I hope he is president so he can make his hair vice president.  Also, how dignified will it be when he's giving the state of the union in a baseball cap that says Trump Casino.

His hair is going to be head of the Fed.  Yellen is already worried about the competition.

P.S.  bad jokes aside (and that one was pretty lame), good to see some ZH'rs able to laugh a bit at Trump.  Even if people like some of the message, the hero worship is getting a little ridiculous.

The establishment may or may not be running scared.  Trump is all in on the MIC, NSA, the Fed, and many other elements of the establishment.  If I were the CEO of Raytheon or Goldman, or the head of the NSA, I would vote for the guy.  Careful what you wish for, and think beyond the lines.

Trump is a symbol of contempt.  It's an embarrassment that he's ravingly popular for saying a few obvious truths, however unpalatable they might be.  From where I sit, he is a big middle finger being flipped in the general direction of Washington D.C.

He's hitting a lot of fundamental bullet points on my list.  If he can follow through on 3 or 4 I would count that as a win and work from there.

Why does the conversation about Trump always devolve into "do you think _____________ would do better?"  The correct answer is that Trump will suck, and the other guy will suck.  Trump is in favor of moar war, the Fed, the NSA, he wants to jail Snowden, etc.  So he wants to build a fence and calls out the MSM.  Great.  Still would make a shit awful President like any of the others running, one of which will win.   I enjoy watching Trump shake things up, but that's as far as it goes.

Walker would send the rest of our jobs to China.  Trump is largely appealing to many because of his anti-free-trade stance.  Most Americans understand that free trade is destroying this country.  The article kind of misses that point, and that guys like Walker can't get traction because they are in bed with multi-national corporations.  Too bad Trump didn't throw in against the Fed and the MIC, but he's trying to play the middle.

Well if you don't want to elect a RINO what other choice do you have.  Trump Cruz, Carson and perhaps Fiorina are your only choices.  Also he looks to be the only one willing to take on a very biased press.

It's because Trump discovered what really works for a presidential wannabe:  The purpose of the president is to be so outlandish he/she distracts us from the people who REALLY run the country.

Trump is Zaphod Beeblebrox, only with one head and just two arms.  Otherwise, he is the perfect distraction.

The problem with 'Democracy' and other governments, it is usually a minority issuing and enforcing 'rules' on many people who did not buy into it or want it.

For example, the war machine to protect 'freedom'. What do they need that for?

I don't hate any country's people to the extent I would wish a bombing run or a nuke on civilian areas.

We know someone, somewhere, will launch a nuke one day.  It is human nature as they make big investments in them and someone will want to see what it can do and justify the doing of it, like the US did in Japan, even when the Japanese were weeks away from surrendering anyway.  Same as the bombing in Iraq, Syria and so on.  It is bad enough for the people over there to endure what they have to endure without worrying about some missile or bomb taking away their homes and families.

What did Napalm and Agent Orange accomplish in Vietnam?  Except kill 'suspected' villains who did not threaten America.  They were guilty of being 'commies'.

There is a sickness or evil out there but no one wants to address it.

Trump and the rest of them are in it up to their eyeballs.  He would not think twice about destroying a nation if he felt it was 'justified'.  That is a big problem for those who do not wish this to occur and do not want the efforts of their work contributing to this disease.

In short,an individual's life means nothing to our elected representatives including in the Oval office where the God in power for four years looks over his kill list once a week and decides who lives or dies and no one holds him or her to task for murder or human rights abuses or disregarding the Constituton they swore to uphold.

True, but none of the others would think twice about killing millions of innocents either, so that's not a differentiating factor.

No candidate today can fix authoritarianism.  Ron Paul couldn't.  Nobody can.  And "the people" are so utterly brainwashed and brain damaged, they won't do anything either.

So amazingly, the only tiny chance that exists is an absolute, complete, utter collapse, and the predators-that-be all being consumed for food by the zombie hordes.

Not gonna happen, of course, but that's the only positive possibility that has any chance whatsoever of happening.  And so...

Humans are finished.

The end of the Bronze Age was a Collapse and a Dark Age where History, Glass Making, other Technology Disappeared.

I think this is an Alternative Scenario.

Tho Banking & Lawyers & Scribes & Power & Control seem to have survived in certain families from 4,000 BC.

- Well and people did survive in mountains, caves, tropics, along rivers... for like 200,000 years now... after Volcanoes, Floods, and all.

What would expect a person to do who has been elected specifically to protect his people and is equipped to destroy the world?

How far would you go to save your child? Kill? Torture? Threaten with everything you have? If you don't want a government to have this power you must take it away from them. Remove their military. Remove their intelligence. If you have no desire to defend yourself, your friends, neighbors or country, then why do anything at all? Proclaim universal pacifism, and leave your front door unlocked.

We live in dangerous times and simple solutions offer us the greatest danger yet.

As someone who got addicted to science at age 4, and ignored all human conventions ever since (including all the nonsense girls (and boys) practice just because they are "girls" or "boys"), my attitude and behavior is definitely unlike typical a "girl"... or a typical "boy" either.

