Everybody.. let’s leave the derogative talk aside.
I’m critical of both Trump and Biden. If one so chooses, they can fact check Donald Trump and Biden and come to their own conclusions. Both have records that are dubious. Both say things that are inaccurate and flat out lies. What I detect as I read various comments on social media, by friends .et al. is the repeating of what I hear on FOX and CNN and that’s not good. Both are terrible at spreading bias and incomplete facts, protecting the viewer from the option to weigh in. It takes effort to really get to the bottom of what is accurate .vs propaganda.
Trump supporters believe in Trump. Biden supporters seem to not believe in Trump and that’s it. Belief systems, or for those who say “because I believe it, that’s why” is a faith-driven mindset. A purely American luxury. It’s a right. Freedom of religion. The freedom to believe comes with a higher responsibility. I believe in very little, but I also check and verify what I believe in. I have literally spent most of my life around liars, drug addicts, thieves. I’ve had some close calls with people who, had I “believed” in them or our collective social dynamic, I could have ended up in jail. Those days are long gone but they had a very profound impact and have allowed me and many others who have survived a sociopathic experience to acquire the acumen to spot a liar. Not everyone is exposed to characters in society that literally thrive upon the demise of others. I did. I’m not a very trusting person and that’s on me. I own that. Not everyone should be judged the way I judge. It’s a flaw. If you spend your life being lied to, then discovering those lies, then being taken advantage of by those you love… the trauma impacts perception. So, an almost obsession with truth and fact-finding ensues. It’s a control issue. I told my son when he was just a little guy to ignore “Santa Clause” because it’s a trick. I didn’t want him to experience the sheer disappointment I, as a child, experienced upon discovering… there are no flying reindeer. What are people thinking? Especially when some go to the effort of collecting donkey shit and then spreading it around the yard, then running around on the roof, then gathering up the kids and saying “He’s here! He’s Here!”…. that is messed up and cruel.
Faith is a very, very powerful method of thinking. Christopher Columbus didn’t sail based on the accuracy of facts, he did it using ships, a sexton, and faith. Faith is a version of inspired thinking, yet it isn’t critical thinking and it isn’t accurate.
I hear Trump supporters tell me the reason they support him is because “it’s what they believe”. After I try to share the litmus of inequity and the broad swath of lies and manipulation that isn’t conjectured, all of it easily digestible… the reply I get when asking “What merit does Trump have?” and the answer 100% of the time is “it’s what I believe”.
It takes faith to believe in Donald Trump.
Critical thinking yields a president who is disordered, but not necessarily the wrong choice for a president given the choices.
Trump’s tax cuts were a big help to the people of this country. His policy of boosting manufacturing in the USA is a welcome direction .vs the shipping of jobs overseas that has a depressing impact on our countries dependency on foreign trade.
My republican friends who did vote for Trump all agree, life would have been far better, the virus would have been managed better without Trump. They are all convinced Biden is an equally bad choice. So, they simply vote their party line and cast caution to the wind. I’ll go into this further down.
Many Republicans believe there is a deep-state comprised of child-sex-trafficking democrats and although there is zero evidence, the idea becomes fact because a “perceived” authority says it’s so. The suggestive power of the Presidency can allow people to believe anything and Trump knows it. If voting is corrupt and he says so, then it must be. America is purely driven by “belief”.
I recently asked a Facebook friend who claimed there was proof Hunter Biden left a laptop at a repair shop what her source was. She had proof Hunter Biden did in fact leave a water damaged laptop at a repair shop. He might have. He’s a disordered drug addict. Addicts are incomptent. All addicts lie. Recovering addicts should be given a chance to redeem themselves. Expect them to fail once or 5 times. But I digress. I had been trying to figure Bidens Laptop Conspiracy out and all my sources were inconclusive. So I was very interested in what she knew. I thought there was some news I didn’t hear about. Upon asking her, her answer was “Read the emails from the computer! That’s your proof!!”… Think about that for a moment. She insisted those emails are proof. Short of a longer explanation, I’ll just add that I have some plaster-of-paris molds I made while hiking in the Trinity Alpes years ago… of what can be considered the footprints of Big Foot. The footprints were spectacular and obvious. Found in remote country, I returned a couple of days later to pour molds of the prints. They are very mysterious and I still find the casts amazing and suggestive but they are in no way proof Big Foot actually made those prints. My plaster of paris footprint molds are the equivalent of Hunters emails and his receipts. I know as a fact, people enjoy throwing on wooden cut-outs of big feet and will trample through the mud in order to keep the mystery alive. Big Foot is a huge draw for tourist towns in the emerald triangle. The people running around the forest with wooden big feet hope to stimulate news reports. It works. Big Foot is in the news regularly along HWY 299. People see him/big-foot all the time. I love the imagination! The caviat is we know the Bidens have a history with Russia and the transfer of funds. The is nothing inherently wrong with doing business abroad and making a tremendous amount of money along the way. Once we start speculating though, that’s when Big Foot enters the story. Lots of people have very good reasons to believe in Big Foot. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence. I don’t “believe” in Big Foot because I have no reason to. But, I can entertain the possibility. Same with Hunter Biden’s laptop. For the time being, speculation is wasting my time and yours.
