Trump Is a . . . Agent – Moon of Alabama

March 29, 2017

Trump Is a . . . Agent

Everyone agrees that Trump is an agent. But who's agent is he? Thousands of words have been spilled discussing the issue. The opinions differ:

The question seems to be difficult. Luckily we have have the paper of record and its eminent next-six-months columnist Thomas Friedman who finally provides the clear and banal answer:

Trump Is a Chinese Agent

I though you would like to know that … it is preposterous nonsense. But what else could one expect from Friedman.

More seriously. My impression is that there is only one person for whom Donald Trump is willing to act as an agent. That person is Donald Trump.

So the person Trump works for is not very knowledgeable, not very smart and not very likeable.

I would have been nice if the U.S. electorate had had a chance to vote for a better one. But that was – unfortunately – not the case. The result has to be accepted. Fighting it is useless. The war on issues has begun.

Could someone go and tell the Democrats?

Everything he’s done since the election has been to the benefit of the worst swamp monsters around – arms companies, health insurers, Goldman Sachs, and the coal and oil companies.

They don’t “own” him, not in the way Clinton would have been by Wall Street. If you’re up for a fight, you take only as many as you can handle in one go – so maybe he’s suckering certain very powerful groups into thinking that he’s no threat to their interests. We shall have to wait and see.

Hello! The shoe is about to drop.

Nah, I don’t think so. What evidence do they have on him? Not much. So this is one of two things, either a warning to Trump to help him out, if there is evidence or he’s trying to sucker whichever intelligence committee ends up questioning him because there is no evidence but the Democrats are gagging for any evidence there is.
Trump will remain as president once this little game is played out and it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump goes on to in a second term particularly since it’s more and more obvious the Clintonists are going to have another go.

@102
The Democrats would be bat-shit crazy to run Hillary again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the same result.
Won’t happen. It’s too humiliating.
Trump will not go on to a second term. Either of these scenarios will happen: he’ll abdicate, he’ll be impeached and best case scenario for him: he’ll be primaried.
This Presidency is an abject failure, his poll numbers are 32%, short of a miracle; he’s done.

Both parties are too corrupted to actually improve the situation. The candidates can say and sell any number of things during a campaign and that changes once they get into office. The bad part is they tend to be good politicians but not wise enough to bring good staff or support to solve the problems. And too many of the support staff like the status quo for bad reasons or their paycheck requires them to not understand the problem.
Two quotes from TV series Andromeda come to mind:
“Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it; those who fail to learn history correctly-why they are simply doomed.”
“Humans say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Why? Do they think there’s a shortage of bad ones?”
I was watching MSM news to at least get a feel for what the sheeple are being misled with … and to have answers for them. But it’s getting to be too much to withstand. So DVDs, old movies (DVD and online), and documentaries/video blogs are becoming the prefered video content. Last night I caught Silenced, the recent version about the attacks on free speech in this country. (Yes I caught it on Bezos’ Amazon Prime but I had already paid for it.) It is mostly interviews organized into subject sections. One review (@ pushingrubberdownhill) attacked it for not going far enough with details or being disorganized. True. But they admit there are nuggets there. Also true. For example colleges used to lead the way on free speech and opposing views but not anymore.

I didn’t mean good politicians as a good thing; I meant that as being good at being politicians, a different and negative mattter.

But the DNC and many Democrats still believe that the election was stolen from them by Comey and Putin. If Hillary Clinton stands for nomination in 2020, a lot of Democrats will vote for her because they still believe she can win and don’t accept that she never really stood a chance once Trump tied up the Republican nomination because of her stupid policies and dumb campaign. Only if the Democrats start to blame her for the loss will she not win the nomination if she stands, but almost 4 months after the general election the Democrats are still blaming Comey and Putin. Now tell me that the Democrats are not “bat-shit crazy”.

Yep. That’s what it’s about.
Very astute, btw.

And then there’s this little gem in the Guardian

The destruction of Hillary Clinton: sexism, Sanders and the millennial feminists
In this extract from her book, Susan Bordo asks how the most qualified candidate ever to run for president lost the seemingly unloseable election

The liberals will be creaming themselves over this for weeks.
