Speaking Truth to Trump | Former Head of Trump’s Communications, Anthony Scaramucci


If you have the attention span, and I know many of your Trumpers do not, may I suggest this podcast..

It says more about Trump than anything I have seen.
Ex-coms appointee Scaraucci deals the dirt. He's smart and its from the hip, pulls no punches and tells it like it is.

OMG! Did Trump actually say that?
Well, these attempts to express shock and horror so as to assume some sort of moral high ground have got to amuse anybody watching from the sidelines of this dog-and-pony show, nowadays.

What does it matter if he had said that? The incumbent, Biden, said that people who don't vote for him "ain't black," (nice attempt at ghetto slang, too). I don't recall hearing any Dem supporters do so much as bat an eye at that. 8)

I think it's at that moment that Leftists lost any plausibility in their expressions of moral outrage.
Clearly it isn’t the words that matter—it’s the person speaking. Re Trump and Biden, one is a bigot and the other is not.
It's funny how quickly Dem supporters accept that sort of narrative, and that sort of inconsistency. One would surely think critical thinking is truly dead there.

What's apparent to the rest of us is that Trump, for some reason, is a paraiah to the Dem party, and also to the war-mongering among the Republicans. And one thing we know: it has zero to do with what the Dems claim it is, which is his alleged personal moral turpitude, and has everything to do with the desire to keep the war, which is nothing but a money-laundering scam, going. That much, we can all see, because every moral inconsistency they claim to find in Trump is found also, and in greater measure, in those they love and celebrate.

Why people who claim to love the Left want to side with the rich elites in bilking the American poor out of their last cent is a source of amazement to us. It's as if they believe that the elites will only bilk their enemies, and will never turn on the average Dem supporter...which they have already done, in abundance. Why would people line up to support their rich exploiters? :shock: It's really a stunner.

Oh, I'm neither shocked nor horrified, but I'm smart enough not to make a comment like that. If you think about it, it's a little bit like a Geman government official cracking a joke about Jews. Some things are just things a person ought not do.

It’s funny how you completely skirted the comment about the bigot. Can’t be refuted.

I didn't "skirt" it. Rather, you gave me no reason to believe it was true. So it seemed at bit petty.

The weirdest thing is how the stupid wonkers got it into their tiny little brains that Hillary Clinton is a feminist. Hmmm. 'Aah did not have sexual relations with that woman...'

Here’s an entertaining satire, from the Babylon Bee.
Although fiction, it explains what happened to Trump, simply.
Babylon Bee satirically wrote:New York Prosecutes Couple For Fraud For Listing Their House For $499,000 When It Ultimately Sold For $485,000
https://babylonbee.com/news/new-york-pr ... for-485000

NEW YORK — Local couple Marty and Shelly Cross have been officially charged with fraud after listing their home for $499,000 when it ultimately sold for slightly less.

"The Cross family knowingly and willfully tried to get a good deal when they sold their home," explained Attorney General Letitia James. "The State of New York hereby assesses the Cross family a fine of $50 million for their egregious actions. If they cannot pay by tomorrow, we will begin kidnapping their children to hold as ransom."

According to sources, the bank had performed an appraisal and actually approved a loan for the buyer at $499,000, though ultimately after negotiations the selling price was slightly less. "Yes, the bank agreed to the price set by the Cross family," admitted James. "That doesn't mean Mr. and Mrs. Cross did not commit fraud! Banks, as we all know, are poor and helpless and at the mercy of whatever amount of money people ask for. The feeble, powerless bank is the victim here, having been duped by the Cross family - and they will pay!"

The Cross family were reportedly caught completely off guard by the charges, believing they had submitted a reasonable asking price. "All we did was ask for what we wanted! No one had to agree to it. I had no idea asking for the price you wanted for your home was illegal," said Shelly. "I have to be frank, I just don't quite see how our negotiating the price with the seller and the bank did fifty million dollars of damage to the State of New York. I'm really struggling to make the connection."

At publishing time, Letitia James had put up billboards across New York with the faces of the Cross family and how much they owed in fines.

The Party always is the first priority. The constitution is not. Feminism is certainly not. Women's athletics are not. Ethics are not. Hillary wasn't going to let any "vast right-wing conspiracy" ... damage The Party. The Feminists understand this, know the order of importance and don't blame her. Quite the opposite. She's a heroine of The Party.

Feminism isn't even really 'a thing' in the US. Perhaps once it was. America came up with all the 'princess pink and purple' bs. Women have taken the anti-choice crap without a whimper. There is no 'terf' movement to speak of. American women think that being a 'feminist' is dying their hair blue and then gushing all over men like something from a Carry On movie. No wonder the US produces men like Epstein and Trump.
