Hate Trump - Love Trump?

ForeverFree76 comments on Jul 19, 2020:

I don’t agree with your premise that Republicans hate Trump, and many Democrats do like him and are voting for him. I don’t know why everyone has to write a disclaimer about how they don’t like the man, but.... It just shows how ridiculous people have gotten.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 19, 2020:

Yep. Anyone not smart enough to think for themselves, is wondering if the media propaganda might be right.

Has anyone read Karl Marx Manifesto, written 1847?

TimTuolomne comments on Jul 19, 2020:

A more recent and practical handbook based on Marx is Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals." It is a "Revolution for Idiots" manual that is far easier to follow than Marx, and you will recognize the steps that have occurred even more clearly.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 19, 2020:

@KrunoS. Global warming. Racism. Religious fanaticism. Republicans. Police brutality. And now the common cold. These are all "invisible" threats, meaning they are not disprovable, therefore perfect to use to terrorize the American Public. Ask any newly arrived foreigner. They think Americans are hilarious because we seem to think the sky is falling. When a truly dangerous virus finally threatens humans, there won't be anyone debating it, because people will be literally dying in the streets, and every other one of us will be among them. COVID-19? Fake threat. See Dr Patrick Moore on "invisible" threats, as opportunities the American left uses to destabilize society and de-legitimize our Representative Republic to make socialism seem like a reasonable alternative. Democrats founded the KKK. They want you to believe Republicans are the KKK. Nuff said? Racism ended in the 60s in the US. I'm old enough to remember real racism in this country. We don't have it now. The American Left wants everyone to believe that Christians are dangerous...the ones who follow the Great Commission to love every human being as we love ourselves. Police brutality...You see through that one I hope. I bet you can think of more. As a direct result of people being terrified of these imaginary threats, some of us who point out that they are not real actually get socially maligned, even death threats. That's what is driving the lack of civility today. You can see that, right?

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 14, 2020:

@Atheist9, those still alive to remember pre-1042 America, knew a time when it was not so that our government was corrupt. FDR corrupted the Constitution by illegally threatening SCOTUS, which caved and set the precedent for judicial activism in Wickard v Filburn. Freedom - especially from our own government, was so much the norm that the people would not believe such a thing was happening, and disbelieved those sounding the alarm. Instead of being impeached, FDR was re-elected. The dumber half of the country was dominating politics even then. More recently, the LRRA was quietly passed by the Democrat Congress and by 1981, 276 insurance companies were driven out of business, quadrupling insurance rates. I remember, and demanded my representatives repeal the LRRA. Almost no one else spoke up, and nothing happened. That set the stage for deterioration of US healthcare and Democrats passing Obamacare in the dead of night. Crickets. It wasn't always this way. But the "silent majority" has allowed all of this to happen.

The best gift of all is the Democrats no longer hiding who they are. They are driving the shutdown, the masks, the social distancing, the control, selling the idea of the "new normal;" all the while blaming Trump.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 14, 2020:

@KeithThroop, The increase in lawlessness in America today is a direct result of people in power behaving beyond the rules, and they are justified by unrestrained contempt by the media for their law-abiding opposition. Its obvious to anyone who is interested in the truth that the Democrat leadership is corrupt and not the least interested in fairness. They are only interested in power and will lie and defraud as required to manipulate their gullible idealistic base. And they will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who threatens their power.

I wonder how many school aged children have died of Covid in the US ?

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 12, 2020:

For the entire history of the US, EVERYONE was exposed to every pathogen known to humans, partly because immigrants brought them from everywhere. Our kids got far more deadly diseases like polio, measles, smallpox, tuberculosios, hepatitis, chicken pox, and yes the common cold and flu far more deadly than COVID-19, and we did not shut down schools, or the nation. COVID-19 is 2000 times less deadly than the flu to non-smokers and people who do not have prior deadly conditions. Are some children with hidden conditions at risk? Sure. Get them tested for those conditions (not COVID-19) and find out. THEN, if there is cause, sequester them. Turning our schools into the equivalent of nursing homes is hysterical nonsense and is the very goal of the American Left. Use that energy to tell your representatives to stop illegal immigrants, who are not immunized, from coming across our borders, and bringing deadly medically resistant smallpox, measles, tuberculosis and a host of other diseases that pose an actual real threat to our children.

And if you think that is beyond belief, consider theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg's opinion: "The Universe is not only stranger than we think. It is stranger than we CAN think."

