America, You're Fired!
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
Before leaving the house early one morning in 63 BC, an anxious Julius Caesar told his mother, “Today thou shalt see thy son either pontifex maximus… or an exile.”
Caesar was running for his first BIG elected office- pontifex maximus, the high priest of Rome. And he was a young upstart at the time.
His opponents were all older, more reputable men. And his chances were low.
But Caesar had an ace up his toga. Since he couldn’t win on merit, he planned to buy the election, blowing ridiculous sums of money to butter up the voters.
He spent lavishly on games, gifts, and feasts. And he borrowed nearly all of the funds to do it.
This was an enormous risk for him; if Caesar lost the election, he wouldn’t have been able to repay his financiers, and likely would have fled the city.
Caesar had borrowed so much money, in fact, that he single-handedly depleted cash reserves among Rome’s major lenders, causing a significant bump in interest rates.
Cicero remarks on this in a letter to a friend, writing: “Bribery’s thriving… the interest rate has doubled.”
Of course, it wasn’t technically ‘bribery’.
Ancient Rome had a very fine line between bribing voters (known as ‘ambitus’), and simply being a generous guy (‘benignitas’). Caesar insisted he was the latter.
When the votes were finally counted (or not counted), Caesar was declared the winner, thus continuing the long-standing tradition of buying your way into office and rewarding your benefactors with political favor.
* * *
He wasn’t the first to do this. And he certainly wouldn’t be the last.
In the Land of the Free today, the modern scion of the Republic, very little has changed from Ancient Rome.
One primary difference is that rather than spending campaign money on gifts and games to entertain voters, the election itself has become the entertainment.
Presidential races today are nothing more than a two-year, multi-billion dollar circus performance.
Mainstream election coverage already ranks among the most banal reality television, focusing on scandal, conflict, one-liner zingers, and hairstyle choices.
And now that Donald Trump has entered the race, the 2016 Presidential election will assuredly become the Greatest Show on Earth.
I can just imagine the media eating up his witty use of the phrase “You’re Fired” in campaign speeches that refer to his opponents.
But perhaps it’s America that’s fired.
Sure, you get to engage in the most demeaning exercise of casting a ballot so that one of these people can steal half of your money and use it to make you less free.
They call that ‘voting,’ and we’re told it’s our civic duty. But it’s just an illusion.
Just like in Caesar’s time, the election will go to the people who spend the most money.
But I’m not talking about the candidates. They’re just puppets. Entertainers.
I’m talking about the people who bankroll them.
These financiers have learned some valuable lessons since 63 BC: you never back just one horse.
Instead, they hedge their bets by heavily funding multiple candidates and buying influence over all of them.
One only need look at Hillary Clinton’s top donors to get a sense of who they are: Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc.
Anyone who strays from their interests has his/her funding cut and is pronounced ‘unelectable’ and ‘unpresidential’ early in the circus by the media ringmasters.
This makes voting nothing more than a pointless, demeaning illusion of choice between candidates who have already been preselected by their financial backers.
It reminds me of what it used to be like wandering down the grocery store’s cereal aisle when I was a kid.
Sure it seemed like there were a ton of options.
But when you really looked closely, you could see that all the products were all packed full of the same unhealthy chemical ingredients and GMO grains.
And only about three companies produced all of them– Kellogg’s, Post, and General Mills. Not much of a choice after all.
Yet people fall for this scam every single election cycle. They think that their vote matters, and then they go to the polls and ‘choose’ whoever has the best jump shot, or whoever promises them the most free stuff.
(Remember, it’s not bribery if a candidate is just being generous!)
Curiously the country always ends up worse than before– less free, and more broke.
If you really want to vote in a way that counts, you have two far more powerful ballots you can cast.
They’re called your feet.

If you vote you put your stamp of approval on the whole criminal corporatist oligarchy.
Trump blasts Krauthammer, Will as 'losers':
http://tinyurl.com/nwgpy7m
Amerikansky politik is doom.
Boris, welcome back!
They don't pay me... I don't vote. Waste of time.
Well, since the USSA is living on leverage and borrowed credit, why the hell not hire this fuck?
pods
Well, considering he probably has billions of the bank's money, I'm sure he's probably going to get the thumbs up. Not to mention many American's like him, so that could very well disturb some people indeed.
