Picture this: Two old guys are filling water bottles in the hot July sun at a remote vending station…
…and just for something to talk about, the two get to discussing Donald Trump’s apparent habit of tweeting random passing inflammatory thoughts for all the world to see.
“Didja hear his latest?” says the first man. “He said one of those women in Congress he’s been feuding with should be shot. ‘She should catch a round,’ or something like that.”
To the second man this seems extreme even by Trump’s admittedly extreme standard. “Trump said this?”
“Yeah. Saw it on television.” The first man watches a lot of cable TV.
From the truck, the first man’s wife agrees that this was indeed reported on television, and was therefore incontrovertibly true.
The second man goes home and forgets the conversation until the next morning, when he looks for any mention of the incident on the Internet. And he finds…
A Louisiana Cop Said AOC “Needs a Round”
…in which some idiot in Louisiana did in fact say exactly that on Facebook. There was further reference to said idiot losing his job over it, because cops really shouldn’t say things like that out loud.
Precisely how this “story” – “Obscure Louisiana man says something stupid on Facebook” – morphed into an example of the U.S. President’s murderous racism is still something of a mystery to the second man. But American political discourse does seem to have devolved into a high stakes national game of Telephone.
Sadly, no mystery to be had. It is the purposeful effort by the media (the disinformation branch of the DNC) to mislead, misinform and cause (they hope) dissonance between the president and his voter base, sufficient to allow them (the DNC – media complex) to impeach or find some mechanism to get rid of him now, before he is re-elected in a landslide and they lose another 1500 or more elected positions at every level of government across the nation.
Trump 2: The Revenge
This time he’s mad!
After three years of listening to all the leftist crazies in Hollywood and elsewhere making “jokes” about assassinating Trump, none of whom suffered any real consequences, I think it takes a special kind of–well, let’s be nice and call it “audacity”–for them to pretend to be outraged when someone on the Right buys what they’re selling and engages in the exact same sort of rhetoric.
Also, given the known inclinations of the mainstream news media in the US, are we sure that this guy actually said that? Are we sure he even actually exists? Is there any independent confirmation of any of this? Or is this just more “fake news?”
Likewise, remember how all the Lefties are constantly outraged and offended by the “dog whistles” they constantly claim they can perceive in anything Trump or anyone else who isn’t a Leftie says? As far as I can tell they mean anything and everything anyone else says is a “coded” call for violence. In a context where Antifa terrorists have spent the last three years shooting up Congressional softball games, shooting up churches, attempting to firebomb Border Patrol facilities, and beating journalists and peaceful protesters with bicycle locks and concrete bricks concealed in milkshake cups, and doing all these things with near complete legal impunity, courtesy of Leftist judges and the Deep State, that should be sobering.
It should be sobering because Lefties always project. ALWAYS. It’s not just a psychological flaw, either. It’s a tactic. Lenin said, “Always accuse your adversaries of anything controversial you are doing. When they respond with the truth, mock them for failure to devise a more original accusation. This will keep the people confused until it is too late to stop your plans.”
What all this means is left as an exercise for the alert reader. I don’t have a crystal ball but I think we’re about to see some interesting times–in the Chinese sense.
Before the ’16 POTUS election I told some friends while we were hunting that I hoped Trump or Sanders would win because of the entertainment value. Trump has not failed in that regard. It’s all entertainment!
They make it so easy : “The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.”