Accountability would be restored to the levels of the Colonial days, and the fraudulent would be scurrying for the dark. Furthermore, those “states” with more in common could aggregate into districts, perhaps then into independent countries. I would look forward to the Constitutional Republics thriving, as the Leftist enclaves sink to an abyss like the Soviet Union.

@A1fredo, In the US around 1970, the Bayh-Dole act passed, basically giving Universities a free lunch, but there were strings. The rules were made so there was the appearance of fairness, but no longer could universities sue the government for imposing government values on education. All bets were off, and the government was free to coerce universities to set policies and teach whatever the bureaucrats felt was appropriate. Universities changed overnight from bastions of free speech, thought and open-minded philosophy, to Leftist indoctrination centers. I witnessed that happening during that time. There were literally instructors in unrelated fields who would penalize anyone who was not willing to parrot the Leftist dogma, and I nearly failed several courses like that, even though I went into those courses with an overall 4.88 out of 5.0.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 5, 2020:

@jakuboj, Correct, sir. Most of us have never experienced the actual evidence of what fear does to our ability to reason; even to perceive. I have, and I fear that as much as I fear being liquified by ebola, because ebola will merely kill me (painfully). Being brainwashed will enslave me for the rest of my life. Fear effectively disables our pre-frontal cortex, which moderates our impulses. When that is disabled, every impulse gains expression, something like Tourets Syndrome. That makes even smart people behave as if they are in an angry mob. Very intelligent people can be intellectually reduced to morons by fear. Like hypnosis. And the more intelligent, the more their native intelligence is enrolled in service of the defense mechanisms that come up to cope with the fear. That makes even those who consider themselves good people especially dangerous in enrolling less intelligent people into their coping mechanisms. People like that were the officers in the Third Reich, taught to fear Jews. For most of us, we fear something based on something that happened to us long ago - say authority, and the defense to that is to disobey the law, which comes up when we become fearful. Even smart people are not immune to that when made to fear - especially without their knowledge. Fear has been generated by those trying to de-legitimize our Constitutional government by destabilizing it with an endless barrage of things intended to terrify different people, eventually to cover all fears and all people: Global Warming, fascism, the economy, Trump and Russia, racism, the police, pandemics...even the goal of destabilization of our government serves to make us fearful. My advantage is that I am aware of what they are doing, and fear the consequences of that more than any of the fears they are creating.

Good observation. When the truly deadly one finally assaults humankind, there will be no debate. There will be people dying in the streets, and every other one of us will be among them. Even the Spanish Flu, which killed maybe 50 million people, was not as bad as it could have been - and by the way, and no one locked anything down. I hope that never happens. If it happens next year, I will not be surprised if a bunch of those responsible for THIS lockdown are removed from office with prejudice, if not already dead. And if not in office, are tarred and feathered and run out of town (by those of us still alive to do it.)

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 4, 2020:

@TyKC, Odd. It came up for me. Here it is. Your credibility with me is nearing zero. Masks don’t work – a review of science relevant to Covid-19 social policy vanessa beeley / 2 weeks ago By Denis Rancourt, PhD Masks and respirators do not work. There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles. Furthermore, the relevant known physics and biology, which I review, are such that masks and respirators should not work. It would be a paradox if masks and respirators worked, given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle. The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history. Review of the Medical Literature Here are key anchor points to the extensive scientific literature that establishes that wearing surgical masks and respirators (e.g., “N95”) does not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness: Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) “Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial,” American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 – 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002 N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in HCW was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds. Cowling, B. et al. (2010) “Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: A systematic review,” Epidemiology and Infection, 138(4), 449-456. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/face-masks-to-prevent-transmission-of-influenza-virus-a-systematic- review/64D368496EBDE0AFCC6639CCC9D8BC05 None of the studies reviewed showed a benefit from wearing a mask, in either HCW or community members in households (H).