(From what I hear he has very strong ties to TPTB)
http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/donald-trump-running-to-be...
Trump will make the perfect President, He can declare the U.S. bankrupt....I heard he has some history with bankruptcy.
I say he should run for Prime Minister of Greece. Heck, even General Motors has been bankrupt fewer times than You're Fired.
And if you don't vote you are just the victim.
The problem is that there are few if any real solutions because ultimately our government pretty accurately reflects WHO WE ARE as a society. It would be nice to assume we were all just tragically fooled by some incredible liar, but most know the score. We vote, either at the ballot box or with our pockets, for what we want to believe. A vast amount of consumption in America is vanity based, about reinforcing or simply creating an image of ourselves that we want to believe, even if that means we are black when we are really white, or a women when we are really a man. Politicians are but one more salesman selling us the vision we most want to exist, and we will murder anyone who tries to counter it.
Allah is great and don't tell me he ain't.
I'm smart and good looking and everyone loves me.
I'm a pacifist and want everyone disarmed to fulfill my need for safety and security, besides creating the world that has never yet existed but is worth destroying everything to achieve.
No one should have to work....ever.
Everyone should have to work...forever.
What are they selling?
Whatever we are buying.
US citizens are naturally bent against truth. They refuse to leave the cocoon of fantasy they weave to shield them from reality.
The point is that in US citizenism, denial of facts is rewarded, denial of facts is monetized.
That is why debate is killed by US citizens. Debate as a means of investigating truth requires to accept facts. But US citizens always weight whether it is more profitable to deny or admit facts. If it is more profitable, they will deny.
Delusion: if US citizens knew the facts, they would change their mind and act accordingly with respect to truth, justice and freedom because US citizens are good people. So it is vital to give them information, teach them how the true from the fake etc...
Reality: US citizens are duplicitous. They are perfectly aware of what is going on. They support what is going because they benefit from it.
That is the magick. The greed for fantasy. The greed for delusion. The greed for duplicity...
Similar magick as selling infinitive growth, hard work and innovation drivels...
Works well too.
I agree, but the issue is not confined to US citizens. I would argue it's endemic to being a human being.
If the institution or system is criminal, participation in that institution or system, voting, is complicity. If that criminality is directed at you, it is also illogical.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Not going to the polls is like opting not to drive the getaway car for your robbers.
To vote or note to vote depends on office and district.
In some places (gerrymanded, e-ballots) in makes sense not to participate in the process at all.
Local elections may matter, and a vote might be legitimate say and voting a legitimate responsibility.
Sate elections-- probably less so.
Federal office-- likely not. Especially the popularity-contest for the Office of President.
The USA being comprised of a vast number of governments and governmental bodies, it serves to keep in mind that most politics are local, and not wise to simply proclaim "I hate the government." The government? Which one?
To vote or not to vote takes thought, let alone wether a candidate is worthy of support.
And please, if you do vote, never vote for the "lessor evil,"as this is how evil gains legitimacy and the implied consent of the governed!
Vote for the greater of evils. It will accellerate shit storm.
While I respectfully disagree with you, I must say great comment.
My extreme understanding of what government, the institution, is, aside, ALL governments in the DC US have been compromised by the DC US, and their Zionist masters--"Tyranny rolls down hill."
The DC US has used Zion's banksters' "printed" lucre to buy, manipulate, and extort the states, who then assist in doing same downward to the counties and municipalities. All of them are up to their eyeballs in hock to the banksters,and so quite motivated and compliant in dishing the necessary treason and tyranny in the service of that debt--"Eric Garner?
I wish to share a few antidotes from within the American country:
A friend of mine is a gun and badge thug. He and I have on several occasions discussed the direct and indirect funding, and resulting co-opting, of his, and all of the rest of the gun and badge citadels across the country--they have been federalized.
My father lives in a town of about 30/40 thousand. A couple of years ago the gun and badge thugs began to pull everyone over for the slimmest of reasons--got my dad 3 times in 5 days. Turns out that the town hall and thug citadel had been offered an additional grant from the Feds, via the state, if they showed increased roadside heists--ticket writing. They got to the treason with gusto.
One sees the federalization of the DC US via how every gun and badge thug citadel, from tiny burg to huge city, seem to behave in the same treasonous and tyrannical manner against the people. I am sure there are exceptions, but not enough.
