Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
I find it ironic that the historical separation between government and entertainment has, over recent years, blurred into a near-merger of celebrity professions where politicians are now performers, and performers are increasingly hyping politics.
I suppose Reagan was the prime cross-over with Arnold Schwartzenegger following, but all the former politicians now being televised as regular news commentators on major networks like CNN illustrate that the same acting skill set works both ways.
But the biggest showboat to evolve from the featured protagonist/antagonist on The Apprentice reality television is now President of The USA and still in the limelight. He is still drawn to the cameras, stages and audiences with or without a script, and with narcissism, makeup and hair, costumes and craving for attention and drama.
He reached the pinnacle of power because the audience electorate voted him in, with the same adulation and fawning as star-struck fans worship movie stars.
Essentially, voters fell for his “image”, his publicity and self-promotion – just like professional talent agents and publicists promote the image of their clients. It didn’t matter that his real-life actual age, appearance, conduct and business track record demonstrated all the flaws and failures that would disqualify in any other audition.
I’ve concluded that recent generations raised with mass media entertainment no longer distinguish well between reality and make believe, actuality and acting, productivity and performing. We have all been mesmerized by Hollywood hype. And this fairy tale is doomed to have a very unhappy ending, and deservedly so.

Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
I've taken it upon myself to pull a video from Twitter and showcase it at one of my blogs. If it was Youtube I'd just put the video here, but it's not, so this is the best I can do (particularly for non-Twitter users).
You really have to see this to believe it. It's not surprising, I suppose, but it's really, REALLY "definitive" I guess you'd say, re: Fox News' true colors when it comes to both Trump and Obama.

Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
The media spectacle deserves much more criticism than it has been getting. I think this is because we've been put in a position where if we attack the media, we sound like Donald.JackRiddler » Fri Mar 16, 2018 12:41 pm wrote: Agreed, but I wish that was the only problem with the daily reality show pumping up all crises at once.

I'm saying Donald's disdain for the media actually protects the media from criticism. Another reason he is seriously dangerous

who's defending the the system here?
a tweeting tweeter at the top of your hierarchy with the NULEAR CODES AT HIS TINY LITTLE FINGER TIPS!! A crime family with it's head ready to blow up the world...do you know who trump wants now in his cabinet???? JOHN FUCKING BOLTON!
What part of that equation do you not get?
Who is there that would be able to take down a Crime Family in the White House?
oh and now the DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG DEALERS!!

Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

The art of Poison Pill making has been perfected.
All these things will continue as long as coercion remains a central element of our mentality.

CONFESSIONS OF A CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER: “The Three-Part Plan To Destroy Donald Trump & His Supporters”
March 18, 2018
“**The move against Trump’s private business and his family is meant to push the President into direct conflict with Mr. Mueller which will result in Mueller’s attempted firing. That firing will be used as the primary get-out-the-vote push leading up to the 2018 Midterms in November.
**Democrats take back the House and possibly even the Senate. Democrats and a handful of high-placed Republicans will then move forward with impeachment proceedings. They want to make it a bi-partisan effort to further damage the President.
**The Trump brand will be destroyed. The value of his properties will plummet. His family will be fractured. His supporters will be vilified, ridiculed, and many will turn their backs on him and claim to have never supported him. Those who don’t will risk having their own private lives turned upside down as well.
Never again will an outsider be allowed to win the White House. The move toward full-on globalism where America is no longer its own nation will commence.
This is the plan. It’s happening now.
Trump is fighting back. He’s managed to survive this long but cracks in his defense are showing. If he’s to continue surviving he needs a major counteroffensive that doesn’t play into the hands of everyone trying to topple him.
If a big enough percentage of his supporters turn their backs on him he’s done and he might very well lose everything. That’s the punishment his enemies want to inflict on him. It’s not enough to just defeat Donald Trump. They want him broken and humiliated.”

Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
Some of it certainly, but there is a war of sorts going on, and if Trumps loses, I suspect he will not treated compassionately by his detractors.

Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
God, I certainly HOPE he isn't treated compassionately by his detractors when (not if) he "loses" (ie fails).
Trump needs to be made an example of, as do all of his enablers.
Personally, I would approve of the death penalty (after a FAIR day in court) for some of the shit that I suspect that they've pulled.

But the article seems to paint that as a bad thing, and not as the obvious necessity that it is.

Re: TRUMP is seriously dangerous
Sure, but the plot they outlined is real, nice to see in out there. Of course if Trump wins, he will likewise not show any compassion to his detractors who are trying to do him in. That's what war is about...
