If you are gonna fact check all Trumps lies you will need a full time
staff, and a two hour show dedicated to it each day. Trump can actually
lie faster than he can talk. He lies just because he can't help
himself, not that he wants to, but he is a compulsive -- that's
COMPULSIVE liar. He lies even when it makes no sense, even when it
makes no difference to anyone, even when it's against he own best
interests. He is the ultimate sock puppet, the ultimate distraction for
the profit of the people that have gained the largest transfer of
wealth in American history. Guess who that would be? Really -- guess.
One person it ain't for sure, is you, and 99 percent of his rube
supporters. The Conman in Chief: the punishment inflicted on America
by the insanely greedy upper upper, who he has tried to get to keep
supporting him with dark money and tactics, by giving them windfall
after windfall, and his base of political support: his insanely
credulous know-less-than-nothing supporters -- along with the flock of
scum-bag sycophant enablers that lick his butt. If you ain't sick to
the point of gagging, of ALL TRUMP ALL THE TIME -- then you're probably
too dumb to know you're stupid, . . . or very rich.

he USA is not a democracy. It was never intended to be a democracy by the founders. It is a constitutional republic, which is a form of government designed to present the illusion of democracy to the populace while keeping real power and wealth in the hands of a few families and power elite plutocrats.
This may or may not be a good thing.
A real direct democracy, which is only evident in a few regions of Switzerland and nowhere else in the world, or history, would be a catastrophe in a culture which is most typified by it's public information being basically one or another narratives that are actually partisan webs of lies, as are evident in all our mass media venues.
You cannot have an effective democracy when there are no controls on the dissemination of disinformation and false narratives, by corporations chasing advertising revenues and scoundrels seeking power.
To think this will ever amount to anything other than the hodgepodge of insanity that is our public forum of debate is itself insane. It's time to grow up and wrest the sinews of our culture from the vision-less power seekers who control it. Human culture must evolve to propel humanity into it's possible golden destiny on earth and among the stars.
It is time to seriously move toward a culture that is a true meritocracy, a neoConfusian techno-meritocracy where there are government upgrades and not elections. Time to give up the old paradigms which are based on war and campaigns, deceit, and the scum rising to the top.
We have the technology and science to design a system that can truly determine the best candidates for positions of collective responsibility, by extreme and unbiased vetting, background checks, psychological tests, judgement evaluations by performance in intelligence tests and virtual scenarios, evaluation of past performance, sophistication of problem solving abilities and other verifiable objective methods rather than the standards now in use, (sex appeal, appearance, psychopathic tendencies, the ability to lie convincingly, what family you were born into, the animal lust to pursue power and how much you promise to steal for or from the one percent.)
Also there must be consequences for the dissemination of disinformation and conspiracy fantasies in mass media. I suggest caning and banishment after the confiscation of all wealth.

This is great on one hand and it is total bullshit on another. The world has to step up in Ukraine. The entire world is being held hostage by nuclear blackmail. It is the biggest bluff of all history. Russia will not use nukes unless Russia is attacked within it's boarders. When asked if he would respond in kind to a nuclear barrage that hit Russia if, it's response would end human civilization Putin responded, "Of course, what would the world be without Russia?" The correct answer to that question is: "Better". The world would be a better place for everyone without Russia, and though they don't know or won't admit it, it would be a better place for Russians most of all. Why have the leaders in the free world lost their balls, especially Germany, remember the wall, you gutless German leaders, remember the Berlin crisis, were would you be today if the free world had not defied the soviets? Still in hell eating bowls of tears that's where.

