Ok, love is too strong a word, but the word tolerate fits. The world didn't end because Trump became president. We didn't enter into another Mideast conflict or get nuked by North Korea and the economy is booming. So, I have no problem with 4 more years of the Donald as our commander in chief. Besides, with the country $400 trillion in debt, I rather have old Donald at the helm when the economy finally implodes. After all, who does bankruptcy better then he?

For me, even the term tolerate is a bit strong. I've learnt to ignore him. What this 'post truth' Trump/Boris/Brexit era has done to me, is to diminish my faith in human kind, and in politicians in general. I used to avidly read newspapers and follow the news. I was a Labour party member, and generally took an interest in the political and geo-political landscape. Now I just think "F**k em" What'll be will be. In a democracy, you lie in the bed you make for yourselves. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Jeremy Corbyn is an idealistic politician, who genuinely and is certainly to the left of Bernie Sanders, who despite what his critics in the US say, is NOT a socialist. Corbyn is unfortunately a hopeless leader. I think the problem is that the left, or relative left is out of tune with the Zeitgeist' right now. That may change, but things need to get unbearable for that change to happen, IMO. Most people vote for who they think will let them keep more of their wages at the end of the month. Many will vote for those who they believe best represent them ideologically, but from what I can see, in the US, the dems stopped supporting the "working man" and started fixating on the Middle East and pandering to the middle class student, politically correct set, and lost 'blue collar' America to Trump, whilst being so up their own asses, they failed to notice it was happening. Correct me if I'm wrong. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Maybe in another state it would be a vote for trump, but not in my heavily blue state. My thing is, I’m not going to vote for a candidate I truly don’t like just because I want trump to lose, or because I’m obligated to “vote blue no matter who.” If I walk away with another 4 years of trump atleast I’ll have my integrity and I’ll know I wasn’t pressured into voting for some lousy candidate. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

I don't really understand the "Bernie or bust" logic myself. I'd love to see Bernie in there, though if the Senate and House don't move strongly in the blue, Bernie's not going to get the things done he wants to. It's an imperfect world. I guess swallowing the pill of voting for the next best candidate doesn't come easily to some? I'm not so sure Bernie will win against Trump either. The Republicans have a well-oiled propaganda machine and they are going to treat the words "Communist" and "socialist" as derogatory terms, like they have for decades. And they're going to make it stick to him and scare people (like they always do). The bizarre thing is Bernie is neither of those things. If any thing, he (and Elizabeth Warren) are the closest we have to what were once known as New Deal Democrats. They are essentially taking the ideals of FDR and expanding upon them. FDR's policies (plus labor unions) are one of the reasons we even have a middle class in the U.S. The other "elephant in the room" is Vladimir Putin. Does anyone seriously think Putin isn't going to go through the trouble to rig the election for Trump? Anyone want to take a gander at why the Republicans aren't doing a whole lot on election security? Furthermore, on the rare possibility that voters overwhelming vote blue, does anyone think Trump will leave office peacefully? His favorite word is "hoax." Putin wants the American democracy to implode. He's got the right puppet in place for this to happen. We are now a banana republic. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

