming involved; maybe a slight amusement.

    Does "slight amusement" explain hyperbolic screeching like "your vacuous mind.. and paranoia?" If that's just amusement, I'd hate to be anywhere near your table at the comedy club.

    If Ivanka, Donny, and Eric were worried about life after the White House before, I bet they aren’t getting any sleep now.

    So long as Trump remains entertaining and 25-35% of this country remain stupid, Trump will retain influence in American politics.

    Have no reason to doubt

    Yes...I am aware of the term "elitist left" and the "you are...no, you are" finger pointing...
    But at least the Left wants to give back something....medical care, education, a cleaner environment.....
    Whereas the only thing that the Right will offer in return for your tax-payer dollars is an empty promise
    to defeat the the imaginary dragons in all the conspiracy theories that they created in the first place.
    Example....tRump said he would clean the swamp, instead he created his own
    and when the tax-payers cleaned up the swamp creatures for him....the tRump resurrected them.

    Your prophecy here is as good as any other....
    and your "Messiah" and "third party" may well be coming
    although I doubt it will be an improvement for humanity....
    but your not really interested in humanity..are you.

    Were they not "always wrong"?
    I guess not....haven't heard a single soul here admit to any lapse in judgement
    concerning the tRump.

    Since the left mounted a siege against Trump that has never let up since he announced he was running, and has supported that with an endless series of failed attacks and virtually never a recognition of what's been accomplished...

    Why the hell would anybody care what you think??

    Anybody with rational judgement reads the character of people who would do that very quickly- and knows better than to waste time talking reason with small, spoiled children.

    You mean like the "spoiled children" in this photo.....

    [​IMG]

    And these "spoiled boys".....
    Proud Boys
    The Proud Boys is a far-right, neo-fascist, and male-only political organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States and Canada. The group originated in the far-right Taki's Magazine in 2016 under the leadership of Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes, taking its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the 2011 Disney musical Aladdin.

    Central healthcare policy is likely to be a main plank of the coming third party, but it will have strings attached as it should. We already have free public secondary schools, inexpensive trades and general vocational training. Much of the products sold by academia today are the opposite of the abstraction "education." But, sure, an emergent party could also subsidize postsecondary STEM training for qualified students of merit. Grievance studies and other politics under the guise of social "sciences" or "liberal arts?" No, people who want those types of "educational" products need to pay for it themselves. Everyone wants clean air and water also, that there is some boogeybear class of people "on the other side" who want their children sick or dying from pollution is a common fallacy. Much Complex environmental advocacy is actually thinly-veiled lawyer and crony contractor/grantee enrichment in disguise. Were you fooled?

    Empty partisan rhetoric won't fly among the emerging party, will be revealed as the Complex manipulation it in fact is.


    The personal freedom and various individual rights of the Constitutional Republic led directly to electricity and all that bounty, your and my increased lifespan, drastically decreased infant/mother mortality, vastly decreased pollution, the supercomputer phone in your hand, this forum and 10000 other things that government had little or no hand in.

    Constitutional Republic is the best and most humane form of government ever devised, goes the furthest in terms of stability and equity among admittedly necessarily evil governing forms. So yes, I'm quite interested in humanity. Self-interested members of the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex would surely disagree because they are interested only in themselves and their factions, never common people, that's an increasingly transparent ruse. After all, they want to extract their wealth and power from the government gun barrel they point in our face instead of earning it like honest people.

    I appreciate the ideas you wrote here...I don't think they were a waste of your time.
    My only concern is that the culprits you are pointing the finger at may not be the actual demons...
    ...at least not all of them. And some of them may even be the ones that bring your prophecy to fruition.

    MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. Were you under the false belief that "Trump" was one of the 4 words that MAGA stands for?

    Yes, people always WERE wrong to support Trump. The Trumpist congress critters got their wakeup call yesterday. It seems it will take a lot more time for other Trumpists to get theirs.

    MAGA hats are the official tRumpist headgear....are you under the false belief they are not?
    I can provide plenty of tRumpist gathering photos if you like....
    or perhaps you are attempting to distance yourself from your failing cult.
    That is understandable.....

    It's been 4 years and the left still can't figure out that it's the policy issues that made Trump President. Trump had positions 180 degrees from almost all of the 16 other GOP primary candidates. Trump is out the door in two weeks one way or another, but those issues will remain.

    Yep. Can't win a primary without that 25%.
    But it may lead to even more disappointment for the MAGATS

    Thank you. We can certainly all agree that Trump has issues...and I doubt they will be going away soon.

    You guys have spent 4 years avoiding policy and concentrating on your Orange Man Bad outrage. I'm guessing that will continue.

    Spoiled children...

    The ones who call the events in DC yesterday a riot, although there was no looting, no burning of buildings, stores or cars, no throwing bricks at the police, and no approval by Trump or the republican leadership- which in fact across the board called for active prosecution and penalties. That, compared to the people who called the rioters, arsonists and looters in Minneapollis, Seattle, Portland and other places...
    "PEACEFUL PROTESTORS" makes a dramatic contrast of integrity. In those instances the police were held back, damn few arrested and fewer prosecuted- despite a billion dollars in damages and hundreds of national monuments attack and destroyed, and the democrats failed to notice most of it- and excused what they couldn't ignore.

    Strange that YOU fail to recognize the duplicity, the double standard, the "OK because I'm mad" kind of crap. I wonder how anyone can stomach that.

    Yes, stands for Make America Great Again.
    Fake News. Perfecting our Democracy is an ongoing task that we inherit from our folks and pass to our children.

    NO ENEMIES TO THE LEFT: Stephanopoulos Bristles When GOP Congressman Brings Up Fake Media’s Role in Angry Mob.

    [​IMG]
    GOP congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) witnessed the shooting and spoke to George Stephanopoulos about the events of yesterday during the first hour of GMA, Thursday morning. Mullin spoke at length about witnessing people trying to break into the House chamber, he condemned their violent actions and praised the Capitol police for how they handled the situation. That’s when Stephanopoulos encouraged him to attack Trump, but Mullin argued that every individual there was responsible for their own actions:
    And the Congressman is correct.

    The only thing Republicans have to celebrate is that Dems will have complete control of the Federal government for the next 2-4 years.