A friend of mine, or ex-friend, owns a gas station in a town of about 50,000. He often complained about the county and town taxes and regs. Got himself "selected" to be on the town council. He then discovered that his primary duty was to keep the lucre flowing to the various thugs, crats and retirees, or be ousted. He chose to assist in the town's treason and tyranny so as to keep his position, and, I suppose, be able to influence and direct threats away from his business--be and an insider. He did not like my espousal about treason and tyranny that I attached to his behavior, and the unseemly intellectual mirror of himself that it kept him from burying. We seem to have become ex-friends as a result.
The DC US governmnet, from the town hall to the Potomac swamp, are nothing but criminal occupiers of the American country, and oppressors of the American people. They must be removed, Freedom and Liberty Restored, and then a government reconstituted within the Constitutional framework that is still the "Law of the Land."
Liberty is s demand. Tyranny is submission..
The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying, Stop Obeying, Stop Playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
--> Do not vote.
--> Selectively participate.
I agree with almost all of your points, but what I'm a bit hung-up on is your acknowledgement of excepitions (likely found in individual persons within government systems who are dissenting, resisting or otherwise bucking-the-trend from their official office) and part of your "Four Rs," specifically Rejection-- stop playing.
My question is, when should we withdraw our support from the electorial process itself, and so withdraw our consent or approval of the resulting government, even if this means not supporting candidates that could give voice and direct policies that may affect our well-being?
I am extremely against e-voting machines, as it's been repeatedly proven that these are easily hacked. So I see two choices:
Do not vote: participation-- zero. (You elected ones do not have our consent to govern us and do not have our approval to act in our name.)
Selectively participate-- paper ballot, voting in some races in which there is a candidate of which you approve, though participating in the process itself means accepting whatever the result of the race may be.
Thoughts?
"My question is, when should we withdraw our support from the electorial process itself..."
I cannot, and will not, answer that, as that is every individual American's responsibility to answer for themselves.
Americans do not need me, or anyone else, leading them, but only need to turn to the guy in the mirror for leadership. They then can join with like minded fellow Americans in moving in the direction needed to Restore the Constitutional republic to the American country and Restore prosperity to the American people.
I, and many others, can only act as guides, not leadership. We know which way and the destination, Liberty, but it is up to all of us together to traverse the wilderness and reach that destination. I, and many others, can also inform as to how, why, and who got us into the predicament, and who is responsible for plundering us, and due Trial and Retribution.
The foremost thing to keep in mind is that the Constitution is THE only potentially unifying goal that we, the American people, have. Without it, we will separate into factions and drift out into tyranny's storm to be swallowed by the seas of infighting, or dashed upon treason's rocks. Together, we can weather the storm, and Restore our Liberty, our freedom, and our humanity; Divided we fail and sink into to tyranny's abyss.
See you on the battlefield.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
As for voting, I used to dutifully go to the polls every sheeple-census, and cast an unmarked ballot. Basically a big "none of the above." Then I had a scary run in with a Shaniqua, and that was the end of that.
She got pissed that I was submitting a blank ballot, would not except that that was my "vote," and grew even more pissed when she threatened to call the gun and badge thugs, and I replied that I was going to have her arrested when they arrived for the at least three violations of the jurisdiction's voting laws, which I named off chapter and verse.
Another "election judge," a white guy, saved the day by just feeding my ballot into the machine, but that was the end of that for me. I don't mind dying in the mud of some battlefield for Liberty, but on the floor of a theater (poll) with niggers standing around me laughing is not a dignified way to go.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
The look in her eyes when I read off her voting law violations was priceless.
I loved Trump's opening speech where he slams immigrants to America, except for all those illegal or undocumented ones he hires --- like those two hundred undocumented Polish workers he hired to demolish a building for him.
What a pile of unmitigated crap!

Best thing Trump could do right now is replace that comb-over with a Caesar-cut.
Hey Trump.
You let your daughter marry a jew. A skank jew at that.
You're fired from the Amish farms!
So now you're going to marry every last 'merican to the jews so you can get your financing for your RE deals?
Nice.
Oh, I know this is not proper for an Amish man but since we're on http://www.zerohedge.com I must tell you:
FUCK YOU!
