Our New President - President Donald Trump

Then who the f*ck is going to protect us from Wall Street, and private business, which has done little to help the little guy? I have absolutely zero trust in free market capitalism, because they've run down and divided ordinary people in this country for their personal gain.

To quote supposedly Benjamin Disraeli, those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.

Unfortunately, people seem to be lining up for for this disastrous reenactment of repeating history.

Hedge your investments, or buy private insurance.

Regulators are a smoke-screen.

Look what happened last time, the heavily regulated financial industry got bailed out, precisely because they are regulated. So, regulations didn't save anyone.

Look again. The 2008 meltdown happened precisely because of all the deregulation of the 1980's. Besides, what little regulation there was at that time had little or no teeth. Before 1980, how often did you hear of a bank or Savings and Loan that was federally insured failing?

Maybe you are right about why the crash happened.

However, the bailout happened, because we regulate them.

The same is true of pension bailouts. We bail them out, because we regulate them.

The market could work but clearing out the malinvestment would be painful and ruin a lot of people, knowing that a bailout would be demanded & given almost without question regardless of who is in office changes the equation and justifies the regulation & break up of these too big to fail companies. Actually having control of our country's monetary policy instead of the private Federal Reserve would probably help, the American people have no control and don't even know what the Fed even does. The entire point of of having an 'elastic' fiat currency based on debt is to bailout these interests, the endless printing & debasing of our currency is a hidden tax on all Americans.

LOL I wouldn't doubt it, ONE bit!!

So you think capitalists should be allowed to lie, cheat, and scheme to screw people over. How about this. Go live in your own paradise with no rules. When government has no rules, the people with the money and property make the rules the rest of us must submit to. And unlike government, there is NO representation in the "free market". You still need the government pigs to prop up your fascist "free market" utopia anyways. You need lots of government guns to defend the robber barons from the rest of us.

Why do you believe Trump represents common people's interests? This is completely beyond me. How do you separate these "deep conspirators" from the average Republican staple plutocratic chumps Trump has personally hired to run his administration?

He represents interests of mine and many other people's that were callously dismissed out of hand as racist or stupid or crazy, getting ridiculed/belittled/ignored like that because your interests do not match those of the overeducated cosmopolitan elite naturally lends itself to generating a lot resentment which is why Trump's combative personality doesn't bother me because I see him as doing battle against my enemies on my behalf.

Most Republicans played ball, most Republicans are not really the issue but rather a relatively small but very powerful group that we came to know as 'NeverTrumpers' which were mainly neoconservatives. Neoconservatives represent an extremist foreign policy married with globalism and have embedded themselves in the upper levels of our government/military/'intelligence community', it should be no surprise that the NeverTrumper Evan McMullin was a CIA agent. I believe that the CIA effectively has governed this country for decades, since at least the time of Reagan's election and probably long before that too. The media isn't focusing on the 'average' Republicans in Trump's administration, they are targeting people like Steve Bannon/Stephen Miller/Michael Flynn who challenge the status quo. I am very upset about what has happened with General Flynn and believe the saboteurs responsible should be made an example out of, these people are the reason why things never change in this country. FWIW I think Rex Tillerson from what I know was a great choice for Secretary of State, I support what Betsy DeVos wants to do to education so I do not have an issue with her nomination, I do not care if they are 'plutocrats' if their interests intersect with mine. Trump has been true to his word so far, we'll see how it goes because eventually we can stop speculating about fears and what you might think will happen since then we will actions that will go along with these words.

The alternative was Hillary Clinton and the 'progressives', I am not regretting my decision.

No they haven't, you're still Roman. Bowing to the alter of Roman government. Praising and deifying the men who claim "divine right to rule" and still carrying on the Roman traditions, too.

And that's not even addressing the "religious" myths you still subscribe to. Is what it is.

