Trump Part 11

Not open for further replies.
GOP bods already doing the rounds of friendly news stations opining about how "Well it can't have had much of an effect, people aren't stupid".

Hundreds of teary eyed lil Goppers begging Mueller "to do the right thing" and to resign on Twitter.

I guess, if there's a lesson here , it's to 50 year old + white male politicians in particular and it goes something like "Yes, big magic box that makes porn appear for free on your desk, don't believe it when nerdy types tell you; "No-one will ever know believe us".
 
CNN reporting that, Mueller has handed down the first batches of charges, those named expected to be in custody by early next week. I'd guess this could well be Flynn and Manafort.

Or radiation suits, what happens if Trump goes to war with North Korea, i can't help but feel he'll do anything, in the past i'd have thought this scenario far-fetched, but Trump resigning, or being impeached would make him a failure, everyone knows he doesn't like failures.

George at ASDA have got a two for one offer on their radiation suits in the Autumn/Nuclear Winter collections at the moment...

I rather hope that the military staff whose fingers are literally on the firing button have been briefed to pause and check, if they receive the order from Trump.
 
There's a lesson for the MSM here. remember back when the dossier Steele compiled was first made public the MSM jumped on the supposed visit to the Czech republic by one of the minions and said "Ahhh, all false false false, he was not there , look he was in?".

Well, a few weeks later and having spoken to pilots and plane spotters it was determined that the minion was lying about being where he said he was and though there is not proof he was indeed in the Czech Republic likewise, there was no evidence any longer to suggest he wasn't. The MS made no corrections to that huge mistake, no admission they had jumped the gun and nether was it the MSM that sought out the truth of what happened.

The MSM attitude that, "Well they said this and they are this, so we believe them and anyway we can't be arsed to check up" is what people are fed up with them over and that has no political colour, it's just proper journalism and what people expect of them. The sad fact is, "proper research and considered opinion" is now considered "Anti establishment" by both the current executives of the UK and the USA.
 
Tony Schwartz, the man who know Trump very well and who has been proved right in his predictions on Trump's behaviour as President, has an ominous new prediction:

"Waiting for news that Trump admin has plan for declaring martial law & arresting “enemies” of the state. I firmly believe this is his goal" https://twitter.com/tonyschwartz/status/924380003726446593

And Trump is absolutely crazy enough to try it.
 
One key to Trump's rise was his tremendous attention-grabbing power. That makes one practically invincible in the modern era, when cheap information floods everywhere, competing for scarce attention. See this very important paper for discussion of how classic free-speech protections are now obsolete as protections of the public interest:

https://knightcolumbia.org/content/tim-wu-first-amendment-obsolete

excerpt:
The most important change in the expressive environment can be boiled down to one idea: it is no longer speech itself that is scarce, but the attention of listeners. Emerging threats to public discourse take advantage of this change. As Zeynep Tufekci puts it, “censorship during the Internet era does not operate under the same logic [as] it did under the heyday of print or even broadcast television.”1 Instead of targeting speakers directly, it targets listeners or it undermines speakers indirectly. More precisely, emerging techniques of speech control depend on (1) a range of new punishments, like unleashing “troll armies” to abuse the press and other critics, and (2) “flooding” tactics (sometimes called “reverse censorship”) that distort or drown out disfavored speech through the creation and dissemination of fake news, the payment of fake commentators, and the deployment of propaganda robots.2 As journalist Peter Pomerantsev writes, these techniques employ “information . . . in weaponized terms, as a tool to confuse, blackmail, demoralize, subvert and paralyze.”3
