Jawbreaker
I've been listening to bullshit on the news about how Trump will be making a grave error if he withdraws U.S. troops from Syria. He tweeted a short while back that we've defeated ISIS there. The reason he wanted U.S. forces to stay in Syria was because of the war with ISIS. That done, according to him, it's time to get out.
Setting aside his simplistic way of presenting details, he's right about getting out of Syria, unless one is of the opinion that seven years of fucking with a country that never attacked us is something we need to keep doing. Hillary Clinton, one of the country-fuckers of Syria in particular, scolded Trump via tweet, claiming that "Empowering ISIS is dangerous."
She should know. Large amounts of guns and money entered Syria from the United States while Clinton was Secretary of State and Barack Obama was President. These two helped arm "rebels" in the Syrian Civil War, favoring anyone, and I mean anyone, who sought to defeat Syrian government forces led by Bashar al-Assad. Al-Qaeda groups and ISIS received weapons in these transfers. ISIS, opposed to Assad, is an American ally, at least some of the time. America arms those in Syria that used to be regarded as the enemy, the ones who, according to the official version, struck the U.S. on 9/11.
By speaking out against ISIS and against Assad (who fights ISIS) we know that the official position of U.S. luminaries like Hillary Clinton is a contradictory one that only makes sense if Clinton and other power brokers like her want war in Syria for war's sake; plus, Russia's presence there adds to the enticement since Russia is allegedly our adversary. The belief, held by many liberals, that Hillary Clinton would've made a better president than Trump, never takes into account the vast numbers of Arabs she's willing to see shot and blown up in order to fulfill the unpublished agendas of the scum who rule the planet.
Ironically, Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton's friend and one of the above-mentioned scum, reportedly speaks on the phone a few times a month with Trump, acting as an unofficial advisor. I suspect he's done this with all presidents since he left office when Ford stepped down.
Cable news talkers speak out against Trump's Syria decision. He also wants to remove U.S. troops from Afghanistan. These could be savvy decisions on his part, relating to his reelection campaign. Our many wars are not popular. On the streets, demonstrations haven't started yet, which is amazing considering seventeen years of this counterproductive shit has been going on, with war profiteering flying high and the Grim Reaper always having work to do. Still, the glow of craving revenge felt by about ninety percent of Americans (for the record, not by me) in the aftermath of 9/11, resulting in the popularity of the pulverization of Afghanistan and majority-approval for the destruction of Iraq, has faded, replaced by preoccupation with domestic economic matters.
People are sick of this country sucking, economically. Cable news liars speak warmly of the stock market, how the economy is "booming." For a pundit on CNBC the economy is great, because that person has a lot of money. Michelle Obama is doing really well, and in spite of her reputation as a decent human being, I don't hear her talking about the plight of America's poor, or homeless veterans of twentieth-first century wars. She has talked about the candy handed to her by George W. Bush at his father's funeral, how the two of them have become friendly. She doesn't explain how she's able to stomach the company of a man who's killed about a million people, but her strength in that matter could be linked to her sharing a bed with a man who blew up little children with drone strikes. If she's fine with that, more power to her monstrousness, a sickness feeding the news media, their employees impressed and moved by the Bush candy scene, inspiring ignorant Americans to feel the same way Germans in the 1930s felt when they saw footage of Hitler petting his dog.
The Clintons, the Obamas, the Bushes, they're all so polite to each other, unlike that fucker Trump, who, whatever his motivations, wants to end America's participation in a war fought in a country occupied illegally by U.S. troops in support of the kinds of people we used to call terrorists.

Let's Be Nice
We are a War State. The President of the United States is routinely referred to by his special title, Commander-in-Chief, as in Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Armed Forces, a man with Ares enveloping him in strong arms, directing his reason, convincing him to wipe out innocent people without consideration for their rights, which amount to nothing when compared to the rights of corporations and those who guide them.
So far, men have wielded this power. Women will have their turn and won't hesitate to kill. Chris Matthews of Hardball, a "tough-talking" news program airing five days a week on MSNBC, had as his guest Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat about whom 2020 presidential race scuttlebutt has moved like a vapor. Asked the usual question framed like, "Hey maybe you're going to run for president," Klobuchar smiled, resembling a high school English teacher, but one with excellent government-provided health insurance and a yearly salary at least three times that of a teacher.