The plaster molds suggest a conclusion but are not conclusive. Her rationale that a signature, a laptop, and emails are proof troubled me as I am certain she will believe anything. That flaw in reasoning is more than just a personal issue, it’s a national security threat. Russians, Chinese, any country can mount a social media campaign targeting Americans in an effort to deeply subjugate. Very worrisome. Very doable. Donald Trump got elected, so anything is possible going to 2021.
The FBI will hopefully provide an explanation of their findings. The FBI operates independently of the President. They did release a warning/special report over a week ago, coinciding with the revived conspiracy surrounding Hunter Biden, warning America that Russia is in fact actively medaling with the election. It’s not a far flung idea to connect the dots between an obsessed Donald Trump and his history and the manifestation of a laptop that is being kept under wraps. I suspect there is a national security situation involved and we will hear more soon enough.
At this time, it’s pure conjecture regarding Hunter Biden. For it to be true, it requires faith and in this context, that form of thought is what allowed OJ Simpson to go free. Scientific Evidence .vs belief. Belief almost always comes out first due to its convenience, it’s easier to grasp and doesn’t compete with bias. Mans erratic self-representation is our greatest gift and our uttermost repulsive flaw.
I am against internet based evidence because it can be manufactured to frame you me, your family. Be careful for what you wish for. Someday it could be you going to prison because your likeness was placed in a video or child porn was found on your alleged computer. Anyone can log in to your office computer and download child porn onto it and then call the authorities on you. I promise you’ll have an impossible time explaining away the evidence to officers who can’t wait to prosecute you. You’ll loose your house, reputation and that’s all if you are lucky.
To believe in “anything” is Man’s drive to assign order to what is the chaos of reality. I say “I believe in God”, but in no way can I prove to you God exists. Faith creates the perfect argument. The very argument “does God exist” ends up being this philosophical cul-de-sac. There is more evidence suggesting God’s existence .vs not. I find most who deny God simply hate the religious version or just simply disagree with faith leaders who all too often share their beliefs through zealot dogma… I can’t blame some atheists. BTW- There’s no such thing as an atheist in that, we talk about God all the time. God is always there, rising to the top of the conversation. God exists every single day. If one is thinking about God, that right there is argued as proof of God’s existence. I don’t like to conceptualize God, but for the sake of argument, everyone answers to a God.
It’s faith that drives some of our countries processing of facts be they law or conspiracy. I find most on the left prefer supporting evidence for their “choices” where the right is driven by an imagined, inspired philosophical greater-good that is forward-thinking, adaptive, and changing based on what is “safe” and “American”. The left raises taxes to quell corrupt gov’t spending. The right raises taxes to quell corrupt Gov’t spending. Don’t want your taxes to be raised? Vote better. Take a class in economics. And figure out where those tax dollars are going.
Imagination is the birthplace of innovation. That’s a good thing… belief is what wins wars, but belief does not create this MacBook pro I’m using. Scientific, critical thinking created it and sustains it. Scientists are all too often perceived as assholes due to their transparent method of thinking. They don’t “believe” and most I know do not believe in God. Yet they produce the medicines that keep you alive and healthy. Without them, I would be dead by now and you’d have to deal with an assortment of Pandemics. You haven’t heard about the other Pandemics the World Health Organization stopped? Worth a search.
Science should never be manipulated to produce results “we want” just so we can say “Eureka!” And expect to put men on the moon. It’s thinking and mathematics, chemistry, biology not a “belief” that allows man to look and travel beyond the stars. Science is brutally cruel in its assessment of fact. Belief plays a big part, but unbridled leads too unrealistic and manufactured reality hence conspiracies.
Belief, critical thinking have to be applied in addressing ones bias and asking the tough questions that very well may reveal answers that challenge personal values and reality.