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 4, 2020:

@TyKC Irresponsible? In your expert opinion? Geneticists who have analyzed the gene sequence of SARS COV2, which causes COVID-19, are confident of three facts: 1.There are no markers which are unavoidable when genes are spliced (engineered). 2. The forensic path clearly shows a very old gene sequence consistent with a path through bats found in China, but no where near Wuhan. 3. A much more recent forensic path in the gene sequence of the virus shows that it went through the pangolin before jumping to humans. [virological.org] The R-nought value of SARS COV2 is 5.7 in 2.5 days, which tells us that the entire globe was exposed to the virus long before the West was even aware of its existence in China.* And that means social distancing and masks were an attempt to prevent exposure that had already happened. [healthline.com] Furthermore, 99% of those the virus kills are smokers and people of any age with serious pre-existing conditions. Its possible that the remaining 1% also have pre-existing conditions that are undiagnosed. This is why populations with high concentrations of smokers and illnesses, like Italy, have higher mortality rates than countries like Sweden. The numbers are still consistent partly because of the unusually long latency of SARS COV2. And partly because other things are still getting them. See "Multiple Conditions Increase Risk." [informationisbeautiful.net] So with a case base that could be 2000 times greater than reported right now, that makes the virus 2000 times less dangerous - far less than the common flu. SARS-COV2 is less dangerous to healthy people than driving. Not a very effective biological weapon. Doctors think no disease should be acceptable. And as medical doctors, they may be ignorant of the consequences of political decisions. Does COVID-19 kill people? Yes. The same people who doctors like Dr Fauci should expect to be taken out by the flu and pneumonia, etc, because of other infirmities, every year. 2,046,549 people died in the US last year of all causes except suicide. No special measures. 80,000 died of the flu in 2018, 116,000 in 1957 - when the population was 172 million, which makes it equivalent to 220,000 today, and we did not lockdown. Typically more than three times that die of tuberculosis and Hep A, than the flu every year. Headlines? Nope. Around 128,000 are now listed here as dying of COVID-19 in the US, almost all of whom could have been listed as dying of their pre-existing conditions. Most would have been listed as something else in any other year. Flu cases are below the baseline this year, according to the CDC. Fishy? Yep. Are the Chinese making the most of all of this? Of course they are. They are pretty good at strategic planning, but it doesn't mean they orchestrated this, sorry. ...

@JATW. I have met Liddy, and know that he WOULD have jumped under the bus for Nixon, but Dean accused Liddy of masterminding the break-in. That left him free to sue Dean. Look up the transcript. That testimony is now a matter of record in the law. And that includes the truth that Nixon knew nothing about the break-in until afterward. Nixon's response to try to control the damage by changing the optics was unfortunate, and bad judgment. And the media becoming drunk with the the ability to speak "truth to power," magnified that poor decision and amplified it far beyond the truth. Just as they are today against Trump. The media surely knew about the testimony then, and said nothing. They know that the harassment against a sitting president is both happening and illegal and they are saying nothing about the fabricated assertions, because they have part in it. The media is jeopardizing its special relationship of the 4th Estate in American politics. The truth will be known eventually, and there will be consequences.

Most of society believes this stuff, partly because the media has signed onto it. The media is owned and directed by the Left. And the dumber half of the country desperately needs someone to tell them what to think. The Left is only too happy to sell them their agenda for destruction of the Constitution. And the dumber half of the country doesn't see it coming. Our original Constitution made it impossible for the Left and Democrats to assimilate enough power to do this. When they damaged the Constitution with Wickard v Filburn in 1942, a vast unaccountable Federal bureaucracy was born, much like the Soviet apparatus, that began to control every aspect of our lives. The damage was completed in Obamacare. Some of have seen this. Much of the country is still unaware, and won't get it until the death squads come.

That's 220,000 for an engineer like me. I don't know how you do math. The rate per million remains the same with my numbers, and it is higher than COVID-19. We did nothing then, and the flu passed in about 3 months. We are extending it now, so more people with pre-existing conditions are dying now than happens when there is a shorter duration.

The only sources that claim the President has not kept his promises are the media. And they are not correct. The New York Times proudly reported the 87% of the media are Democrats around 1990, and a more recent study claims it is 93%. How do you think that plays out? This President has kept more promises than almost any president in history. The exceptions may be be Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan. Check his record of proclamations against his campaign speeches. And don't blame what he can't do on the President, when Congress has the power to make law, not the President. Congress has hijacked the Constitution, and now we are a nation of people almost totally controlled by an unaccountable Federal Bureaucracy. And the Deep State is an ad-hoc collection of appointees by Democrats like Carter, the Clintons, and Obama, who are not loyal to the Constitution, the President or the people. The President is almost totally alone against them, has limited power to identify and replace them, and many Republicans have been convinced that abandoning Constitutional principles is the only thing that will keep them in office and ironically still allow them to defend what is left of Constitutional principles. If we, the people, don't stand up for defending the Constitution, we will continue to slide into the chaos created by the Democrats, as their most sure path to preserving their power.

