Text of the page (random words):
cutive at breitbart and the mercer family backing away from their financial support fire and fury sure has unleashed a political firestorm but to me it seems that many of consequences have fallen on steve bannon proof of the buffoonery of the trump administration is nothing new many of the courtiers in the white house have whispered about the 25th amendment big whoop bannon falling to his knees though looks like he ll need some financial backing to get back up and if not financial definitely political but in bannon s neck of the woods only potus can provide that by the way i ve been meaning to read more of the book and post my thoughts about it on here posted on january 7 2018 january 7 2018 north korea nuclear state with higher ambitions even though the lines of communication have thawed a little between north and south korea president donald j trump isn t deviating much from his usual tone against the rogue authoritarian state i guess when you ve been blogging long enough you start to phrase things in a quasi journalistic way and ignore the hypocrisy of the nation where you re posting from trump has offered a roughed up looking olive branch to kim jong un sure i always believe in talking was the official response he gave to journalists but this comes shortly after he said he had a larger nuclear button than kim trump followed that up with if something can happen and something can come out of those talks that would be a great thing for all of humanity that would be a great thing for the world very important such a statement follows a trail of bellicose rhetoric maybe i should add amid saber rattling to complete the illusion of journalistic language launched and sustained by both leaders trump continued to take credit for the slight altering in the diplomatic landscape between both countries a lot of people have said a lot of people have written that without my rhetoric without my tough stance and it s not just a stance i mean this is what has to be done if it has to be done that they wouldn t be talking about olympics they wouldn t be talking right now i d love to see them take it beyond the olympics at the appropriate time we ll get involved seems irrelevant to me kim jong un has already offered a vague timeline for opening up talks with other nations being very open about using the threat of nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip this reminds me of how past presidents would take credit for an improving economy even when evidence of their involvement having a positive impact was slim or nonexistent while it s important to keep pointing out blatant misinformation via the trump administration or directly from the llama s mouth considering the long term non nuclear impact this has on the the region or world politics is also important even though the north korean dictatorship has proven it is internally strong and by internally strong i mean heaping upon its citizens horrible abuse of all kinds it hasn t been able to demonstrate that it can elicit responses from other nations that benefit it until very recently if we look back it s been a lengthy road of verbal attacks and nuclear tests these tests have never been for their own sake though to see kim jong un realistically we must view him as a semi rational actor neither genius nor madman he occupies a space uniquely his own the united states has been dealing with the north korea problem since the clinton administration deferred military action and murky diplomacy have always been the habitual strategies going from vague in a few years threat to blistering moment to moment terror north korea has a story to tell too it s easy to perceive the country as a hermit kingdom with little designs beyond retaining what little power it possesses and if we aren t viewing it as a hermit kingdom we are seeing kim jong un playing the world s stage and using fear as the main source of entertainment it s an interesting if wrong perception as the new york times reports kim jong un has domestic ambitions that rival what i believe his broader ambitions to be if i understand this article correctly kim jong un wishes to seem relevant to the newest generation focusing on modern seeming nuclear weapons vs antiquated seeming technology even dictators have to seem relevant to some degree it s a form of patriotism too and despite many defectors a patriotic message is playing in north korea that isn t entirely dissimilar to the bravado seem from potus on the world s stage kim jong un might wish to sabotage the diplomatic ties with south korea and the united states not only this but openly trying to ease tensions on the korean peninsula by appealing to the south koreans takes trump out of the ballpark whether or not he approves we could see kim jong un s attempts to get closer with south korea as feeding an international agenda or as a means to prop up his domestic one certainly this is larger than donald trump and the north korean leader has definitely demonstrated that posted on january 6 2018 january 6 2018 latest trump tweetstorm isn t a revelation pretty normal category 1 behavior not one to let a sleeping dog lie potus tends to kick a canine when it s down see below now that russian collusion after one year of intense study has proven to be a total hoax on the american public the democrats and their lapdogs the fake news mainstream media are taking out the old ronald reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence donald j trump realdonaldtrump january 6 2018 doesn t seem like a hoax to me but if you kick that dog enough something good will happen doubling down via tweet was his favorite strategy during the campaign but also obviously throughout his presidency if you don t possess wit repetition is the next best thing right so he s still rambling on about the russian collusion playing the part of his worst accuser if you think about it then he chases after democrats and the media usual make america great again fare he chafes at the reagan comparison but has been happy to invoke the similarity with the former potus on prior occasions putting all that aside if you wish to not be perceived as crazy the solution to that is as simple and repetitious as the tweets themselves actually throughout my life my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart crooked hillary clinton also played these cards very hard and as everyone knows went down in flames i went from very successful businessman to top t v star donald j trump realdonaldtrump january 6 2018 once again he aspires to hurricane tier tweets but can barely reach category 1 status and that s a generous assessment imo here he attacks crooked hillary which is basic campaign trail stuff then in typical fashion he uses victim mentality to boost some mirage about having a fantastic ability he perceives himself as being mentally stable and really smart to president of the united states on my first try i think that would qualify as not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that donald j trump realdonaldtrump january 6 2018 not just smart but genius level i think he truly believes it narcissistic traits can solidify in isolation living a life of incredible wealth is a good example it allows those character flaws to magnify and there isn t much to keep them in check now he s president and in a mind like that such a position only reinforces that sense of superiority when trump witnesses the erosion of various