More like the 82nd year of FDR. If you were alive during the Reagan Administration, you may have noticed that he was not a socialist like Obama and the Clintons.

Whatever Obama and the Clintons are and have been, Socialists ain't it.  Crony Capitalist, absolutely.  Willing to use the Welfare State apparatus to prop up the corporate status quo, yes indeed.  But in no way have the Clintons and Obama ever been inclined to put the State in charge of the means of production.  That's what Socialism is.  They may have different corporate sponsors than Reagan did, or the Bushes, but that doesn't make them Socialists.

The Donald is a stern man, not one to be trifled with. He's going to build a wall better than the Great Wall of China, and then he's going to have the Chinese...errr...I mean Mexicans pay for it. And he's gonna say "anchor babies" and people who don't like the term "anchor babies" are going to get used to it. We like that. Right?

Rand Paul is not a stern man because his soprano talking voice will not allow for that. He does not wnat to build a wall because his father, Ron, taught him that walls that are allegedly built to keep entities out, historically, end up keeping entities in when the SHTF. He told Chris Christie to, "Use the 4th Amendment! Get a warrant, Fatty! We like that. Right?

So my question to you is...do I 

Stand with Rand?

or do I...

Pump for Trump?

The stakes are high...

The  EU Times wrote on Mar 20th, 2013” Rand Paul wants to give all illegal immigrants US citizenship: 

“...Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has said that America’s illegal immigrants should be integrated into the tax system in a program that would eventually lead to the possibility of citizenship.

“Speaking about immigration issues at the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Paul said ‘Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport’ the millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States en masse.

“’Prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into becoming and being taxpaying members of society.” …

“The senator specified that his support for comprehensive immigration reform would be contingent upon tougher border security and confirmations from Congress that it has indeed been strengthened. He did not elaborate, though, on how the country’s borders might be made safer.”

Yep,,, "Rand the man" is like all the other pols. In it for numero uno. Cinched it for me when he was all gushing for a Romney VP spot.

All 'real' libertarians are for no borders and may the lowest wage nation win. In a way, they are the worlds first globalists. They don't like admitting to it, but that's what they really stand for.

China is the excuse the Fed will offer up to the Sheeple.

That makes the donald: 1.) a sheeple  2.) a tool of the Fed

You decide.

Yes, that is all true, bshirley. But what you are not taking into account is the sterness in his voice and face when he blames China. Just the way he says, "China" is utterly convincing. Plus, when you blame the Fed it just doesn't have the same effect. It's such a tinny and soft consant word. Say it..."the Fed". See? 

Now say, "China". Very woody sound.

Surely, bshirley, you must see the stark difference.

So China is taking jobs by AMERICAN corporations outsourcing jobs there. Good to know. Can't wait for the reports to come out that Trump outsources stuff to China.

This guy is setting up to be the new Hitler with all his nationalistic idiocy.

I think it's only a matter of mannerisms.  Mussolini was an intellectual and Trump isn't.  Mussolini actually fought in a war, and Trump hasn't.  Trump has to at least pretend to adhere to the tenets of modern liberal (small "L") finance capitalism, and Mussolini most certainly did not do that.

But watching Trump bloviate live, with the sound off, is pretty eerie.

At the beginning of his movie, General Patton claims that "Americans" have never been beaten in battle, yet his own grandfather felt the sting of defeat fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War.

Trump is right. Historically, and the British can attest to this, China is only interested in selling their stuff to us, taking what they can and thats it.

China didn't TAKE anything. America's production was handed to them on a silver platter with u.s government assistance.  Most didn't care because they were led to believe Americans would be getting all the new computer/internet programming gigs. We were supposedly trading 'dirty blue collar jobs" for "pristine high paying white collar jobs"

What they ended up with was low paying bed pan cleaning service yobs they now think are worth $15-20 per hour.

Add to that the government’s treasonous connivance in handing out H-1B visas for corporations seeking low-cost foreigners to take US jobs at home, ignoring literally hundreds of qualified US resumes “while domestic candidates basically rot.”

Hard to fight a war when all your avionics and fusing circuitry is made in your "enemy's" country.

It's a trite saying but it still holds true - 'The generals are always fighting the last war.'

One of these days Amerika is going to wake up and all the best R&D will be coming out of China and not the US and those autonomous Chinese Warbots will be tap dancing on the graves of the smartest guys in the room.

It will be an interesting next 100 years.

The Wall St. banking mafia destroyed America (using China as the tool).

 

Now it's all going down the banking mafia needs scape goats to help them avoid the blame: Russia and China externally and inciting racial conflict internally.

 

Trump is either helping them with that or knows he can't blame the banking mafia directly.

 

Either way he's useful at breaking the media's monopoly power on the narrative. The more people lose faith in the media the more they'll look elsewhere.
