Because Trump 2.0


Mr King

Recommended Posts

I had considered posting this in the 'Because India' thread, but you know, anything to stop the 2 minute hate which is becoming boringly monotonous on both sides.

KONNEY/NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) - Bussa Krishna first began worshipping Donald Trump four years ago when the U.S. president appeared to him a dream.

Since then, after a run of good fortune, the Indian real estate broker has transformed his modest home into a shrine to the U.S. leader, who is due in India on Monday for a two-day visit.

“My love for him has transformed into reverence. That has given me immense happiness. Hence instead of praying to other gods, I started praying to him,” Krishna told Reuters.

Krishna, who lives alone in a village in the southern state of Telangana, has erected a life-size statue to Trump in his yard, while his walls are scrawled with the leader’s name - to the annoyance of his extended family.

“I am facing difficulties because of my relatives,” Krishna said. “They tell me that I am disgracing them in society. I told them that just like you believe and worship Shiva, I believe and worship Trump. Neither of us can stop the other from doing so.”

Well, if you have multiple gods what's one more?

this dude calling people liars, where's moderator?

I check this from a phone, so I don't see all the choices, but isn't there a report-function?

But if you are gonna go down the name-calling- or insult-line, this topic would have died 250.000 posts ago.

For me on the side-line I'd like to see more counter-arguments than "he's annoying, I don't like him, therefore I am right".

You wonder what effect that image would have on people either side of the political divide whilst taking drugs. It would be an interesting experiment. :D

Ive come to the conclusion, and its where I went wrong at first, and where LD still goes wrong. Trump isnt about any physical reality, its an emotional appeal. Or like UFO's. You either Believe or you dont Believe. Logic and evidence doesn't really enter into it.

 

Ive never looked at politicians with a mixture of reference and hope, so Its why I made the mistake that evidence and fact would make a difference. I think people support Trump to get away from those kind of things.

Stuart, are TankNet's masochistic? Trump's success has been fully explained multiply times. And after November of this year, you can see further success for the next four years after that.

Look at it as comic relief. On the other hand Last Dingo is the perfect example of liberalism. And why it is wrong.

 

There is nothing wrong with Liberalism, anymore than there is anything wrong with Republicanism. There isnt anything wrong with Conservatism, there isnt anything wrong with Socialism. As always, people go far to far with what sometimes are good ideas. We really have to get away from this idea that ideas are right and wrong for all time, and the people that support them saintly or fools. At times, both are true.

Im reminded of a review program where the people were interviewing a Michael Crichton book (Airframe I believe), and one reviewer said he was a bloody terrible author. It was pointed out many novels he sold, and the reviewer replied 'That doesnt make him a good author. It makes him a good salesman'. :D

 

I believe the same is true about Trump. Whatever his flaws as a human being, he is without doubt one of the finest salesmen on the face of the planet. And really, thats all he needs to be. On present evidence, he doesn't need to do anything at all. He can fail on absolutely every policy, blame the Liberal opposition, and he will be forgiven. Its a talent, but if you want the swamp drained, the wall put up, deprived regions in America reenergized, the infrastructure rebuilt, the US Military Rebuilt, your enemies defeated, he wont do any of these things. But he will make you all feel good about yourselves, and in the end, thats all a politician needs to do to be reelected. Im convinced he will get a second term because of it.

 

I had a Friend called mike I worked with about 20 years ago. He was a fairly amiable, likeable fellow. Got a bit drunk sometimes, but he was in his 20s, thats the kind of thing you do when you are in your 20's I gather. There was a woman in our factory who was about 20-30 years older than him. She was, as my father would have delicately put, 'well trod on'. And one night, Mike got drunk, and such things happen, he woke up next to her the next morning. Imagine his horror waking up to a woman who looked exceptionally attractive drunk, and discovering her morning face was not quite so delightful.

 

That is pretty much how I would have felt about Donald Trump. I would have recognized he was a better choice than Clinton, sure. I would have fallen for his faux Socialist arguments and voted for him. And then I would have woken up the next morning quietly crying into my pillow at the horror of what I had done. :)

Or, you can deny the evidence and logic if you are fearful of the implications.

As [the lying moron] has turned the economy around and got things rolling again (simply by taking the government boot off business' throats) (...)

 

Seriously, why do you repeat this nonsense? The economy has "turned around" about a decade ago and has not broken with its macro trends since the change of administration at all.