Vote for the most damaging president :)
It’s time for my gold and silver to bring me a profit before the currencies implode :)
We did that already. Give it time.
it is curious that some of these people even want to be president. Most of them aren't stupid, and have to know this house of cards is getting incresingly fragile. You would think theyd wanna watch from the sidelines so they can point figers. Personally, I wouldn't mind if bernie sanders won. He is a self avowed socialist, and his economic policies would doubtless bring about the collapse even quicker, and there would be no republican in office to point the finger at his nonexistant "free market Principles" being responsible. Nope, we had a socialist in office, since even though history is littered with failed socialist states, we insist on trying it anyway. This way, maybe everyone would finally learn that socialism doesn't fucking work. Most people seem to want a government that provides everything for them, which is what sanders promises. I feel like they deserve to get sanders-ed, and get it good and hard. Although since we tend to idolize liars and criminals and let our royal families literally get away with murder, I feel like clinton more accuratly respresents the american people
So, are they running because they truly think they can save the world, or is it about vanity and ego, or is it because they want to ensure the destructive path is retained to its desired conclusion?
Good post, but I must add on to it.
"Most people seem to want a government that provides everything for them, which is what sanders promises."
Let's face it, work is hard, and few people desire to work; Truly desire to work and produce.
Pols and crats desire as much for nothing as possible, and they know that most people are so inclined as well. However, pols and crats also desire that which cannot be produced, or fashioned from the earth, power. Power over their fellow man as a means to loot for their person, and swill for their egos.
So they promise that their robberies and violence are for the benefit of the people who desire it to be so, but are ignorant that they are the none the less paying in various and numerous ways. That not only are they receiving what was once theirs, and stolen away, but forgoing their soul in the bargain.
Ultimately the pols and crats run short of lucre, of those willing or able to work and produce while their efforts are so rapaciously pillaged; While leisurely consumption is demonstrably easier. Then the people must be shaken and turned upside down in the ever search for for coin and grain to feed the parasites, their buzzards, and the cockroaches they have entrapped.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
First and foremost axiom of pols and crats: They believe nothing. The more successful ones believe even less. They regurgitate and sell cover stories for their thefts, and the thefts of those actually paying them.
The (tentative) second axiom of pols and crats: Faith in and belief of a pol or crat is ferrying a scorpion across a stream on one's back.
You´re spoilt for choice if you want to do that
It is high time for a Charlie Sheen presidency.
That way, when he throws a party we'll have real whores in the White House.
My apologies to all respectable sex workers, this was used as a joke against political cretins.
I was proposing a Charlie Sheen/Rodney King for a long time. Then RK went swimming. They would do a lot less damage than the psychopaths we usually get.
Hillary Clinton / Rachel Dolezal

Yep, this election could turn out to be the highest rated reality T.V. entertainment event ever! Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
"Brought to you by Carl's Jr."
Do you get paid when you say that? I like money....
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......Your vote DOESN'T count..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Can you say: Electoral College?
The world is like a ride, in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down, and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud and it's fun. For a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?"
And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, and they say, "Hey, don't worry. Don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride."
And we . . . kill those people. Ha-ha!
"Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real."
It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And we let the demons run amok.
But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money.
[It's] a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride: Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world – which it would do many times over, not one human being excluded. And we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.
Thank you very much, you've been great. I've hoped you enjoyed it. You're fantastic! Thank you! Thank you very much. [Hicks then falls to the ground, as if he were dead.]

Social Security and related programs already take up 50-60% of all of America's budget. WOAR only takes up 20% or so.

War and destruction appears to be a necessary component of life on this planet. Humans have never existed without it. To eliminate war may be akin to eliminating the need to take a shit. It might not be survivable.
I agree, and I would take that assertion to the next level.
War and destruction are necessary to prove that Homo sapiens are worthy and capable of escaping the confines of Planet Earth. If we (as a species) are unable or unwilling to evolve to the point where we can explore and colonize the galaxy, then perhaps we are all doomed to extinction. A "failed experiment" in the cosmic scheme of things.
He knew he was dead, he knew Oswald didn't kill Kennedy, and he foretold his own demise. You can't get much more seminal than that.
If there is a life beyond this, I wanna sit down and smoke a joint with Bill Hicks.
You who have no understandinig, can fuck right off.
Understand? I laugh at you clueless motherfuckers!
What are you talking about? Your vote counts in certain states (CO, MO,MI, PA. OH. IA, FL, VA MD, NH.). If you live outside those states, your votes dont count in the next selection.
