    One man’s view. Actually two men. I basically agree with it. I know not everyone will.

    When Worse Is The Enemy Of Bad

    By Paul Edwards

    July 24, 2018 “Information Clearing House” – There comes a time in the decline of an empire when–in its hubris, its arrogance–it decouples from reason and blindly blunders toward its fate in a ludicrous ugly trance of stupidity. To paraphrase Walter Cronkite–we are there.

    Trump makes his one positive, even useful, gesture as President, and the decayed corpse of the Democratic Party bursts its cerements with a stinking roar of horror.

    The claim that all that is wrong with America is due to the malignant machinations of Putin is the most blatantly false, potentially disastrous bucket of bullshit ever inflicted by the matrix on this ignorant, credulous, propagandized people.

    The MSM–the PR arm of the War Machine Complex that owns us–has so infected the national mind with the sleazy fiction concocted by the Democrat’s Geezer Politburo–the DNC slugs, Schumer, Pelosi and the geriatric myrmidons– that Trumpophobe Automatons rage at Putin and howl for a war, the horror of which they can’t begin to imagine.

    Because hostility, provocation and resultant war is exactly what is comprehended in this national insanity. Blaming their election loss on Russia, after decades impoverishing working people for the obscene enrichment of the War Machine and its megacorporate monsters, would just be ridiculous if it weren’t so foolishly, desperately dangerous.

    As vile, as odious as he is, Democrat honchos know they can’ t beat Trump by shell-gaming Americans for their Wall Street donors any more–hey, it worked fine for ages–so they slime him as a traitor in bed with that monster we’ve been made to fear most: Putin and the Evil Empire Redux.

    More incredibly, they’ve persuaded so-called progressives, who, historically, fiercely defended the Bill of Rights and valiantly battled the house organs of the National Security State, that those goats nests of dishonesty and disease are pure, unsullied repositories of Constitutional rectitude.

    After decades of proven baldfaced crime, deceit and the dirtiest pool at home and abroad, the CIA, FBI, NSA, the Justice Department and the whole foetid nomenklatura of sociopathic rats, are portrayed as white knights of virtue dispensing verity as holy writ. And “progressives” buy it.

    These are the vermin that gave us Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs, Chile, the Contras, Iraq’s WMD, and along the way managed to miss the falls of the Shah and Communism.

    Truly an Orwellian clusterfuck, this. War Party Dems misleading naive liberal souls sickened by Trump into embracing the dirty, vicious lunacy Hillary peddled to her fans, the bankers, brokers, and CEOs of the War Machine.

    Trump is a fool who may yet blunder us into war; the Dems and the Deep State cabal would give us war by design.

    IMO, the author hurts his own case by wildly exaggerating what the Dems say and do, regarding Russia. He uses classic straw men to paint a picture of rabid, unleashed hysteria, when it’s actually his own portrayal of the Dems that comes across as hysterical, at least to me.

    The claim that all that is wrong with America is due to the malignant machinations of Putin is the most blatantly false, potentially disastrous bucket of bullshit ever inflicted by the matrix on this ignorant, credulous, propagandized people.

    Yes, they voice concern. But I’ve actually followed this for two years, closely, far more than is healthy for me, and I’d say, if anything, the Dems don’t say enough about it. All too many of them are meek and mild in the face of it all.

    The loudest, most aggressive voices have always been Republican Never-Trumpers, and it’s just not close.

    IMO, the author paints a false picture when he leaves Republicans out and wildly exaggerates Dem words and deeds. I honestly don’t think he’s following this closely. I am. Too closely, as mentioned.

    Now, does he make great points when it comes to all the rah rah praise for the FBI and various intel agencies, especially given their history? Yeah. Definitely. But, again, that’s both parties, with a carve out for Republicans who have sold their souls to protect Trump at all costs.

    It can be cringe-worthy to watch that in the hearings, on C-Span, for instance, etc. Even appalling at times.

    But that’s been the game for both parties for a long, long time. They’ve jockeyed for the position of “Most Patriotic evah” forever, totally misunderstanding what that means, or how it should be demonstrated. Like, “Support the Troops!!” etc. etc. How about NOT sending them into harm’s way for once?

    Anyway, it’s frustrating for me to read or watch pundits from across the spectrum seemingly so out of sync with reality. In the age of Trump, it’s virtually contagious.