But if you read my posts, you know the extreme measures I've taken to get the hell outta dodge, you'd understand why I discuss that often.  Plus, it is now my opinion that the floor my fall out of the world economy by mid-September, and everyone might lose their entire savings in bail-ins, conversion of retirement accounts to 30y treasuries they are not permitted to sell for years, and other nefarious disasters.

Okay, yes.  Maybe the chances this starts to happen this fall in earnest is only 33% chance.  But that risk level is much too high for any rational, prudent individual to remain in the system.  And so lately, I have indeed been harping on this topic more than usual.

Live with it.

PS:  I am an oracle, and I've proved it over and over.  I don't need to be a wanna be.

Revealed on Piers Morgan Tonight: Donald Trump (2011) that he is pro-military spending...

I gotta guess he is supportive of foreign wars or he would have said something by now.

I gotta believe he will work with the Zio-Con in both the Democrat Side and the Republican Side.

It is the come back, it is the art of the Deal... he is a deal maker.

Why not make deals with the Private Federal Reserve and TBTF Banks, so they can eliminate another 2,000 US Banks, and Move in Permanent Like in ownership in Europe and All Over Europe?

Or he will take a dive, take a deal to get out of the race, and put some more assets to work or move on some new investment.

This is not just "revealed".  He has "said something by now"

In the campaign Trump has said he wants to strengthen the US military.  BUT he has also said:

  • You can't be militarily strong without being industrially strong, so the US industrial capacity has to be rebuilt; and
  • He is not interested in being the world's policeman.  He has said the US should not be leading intervention in Ukraine, which is a matter for Europe if they care.

So he wants to strengthen US military capability but use it sparingly.

Seems a very sensible policy statement and their is no revelation by Morgan, however much he might want to spin it.

The comments regarding Trump on ZH are very interesting. Some think he is a Clinton operative, working to insure her election. Some think he is a tool of the NWO and Zionist enslavers. Some think he is not a serious candidate and will not get the nomination; that's been given to Jebby. Some think his goal is to destroy the Republican Party.

Here's what I KNOW. His words, his tone, his demeanor and his willingness to " charge the hill" are refreshing and welcomed. Some think he is brash and obnoxious. So what? I'm so tired of pantywaists like Lindsey Graham and marionettes like Jebby that I welcome Trump to the party. GO DONALD!! PS Chuck Dodd is a useless idiot. Trump gets props for not letting his head explode trying to explain currency devaluation to that simpleton.

Look, most here have GOT to be too smart to fall for this establishment, wild-card, screen-play tool.  Breitbart readers, not so much.

Rump openly admits to donating to both parties- codespeak for playing both sides with loyalty to neither. 

He's a NYC master of greasing political offices, tax abatements, skimping on building materials, over charging, hiring illegals, strong-arming land owners off their props, suing anyone with a pulse on weak legal grounds...

Was he a genius for inheriting $400M or for being a slumlord in Brooklyn in the 80's?  Was he a genius for preying on human weakness in the Casino biz where the house always wins?  Was he a genius for declaring strings of bankruptcies?  And what happens of those bankruptcies?  Who pays for them?  ZHers know that those losses don't magically vaporize into the magical ether of Chapter 7 fairyland.

His brilliance destroyed a water table and eco system in a Scottish dune town to build a goddamn golf course.  Which is justified because well, its golf.

Don't take my word for it, look the shit up.

Who do you have in mind, FULL?  Anyone not already confirmed to be under the arm of the evil entity that has turned what could have been a decent life into a LIVING HELL?  If so, who?  Who would you prefer to see on the stage in the USA who has half a fucking chance of getting TV air time?  Bernie with his Jewish background?  WAR DRUMS THAT NEVER STOP.  The old hat Clinton or Bush whose legacy of repelling Glass Steagall and invasion of Iraq and the trillions lost due to "bad judgment" and not "ulterior motives?"

Vote for Trump and Americans just may not end up corralled into large city apartments while their nation is sold to the highest bidding vulture capitalist in the circle of fiends and frauds, murderers and rapists of small children?

There isn't a decent honest man alive who would run for president of the USA.  He'd end up dead and you know.  Trump has the money to stay alive. 

And Trump is agreeable to the Iranian deal.  Clean up the swamp called Congress of the AIPAC usurpers and let's get back to living for god's sake.

In reply to Sparky and others of his ilk, denigrating our SUPPORT of the the Donald.

"they want to 'Reason' people awat from trump, reason hasn't given him his numbers emotion has, the more they attack him the more popular he is"

Ahhh, the ubiquitous "they", them that ain't us, because "reason".

Emotion my left huevo. But maybe your're on to something. IF

"emotion" is visceral disgust at the lies, fraud, deception, immorality, hate America, sell out America, collusion with the enemies of America, racism, plunder, unpatriotic, obsequious, in your face what you gonna do about blantant theft of the exceptional, never seen before, wonderfulness of our US of A.

Us Trump supporters have our doubts about the Donald.

However, the Donald is talking truth to power while the 99.09% of our self-anointed betters are doing NOTHING, but the above.
