The Dog That Hasn't Barked

@var2000 @herotimeszero I'm sure Michael thinks assaulting police officers is acceptable as long as the culprit does it with a Trump flagpole. Otherwise, it's bad

This fucking UFC disgrace in front of the Lincoln Memorial is the worst thing to happen to him since he was shot in the head. If you’re not embarrassed and ashamed by this, you’re a goddamned idiot. The world laughs at us, when they aren’t pitying us.

[Scott Burchill @IRanalyst]

Trump has not suddenly turned the US into a plutocracy.

What he has done, and we should be grateful to him for doing it, is strip away the thin and false democratic veneer to reveal to everyone how the country is actually run by a small group of wealthy elites.

There is nothing new about the workings of power in the US today. It's just that Trump doesn't make any effort to conceal the corruption, protection rackets, privileges and the illusion that the two party system provides voters with meaningful political choices.

In fact he genuinely believes that the presidency constitutes a personal right to enrich himself and his family, both during his time in office as the ultimate insider trader, and afterwards.

It is possibly the only thing he is more honest about than his predecessors.

I cannot unsee this.
I've been watching Trump answer questions for years. The confidence. The certainty. The way he shuts down a room. I genuinely thought he was one of the sharpest communicators alive.
Then one day I caught myself finishing his sentence before he said it.
Not guessing. Knowing. Word for word. Before he said it.
So I pulled the transcripts.
Press conferences. Interviews. Sprays. Egg prices. Greenland. January 6th. Military strikes. Different years. Different reporters. Completely different topics.
Same thing every time.
Every single time Trump is asked a question — any question — he runs the exact same 7 steps. In the exact same order. Without exception.
This is not personality.
This is not confidence.
This is not charisma.
This is a deliberate repeatable formula. And I can prove it.
His actual words. Public record. Verify every single one yourself.
📷 STEP 1 — KILL THE QUESTION
(First thing every time — make the question itself the problem.)
📷 "That's a stupid question." / "Fake news."
📷 STEP 2 — KILL WHO ASKED IT
(Destroy the source so the question has nowhere to stand.)
📷 "Your ratings are terrible. Nobody watches your network."
📷 STEP 3 — INSERT HIMSELF
(Every topic. Every time. Without fail. It always lands here.)
📷 "Nobody has ever done what I've done."
📷 STEP 4 — SCALE IT TO THE BIGGEST CLAIM POSSIBLE
(Not good. Not great. The greatest. Ever. In history. Every single time.)
📷 "More than any administration — by far." / "Nobody has ever had crowds like I've had — in history, for any country."
📷 STEP 5 — UNNAMED PEOPLE AGREE
(Faceless. Countless. Unverifiable. Always there.)
📷 "Smart people are saying it. Great people. A lot of people."
📷 STEP 6 — VAGUE THREAT
(Something bad will happen. Never specified. Always implied.)
📷 "All hell will break out." / "They know it. Believe me."
📷 STEP 7 — LOOP BACK TO HIMSELF
(Different words. Same destination. Formula complete.)
📷 "It's been an amazing period of time. Page after page of accomplishments."
The question was never answered.
The formula just ran.
Go back and watch any clip.
Any year. Any topic. Any reporter.
Count the steps.
I'll wait.
This is the part nobody wants to sit with:
Real conviction engages with the actual question. It sometimes stumbles. Sometimes says I don't know. It changes shape based on what's in front of it.
A formula runs the same 7 steps whether the topic is war or egg prices.
Which means the response was never built for the question.
It was built for you.
To feel powerful. To feel certain. To stop you from noticing that nothing was actually answered.
And it worked.
For years it worked.
Pull any transcript. Public record. Count the steps yourself.
This isn't about politics.
This is about what you were never supposed to notice.
I've found the same deliberate pattern running in another major figure in this administration. Different slots. Same principle. Same effect.
Next post I break it down.
Follow or miss it. VIA~~ Jamie Hoo

Q: Can I cross out Donald Trump's signature on every new currency bill I receive?

A: You can cross out or draw on a US dollar bill and it's still legal tender, provided more than 50% is intact and it isn't so defaced that its value or security features are unidentifiable

[Xteve Xediman @criticmann]

"Don't worry . . . In fact, make this one for Jesus," Trump pontificated today.

For years, I've said the current division in America is between folks who think Trump is a deranged criminal, and those who think he's Jesus Christ. This cinches it

Six years ago today - the last day of school as we knew it . . .

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

6 years ago today, we were told to take our laptops home for no reason.
Friday March 13th, at 11:30am, we received an email telling us why.

I expect Trump to "Bring Back Leaded Gasoline" soon!
Ignoring the proven health dangers from breathing airborne lead particles (esp. for kids), Trump will say smoother rides for our big USA cars is needed NOW! Like no one has ever seen before . . .

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Donald Trump hates Democrats. He also hates Republicans. He hates generals. He hates journalists. He hates Democracy. He hates equality. More than anything, he hates the Rule of Law.
You know what else he hates? He hates his followers. In fact, they disgust him.
He has no love, empathy, or positive counterbalance. Only cravings and impulse. Pure self. Pure id.
You couldn't build a worse person in a laboratory.

@QueenMAGAUltra @JimBurns525 @philipglass Yes - yer hero Trump is so great that the only way millions of us could disagree is that we have a disease.
THAT sounds like six year old thinking (I'm a 64 year old parent). Cooties?

It's evil noticing that Trump whines about how wronged he is EVERY DAY? Prove me wrong. Crybaby

[Xteve Xediman @criticmann]

@QueenMAGAUltra @JimBurns525 @philipglass And let's face it - Trump's the biggest crybaby in history!
Waaa Waaa - fake polls, rigged election, crooked judges, blind umpire, crooked juries, where's my Nobel (sic) Nobody loves me - waaaaaaaaa

@catturd2 A great composer and musician. And you are?

[Xteve Xediman @criticmann]

@QueenMAGAUltra @JimBurns525 @philipglass His spitefulness has nothing to do with his music - and it's a shame people will miss out on his work because of King Trump's war on culture.

If the Kennedy Center can do better than Glass, I'd go. But not for Kid Rock, if that's who you meant