institutions this also seems to reinforce that behavior michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book he used sloppy steve bannon who cried when he got fired and begged for his job now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone too bad https t co meeuhk5zv9 donald j trump realdonaldtrump january 6 2018 voices whispering lil bob corker are echoing throughout the vast hall of what we ll soon call history total loser same deal here what s new sure he refers to former chief strategist stephen bannon as sloppy steve but no new angle is taken no revelation from a supposedly brilliant mind even the insults aren t creative rocket man was copyright infringement lil bob corker wasn t especially wounding just another generic barb from a bumbling man there s also a fundamental inconsistency when you have the self perception of genius mingling with conservative victimhood would the mind of a chess champion become ensnared by the most basic of situations i m convinced some social and intellectual impairment exists and that no amount of twitter followers nor the withering of already weak institutions will diminish that fact if i had to critique the liberal media for one thing it would be that there is an intense focus on trump s general mental ability but what should be incorporated should be a broader reflection on trump s ability to cope with the social world sure they comment on how he is shattering norms though that isn t the same thing as commenting on a pathological deficit of social insight narcissism is almost glorified and thus is presented as a reflection of social status they focus on impulse control but that feeds into the narrative of the bully continuing with behavior that has been validated in the past posted on january 4 2018 bannon being fired again trump opposes separation of corporation and state seems strange but the exchange between donald trump and stephen bannon reminds us how hyper corporate the potus has molded the us to be where once capitalism seethed in the darkness it s just the way things are not too bad it s come out to play asserting forcefully that it can kick your ass out the door sarah sanders suggested today that breitbart should consider firing steve bannon as corporations and government protocol mingle it s becoming increasingly hard to separate the two is separation of church and state the issue here more like separation of corporation and state the former has adopted a vaguely religious ideology to protect their business practices even though bannon most likely won t be fired the threat of a diminishing fanbase is probably considered just as terrible a fate sander s position that breitbart should stroke its chin thoughtfully while thinking about tossing bannon out on the street is essentially corporate language trump turned the same language on espn employee jemele hill is trump extending his reach while breitbart has always worked for trump this public display of insult from a former insider using the bully pulpit for vengeful humiliation then a very quick capitulation from the other side sets up an interesting dynamic it also heavily supports punishing corporate language that won t necessarily be forgotten once trump leaves the oval office enjoy the rest of your day posted on january 4 2018 january 4 2018 trump will sue sue who why steve bannon of course mr bannon is on a collision course with judge judy following former white house chief strategist stephen bannon s inflammatory comments concerning trump jr and his participation in the 2016 trump tower meeting which recently surfaced in a soon to be published book trump s personal lawyer sent a cease and desist order to the president s newest pariah from what i m gathering a cease and desist order is more of a firm warning a harbinger for more serious legal action if one doesn t well desist it also serves the trump narrative of threatening legal action if the enemy doesn t choose to slink back into obscurity trump s legal team is also trying to get the book from even being published legal pursuits and capitalism obscure the schemes of a would be dictatorship sarah sanders official bugle for the trump presidency decided to make public her disgust with bannon s attacks on his family i m extremely in favor of republican infighting but this strange hypocrisy even though it focuses on the architect of trump s personality seems to attack reality and ignore appeals to consistency trump s repetitious libelous tweets have injured not just specific individuals but have also inflamed political fault lines in his gold encrusted mind does hypocrisy fall by the wayside because ever shifting distinctions are created then tossed away another aspect to consider is that the president s pattern is using the courtroom to stir controversy in the mueller probe he is the victim the muslim ban was halted by a so called judge if memory serves his business career could be characterized in part by legal intimidation is trump emboldened now since gorsuch is firmly rooted in the supreme court maybe he s downright arrogant now with all the far right puppets inhabiting the lower courts he was always over confident of course but having a legal system propped up in your favor does incredible things for an already hugely inflated sense of self worth this book would add more weight to an administration cracking under public scrutiny i think we have to balance out the narrative rather than just see trump the mighty let s focus on trump the flailing the latter shouldn t conjure up pity or complacency the reason we should focus on perception should be pretty evident after last year s events paint the image of a predatory larger than life figure then fear and anxiety might paralyze the political process if you instead choose the portrait of an incompetent pity inspiring figure then attention toward politics goes back to american default apathy etc trump was right about fire and fury except now it s coming from a former comrade posted on january 3 2018 january 3 2018 just a short post before bed yep there he is former president barack obama a recent post in the guardian got me to thinking obama represents the torch of nostalgia some golden age of american government that s now long gone at least to a sizeable swath of the us while i m not sure that trump s new year outburst is anything spectacular to some it highlights a border between the obama era and this one now we should be certain there s no going back that s probably true to an extent considering the hard right has had a taste of supreme leadership they won t give up the fight easily but nostalgia is a powerful motivator and while it s not substitute for ideology it can be a powerful motivator to tie together loose segments of thinking into a vague but convincing enough framework that it passes for ideology the obama era might ve come to a close but many people still remember it fondly any candidate in 2020 that seems like a throwback to that era could have an advantage my pre bedtime thoughts anyway posted on january 3 2018 bannon lost his mind after giving trump a brain in trump s latest salvo he s claiming that stephen bannon former chief strategist has lost his mind i figured i would quickly update my previous post from earlier today here s a quote from potus steve bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency when he was fired he not only lost his job he lost his mind steve was a staffer who worked for me after i had...