Our fears drive our political orientation. How we manage fear drives one to the left or the right. Most rock climbers are Democrat’s. But, some of our greatest Generals were Republicans. McArthur once ran for Republican office. I’m a fan of Patton who compared both Democrats and Republicans to Nazis. I have a level of disdain for the culture of politics in America. Patton’s philosophies and “beliefs” resonate with me.
Republicans used to dominate the entrepreneurial spirit, but youth is changing that. All the Republicans I know are old men and women. Most of the start-ups I work for are driven by leftist views and ideology.
The left gets in trouble because they take action based on supporting, tangible evidence, sometimes reckless, expensive. The left ends up spending money and challenging the right philosophically. The left is responsible for a dismal economy under Carter, and yet a wonderful rebound under Obama after the attacks on the Twin Towers soured America. War in the middle east diminishing confidence. The S&L debacle nearly wiped us out. Obama is one of the greatest presidents I voted for who I didn’t like. I like W Bush but ended up very disappointed. At least W wasn’t a full-blown crook.
The right will believe an image of a container in the desert is a chemical weapons store and then commit our nation’s best to invading and toppling a dictator (Saddam Husain) only to discover there aren’t any chemical weapons hidden anywhere. In spite of his human rights violations, Sadam Hussain provided chaotic predictability depended upon by Iraquis. The US really didn’t solve any problems in Iraq other than trading one problematic leader for another. All of it in a very corrupt part of the world that doesn’t want to change. Can’t change. Will never change.
The left advocates for universal health care and the right or “Red” drop words like “evil” and “communist”. You, the reader, have never been to a communist country and I am sure you’ve had some bad experiences with people, but you have not experienced “evil”. I have. There isn’t a branch of our country that is remotely communist or evil. And that’s the truth. Even most racists have learned to limit their behavior as their hearts are not wanted or needed in modern America. Racism is alive and well in America. There are “evil” groups in America, but you and I have the choice to stop them. And we don’t. I support freedom of speech. I am against freedom of shit.
Trump claims he has done more for black people than any other president. The civil rights act, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964, prohibited discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. This document was the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. Leading up to it’s signing was decades of violence, killing most Americans know little about. The civil rights act eclipses any of Trump’s accomplishments directed at our “African” families. There is still much work to do. The best I can find from Trump is he tweeted this tone deaf comment just days after George Floyds murder:
Trump doesn’t demonstrate any feelings or awareness … just constantly shifting the attention to himself or distorting reality, marginalizing, and discarding fellow Americans in an effort to elevate himself 1st. Rather than addressing a nation in light of an ongoing problem we all face, he drives a divide deeper by demonizing not just violent protests but going after peaceful protests and condoning violence against the violence that ensues to this day. Trump lowers himself to the level of thugs he is critical of. Rather than setting a goal, he escalates tensions demonstrating he has no clue or simply avoids any sound advice at contending with the ongoing violence our country will continue to endure.
Joe Biden really is an average guy who has dirty ties to Wall Street and militarism. His corporatist ideals don’t fit well with our existing volatile climate. Sounds like Deja Vu to me. It’s almost like Trump all over again. Not perfect. What we really need is a unifying Republican President like Reagan. For a celebrity elected to office, he left our nation with pride and a sense of worth. People were proud and the world looked up to the USA. He conquered the cold war and showed how America is the rightful home of the free and the brave.
It took two senate committee hearings to clear Biden of any wrongdoing with Russia. And yet, the right demands it to be true. That’s a great example of a “belief” conquering fact. Just the situation says “It’s okay to make things up”. Trump spends quite a bit of time pursuing a Biden conspiracy, requesting foreign assistance in bringing Biden down thus triggering a dysfunctional impeachment wasting your time and mine. (Trump says he was impeached for making a telephone call). All the impeachment did is embolden Trump. The left can pat themselves on the back should Trump be elected a second term. Ya’ll simply looked like a bunch of bullies, bullying a bully. What an embarrassment and utter shit show the impeachment was. Can’t fight pathological behavior with reason.
If you and I tell a lie enough times, it becomes truth. I can throw a black belt around my waist and most won’t question it. Suddenly I’m a martial arts expert. When anyone does question my authority, I can call them assholes and losers. I banish them from my school. And you’ll go along with it, especially if you are a student. To even entertain the possibility I’m an imposter is to question your own intellect. The choice is to be right by proxy or admit you were lied to.
Take it from me, admitting to being fooled is catastrophic. When everything you trusted is falsified, it will break your spirit. Assuming one doesn’t just lie to themselves.
