    Re: POTUS 45.25: Oh Jesus, What Now

    You want to see the REAL damage Trump is doing to the World.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/w...imes&smtyp=cur

    When Amnesty International released a report about prison deaths in Syria, the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, retorted that “we are living in a fake-news era.” President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, who is steadily rolling back democracy in his country, blamed the global media for “lots of false versions, lots of lies,” saying “this is what we call ‘fake news’ today.”

    In Myanmar, where international observers accuse the military of conducting a genocidal campaign against the Rohingya Muslims, a security official told The New York Times that “there is no such thing as Rohingya,” adding: “It is fake news.” In Russia, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, told a CNN reporter to “stop spreading lies and fake news.” Her ministry now uses a big red stamp, “FAKE,” on its website to label news stories it dislikes.

      Guess what? They did that. And that's why we have Donald Trump today, instead of some establishment RINO. One of these days, you'll begin to understand that the duopoly is so entrenched that in order to break it, you have to actually infiltrate it.

          He only has the power we give him. He is impotent -- literally -- without our clicks, our ratings, our votes.

          We have it in our power to drive him and his scummy followers back under their rocks. All it takes is an act of will among the 65% to say "No more. You are through." That means the portion of that 65% who made alliances of convenience with him to get their "tax reform" bills or their "religious freedom" judge have to say "I won't play with you anymore -- I will find another way without you."

            Also, I am not Republican. As stated many times before, I lean conservative, but that does NOT make me part of ANY party. The words shoved in my mouth in these past few posts are incredible, and show binary thinking. "You're not a Democrat? Than you must be a Bible-thumping backwoods, racist anti-gay, anti-environment Tea Party Republican!"

            It's truly amazing that any conversation can happen when the majority of people think in either/or terms, instead of shades of gray.
            It's so easy to complain when you don't vote. So very easy- it's clearly everybody else's fault and not yours at all.

            Dude, the only legal way people leave office is if people VOTE. That's it. It's also the most reasonable way of doing it, too- as term limits are stupid. It may get people you don't want there to leave, but it also takes perfectly good or even decent politicians and throws them out. And the constant churn of people make it impossible to really track an effective government.

            So when you complain about every single person in politics are bad, it IS your fault. Vote, for crying out loud. This isn't rocket science, it's putting some credibility that you actually care.

            If you want a third party, the only way they will ever get any traction is if you and people who think like you actually get out and vote FOR THEM. It's not a throw away vote if you are voting for someone you want. Geez.

            BTW, when you go through all of those shades of gray, if you ONLY had a choice between R and D, which one would click the most boxes. Not on what they say they are going to do, but what the parties have actually DONE. THAT is the real problem. R's constantly paint the picture of black and white in terms of good and evil, emphasizing single items that they rarely do anything about, when many D's have rather nuanced views of things.

            Some D's are actually against gun control. Some are pro life. Some are fiscally conservative- even though they want to fund things to take care of people. You want shades of gray, Democrats are the party for you.

            And stop with the whole crap that both parties are bad. People say that because THEIR party is crap, and are convinced that Democrats are evil.

            Just say that you don't agree with either party, and that you are finding a third party.

                  Or if you literally hate everyone, then run. Otherwise you are opting out of democracy and that is even worse than voting for Dump.

                    I seem to recall people predicting this well over a year ago. So for those people who made those predictions but are too humble to get into your face.

                    They told you so.

                          There kind of is. If a third party ever starts to catch fire one of the duopoly co-opts them. So you can influence a major by supporting a minor. It's indirect but there is a drivetrain there.

                            And they put GW Bush and Donald Trump in the White House. In other words, they're ducks.

                              We may be closer to having a fairly large 3rd party than people think, but it's a scary one. I think 1 very large reason Turtle Boy, Ryan, and their ilk haven't shunned Trump is because they are scared to death he will break away from them and their party and essentially start his own party, taking maybe 25-30% of their voting block with him. And that scares them to death. So for now, they are stuck with him.