This was mentioned here before.

 

In fact, all that hugely expensive fiscal stimulus yielded no improvement fo the trend, which is a colossal economic policy failure.

 

 

 

What's the point of living in fantasyland?

It would be irreconcilable with my honour to retreat into such delusions.

Ive never been the Fox Mulder sort Im afraid. I would say 'I want to Believe', particularly as seemingly everyone else does. But I dont. Its my cynical Anglo Irish nature coming through I suspect.

I don't want to believe but there is the Navy evidence. I don't know what it was but it doesn't have an ordinary explanation.

All of your citations prove what I wrote about the economy was true. The recession officially ended in June 2009 because the economy started expanding already in January 2009. The definition of a recession is when an economy contracts for at least six months. The definition of a recovery is after an economy has expanded for at least six months. Those two contradict themselves. If the authorities declare a recession exactly when it starts then they should declare a recovery exactly when it starts also. But they don't. Instead they used bureaucratic double talk of the sort that could cause George Orwell to blush. People who are properly educated and of sound mind must reject anti logic and lies from government officials. Do you?

 

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE. JWB IS A LIAR.

 

First, he pretends that anyone should care if he redefines economic terminology.

Yet even if he had that power, he would still lie:

 

Quarter 1 2009 had -4.4% growth relative to preceding quarter.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RL1Q225SBEA

 

and -3.3% growth relative to Q1/2008.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RO1Q156NBEA

 

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE. JWB IS A LIAR.

 

And when he tries to claim otherwise, he just adds another lie (and talks bullshit about actual subject matter experts).

 

------------------

 

Now there are three things I don't understand:

1) Why would anyone be so inept at lying.

2) Why would anyone dare to keep the bullshit coming in front of me.

3) Why are you guys not offended by being lied at by JWB and others here? They're disrespecting you.

Hmmm, things might get interesting, but I still think it is smoke and mirrors since the Deep State will protect itself: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/developing-durham-expands-probe-into-special-counsels-activities-interviews-several-fbi-investigators-who-worked-on-muellers-team/

 

It will be the ever expanding investigation that will take far longer, roll past the election where if Trump loses, it dies or if he wins, it will be anohter "mistakes were made but we won't/can't indict for a thousand different reasons. Let's just have more powerpoint continuing ed and call it a day" white washes with Trump now backed into a corner of having to disavow his own AG or take it and like it. We're now hearing "we can't indict in DC because the grand jury/jury pool/judge is too tainted with Trump haters to get anywhere". If that's the case then we're cooked because everyone of these cases will have to go through DC.

To: Last Dingo

 

Look you keyboard jerk; I AM the fucking economy in the United States of America. You don't know what the hell your talking about.

You are just like the LT in platoon with his fucked up fire mission

I'm sure someone with more skill than me can post a lint to Sgt Barnes' statement about what you know about the US economy.

Well people claim everything from Roswell, to Bigfoot to the Loch Ness monster exist. I'd happily believe such things, but in that, and in politics, I'm not going to deliver my credulity to other people's hands without evidence.

It was very strange, sure. But there was an article on the drive that suggest they were possibly a very sophisticated drone. There have been studies by us military contractors back to the mid 50s in antigravity. Maybe even the previous decade of claims about Nazi involvement in the search for zero point have any truth to them.

So the US Air Force at great expense rolled out the flying dog that is the F-35 because it had a powerplant that can move a ship from sea level to 80,000 feet in seconds like the US Navy fighters tracked that object doing. That doesn't sound probable....

 

The alternative is that we are being watched by one or more alien civilizations that view us as, at some level, a threat. No talking, no interaction, no sharing of technology. Just watching.

Wow! You are truly ignorant of economic methodology.

Q1 2009 actually started on October 1 2008. :lol: :P

At this point there is no good reason for me to discuss economics with you because you have been profoundly mis-educated by shit professors at a shit university that it would take years to properly re-educate you. I have neither the time nor the patience to pursue such a futile and fruitless task. The fact that you have falsely accused me of trying to redefine terminology is proof enough that you lack the intellectual capacity to absorb the proper knowledge. Instead I was simply pointing out how elite economists embrace mutually contradictory facts as simultaneously true.

Day is night.

Up is down.

Left is right.

Good is bad.

Expansion is contraction.

The above is known as double bind schizophrenia.

Of course. All Trump supporters can't logic. That's why we have those video-drome mind controls rays attached to the videos.