Biden is an unrepentant racist and self-declared Zionist with a cringe-worthy record of misogyny who “did” support the Iraq war.
If Biden is elected, hopefully our country puts immense pressure on him. I am certain he can be pressured and that is worth voting for him in light of this jumping between crumbling columns I have to do in order to endure another four years.
There is a whole trove of Trumps and Bidens waiting to bid for office. I’m not sure either can produce a better outcome in the next four years.
I’m an un-associated American who has a strong disdain for political culture (As you can tell).
This vicious cycle of bad politicians and unrest can only come to an end through a sustained and uncompromising course of critical thinking against the very grain of this American political culture that demonizes the Black Lives Matter uprising… celebrates neo-Nazis, and canonizes Hillary Clinton, Biden, Bernie Sanders, Trump as God-given salvation against this murderous banality called “America Belief”.
Donald Trump is an anomaly.
He’s neither a Republican or as we can see a Democrat. His rhetoric is highly un-American, he marginalizes our countries systems that have sustained it’s people and supported by our tax dollars, he devalues people, calls for the arrest of others in government without an ounce of merit, compares himself to Churchill, takes credit for an economy he did inherit, believes Putin and Kim Jong-un actually like him (Trump is so easily duped.. he reminds me of that guy who tries to act smart and well ya know… we go along with it… )
Trump attacks and demonizes those who don’t support him, condones an attempted kidnapping of an American Gov, condones white supremacy while also denouncing it after the fact, suggests Osama Bin Ladin is still alive and seal team 6 are all dead. Posts a “white power” tweet, and then implies that black people should abide by his standards of morality and living in order to thrive.
His administration dishonestly edits video in order to portray Biden as confused. That’s dirty, third world authoritarian tactics. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to take after his hero Putin and try to poison Biden.
Trump constantly lies about the pandemic so egregiously it’s disturbing. Claims the spike in cases is the result of more testing. That is unfathomably erroneous in concept. I still can’t understand how anyone could run with that assertion. That’s like saying the reason there’s more fish is because you are catching more fish.
Trump gets 100% of Biden’s plans wrong. Especially on Taxes. Trump claims to an audience today “If Biden is elected, there will be no weddings, no education…”.. what in the wide world of hell is he talking about? He must think we are all stupid. Reminds me of when he was entertaining the idea of bleach injection during a national pandemic daily report. Then he claims he was kidding. No one was laughing. I just saw Dr. Debrah Brix cringing as the camera panned over to her, Trump looking for some sort of agreement.
Trump marginalizes an icon in virology. Dr. Fauci is responsible for preventing countless pandemics from manifesting all over the world. He holds patents for many viruses so they can not be used outside of the scope of their use and that’s in research. They can’t be weaponized. He leads the testing and studying of viruses and specifically those driving a Pandemic. It’s amazing what has been discovered thus far regarding Covid-19. A Novel Virus is a virus science laterally has “zero” actionable data for. It’s unknown how it spreads, how it affects people, how kills, and how it can be traced. The virus is always 10 steps ahead. Once I began to grasp the reality of a viral infection, spreading through the world, became very afraid for Mans ability to fend off future attacks.
Trump brings in Dr. Scott Atlas who is not a virologist as an advisor. Advice from a Dr. who is board-certified in diagnostic radiology, which means he specializes in reading and interpreting imaging like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs, and he served as a professor and chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center from 1998 to 2012. He is not an authority on Virology!! It’s like bringing n a plumber to do the electrical work. That’s not my opinion but the assertion of many disbelieving Doctors who simply can’t support Donald Trump and his misguided and distorted management of the pandemic.
Trump claims Biden wants to abolish police and remove the borders when you can read and hear Biden say “I want to increase federal funding for community policing and to liberalize immigration policy with borders very much still in existence”.
Trump keeps baselessly asserting that mail-in voting is rife with “Cheating” yet there is zero evidence supporting his claims. This kind of rhetoric undermines voter confidence and tarnishes every single facet of what America stands for.
Trump cherry-picks his economic boasts. The truth is the economy is down more than 10 million jobs since before the pandemic with no plan on how to revive the economy or combat covid-19. He’s all about tweeting, crowd size, marginalizing others, calling people names and putting on what really is a stand-up comedy show at his rallies. None of it yields any actionable insight, a plan, or a purpose. His linguistics are layered in superfluous ideas, hyperbole, and semantics.