"Radio Sputnik, a propaganda arm of the Russian government, began broadcasting on three Kansas City-area radio stations during prime drive time. When commuters spin the radio dial as they drive through Kansas City, Mo., these days, between the strains of classic rock and country hits they can tune in to something unexpected: Russian agitprop. In January, Radio Sputnik, a propaganda arm of the Russian government, started broadcasting on three Kansas City-area radio stations during prime drive times, even sharing one frequency with a station rooted in the city’s historic jazz district. “Who needs a ridiculous Red Dawn invasion,” a participant in one online forum wrote about the new broadcasts. “Your overlord, Mr. Putin, will be addressing you soon, so it’s best to prepare now,” another commenter wrote, referring to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. In the United States, talk radio on Sputnik covers the political spectrum from right to left, but the constant backbeat is that America is damaged goods. Sputnik’s American hosts follow a standard talk radio format, riffing on the day’s headlines and bantering with guests and callers. They find much to dislike in America, from the reporting on the coronavirus epidemic to the impeachment of President Trump, and they play on internal divisions as well. On a recent show, one host started by saying he was broadcasting “live from Washington, D.C., capital of the divided states of America.” Critics in Kansas City called Radio Sputnik’s arrival an unabashed exploitation of American values and openness. Those behind the deal defended it as a matter of free speech, as well as a simple business transaction. Peter Schartel, the owner of Alpine Broadcasting Corporation of Liberty, Mo., the company airing Sputnik in Kansas City, said that he started the broadcasts on Jan. 1 both because he liked what he heard during a trial run last fall and because he was getting paid. The deal was brokered by RM Broadcasting, a Florida firm that hunts for airtime to sell to Rossiya Segodnya, the Russian state media organization behind Sputnik. Last year a federal judge in Florida ruled against RM Broadcasting’s owner, Arnold Ferolito, after he sued to prevent the Justice Department from forcing him to register as a foreign government agent. (Various news media organizations linked to Russia had already been ordered to register.) The ruling outraged Mr. Ferolito, who said he made his first deal to get Russian state radio on the air in the United States in 2009. “They are paying for airtime and I make a percentage,” he said in an interview. “I am not being paid to represent the Russian government.” Anyone tuned to Sputnik on 104.7 FM while driving across the historic 18th & Vine district in Kansas City, Mo., will find that it fades for a few minutes of music from KOJH — the call letters refer to Kansas City’s oldest jazz house — before Sputnik takes back over. For years, Anita J. Dixon, a community organizer, dreamed of creating a radio station built around the music of such legendary Kansas City musicians as Count Basie and Charlie Parker. Ms. Dixon said having Sputnik dominate the same frequency was jarring. Mr. Schartel disputed the notion that Kansas City is getting Sputnik instead of jazz. Radio Sputnik does beam its signal on the same frequency as KOJH, he said, but outside the limited geographic area awarded to the Mutual Musicians Foundation for the nonprofit, low-power jazz station. Ms. Dixon still found it galling that Russia had gained space on the radio dial on the same frequency she had envisioned as a beacon for a black community that, among other things, had sent soldiers to die defending American values like free speech. People ask how Russia managed to interfere in U.S. elections, Ms. Dixon said. “Because they get free airwaves,” she said. “It is called propaganda.” Before Kansas City, Washington had been the only American city with Sputnik broadcasts — round the clock on one AM station and one FM station. Public disclosure forms show that the Russian government is paying more than $2 million over three years, starting in December 2017, for the Washington broadcasts. In Kansas City, the fee is $324,000 for three years, or $49.27 per hour, according to RM Broadcasting’s Foreign Agents Registration Act filing. Mr. Schartel said he gets $27.50 of that hourly rate. When it began in January, the Sputnik broadcast on KCXL was met with strong condemnation from locals. The station received a lot of hate calls, including a threat to burn it down, Mr. Schartel said. An editorial in The Kansas City Star noted that the free press was a prime target of Mr. Putin’s attempts to weaken public trust in American institutions. “It’s sad, but not astonishing, that an American entrepreneur would put business above patriotism,” the paper wrote. “Listener, beware.” Those involved in putting Sputnik on the air defended it as free speech. “I am not a bumpkin that fell off a wagon; I encourage people to listen for themselves,” Mr. Schartel said. What was once Radio Moscow was reborn as Radio Sputnik in 2014. Mr. Putin backed the effort to create a central, state-run news organization — called Rossiya Segodnya, or Russia Today in English — designed to challenge the West’s global dominance on reporting news. In a modern spin on propaganda, it focuses on sowing doubt about Western governments and institutions rather than the old Soviet model of selling Russia as paradise lost." from www.nytimes.com ------------- Help the victims of the russian invasion: http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28523&PID=130446&title=various-ways-you-can-help-ukraine#130446 |

For anyone who seriously doesn't understand what Twitler is all about I highly recommend Joy-Ann Reid's book The Man Who Sold America. In her introduction she compares Assholini to a Batman villain. It is so spot on and scary...  "Donald Trump seems ripped right out of that comic book supervillain universe. With h is cantilever hairstyle, weirdly long signature neckties, bizarre syntax, and penchant for slapping his surname on everything he's connected with-from buildings and golf courses to bottled water, board games, and, for a to,e, a sham "university" that promised anyone could learn to be just like "The Donald"-Trump and the cast of characters surrounding him could fit right in with Joker, Riddler, Penguin, and Lex Luthor." ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Even if you don't want to vote in the presidential election, at least make sure to vote in congressional, state-level and/or local elections if they're held in your location. There's potential to bring about small forms of positive change (or at least avoid further harm) even if you have no faith in whoever occupies the White House.

