What Do You Do With A Kook?

Trump, God and guns: if they love them, you can't reason with them.

 

 

Overthrow the president.         What do you do with kooks?

Snakes.       How minds work.        The Unpersuadables.

Talking with Trumpers is like talking with fundamentalist Christians.

Summary of Lies.         Russia is Finally Russian.        Trump Russia activity. 

No Russia, no nothing.        "I don't know my conclusion."

#@%^$&* Idiot.      Magic Phrases.      Let's Obstruct Justice.

Beef Folks and Ridiculous Farmers.     So Calm.

Mean Things.      Treason.      Bob Mueller and the 18 Killers.

Farmers, Do The Right Thing!         Demean Congressman Green.

Just Wait It Works Out.

Russia Is Waiting

The redacted Mueller report has been out for a couple of weeks now. Here are some early takeaways from it.

 

The Russians interfered in the 2016 election.     Russia is waiting.

 

The media were right about Russia.            Not collusion/Just working together.

 

To exonerate or not to exonerate.     A nice Comey dinner.       Dealings in Russia.

 

Maybe confuse people.      I'm a very smart guy.      Fake media did too good a job.

 

Judge Andrew Napolitano regarding Trump and obstruction.       Turned around world.  

 

FOX News.        Twelve ongoing investigations.        Hold on!

 

 

 

Where is the Middle Ground?

Where is the Middle Ground?

For two months, I’ve been struggling with this topic and as I prepare to post this episode, I don’t feel I’ve reached a suitable conclusion.
Emotion and reason don’t have to be at odds, do they? Mustn’t there exist a middle ground where two sides can reach a compromise? Is compromise possible if one side claims to hold certain ideals and values and then casually discards them as the political winds change direction?
Is a fruitful conversation possible when one party argues disingenuously?

 

 

Quote from Daniel Patrick Moynihan.           Quote from Ronald Reagan.     

Arms for hostages.      Facts and evidence don’t matter.           The emotional response.

Deciduous values.          American Conservatism is not based on politics.

Two sides of Lindsey Graham.           Nicole Hemmer- Miller Center.

Where's the middle ground with racists, anti-vaxxers, flat-Earthers, man-made climate change deniers?

Science is a conspiracy.             How to negotiate a compromise.

Triggered All The Time

Over the last month or so, I captured several interesting callers to a couple of my favorite News/discussion radio programs (Radioactivity and Executive Session) on WMNF in Tampa, Florida. I took those calls and added some recent comments from the President, Lindsey Graham and Orrin Hatch (from CNN), ran it all through the mind thing and here's what emerged. Enjoy.

What's going on?         Weird Gilligan's Island coincidence.              Sex and Demons.

 

N.R.A. killers.          Evil's gonna win.         Can't take that serious.

 

Crazy powerful.         Russians.          I don't care.

 

Steal tremendous amounts.          Directions.                Don't give a sh*t.

 

We need help.         Hate gangs.        I don't care.

 

Power Tends to Corrupt

A bully can deny your reality. We have a president who can repeatedly lie blatantly and yet continue to receive professional media coverage befitting the office. When he should rather be disregarded as an unreliable source of information and ignored. It seems people are no longer outraged when the president directly contradicts himself. While some are dismayed, many others find it humorous, the truth drifts a few more degrees away from the national attention, as we are swept up in a whirlwind of falsehoods, half-truths and obfuscation.

 

Power tends to corrupt.         Great men are almost always bad men.

 

Bullies.        The response to power.        Definition of "bully" Dictionary.com.

 

Rude, terrible person.         Suppression.         NEWS = pain.

 

Excuse me.       Racist people.        Fake I.C.E..

 

I want protection.         Collusion.     

 

No fair Supreme Court.

 

There will be blame.        Terrible difference.

Multitudinous Tribal Existences

This one's a bit dark and didactic. It's kind of difficult to discuss retribalization while staying positive. Toward the end of the month, I came across a rich vein of additional tribalist information, much I was unable to include. This topic demands to be revisited. It will, hopefully with a lighter approach, next time.

 

 

Electric information movement.          Information bubbles.        

 

Naive idealism.         Abandon that thinking.        

 

Quote from Marshall McLuhan Playboy interview 1968.

 

World Pool.         Identity quest.         Facebook.

 

Youtube information silos.         The narcissism of minor differences.

 

"it's Even Worse Than It Looks,"         Norman Ornstein,

 

Thomas Mann,        Healthcare.        Fool for the Enlightenment.     

 

The illusion of separation.         Show don't tell.

 

A new goal for humanity.

 

 

 

Keep The Swamp

Introductory explanation.        The Woodward interview.    

The cone of silence around Trump.      What are you gonna do?

They don't tell me.        You do know I'm making billions.        Afraid.

Feel badly for Russia.       We are all corrupt.       Play horrible games.

The American people lost big.   Keep the swamp.

What You Are Seeing Is Not Happening

 Lately, whenever I cast my inspiration net, I come up with mostly Trumpian topics. This disturbs me, because I am certain many other things are happening. However, I must work with what I catch. So here it is.  

For future episodes I may have to shift from net casting to hunting mode.

 

What you are seeing is not happening.       Not the truth.        Putin powerful.

 

Believe fake crap.      Stick with us.       Corporate criminal iceberg.

 

I admit it: Trump admits Russian meddling.         The problem is the president.

 

I don't need this country; I can buy anything.     Usless and petty.

 

Not the truth.     Flipping.       Hey, Putin, that's a lot of money.

 

Make up lies.      More crazy than Lincoln.      Trump in Tampa.

 

Sessions knows Russians.     Nobody knew.

 

Crazy excuse for a president.       Space Force. 

 

I know all about...