This guy totally lost his chances when making statements that all Latin Americans in the US are criminals or a problem.
Nah,
His 3 bankruptcies make him uniquely qualified.
All will be forgiven for the slight...
Well, except for that comb over, maybe.
How many of you down voters would go out and pick fruits and vegetables in the hot sun if you were unemployed? How many immigrants do you see begging for money on a street corner you lazy ass fucks?
Latitude25 How many of you down voters would go out and pick fruits and vegetables in the hot sun if you were unemployed? How many immigrants do you see begging for money on a street corner you lazy ass fucks?
Except for bananananas and grapefruit I grow and pick my own fruits and veggies when in season. Does that count?
yes
Latitude25 : How many immigrants do you see begging for money on a street corner you lazy ass fucks?
I see what you did there...... ;)
How people of any creed would be begging for money on a street corner if it were not profitable? How many would refuse to pick fruit if there were no "entitlements" to subsidize their idleness? Illegals are not privy to ALL of the entitlements afforded to citizens, but their access is growing, so soon, do not be surprised to see all races and cultures and "identities" standing on the corner.
Yes that was the idea.
History has proven that people of any race or culture will ultimately do even the most horrific things to survive. Picking fruit is NOTHING.
Have done it plenty of times over my life, Jackhole!
Suggest you visit some day labor shops across the country.
Have also been on quite a number of jobs when either a Mexican or South American walked off the job --- too dusty, too wet, too cold, etc.
Soooo....let's stop the US Chamber of Commerce bullshit already, huh?
On the West Coast --- San Diego, LA, Portland, Seattle --- quite a few, dood!
Come for a visit sometime -- but be sure to return to your cave, sonny.
Latitude25: This guy totally lost his chances when making statements that all Latin Americans in the US are criminals or a problem.
Food for thought
I. We have more Latin Americans housed in US prisons than LA's in prison in all of Latin America.
II. We've "imported" 1/4 of Mexico's population into USA in the last 30 years.
Just for your information net migration from Mexico is at zero
http://www.pewhispanic.org/2012/04/23/net-migration-from-mexico-falls-to...
Sure.

Sure, Latitude25, shit-for-brains, I believe anything the Pew oil sluts claim, and everything which comes out of the Pew-financed and Peterson Foundation-finaned New America Foundation, which is where I bet you get your paychecks from?
I'll vote for him just cuz he be the life of the final party. If there's anyone truly capable of getting us all smothered in nukes , it's good old Donny.
If voting mattered, they'd make it illegal.
I'm so tired of everyone talking about " how we will take back the country" in the next election. And then the sea of dumbfounded faces afterwards. Stupid idiots will never learn.
Miffed
I share your sentiment, although I'm not yet at the point where I throw in the towel. It probably also matters what your goal is. I don't believe it is any longer possible for the US to work our way out of the fiscal hole our government has created for us, so it's really a matter of trying to make sure coming out of the disaster on the other side we choose liberty and free markets over socialism/communism and centrally controlled markets. Greece chose to go radical socialist rather than going the total opposite way. I have more optimism, even now, that the America will chose liberty over tyranny in the end. For that reason alone, it's better to not throw in the towel. at least from my perspective.
sweaty ass
your gov't didn't do this!! they are just the employee to a huge graft of corporate thieves who've paid them off to not prosecute and to tilt all the rules in their favor. You live in an Oligarch controlled state, your gov't is irrelevant in this mess because you ALL as a combined citizenry let this slowly evolve since 1946.
YOU and your parents and their parents are to BLAME for falling asleep at the wheel only to wake up and find a hitchhiker is now driving your car into the ditch.
your gov't is supposed to be your representation but YOU all let it be slowly and subversively be taken over by oligarchs and never once put a stop to it.
Thanx, Money Boo Boo, for explaining what should fucking be most obvious to anyone today, fer crissakes!
Uhh. Are you a retard? The people elect the government we have. Of course that is what I meant, you jackass. And I vote for people who never get elected, so I am not to blame.
you're the retard, you're one of the douche bags with his face stuck in a bag of doritos for his entire life while you're country got robbed fucking blind by a bunch of oligarchs, duh!
I'm no renown optimist, but do explain our alternatives. None? I have those days but I try to not go there unless its a particularly dark day.