The thing that worries me more than Trump being reelected for another 4 years is him beeing reelected for another 8 or 12 years after that. I'm not joking here. Trump has remarked on this himself repeatedly. The way is already set: all checks and balances have been disabled anyway, all key positions have loyal political allies installed, his critics have been all but disabled, the conservatives are standing behind him, he has no consequences for any actions to fear from anyone (see the impeachment process), so the road seems clear for any required alteration of the constitution. The school bully has distributed the stolen lunch money amongst his friends and promises to continue doing so. What's to stop him? Elections? Dream on!

It's obvious that Trump is already pulling that and has been working towards it since the beginning. His overly large ego wouldn't have it any other way. This is why he admires the dictators so much. I hope that the military will not allow it to happen, but the military might be bypassed if things keep going his direction. After all, he has mostly taken over the entire Republican party and is now telling his aides that he wants less workers in the white house and more loyalists in the key positions. There is no doubt that he is already accomplished much in his take over. I'm surprised that religious organizations stand behind him. You would think they would be jumping all over the 666 symbolism that is attached to Jared, who I believe is the one appointed by the great orange one to share the monarchy with Ivanka when Trump dies. Also, I predict another close race for 2020, and if Bernie pulls off a win, it will be contested by the Trumpian rule and he'll have the military so confused that they won't know who to protect.

Ah no, sure, some right wingers appreciate him and there is a grudging acknowledgment that yet again it's a Republican Prez who locks up The Blob and its pro Pakistan policies (though, with what has happened in Kashmir and to Muslims in general since last year, I am not sure a pro India stance is justified anymore!). But mostly it's like the Brits, laughing and poking fun at Trump while miraculously being fond of BoJo/Modi and failing to see the similarities between them and Trump.

Suddenly he is projected to win every Southern state barring Utah on Super Tuesday and fivethirtyeight has him possibly winning Michigan as well. So I guess there may not be a need for all this. Because the weird defensive voting of Dem supporters on the Primaries will set up another Mondale/Dukasis whitewash. I am curious about where this notion of a safe Dem candidate being the best bet comes from because every successful Dem President going back to FDR broke the mould. FDR, JFK, Clinton, Obama. It was the safe establishment choices who thought it was their turn that lost. Narrowly in some cases like Humphrey or Hillary Clinton but thumping victories at other times like the two I mentioned at the top of the para (and add John Kerry to the list). Biden is 'electable' in the same way that Kerry was. But whatever. I have to live with my bigot authoritarian head of state for at least four more years, if not many more (no term limits here) and America may have to as well.

I must say that I've viewed Trump as an annoyance up to now, but a big one to be sure. Now I see him as dangerous. The worry has returned and the "love" has faded. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Now that Trump has been woken up by the crashing stock market, he's gotten serious now and I'm mostly impressed on how he's handling things so far. He still claims his actions all along were "perfect" but what do you expect? ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

^It's like a rowdy, party animal cramming in for the final exam. Too bad he didn't do this two weeks ago. It might have saved some lives and maybe some of his precious stock market. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| Well, the way he took it out on that correspondent for a perfectly reasonable question, an opportunity in fact to reassure people and look presidential, wasn't exactly, well, presidential. Pence looked very much the part in comparison. |

I don't get it. http://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/donald-trump-gallup-approval-polling/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/donald-trump-gallup-approval-polling/index.html Sigh. I thought, if anything, this pandemic would reveal what's wrong with him to a broader audience. I was wrong.

Trump leveling with the public about the projected death rate of 100-200 thousand was a major step forward for him. He get's n 'at a boy from me. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |
