Americans are VERY good at willful ignorance.. The best in the world, actually.

A trait developed over generations ever since the genocide of the native American population.

None of this is unexpected. A land of greed and lack of morality.

know what other former television ‘star’ turned presidential candidate promised his voters ‘No more wars! I will make Peace!’ only to go back on that promise and screw his voters almost immediately after getting into office and then made a mockery of the office as he sold his country out for his personal profit?

To be fair, Zelenskii was summoned by the US Ambassador immediately after his election, and the ambassador proceeded to lay down the law.

"But that would be betrayal of Ukraine. I'd be sending millions to their deaths! The huge debts would make us slaves forever."

Hard to make peace with someone who violently took half your country and is attempting to take the rest of it.

You are delusional. What medication are you on. Russia was protecting ethnic Russians in Donbas region. Do you know what happened in 2014? NATO and Ukraine had intention to genocide and ethnically clean region that was always majority ethnic Russian. Belive western propaganda if you want. You just proved everything Caitlin was writing here - useful idiot.

"single most corrupt president in US history."

Which may be true and could be debated simply because the entire lot of them have represented an eminently corruptible cadre of capitalist/neofeudalist bottom-feeders who hardly ever rejected their own "deals", but were mostly better at keeping it all hush hush.

Yep. To paraphrase the despicable Carville, it’s the system, stupid.

From Corbin Trent - “So no, I’m not interested in fighting Donald Trump. I’m interested in fighting the thing that made him and will outlast him, the system that lets a genocide run, lets the Epstein names stay buried, lets a child’s abuser walk and then promotes the man who walked him, mints fortunes off our work, and rounds up the weakest people we’ve got while calling it order. That’s the enemy. Not a man. A system.”

I’m not sure who’s most corrupt, the wolf or the wolf in sheep’s clothing..

Who is more fool? The fool himself, or the fool who follows the fool?

Trump's collection of multi-billion dollar bribes and similar income from insider trading would be pretty hard to beat. That's something I like about him : he unashamedly does it on a breathtaking scale right out in broad daylight. He's proved the Constitution is utterly powerless. Maybe now something will be done about this (especially the ubercorrupt SCROTUS). Then again, maybe instead it will get worse.

Robert Caro thinks LBJ was the former heavyweight champ of corruption. It was the basis of his power in Congress.

First of what makes this "intelligence"? Enthusiasm for it depends on what you want it to do. Calling on it to destroy whole populations is a crime to me and anyone who uses it for this is a mass murderer. Who will be punished?

I also find it strange that over the past six months of megascandal, failure, and broken promises Mr Trump support has declined by only 10%. It's because 36% of the population likes the ICE initiative. They want foreigners ejected from the USA and approve of how this is being done. I think they believe this will improve their standard of living. I say they will be disappointed in this, and that Mr. T's meddling with the world economy will cause a worldwide depression. We will see whether they stick with him when everything becomes much more expensive. There will be a major effort to blame it all on Iran and China. Maybe this will succeed. Maybe it won't.

Should be an eye opener when the Democratic party gets back in power and they do nothing substantial about ICE - and the organization continues to build concentration camps all over the country - and kill more Americans on the street without consequence.

I'm further amazed by the USA public's devotion to the "lesser evil" system. I tell people in Indonesia about it and they laugh. There is a certain logic to it but by now I would think the baleful results would be pretty clear. But nope, lesser evilism still going strong.

On the second to last note;

I think most of the world is feeling or starting to feel the same way about the United States.

People who are still writing crowd-pleasingly about party politics, even though we know politicians are not in control and whoever is in ‘power’ is not, are cucks.

I got a wrist slap (a month’s ban) from Jonathan Cook for expressing my frustration at his writing reels about whether the new Labour leader is going to do the ‘right’ thing re Israel even though he knows voting doesn’t change anything (unless it’s for the Polanski- not). And for misrepresenting you and him.

You’re both cucks and are assisting our controllers with this focus on Isreal, politicians and how much you hate and look down on other people instead of using your platform to scream about impending proxy war with China (Oz) and Russia (UK and EU) and the bloody great climate crisis that's happening right now.

US interests in oil, animal ag, pharma, finance, tech, media, entertainment and arms are just loving all this bitching and distraction- laughing all the way to the bank via our lifestyles, purchases and via genocide and ecocide.

You mean Caitlin shouldn't write about Genocide so much? That's a first.

Well, we can all do it on our own right? Who needs a General in a war? Law and Order - total bs!

Making Sense of the Madness's avatar

Law and order IS total bs, in case you haven’t noticed. And I don’t see anyone fighting wars for any worthwhile causes, so yeah, I haven’t any use for any General, either.

That's what I thought. Who needs civilization ... Let murderers murder. Genociders genocide. Let a big fat prick in the White house scam you out of billions. After all, the only law there is is the law of the jungle. Who needs authority when you can live the free-for-all life of a criminal?

"Trump Supporters Are Pathetic Cucks" ... So what are you really trying to say?

ChatterX's avatar

What are you really trying to ask?

What is the difference between a "Cuck" and a "Pathetic Cuck"? Is there a difference? Is it a difference in size?
