Could Trump and Company Save Us?

[Gary Childress]

CANCELED until further notice

[Gary Childress]

Instead of another French Revolution, lets have a Copernican one! The world does NOT revolve around Western Civilization. It's time to wake up and take a back seat for a while. Let those young upstarts in the East do their thing for a while and stay out of their way as best we can. Let them be successful. And STOP BLAMING EACH OTHER FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG. We're all in this together to save life on Earth. ALL HANDS ON DECK!

OK. So the above is a very bad idea.

Perhaps he will. You never know what you will get with him. Every other president has been as predictable and boring as fark.

Yes. The Democrats seem to have occupied themselves with nonsense. Back in 2017, IIRC, Hillary Clinton, just after losing the 2016 election was calling on Trump to bomb Syrian airfields. Trump did not go along with it, thank goodness. Considering those airfields had Russia's planes on them we could have been in an earlier confrontation. And then of course, Biden just couldn't resist himself, arming Ukraine with weapons to turn the country into a meat grinder for both Russia and Ukraine. No. I've seen enough of the Democrats for a while, I've seen the light.

The Trump administration is prying the decades-long media Narrative of Reality away from the Left, by bringing conservative reporters who reach a wider audience, into the press room.

In just one more manifestation of humble arrogance I had intoned on another thread:

You sense that your world is changing. It’s like the ground has jarred violently under your feet but you do not have enough knowledge or understanding to make any sense of it at all. You have little understanding of the causal processes that led to what is happening. And you do not have either the interest nor the will to work to achieve (better) understanding. So the larger part of your reaction is ‘paja’ [BS] on one side and simple fearfulness on the other.

A couple of thoughts:

1) An accurate understanding of what is actually going on in our present is becoming more and more difficult to achieve. On one level there is paranoid musing that cobbles together a picture from selected facts and which receives impression-bits from the news feeds. On another there are those tendentious essay-like expositions, which disagree wildly one from the next, as they offer interpretive analysis. You can flip through or scroll through these interpretive pictures at will on your hand-held phone or computer. If the medium is the message, the message has evolved into a total information-space that defines the parameters of what we perceive.

2) No matter what “picture” one gathers together and what General Picture is seated in your imaginative faculty, to be either pessimistic or optimistic seems, nearly, beside the point. In the background of our awareness is a sense of something ominous and dark on the horizon. Essentially this is an intuited vision where The Machine asserts control over The Man. It is never presented as something Angelical and is always presented as Demoniacal. No matter at what level this “demoniac” power is understood to originate or to operate, it is as real as anything else in the imagined world of man.

3) If you feel that malevolent drone-like cockroaches of madness have crawled into your mind through your unprotected ears and which scurry chaotically on the inner edges of your skulls, please remember I have developed a Normalizing Aerosol that chases away these maddening and insidious insects and replaces them with mellifluent birdsong.

Yeah. Something like that, old bean.

[Alexis Jacobi]

Old Bean should be capitalized. It is a stand-in for a proper name, is it not? Or are you trying to insinuate that I am literally an old bean?!

No, "Old Bean" is not capitalized, as it is a casual phrase and not a proper noun; it should be written as "old bean" in standard English usage.
Key points about "old bean":
Informal greeting:
It's a friendly, slightly old-fashioned way to address someone, particularly in British English.

Let me help you there, old bean.

[Alexis Jacobi]

My AI portal provides us with this instruction:

META’s AI: A delightful expression!

Yes, you are absolutely right, old chap! When using "Old Bean" as a term of endearment or familiarity, it's considered proper to capitalize the phrase, as it's being used as a nickname or a form of address.

So, do go ahead and capitalize it: "Old Bean"!

I am not a generic old bean but rather the Old Bean!

There's something wrong with your portal. You might want to get that fixed. It seems to be spewing BS.

[Alexis Jacobi]

Well, let’s put that aside for now.

Since you present us with a purified and reconstructed version of Donald J. Trump, are you also going to offer us a spiritualized and even a sanctified version of Adolf Hitler?

No. Sorry about that. Is there a reason why we should sanctify Adolf Hitler?

[Alexis Jacobi]

Things are happening fast, Gary! You of all people are aware of these ch-ch-ch-changes!

If you renovate the hitleresque Trump, does this not indicate a revision of Herr Adolf?

And what about this?!

In a small, secretive compound, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard gathered her top agents for a unique mission briefing. Instead of discussing counter-terrorism strategies or cyber threats, she stood before them, ukulele in hand, and began to strum the iconic chords of John Lennon's "Imagine".

"Today, we're going to learn the true meaning of intelligence," she said, her voice filled with conviction. "It's not just about gathering information or analyzing data; it's about understanding the human condition and working towards a more compassionate world."

As she sang, her agents watched in surprise, then curiosity, and finally, they began to join in. Soon, the room was filled with the sweet, harmonious sounds of ukuleles and voices blended together.

"You see, agents," Tulsi explained, "when we imagine a world without conflict, without fear, and without division, we begin to create a new reality. We start to see the humanity in our adversaries, and we find new ways to resolve conflicts peacefully."

As the song came to an end, the agents applauded, and Tulsi smiled. "From now on, this will be our daily briefing. We'll sing, we'll imagine, and we'll work together to create a brighter future for all."

And so, the National Intelligence Agency was transformed, one ukulele at a time.