I think what you're really trying to say, and obviously I can agree with, is that most of the ~100k most powerful and privileged humans in existence are "white dudes" (same "white dudes" who think the human population should be decreased by 99% and who control the worlds' governments)... But what you are ignoring is that the rest of us are scraps... all these "isms" are propaganda to keep peasants divided and distracted while they (primarily "white dudes") stock up on everything they need to kill all our asses. Is what it is.



Again, you are negating the reality of the situation entirely. It's kinda like that scene from the matrix "there is no spoon"... "Rich" and "poor" are entirely fiction. They are created by this atrocious game of violence where all things on earth (and apparently in the heavens) are up for grabs; humans can "Own" and "Rule" and "Control" all of it, each other too... It's all fiction, perpetuated and sustained solely with violence, man. That's the only way, "violence isn't the answer" yeah, unless it's to preserve our atrocious, fictitious game. Hoarding and claiming "exclusivity" and "ownership" over "resources" is a crime against nature, much less "humanity". Is what it is... And these "working people" as you say are THE SAME ONES PERPETUATING THE GAME. Spending the best hours of the few they get on earth devoting their entire efforts to keeping it alive while the whole world and so many species, including our very own dies, BECAUSE OF IT. Is. What. It. Is.

Perhaps if those same working people devoted half of the same effort to keeping biodiversity alive in our ecosystem (like humans were "intended" to begin with) and did good for the living planet that sustains them rather than always destruction, robbery, extortion and violence, perhaps they'd survive and at the same time, solve all their problems, while the "rich" and "powerful" become eternally obsolete... Who knows, maybe enough suffering will wake humans up one day



Thank eddy bernays for his excellent work in propaganda throughout the 20th century for the existence of racism as anything but a laughing matter today. Keep these sheep divided against each other and the united wolves have buffet. Racial differences are taboo, no no, unless you're a comedian... get it?
Ha. Is what it is.

Go ahead and read the other parts too... this document seems to have changed a little over the past few years, not just in layout and presentation with the site, but seems like "new edition" too (lol). I keep looking for the old version I downloaded once before but can't find it. :/

The problem is not with races... The problem is with other things. "Spiritual sickness" infecting everyone.
Before "white dudes" were conquered and converted (during what we call "dark ages") by Romans to the atrocious way of being that they brought to turtle island, they were very different. Only the compliant and subservient were allowed to continue breeding, fighters who could be converted to fight for the Romans were preserved too, everyone else tortured and murdered, languages extinguished, whole works. This is real history of the world, "recent" history even in the scope of the intention of humans to take over the place (which has been ongoing since long before the "Romans" showed up in the equation). Is what it is.

Or maybe it was a top secret government experiment which could explain why everyone involved gets away with all of it, as usual, when atrocities are committed ("willfully" and "intentionally") by government.

Think back to the government of Germany at the start of WW2, hell, even start of WW1 and earlier if you'd like... Economic justification of the mass extermination of citizens, of course, to alleviate the "economic" burdens. Disgusting what the people allow from government... If we were to ever be a "nostalgic" people, we should bring back "public hanging" for this particular event, in which everyone whose hands are dirty from it get to drop, all the way to the very top. But nope, because government has made sure it will never fear its people. They have scribbled that they have moral "justification" to "use any necessary force to maintain order(control)", and that means, it's immoral to use force on government, moral for government to use force on you. "In God We Trust" has decided it. And so here we are, government probably intentionally poisoning an entire city of "negative economic equity" citizens, you know, "cutting costs" and s**t and getting away with it like it's their divine duty to make such decisions regarding "lives worthy of life". Disgusting. How are people still voting? Paying taxes? Pulling over? How are people giving government ANY respect whatsoever when they've got the military deployed against its own people for daring to gather with picket signs in the middle of nowhere, and poisoning an entire city population of people, seemingly intentionally without recourse for their "leadership blunders"?

I can't believe this. How are people so asleep to all of what's going on?

So.....what do you think should replace all that you write?

You're only making charges, not offering solutions.

Talk to me when you make some sense. I no longer belong to the Catholic Church. Subject closed.

Now back to the subject the thread is really about - Our Wonderful President - President Donald Trump!
