I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Trump is making his critics (the press, citizens, us, etc) think that those that are critical of Trump are “right” and “just,” existentially. I find myself doing that. Take for example Brennan and Clapper. We see them as fighting the “good fight,” but these people also don’t have our best interests in mind. The CIA and NSA are not our friends and that’s been proven time and time again. I fear that some of us (myself included) are thinking that if we have the same enemy as others, that those others are our friends and have our best interests in mind. They don’t.
shyt is fukked up. I’m not sure what do with this problem
Yeah. I’m reminded of the Russian Afghan war in the 80s. We, the US, befriended the mujahadin (Bin Laden, Zawahiri) because they hated the communist USSR just as much as we did. Fast forward 10 years and those same mujahadin attacked us and became our main enemy. I just hope we can learn from that
it is what it is.
as imperfect and sometimes even as bad as the IC, law enforcement and the judiciary can and have been, they really are the only ones who can stop trump.
I wish her NOTHING but pain, anguish, mental health issues, domestic problems, insecurities, self doubt, gout, fibromyalgia, ibs, opioid addiction, and for her to stub her big club feet ass toe at least 4 times a day. I want her to cry in her house alone, with body issues and agoraphobia. I want her to be a prisoner in her home and mind.
ibs...
I just saw a news story where the US was aligned with China and Russia against a French proposed and European backed cyber-security measure. Strange times. Maybe we are here by design and Trump is just a useful conman. What if a new world order of bullies was the ultimate goal but only a madman could be the face and scapegoat of this realignment? I fear Trump may be here until 2024 and this realignment will be permanent. America has long showed who she really is to her own citizens and now I think she's ready to remove the mask and show the rest of the world too.
this really is the worst case scenario.
