Presidential Race, The Final Frontier

Presidential Race, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the barship Trumpyprize.
Its 5-beer mission: to explore strange gutteral worlds,
to seek out new lies and old provocations,
to boldly, emphatically, and with scant relation to facts
set about making America greatly hydrated again with Brawndo.

    It feels more like The Walking Dead.

    Although…liberating in a way.

    I have mixed feelings about Trump. But the fact that the Corrupt Crony Power Elite despise him and see him as such a threat must say something. They hate him and they want us to hate him too, even though their interests are diametrically opposed to those of most Americans who aren’t part of the CCPE. What does that say?

    Nice grouping of far too true jokes.

    What we say here in the swamp when someone fakes you out.

    Who is faking us out? Are you saying the CCPE really want Trump to be President but they are just pretending to despise him? Or that Trump is really one of them? Or both?

    The New Trumpyprize doesn’t have shields, just a big wall around it.
    “It’s Yuuuuge!”
    Chief Engineer Montgomery Sanders tells the captain, “I’ve got to have thirty minutes…and a $15 an hour minimum wage!”

    Maybe, yes, and maybe. I don’t think the CCPE wants Trump elected, but I do think they could and would deal with him, since he’s part of their tribe.

    Maybe both, but I do think Trump is one of them. I think the election is like a mom asking a toddler whether he wants to wear the blue shirt or the red shirt. The toddler chooses…from one of mom’s choices.

    Here is what Donald Trump (the idiot) has to say about what kind of Supreme Court appointments he’d like to make:

    Well I’d probably appoint people that would look very seriously at [Hillary Clinton’s] email disaster, because it’s a criminal activity, and I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that, to start off with. What she’s getting away with is absolutely murder. You talk about a case, now that’s a real case. Now, nothing seems to be happening. But you can also poll people on that and you can see what happens to that because that is a real case. And if she’s able to get away with that, you can get away with anything!

    Without question that has been elections in the new millennium. Democrat and Democrat-Lite. But are you saying that people like Rinse Prebus (or whatever the hell his name is) are just pretending to want Trump to go away?

    Dunno, but one assumption I think we can make is that the elite and their lapdogs get so used to fronting, lying, and other fakery that they no longer even notice when they’re doing it. I genuinely think it’s a matter of mind control. In “Reinhold’s” case, beginning in college. I think he will simply parrot back anything he hears his “betters” say. And would most assuredly say whatever he is told to say, in the hope of being thrown a bigger political bone. And I think that anymore, politics is lies, inside of lies, inside of other lies.