News flash: CNN, MSNBC, and the usual suspects report:. . . In the primary
race between Sanders and Buttigieg, Pete came in second over all, while
Sanders came in next to last.
Democracy and the so called representative democracy, democratic republic or constitutional republic are very different things.
They are forms of democracy. In most cases minus the democracy part. When people blithely state that we live in a democracy it is incorrect and misleading, like most of the paradigms that the public is continually bombarded with via the corporate news.
A republic is just a way for the plutocrats to stay in power and still have people think they are in a participatory democracy. The only democracy in US government is is that of congress, and they are 98% owned by the power-elite that decide who will run and fund their reelection campaigns with the legalized bribes of their campaign contributions.
There is representation, but not for you and me. We live in a farce. Are you not paying attention? Do you think that this cheating is something new? Your "representatives" are not there to represent you, they are there for the most part to make sure that the voices of the people never get heard, and if they get heard to never be acted upon. Or if they are once in a blue moon forced by popular uprising to act for the people, soon as the masses disperse they will dismember the body that threatened their power one discontent at a time, jailed, disappeared, or simply smeared and ignored by the corporate media. Have you not been present? Look around. . . .
Real democracy, true democracy exists nowhere on earth other than present day Switzerland and never has (that I am aware of). Representative democracy is a convoluted fraudulent conception. Democracy is something that we are continually told we have, which we do not.
We have democracy in the same sense that the slaves, women, citizens without land, and foreigners had a democracy in the golden age of Athens. Only they knew that they did not have a vote or any real participation in the government. Most Americans do not know that.
It should be obvious to anybody with the slightest ability to perceive what is actually going on that this is a conceptual illusion that is used to mislead and quell the disenfranchised mob. Bring on the super-delegates, the Iowa national delegate formula, the electoral collage, the PACz and Citizens United -- a democracy would not abide these contaminants, or entertain their adoption for even a moment.
A democracy and the state we live in are two very different things. In a democracy the one with the most votes is not the loser like in the USA. The courts have decided that even determination of who will be the candidates, such as occurs in the legendary smoke filled rooms of the DNC and RNC has no legal obligation to be fair or democratic in our two party system. . . . ???????
We live in a kleptocracy with a democratic shroud over it, and most people, like almost all people, do not understand how their rights and money are being stolen from them by corporate pilferage and plunder. In fact our present government is functionally a cryptofascist kleptocracy in which all real power, control of the men with guns and uniforms, the state, and the economy is held by a small group of lying psychopaths. Like Robert Mercer,, the Koch brother, Bezos and the mob of banksters that suck up the wealth of the nation like vampires and offer nothing but bullshit and corruption in return.
And you CNN, are a big part of it. In fact people will come to recognize that you are a key member of the new axis of evil. FaceBook -- Buttigieg -- CNN

These "news people" are shameless. It is so obvuous that Bloomburg has some of then co-opted. Money talks and Bloomburg's money also tips.
Did you see the debate? If so why would you care what these people think? They are all elitists, some of them are nice elitists, but come on. they have been dismissing Bernie since the get go and now are being forced to admit the reality.
What is the reality? The reality is that Bernie is not only the most popular senator, not only the most popular politician in Congress, not only the most popular politician in the Country he is the most popular politician in the world -- because thinking and compassionate people the world over are praying that the USA will come out of this movement into unconsciousness and the promotion of a policies based on primitive emotions and knee-jerk reactions will come to an end. They know they need us, and they need us sane and humane if civilization is going to have any chance of surviving the psychopaths that have gotten themselves into positions of power via charisma and cunning.
To these "journalists" this is a game that pays more money, the more stupid things they can say about it.
This is not a game. If the right-wing nuts like Mercer, and his flunkies, like Trump, maintain the reigns of power: your are getting a deal on a squirt gun while your house is in a fire storm of lies and disinformation, on subjects that will determine the lives of your children and perhaps yourself.
End this insanity. Pick the right man for a change, not the richest, the best connected or the one that lies best, choose who you actually think is the best. . . not the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is the choice that Goldman Sachs and the other banksters will give you.
This is your one chance in your lifetime to vote for a real person who is not a cats paw for elements of corruption.
It's not a sexy subject but it you pay attention, Bernie knows how important it is to get money out of elections.
How important is it? It is the most important issue. It is the basis of the legalized bribery that insures that you elected official are there: not to represent the voice of the people, no, rather they are there to make sure that the voice of the people never gets a hearing, and if by some chance on some issue it does get a hearing they will make sure it is never acted upon.
Don't be fearful and full of hate, humanity has a golden destiny that has been stolen from the many by the few. It is time to wake up and clarify our nation's values once more. Not in meaningless word or deceitful narratives designed to seduce by playing to fears and greed. We cannot move into the new age using a rear-view mirror for a guidance system. Don't be afraid, Bernie's views and positions are not more radical than the Scandinavian views and practices and even the vaunted quality of upward social mobility is higher in all of them then it is here. Not to mention personal happiness and financial security and safety. Don't let the people who own the media make you paranoid. They have a greedy reason for misrepresenting the fact as did Boomburg tonight with is talk of communism and such. It's just ridiculous that he could stand there and insult the public's intelligence so blatantly. Fear not, feel the Bern.