'Stupid Idiot' is a redundant term. I suggest "Mother-Fucking, stupidly idiotic, imbecilic neanderthals." If you are going to go redundant in describing idiot voters, make sure you go FULL retard.
You are right. I am losing my edge. And I forgot the choicest descriptor that seems to be a zh exclusive, "Smegma-licking". *sigh*
Miffed
"We" can take the country back in the next election. "We" just need to make sure that "we" feild the candidates, cast the votes, and count the ballots. Of course I do not mean their election. Think about. A country wide secession from the existing political machine setting up a counter, well, everything.
Otherwise?
America vote for 'Biggus Dickus' you really can't go wrong!
As the bard said "toupee or not toupee that is the question" !
I fecking hope he 'Trumps' them all
'God wills it'
Anyone who votes or watches a second of this shit deserves everything they get...
Yep, and voters got the shit they voter for in 2008. Makes Carter look good.
And to all those Noam Chomsky lovers out there --- Chomsky believes in the Federal Reserve, the Warren Commission Report, the 9/11 Commission Report, etc. --- Chomsky urged voters to vote for Obama in the last election.
Time to be an independent thinker, Ameritards!
Trump does enhance the entertainment value, for sure. I watched part of his coming out speech yesterday. This is going to be fun. He is kicking ass and taking names as he calls each pitch as he sees it....with his own unique perspective. His rivals should be afraid.
Not that I think he has a real chance of being nominated, but he may cut the legs out from under some of the others. The man may not be the brightest in the contest, but he is the only one not beholden to anyone else, which makes him very dangerous, and he can afford to stay in the race as long as he wants using his own money.
Not beholden? Married to a jew? Might want to think that one through.
Newsflash: israel runs them all. He won't be any different.
I'll likely vote for Rand, even though I have serious reservations, just because of what he did with the patriot bill. I have this sneaking suspicion that he might just have made himself the next president there. Or dead.
israel runs them all and if he falls afoul of them or declines to appear for a photo op wearing the beanie and kissing their fucking Whining Wall, or decides not to grovel before AIPAC like all the others before him, then the media smear machine goes to work and he is DONE.
I wouldn't mind a Rand Paul so much - especially if the alts are another Clinton or another Bush.
Well, maybe I should clarify. Not beholden to anyone for campaign funds, and he has the money to stay in the race as long as he wants, or until the absolute deadline for financial disclosures - late fall - which is plenty of time to screw up several debates with embarrassing questions and answers.
I have no idea who he is married to this time, but I really don't think he would have married anyone he couldn't dominate. Ivana probably taught him a lesson when she split.
Now, does he want to stand up to the bankers? I doubt it. Not endorsing him, or anyone else, but you can't deny that the entertainment value went up when he announced.
.
Do we REALLY know that?
HE is beholden to Israel and the MIC
They could care less if you vote with your feet as long as they gain office/control.
two hoots a newbie shill. Don't be confused.
I think he gets this wrong in that Trump already has his own Cash. If Trump is serious about this would he be willing to drop 6% of his Net Worth to bankroll the campaign?
I don't agree with a lot of what he says, and some of his ideas may be batshit crazy, but if he wins he wouldn't come in compromised from the get-go.
If we're lucky we'll get to see him do an "Ahnold", hold a broom up over his head and say how hes going to "clean up Washington"...
Honestly the only way to really save the US is to cut military spending and health spending but those are non-starters so...
This certified shit-for-brains is actually talking about voting for the Duck!
I think they should hold a contest. Find the least educated, least informed, least interested person in America. I'm talking the biggest, baddest deadbeat that ever lived. Honey Boo Boo meets Hanna Montana crossed with a goldfish and subjected to a lobotomy. That man is out there somewhere, waiting for his moment to shine. Make him be the presiderp.
When that happens, and nothing changes, more people will realize that the president is irrelevant and doesn't set policy.
That's pretty close to what happened with the last two. And the message doesn't seem to have sunk in yet.
Since they realized they could kill a president in broad daylight and get away with it they have relished more and more letting us know EXACTLY what they're doing. Witness 9/11, and the several decades the israelites spent telling us what they were going to do, and why, and what we would do in response. The last two presidents have been obvious compromised morons, blind Freddy could see it, the fuckers are laughing at us as we lap up the media drivel about hope and change, or whatever the current advertising jingle is.