 

It can't be that Trump Supporters have a different set of objectives than do the progressives. No, it's that they're all demented fools. Stuart, you learned NOTHING from Brexit and the fact that support for Labor tanked. NOTHING at all.

About JWD's most recent bullshitting:

 

There got to be a bottom for stupidity. Somewhere.

Macro variables do not follow whatever stupid rhythm business calendar some companies may have.
Q1 in macroeconomics is January to March, period. I told you guys you cannot translate small business ideas to macroeconomics. That's what stupid does.

Monthly real GDP data of 2009 if anyone wants to check that:

https://www.ceicdata.com/datapage/embed/ipc_united-states_real-gdp-growth?type=area&from=2007-07-01&to=2010-06-30&lang=en&start_date_full=1948-03-01&end_date_full=2019-12-01

The idea that Q1 in macro reporting could be anything but January to March is so silly that I couldn't even find a definition to clarify. The lack of monthly GDP reporting by the Fed and government doesn't help, but I have found this for anyone who still doubts that Q 1 = January-March (and thus Q4 = Oct-Dec) in macroeconomic reporting:

https://www.bea.gov/system/files/2020-01/GDPKeySource_4q19_01-31-20.xlsx
Look at cells M37, O 37 and Q37. They add up perfectly to cell S37, that is October, November and December add up perfectly to the BEA's 4th Quarter figure for the item.
----------------------------------

Now I won't call that another lie of JWB because I completely trust that he's actually that ignorant and stupid AND reckless enough to make the assertion without checking it first.
Particularly the latter, for anything but would be out of character to just about every right winger I've ever encountered.

I actually wasted minutes on looking up evidence to counter his bullshit rather than just stating the obvious right away.


Last but not least @JWB:

"Wow! You are truly ignorant of economic methodology."

"Get help"
"The fact that you have falsely accused me of trying to redefine terminology is proof enough that you lack the intellectual capacity to absorb the proper knowledge."
(Yeah, actually the latter is nonsense and just a display of his broken logic processor, but he deserves the echo.)

Stuart lives in some alternate universe where Trump is a “salesman” and his policies are failing.

 

My wife lives in the universe where the illegals at her workplace are making her life hell, and she cannot bring her African sister here because 20 million illegals beat her hear while we were going through the legal process. We have 2 parties to choose from. One actually campaigns from Mexico and says open the border to everyone. The other one is visibly building a wall and has strongly reduced illegal immigration. He’s had to work his butt off to accomplish that and we appreciate that.

 

The leading candidate for one party wants to grant voting rights to the Boston Marathon bomber. One wants to reduce immigration from countries with an entrenched terrorist problem.

 

One party enthusiastically supports infanticide. One doesn’t.

 

Most everyone in the country feels they are better off financially. The exception is very wealthy citizens from very high tax states.

 

It’s a simple binary choice in the universe we live in.

I didn't say they have no logic. I'm saying their motivation to vote for Trump was a largely emotional choice. Just like Brexit in other words. If I thought with emotion, I would probably have voted for Brexit too. But I dont.

 

Btw, I voted against Labour too, so I'm part of the Rebel alliance also. :D The reason I voted against Corbyn wasn't emotion. It was based on the logic that I'll never vote for a Communist, or an antisemite come to that. Anymore than you will vote for Sanders I guess.

 

I don't believe one should vote for any politician based on emotion. They are there to take out your garbage, not be a marriage partner.

My wife lives in the universe where the illegals at her workplace are making her life hell, and she cannot bring her African sister here because 20 million illegals beat her hear while we were going through the legal process. We have 2 parties to choose from. One actually campaigns from Mexico and says open the border to everyone. The other one is visibly building a wall and has strongly reduced illegal immigration. Hes had to work his butt off to accomplish that and we appreciate that.

The leading candidate for one party wants to grant voting rights to the Boston Marathon bomber. One wants to reduce immigration from countries with an entrenched terrorist problem.

One party enthusiastically supports infanticide. One doesnt.

Most everyone in the country feels they are better off financially. The exception is very wealthy citizens from very high tax states.

Its a simple binary choice in the universe we live in.

His policy of getting re-elected is succeeding fine. I can't personally detect anything else he has done. The wall remains unbuilt, the navy still lacks its 350 ships, the infrastructure remains unbuilt, the swamp is rapidly filling. Does any of it matter? No.
