It seems more like sedition rather than rebellion. The major parties have their own world views and are antipodes regarding legislation. Idiots anyway…corrupt, spoilt. Destining Americans pointless minion-peons for globalist corporatist-socialists with concentrated wealth and power.
While minimum wage went up 3.5 times the past 50 years the stock market went up from 850 to 23,000. Those extra trillions went to 1% of the people. Real Americans were left behind and are politically a herd to be controlled. President Obama making tax cuts for the 1% permanent was the final betrayal required for the end of democracy.
New Year 2020 could have new items like pink ladies high heels plastic drinking cups and floating sphere lamps a foot in diameter easy to relocate from room ceiling to ceiling, yet the usual political suspects with the same tired old planks will reappear. None know the difference between capitalism/corporatism/oilgharchy, socialism and free enterprise democracy, so the emergent political choices remain those of pre-determined cyclical historical vectors negating intelligent choices of future determination.
Heck.
While China has perpetrated racial-political genocide on Tibet, people like Bill Gates have sought partnership building experimental nuclear plants in China to empower the oppressive regime further. President Trump has rightly conducted trade war to stiff arm the aggressive, expansive, vastly populous nation a little, yet President Xi of China has made implied threats toward the peaceful island nation of Taiwan declaring it a prize for China's borg empire waiting to be consumed.
President Trump should continue the trade war until China recognizes Taiwanese independence. Democrats should sign off on the wall and face reality instead of dopey fantasy utopia they perceive all around them if it weren't for the President.
Chinese leadership under the dictator should forego the usual ways of politically swelling with a large population and an increasingly efficient and productive economy often leading to war or annexation of lands and regions unwilling to be dominated by oppressive and vast left-wing bureaucracy. Humanity needs good new ideas rather than old ways and social vectors leading through unsustainability to conflict. War is the historical way for the rectification of politically acceptable ways and means internationally that well should be rendered obsolete with more innovative applications of logic.
In a way, Mitt Romney's attack on President Trump during the border wall government shutdown seems like the former Presidential candidate loser's way of validating himself as being a worthwhile politician not really rejected by the nation. The fellow who transported his dog in a car top carrier possibly in a hurry to get his family to a dressage elite horse prancing high stepping show (or maybe some other form of vacation) is the son of a man who was born in Mexico and ineligible to run for the office of President yet did. George Romney was born in Mexico. George's parents fled during the Mexican revolution. When the dictatorship was in jeopardy they had nowhere to go except Salt Lake City Utah.
Mitt Romney is something of a mercenary for the most rich globalists. President Trump seems more common. General Stanley McCrystal-the excellent American soldier proficient at the art of killing combatants, has also recently attacked President Trump on moral grounds. In my opinion the General's attack isn't warranted. Killing humans isn't the highest level of morality possible. It in fact violates one of the ten commandments technically, while President Trump's moral failures and use of hyperbole instead of pure logical clarity in expressions doesn't quite rise to that level.
One might believe that General McCrystal was a possible candidate to be the President's next Secretary of State. It is fortunate that he spoke out when he did.
Americans have elected less than top of the pile Presidents in recent years- actually since Ronald Reagan. The office fundamentally enriches the most rich and pursues bad policies as the candidate's ideas are vacuous. That isn't likely to change. Those commenting critically of the President are of the insider-elite average non-sustainable economic ignoramus class of people. General McCrystal is himself a career government technician without any free enterprise spirit who as a good soldier could have done his job equally well for the Soviet Red Army.
Mitt Romney and other losers that support corporatism and the destruction of the U.S.A. should refrain from working to elect a Democrat through attacks on the only electable Republican. Massachusetts was a leader in queer things such as Obamacare, and Romney was the Governor of that State before fleeing to Utah to be elected a U.S. Senator.
Mitt Romney said that half of the people were bums or something like that, who did not want to work (maybe it was just 50 million) while Hillary said that Trump voters were trash or something to that effect; Romney-Clinton are antipode peer elitists against ordinary Americans. Democrats fail to comprehend why people vote for President Trump.