It's like rubbibg a puppies nose in its turd, to learn him. After a while you get sick of it not working, or you tire of the game, so you just shoot the fucker. If he's that dumb, he doesn't need to live. We're getting pretty close to that point, I reckon.
Edit: just to clarify, we are the puppy
You're talking about George Weasel Bush, dood!
The fucktard who came out of enlisted basic training -- USAF-ANG --- as an O-1, instead of an E-1 like millions of others?
He was already prez.
Die Losung (The Solution) Brecht 1953
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
is this the best article you can do on Trump running for president? Come on!!! up your game..its manna from heaven.
Honestly, just because the mainstream neocons don't really like Trump is a good reason to look at him. While he clearly represents something we'd all like to achieve, successful and rich, he does at least seem to have a strong grasp of accountability and appreciation of free markets. If he were the Republican candidate, would I vote for him? Probably, depending on some other views of his that I don't yet know. My first choice is Rand Paul. Certainly Trump would be on my list way ahead of the garbage like Jeb and his fellow neocons.
Retiring and moving to the tropics was the best decision I ever made. Good luck to all the fools in the United States...
GMO grains, when you were a kid! I don't hink you are that young.
Does he want to end the Fed? Has he clearly articulated to the people the evil that is fractional-reserve banking? What was that? No?
Next.
Does he want to end the FED?
No. But he has pledged to make Murica even moar exceptionaller than it already is.
He is for supporting the Jews, and increasing the feeding of the MIC-and seems to think the FED is ok.
His 'promises' have been uttered ad nauseum by all candidates from time immemorial
He is the unabashed candidate of the 1%
in other words, same old-same old: just another politician
Great article, however, in the DC US, so-called candidates do not actually run, but act out their parts on Zion's stage. The "winners" are already groomed and selected. Anyone that remembers "the Great Switch" in the Spring of 2008, where Hillary was switched out over a long weekend with CIA-Obama, already know this.
The contracts are signed, the checks sent and cashed, the lines memorized, the show put on.
"All the world's Zion's stage..."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Voting is like looking back into the toilet bowl and picking a favorite.
Kchris, I got to borrow that, turd in the punchbowl, yuck, yuck.
Donny boy is a no go, period.
Aside from the Trump news, we fired ourselves by not buying American products and refusing to buy foreign products.
Everything America is reflects its people and their choices. It is no miracle that there are no Chevys in Japan. Like China says...its a win-win. They win buying and selling America. All we can offer is to ask if they will take a check.....I really want one of them there I watches...They will sell us the rope for our own hanging and we are stupid and self obsessed enough to do it...if the price was right!
By all means....cheap imports are GOOOOD FOR AMERICAN bankers..
Trump makes good points, the author is for the establishment
Agreed. I like Trump's style. I'd vote for Rand in a heartbeat over him, but Trump is a take-no-prisoners type and I genuinely think he appreaciates America's founding principles. He's certainly not what I would consider a libertarian (small L) like Rand Paul, but I believe e would make a good president and has a strong sense of accountability sorely lacking in the White House.
Good president? Doubtful. Forget the rhetoric that is spewed out of his mouth, It's bullshit. All of the chosen, accepted candidates either read a script, or make up their own script--either way, the script, whether given to them or constructed on their own -- is irrelevant as words and rhetoric and flowery speeches are just bullshit. The only important issue is whether they are owned -or not. Their rhetoric , speeches and issues are largely irrelevant.You are either in the Club- or owned by the Club -or not. Controlled opposition gives speeches that the angry, restless public wants to hear. Ted Cruz is controlled opposition. So is Marco Rubio. Bernie Sanders is likely the same. i don't think Rand Paul is. He is playing the game, trying to get power to do good things. That's my take on him. I may be wrong, but right now I don't think so.
Hit by the ZH duplicate bug.
The nation is a disrespected, narcissistic running joke so there is little harm in another carnival barker getting in on the gang-bang.
George Carlin says he stays home and jerks off on election day.
Who, Trump? Carlin is dead.
As an American living in Mexico - why exactly is he so hell bent on building a wall between the two countries ? Feels to me like he consults his doorman for policy. Mexico is probably a much better ally to the US than even Canada at this point. (someone here must have turned him down on a deal)...
Mexico is waging 4th gen war against the U.S. and you're too stupid to know it. They are also getting rid of those little native Indians they hate so much. It's a bloodless and war and genocide all at once, and all the while they become whiter.