His rhetoric keeps his supporters and non-supporters in a state of perpetual fervor, bordering on hysteria, to the last cataclysmic days leading up to Nov 3rd. Every day is “historic” for him, the highest word of praise bouncing off the lowest assessment of his opponent. Reminds me of Hitler’s rants against Jews and other enemies where he summoned his supporters to superhuman feats of exertion and sacrifice on behalf of the highest cause “Führer and Fatherland”. The appeal of Nazi language was emotional and irrational, and Trump really really sounds like Hitler in that context. And in tone. But Hitler didn’t just impact those who came under his spell. Hitler’s rhetoric and speaking style also aroused the most sinister form of inspiration in history.
On the bright side, for now, Trump’s language lacks inspiration. He’s not nearly the diabolical genius Hitler was.
Trumps linguistic style requires no expert knowledge and has no code of hidden meanings. Simple pitch-man orator style. It’s attuned to some of the strongest albeit ancient currents in American pop culture, and it gives rise spontaneously to slogans that are easy to memorize “Build the wall,” “Lock her up,” “Witch hunt,” “No collusion,” “Make America great again.” It’s the way people talk when the inhibitors are off.. it’s mean and meaningless. Trump’s brand is available to anyone who’s willing to join the “mob”. (The Dems are almost as bad a mob without slogans).
If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend reading Bob Woodward’s book “Rage” and listen to his recorded conversations with Donald Trump. They are very sobering and revealing. Bob Woodward has written about every president since Nixon I believe. His account of Trump didn’t reveal much of what I didn’t know or understand. It was the recordings that really allowed me to experience Trump and how he is a major threat to our nation.
His financial obligations are in direct conflict with American interests and security. At the level Trump deals financially, it’s a calculated risk to throw a nation under the bus in order to disrupt banks and have an upper hand in avoiding payment. After all, the net worth of Donald Trump is 2.5 Billion. He has a lot to loose. He’s not that “rich”. That 2.5 Billion can be consumed quickly should his Hotels continue to fall short of profits (per the WSJ). The motive to compromise a country and then save his financial worth puts him in conflict with national interests.
Trump could very well face jail time due to the Stormy Daniels debacle where campaign funds were used to pay her hush money. Michael Cohen went to jail due to using campaign funds to pay off others on behalf of Trump. Can’t prosecute a sitting president. With the federal gov’t and the IRS hot on his heels due to corrupt tax reporting, they are waiting for him to be out of office in order to pursue him and yield justice.
Trump will leave the country as soon as he is out of office. Just watch. That jet is ready to go.
No wonder he says “Lock’m Up” all the time. It’s a projection of what his greatest fears are. All people to some degree project their concerns fears on others. All we have to do is listen to what others say and the words literally reveal a hidden truth. Granted it takes time to learn the patterns. I’m no psychologist, but at the very least, I’ve spent considerable time with a couple trying to fix myself.
He has millions in unsecured debt coming due during the coming years. The kind of drive required to pay that debt or let’s say he defaults, that conflicts with his integrity and duties as a president. The whole reason Trump ran for president wasn’t to win but to raise money for some of his dwindling Hotels and Golf Courses. The Presidency could very well diminish his value, his name, as a brand for his Hotels. There exists a very clear conflict of interest on a national security level. His middle class, non-college-educated supporters won’t be the ones vying to stay at his hotels or playing golf at his resorts. A financially unstable or insolvent President should be removed from office or prevented from running until they can show their affairs are in order and not in conflict with national interests.
Trump threatens to challenge 25th Amendment rights which is the very antithesis of what is American. I like Republicans even less than Democrats but I hold both in high esteem because “you” both are Americans and should behave as such.
Trump makes false claims the voting system is corrupt and sows the seeds of doubt and division. Even Al Gore took a bullet for the nation in light of the hanging chad debacle. He understood how important that right of peaceful transfer is.
Donald Trump makes fun of people with disabilities.
Trump’s list of associates who are in legal trouble coupled with the long list of former cabinet aides stepping up and warning the US of his incompetence implies he is either a really bad judge of character or his associates are evil. Which is it? Or is it he’s just an east coast mobster-like, fast-talking, property developer. There are lots of men just like him on the east side who look down on others. Trump is far from original.
His track record as a businessman is dismal costing banks billions. His strategy of holding banks hostage is testimony to his hollow morality.
When he claims to be a believer in God, pandering to the religious/Christian right, holds a Bible up in front of a church and then makes a reference to 2nd Kings literally saying “Kings Number 2”… I know I’m experiencing a pitch man, a brand, one who will say and do whatever he can to raise money and elevate himself at the expense of a nation that has only one chance to recover from just four years.