President Trump is to be given one and a half billion dollars from the purse of Speaker Pelosi, for maintaining a wall; should he use the money to finance the construction of a wall on the Mexican border by North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un's cheap laborers in a deal for the cash and denuclearization with verification by the forces of Speaker Pelosi?
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost
Representative Gianforte should compromise with Democrats and help pass a Democratic plan with just 2.5 billion for the wall instead of 5 billion if and only if Democrats implement some sort of measure to assure that Montana's major cities get 5G wireless before August 2019. Fast Internet speed is part of state security too.
Montana cannot just be a state with flowers and cattle, spent mines and a little oil. It needs 5G wireless as much as the states that get preferential treatment from Verizon and AT &T. In order for technology to advance Montana cannot be left in the dark ages of 3 and 4 G wireless. President Trump should make sure that every red state has 5G service before the end of 2019. What good is a President if he can't get 5G in states that voted for him and some progress on national security?
How can Nancy Pelosi be so useless in her nitch as Speaker? Any Speaker of the past besides Paul Ryan would have found some way to compromise and make government function. Not Speaker Pelosi though. She says she gets a tingling feeling all over her body on blocking 'Trump's' wall. Apparently she is so brain dead she needs to use old Chris Matthews verbiage.
Speaker O'Neal might have signed off on 5 billion for the wall so long as California got 5 billion for a mag-lev train system. Speaker need to think and get things done rather than acting like sit-down donkey's proud of not moving at all.
My early pick for the 2020 Democrat Presidential campaign winning ticket is Beto O'Rourke and Elizabeth Warren. Democrats don't want the tired old white Uncle Tom former Vice President for the White House. They want someone who looks like Robert Kennedy, is young and vital and has former President Obama's eye upon him.
Sure their are other potential candidates, yet Democrats want a woman in the White House yet they also want a young gun who will glamour schlep with the Hollywood Stars. It would be wrong to think that Democrats care about substance or ideas; they don't. Gender, age, photogenicity; those are things that count materially.
Democrat candidates need only read the teleprompter with the basic party planks on it, and that's it for experience, new ideas, reform or anything worth changing. Yes, there will be also rans. Senator Corey Booker looks like he is running to be secretary of State. Senator Socialism will run. Bernie Sanders has character and the right idea that the most rich should pay very high taxes. Unfortunately socialism is not democracy. It is the half-sister of corporatism and each repress free enterprise democracy (though Democrats have completely forgotten what that is or how it is works when healthy.
I prefer silence for writing in order not be distracted or influenced by irrelevant sound. Actually I've spent a lot of time in rural Alaska where I can hear an engine two miles distant or a rifle shot five miles away. In a quiet ecosystem one can listen to nature much better. Silence allows one to listen for danger; .e.g. a brown bear approaching quietly or of other interesting life. One may awaken with a whale snoring or in the morning with an exhalation. The raven's intelligent sounds in a tree above a tent. When one has a writing tool for writing words it seems good to imagine the distant places and cities where humans dwell, and the sounds of their machines, as strange phenomenalities temporally on the Earth. Eventually the time for writing ends and one must rejoin the world of Golden Arches and carbon monoxide.
The U.S. Government has been partially closed none days so far and it is kind of a relief. President Trump should commission a study on how the government might be partially closed regularly in order to reduce the cost of government.
It is probable that a good systems analyst might discover ways to consolidate government services and agencies creatively and actually get more bang for the buck. If government could be closed 30% of the time, in theory it would cost 30% less.
With the military industrial complex dominating the federal budget and with the complete unwillingness of Democrats to fund security on a practical level like spending five billion to build some more miles of solid fencing on the Mexican border, closing the government might be the best way to prevent the federal deficit from getting worse and to stop Democrats from inventing more inefficient and less-than-optimal ways to spend federal dollars ostensibly to help middle class and poor people while the economics facts speak for themselves; wealth is being concentrated in the 1%.
The market has gone up from 850 to 23,000 since 1972 while the minimum wage has only gone up 5 dollars. Democrats are just enriching their party leaders.