The SCOTUS apparently realized that even though they were in a Faustian dream of madness, that they might be in trouble, and in 1942, in the case Wickard v Filburn, they decided against farmer's rights to grow whatever they decided, and a massive Federal Bureaucracy grew from that, justified by the new powers of the FDA. Ask any farmer still alive today who remembers. They will speak of visceral hate for FDR. Most people, like you, are totally unaware of how Constitutional principles have been picked apart by the Democrats, and that the lack of public awareness of the inherent beauty and importance of the Constitution left Republicans alone in the battle to defend it. One result is that many "Republicans" are not holding to the platform to defend the Constitution, because the public is so ignorant, that they know that to stay in office, they must moderate to the more modern "feelings" about government; that is is powerful and the source of our salvation: a concept that is exactly the opposite of Constitutional principles.

Sure, lets get rid of government. We humans are above reproach, and so noble, and uncorruptible and peaceful. (Sarcasm) After all, its not like war has never ended for the history of humanity, and that we need some kind of agency to protect ourselves from each other, is it? Oh, wait, war ...

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 3, 2020:

@dd54. How disappointing. I did propose a solution: Restoration of the Constitution. People like Hillsdale college have many free online courses on Constitutional principles. Speaking of distractions. Claiming that the REAL issue is "who owns us" is a red herring. The Declaration of Independence says: " "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." Where in God's creation do you get slavery out of that????

It has occurred to me, there are some who believe the only way to peace is violence and chaos.

A strong defense and the ability and the projected will to use it when necessary is the only way to preserve the peace. Evil people interpret your ideas as weakness and vulnerability and emboldens them to act

@maxmaccc, Confirmation bias. I try not to engage in discussion with anyone with whom I am unlikely to learn anything. I am hearing a bunch of jargon from you, accusations without proof, and not much that is true or interesting. Try making the argument instead of focusing on slandering those making a point.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 3, 2020:

@maxmaccc. Not defining them. Siting history. Whatever you think they are, violence is their signature throughout history. Every generation promises it will be different and it never is. From your comments I guess you are part of the latest generation who believes leftists are actually non-violent. In their intentions, no doubt. But they ALL share the same lack of foresight of what history clearly proves: Their desire to "win" at all costs, means one of the costs eventually is the lives of those who disagree.

TimTuolomne replies on Jun 29, 2020:

@GTShaw, No intelligent person makes generalizations like that of whole groups. Our Constitution defines justice on an individual basis, because the basis of the wisdom of the Great Philosophers was that justice is individual. You are prejudiced, which is an irrational judgement of culture based on fear. Get counseling.

TimTuolomne replies on Jun 29, 2020:

Good points David. Even some highly intelligent people are unable to use their intelligence, because most of us (of any intelligence) have suffered trauma that has arrested our emotional development. When we are locked into a coping mechanism and no longer mentally flexible about how we deal with the World, whatever intelligence we have then serves that pathology. Leftist leadership tend to be heavily weighted by individuals like this who are locked into a victim mentality. And they are happy to direct others who are unsure of what they believe to do whatever it takes, including make war, to build their utopia - regardless of what history has proved.

TimTuolomne replies on Jun 29, 2020:

It is correct that the dumber half of the IQ curve desperately seek someone to tell them how to think about the World. But the group that has been delighted to do so is the general media, which is owned and managed by a few individuals who are avowed socialists. Easy to look this up. A fraction of them happen to be of the Jewish faith - although I seriously doubt that is significant. For devout Jews who follow the Torah, one of the central concepts is to carefully manage resources, and promote the growth of the economy. So it would be totally inconsistent for devout Jews to be destructive of the economy. I think you will be unable to provide credible evidence that individuals who are devout Jews have any interest in directing the dumber half of society to do anything in particular.

WRONG, on both counts, I've been wearing a mask for 18 years, ever since nearly dying from THE SARS VIRUS I caught in 2002, and thanks to wearing a mask, I haven't had a cold or the flu or a virus in all those years. I'll stick to my mask, at least I know they work and are safer than any other ...

TimTuolomne replies on Jun 28, 2020:

So wearing a mask works for you, and that's good. We need to know alternatives to that point of view, so thank you. And it doesn't work for most others for the reasons stated in the post.

Tempting to just let them win and find out how wrong they are, isn't it? I fear they will never know as long as they have us to blame for what they do not realize is not working in their philosophy. But they must win. We don't have to win. We only have to stalemate them. In politics, that is better than Checkmate. Think about it.