Because, divedivedive, you dick, he owns the wall-building company.
Why are Americans always sooooo slow to catch on?
You are suffering from the "bends". We ain't bending over to Mexico no more.
Is A Third World America Inevitable?
Patrick J. Buchanan06.15.2015
Why build a wall? I live in a suburb of Dallas and most city employees cannot speak English -the city apparently doesn't care that they are illegal -My suburb (Farmers Branch) got national attention with city ordinances that required landlords to provide proof of citizenship or legal Immigration status to be able to rent apartments - they lost in federal litigation and spent millions defending the suits filed. The good white councilmen-largely Irish descent (McNamara, O'Hare) all lost relelection because people were upset at legal fees and costs for what was perceived to be futile efforts. Illegals drive drunk, get arrested all the time for driving with no regiistration, no valid inspection stickers -and nothing happens. I get stopped and have to pay a $250 fine. TPTB want illegal immigration -employers no longer fear INS raids for hiring illegals -so they come here. Neocon talk radio hosts like Hannity and O'Reilly and Michael Savage are simply controlled opposition. TPTB are bringing in millions of legal immigrants from third world countries in Europe and America. They totally ignored immigration while they pumped for Neocon wars until about 2006 when the Iraq war was going so bad, they temporarily quit pushing war to focus on immigration. Even then, they totally ignore "legal" immigration on a massive scale from overseas third world copuntries )China, Korea, Nigeriia, Somalies, Ethiopis, India, etc., etc. ) The media hardly covers this. They are destroying this country under the policy of divide and conquer - the elites (laregley Jewish) have has this policy in force since the 1930s when the Jewish intellectual were run out of Europe when they tried to establish Bolshevism in Europe and were temporarily defeated. They set up the Frankfurt school in America and took over the Ivy League schools. The goal was to take over America (and the West) by destroying traditional family, Christianity and destroying the homogeneous character (largely white Christian ) of the West. They have been wildly successful and their movement is steamrolling now. I think it's too late to stop it -too many anglo conspirator sheeple going along as they belive the now pernicious and controlled media and education system. Unlimited money, thanks to Bankster controlled Federal Reserve is so powerful that anyone can be bought off and people like Shelodon Adelson select our candidates. America is being looted, dumbed -down and balkanized - yet we stand by and do nothing about it except listen to the ramblings of controlled opposition traitors on Neocon talk radio, amount other propaganda. I think we are screwed. Sefdom, bondage and servitude in a police state appears to be our future -unless a miracle somehow occurs which cause the sheeple to collectively pull their heads out of their smelly asses.
I say give him a shot at it...what have we got to lose, this country is a dead stick.
This is my last comment ever. I wish the best for you all and continue the resistance .
I've always criticized Donald Trump because he built his empire off cheap loans and exploiting gambling addicts and I think all of his money should be disqualified from political campaigns. With that being said I trust Donald Trump more than any other candidate when it comes to US relations with China.
We'll see you back tomorrow purpleballs. Have a good evening.
Trump gets my vote since the only bush I trust is my own.

I will vote for Trump. He means what he says.
Wanna know how to fuck Washington ? Article 5 of the Constitution. Also known as an end runaround all the assholes inside the beltway. Wanna know more? The Liberty Ammendments by Mark Levin.
People that dont vote intelligently get what we now have , same as people who dont vote at all. People who do vote can sqeeze a round off with a clear conscience.
Man up and vote for Trump or Cruze or Paul, but pick a winner. The only difference between hillary and Jeb is Hillary has bigger balls
Trump is a POS
Trump is about the only candidate who can take on the "one party Congress".
Nowadays
All American presidents are puppets of IsraeliLobby TheCabalBanksters&Corporates who control CIA,FBI etc everything
If the US prez doesn't act as puppeteered he may lose his life (so many US prez. shot in past)
Therefore he has to.
Also the puppet masters at the moment want the next world war because thats the only logical strategy left to boost up the American economy.
So irrespective of who will be the president , the nuclear war is inevitable because today America is in the state the way it was Germany before WW2.
However , had I been an American citizen, I would have given my vote to Trump, why?
(1) He is not from nasty Bush dynasty.
(2) He is not from cockSucklingClinton dynasty
But still as I said we are in troubled times.