She dodged the question. Matthews remarked that he likes her sense of humor. Shitty journalist that he is, he will snuggle up inside the rectums of almost any politician. He complimented her on her Minnesota accent. He often makes movie references. I suspect he's seen and enjoyed Fargo, with its woman sheriff speaking with a thick Minnesota inflection. Klobuchar, like the sheriff, must be, in Matthews' mind, down to earth, the kind of woman who makes her own coffee and scrambles her own eggs. She's changed lots of diapers. She knows how to drive stick. She has a no nonsense approach to judging matters of justice and law. A Democrat, she respects dead Republicans.
Klobuchar's exchange with Brett Kavanaugh about his drinking habits "went viral." She asked if he had blackouts when he drank in high school and college. He retorted, "Have you?!" She got him back by sharing with the world her still-living father's struggles with alcoholism, eliciting an apology from Kavanaugh, who probably felt he had to publicly apologize or maybe he wouldn't get the Supreme Court job.
Klobuchar remarked to Matthews that being president necessitates having a sense of humor. She talked about civility, obviously referring to Donald Trump, who, whether Klobuchar acknowledges it or not, does have a sense of humor; it's usually at the expense of others--and, sometimes, himself. He's impolite, lacks the filter that properly raised people have, the thing that prevents them from ejaculating whatever observation occurs to them. If Klobuchar runs for president in 2019-2020, she'll learn Trump's nickname for her. Matthews concluded his interview by suggesting she come up with a nickname for him.
Mushroom Dick is an obvious choice.
The main focus of the interview was the death of former President George H.W. Bush, who expired, finally, on November 30, 2018, ninety-four years young. The entire weekend and some of the following two days have been replete with Bush-related programming on cable news and in the rest of the mainstream news media. As when Ronald Reagan died fourteen years ago, and as when John McCain died last August, the news coverage lied by omission repeatedly for days and nights. Bush, in CNN's Chris Cillizza's view, was "the anti-Trump."
In my view, an anti-Trump is a poor woman who has to work shitty jobs all of her life, has no insurance, maybe is married, but only once, is humble, and thinks and feels for others. Cillizza, though, thinks in terms of power, for he, like Chris Matthews, is a kiss-ass to power. America, the great nation that it was, and in some ways still is, has achieved about the same level of self-inflicted slavery in its fourth estate as that of Nazi Germany's Ministry of Propaganda. To be a journalist in America today, to be well-paid and compensated in the mainstream, means to look away from what's actually happening. How else to explain the past few days of Bush 41 worship?
Amy Klobuchar, opposed to Trump, and part of the civility club running Washington and news organizations, had nothing but praise for the elder Bush president, finding eager agreement in Chris Matthews. She and numerous other politicians, pundits, and journalists spoke joyfully of Bush's gentility, his graciousness, his gentlemanly conduct, contrasting his cultivated behavior with the odious Trump.
Decorum is the concern of people who don't have real problems.
Not mentioned by any mainstream figure, at least in my samples of news broadcasts and in the written offerings of corporate news media, are Bush's crimes against humanity; his racism (the campaign '88 Willie Horton ad which Bush never apologized for, as well as his escalation of the War on Drugs, i.e. War on People of Color); his invasion of Panama to arrest his former CIA asset, with the resultant mass murder of around 3,000 civilians; his lies that got the U.S. into the Gulf War, resulting in the utter destruction of Iraq's infrastructure and the killings of, ultimately, over a million people; his participation in the illegal arming and funding of the Contras and his obstruction of justice in the official investigation; his pardoning of six prominent Iran-Contra Affair officials, enabling him to avoid testifying in one of their upcoming, but cancelled due to the pardon, trials.
You can look great on the surface and still be a nasty son of a bitch with an evil heart that beats on and on for ninety-four years, while hundreds of thousands of hearts have stopped beating because of your deeds, orders, manipulations, lies, and amoral thirst for power at any cost. That's George Herbert Walker Bush, and in his corrupted spiritual vileness of being willing to snuff out life on a vast scale, smash dreams, and ruin whole nations, he is just like Donald Trump.
Open your eyes, Amy Klobuchar.
