Of this, the Irish Savant Comments:
The Savant then asks why Trump hired Barr, a man whose Deep State connections were well known. And that raises the big question about Trump: why did he fail to take effective control of the government?Nothing to see here: AG Barr comes up good just when the Deep needed him.
Was he intimidated by the Deep State (remember the Kennedy's), working with the Deep State, or simply unable to get a grip on the job?
Remarkably, speaking of Bill Barr, Trump said:
And here's one way to understand that remark:
the administrative state takes advantage of their insider positioning to control outside elements that are a risk to their status. They weaponize the principled honor of their target. This is why good people, decent people, do not last in Washington DC.
THAT is how a good man, a very decent man, has his love, honor and willingness to trust, weaponized against him. AG Bill Barr duped POTUS Trump, our president gave him full benefit of the doubt. Listen to that video: “I’ll only say this once”…
Do you remember the warning by Castellanos? Think back to the 2015 instructions from republican insider Alex Castellanos as he described how the RNC could eliminate the disruptive influence of Donald Trump:[…] “The best way to do it is how Brutus killed Caesar. Get real close, snuggle up, and shiv him in the ribs”… (link)

ReplyDeleteDonald Trump is a good man, a very decent man, with honor? And so much of these admirable qualities he just can't deal with a rat?
Well, if he couldn't deal with rats, he shouldn't have been in office in the first place. The world is filled with rats, foreign and domestic. Sometimes it looks to me as if the human race is nothing but a pack of rats...There's no way Donald Trump overlooked the rodent machinations of the RNC and Deep State so blatantly. He can't be that naive...Not only would he not have belonged in office, but he could have never made it in the first place.
I think it is much more likely what Donald Trump had said about Barr-- that he was a dirty corrupt politician, but also a fair and very nice guy-- could be what Donald Trump would have people say about himself when Trump's complicity begins to be better understood.
Did people not notice Trump's corruptions and dirty dealings, or did they forget? His crimes have all been better documented than ever was fully acknowledged. (Strange it is Trump's enemies with the power to disseminate such information have sat on it for the most part...I don't think it is because they are stupid, either. They've chosen to "get Trump" with trivial garbage which wasn't going anywhere, failed, and could be predicted to fail. This is the game, the Punch and Judy show of American politics, which distracts attention from the real game.)
Do we not know everyone in the casino business is mobbed up one way or the other? Something is weaponized against us, alright. It is not our decency and goodness but our ignorance and willingness to deny the reality we see right there at the end of our noses, with eyes wide shut.
It gets to me, though. Trump is decent? What about the fact he's been married three times? That he divorced his first wife Ivanna to marry the bimbo Marla Maples? Was that decent and honorable? (Maybe just maybe there's a bit of the sex fiend in Trump, too. If we'd think about it for a minute, we might see more clearly who he is.) We also ALL know he had sex with a porn star, Stormy Daniels, and he paid her hush money. A lot. The most we could say about Trump in the decency department is he was better than Bill Clinton, or Bill's procurer/fixer, Hilary Clinton.
How can someone say someone else is a dirty and corrupt politician but also say he is a nice guy, a fair guy? Persons who say such things are revealing a great deal about themselves. If you've been the victim of corruption, you don't see the perpetrators as nice guys, even if they happen to have nice smiles, charm, are personable and outgoing. Come on! Also, corruption and fairness, being fair, are not compatible. If you are corrupt you are not fair. You're cheating people, and behaving unjustly. That Trump said that about Barr is telling. Ah, I get it. When Trump goes down, as he is going to go down (F#ck! His AG just betrayed him!), he is going to play it as he was just too nice a guy, too decent, to really fight it. Mass media may now for the first time begin portraying Trump as a remarkable and important man.

DeleteI've been trying to think of a politician who was not a swindler or a thief, but no name springs to mind.
Then, thinking of politicians who are most widely admired, it seems to me that all were astute Machiavellians: Alexander the Great, Elizabeth I, Otto von Bismarck, Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill.
So while I find myself in complete agreement with your sentiment, I think the world will always rate politicians by the outcomes they achieve, not the decency of their methods or their personal integrity.
Thus, in the case of Trump, will future generations see him as a good president, i.e., one who benefited Americans, or a loser as well as a louche and unprincipled scoundrel?
Unless he reverses the election theft, something that a competent administration should surely have prevented, I think he will be written off as a loser: the president who might have saved the sovereign democratic state but blew it or threw it; who failed to reform of the electoral process; who did nothing to contain the influence of the corporate media oligopolists; or to bring clarity about, and coherent direction in response to, the Corona virus. Moreover, he has failed to mount an effective defense of the sovereign US in the face of the globalist ambitions of the American plutocracy.
What underlines Trump's loser status is talk of the possibility that during the last days of the Reich he may pardon not only his magisterial self, but his whole family. What are they? A Branch of the Mafia?