He did deliver on his promises though. It’s just that he delivered on promises he could. Low hanging fruit.
He uses American resources to dig up dirt on those he dislikes and wastes our collective time by ignoring expert advice and then presenting himself as an authority which he is not with respect to Corona Virus.
Within a day of the inauguration, he sent a team of navy seals to Yemen. One lost his life. The order was given over dinner. then Trump blamed the Generals for the unnecessary death of a soldier. Trump had the audacity to state he didn’t formally authorize the invasion. That is a flat out lie of monstrous proportions. Covert operations simply cannot be commenced without the President’s implicit authorization. Trump cast the safety of American lives to the wind, over dinner at Mara Lago. 13 children were killed, 5 marines wounded, crashed a 74.5 million dollar aircraft and we have Sean Spicer telling the American Public it was a success. RIP William Ryan Owens. God Speed.
Trump literally redefines what we as Americans perceive as success. Every single day.
I remember how it seemed all so cavalier. 1st task as president, with a team he hasn’t spend any time working with, authorizes an invasion of a country over dinner. No review, no verification. Just an order, over dinner. (All involved are now gone or facing prison time) Soldiers are suckers. Right?
He calls our national heroes losers. Then denies it, and then the video roles and there he is, calling Senator John McCain a loser for getting caught. Did you know McCain didn’t leave the prison camp he was at, but rather he stayed with his fellow soldiers? That’s not a loser.
Trump contradicts himself, pitches solutions and fails to deliver. Recently interviewed by Lesley Stahl of 60 minutes, the most profound detail wasn’t he walked off, it was that in response to questions about his frivolous health plan, he claims it exists and then has Kayleigh hand over a giant book stating it’s his health care plan!
I don’t know what’s in the book. News sources say it has no contents related to a comprehensive health care plan.
A president does not hand a book, 12″ x 16″ x 12″ over to the press outlining his yet to be reviewed/released healthcare plan. That is one of the most self-defeating mistakes a leader can make. That is preposterous to even make Kayleigh hand some random book of orders and court directives over as a “health care plan”. There’s no way she was fully informed.
Trump uses defense funding to build a wall that won’t help you or me ever. Tunnels are being used to get into the US. It’s not that hard people. Seriously. A wall. Ha!. The coyotes fly in as well.
Takes credit for building ventilators while out of the other side of his mouth downplays the virus. (Ventilators were built in part by Ford, GM and Philips.. paid for by funding provided by the defense spending act when in times of war.. is invoked at the President’s option. It’s an order. Ordering the court to authorize spending is nothing special. Not something Trump can take credit for. It’s not like he hit a ball out of the park.
The first 30k ventilators Trump claimed he produced were actually delivered under the Obama administration. Even Trump aides admitted the ventilators were part of Obamas Pandemic plan.
Trump has a weird obsession with erasing and distorting everything Obama ever accomplished.
We are rounding the corner as the economy faces a dismal future, Covid 19 death and infections is on the rise with no solution in site. Yet his supporters chant “4 more years!” and “We love you!”
Because they believe.
I could get into foreign affairs and peace in the middle east. What is obvious is the Abraham Accords between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States pits an unlikely group against an emergent Iran who has zero gumption to strike a new deal with the US (Trump pulled out of the deal)… Now the Iranians can develop nukes anyway without being held accountable. We are no better off in the middle east than what any prior administration accomplished.
One of my favorite TV shows is “Black Mirror”. It a modern day, tech-savvy version of the Twilight Zone. The producer is Charlie Brooker. He won’t release a 6th season due to the shear madness we are living in. He sates 2020 is so unreal it’s literally a never ending episode. So, he won’t release a new season for now. You can see the past seasons on NetFlix.. find out more here https://www.indiewire.com/2020/05/black-mirror-creator-season-6-world-bleak-1202229611/
I hope for the best. At 56 I have a pretty good track record of assessing the facts be it in business or politics and I’m rarely 100% spot on, but I’m never far off.
The 1st civil war was started mainly because slaveowners couldn’t bring their slaves into the Union states. Slavery wasn’t allowed. The confederates felt this was a threat to their constitutional rights. It was a threat to their God-given right to own slaves. For real. Crazy. It’s the same thing with masks and the virus. America will be at war with itself, some weaponry provided by Russia, within 4 years.
I believe we can avoid it and it’s not too late. I just don’t know what that solution looks like. I don’t know who that “leader” is.
