There's a good editorial in today's New York Times (The Peculiar Populism of Donald Trump) that explains how the left lost its working-man's base. As people grow more affluent their concerns evolve from the basics of living to less immediate concerns like the environment and LGBT rights, and the left evolved right along with them, to the point where they no longer seemed to represent the concerns of the working man. Nice article. I liked the image that shows income inequality geographically:
The blue and light blue represent 55% of US GDP. The CALexit people note that California has the 6th largest economy in the world, and I suspect that the Washington to Boston corridor, and that leaves a lot of left out low income in "fly-over" America.
... to the point where they no longer seemed to represent the concerns of the working man. And because of the Clintonism neo-lib plan to crowd the GOP ever further to the right while feeling entitled to votes from their old base constituents, the labor unions, the blacks and immigrants, etc, assuming progressives would choose republican-light over republican-dark, assuming people would vote even when nobody on the ticket represented their issues.
How fast will the common man wake up? Will it happen when his insurance disappears? When his fishing streams disappear? When a highway rumbles through his back yard? When his clean water dries up? Who knows. Trump is a populist with an amazing ability to convince people he's on their side. There is hope ...
quote: So this turnabout occurred due to massive grass roots protests from sportsmen (and women) as well as the environmentalists. Guess the republicans thought they could ignore "fly-over" America just as much as the DNC/DINO democratsby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

... It included the single gunman siege in Sydney, Aus. ... It also included the single machete wielding terrorist at the Louvre in Paris with misinformation made up by FauxNoise (soon to be PhaqueNoise) Nutwerk, that hostages were taken and the museum was in lockdown. The attack was in the store not the museum, he attacked a soldier and the injured soldier shot him. End. Curiously, I'm surprised he didn't include the Bowling Green Massacre ... perhaps out of sensitivity for the victims ... He is trying to drum up reasons to attack Iran, possibly with nuclear bombs, and truth be damned. This is a very dangerous fool that doesn't know consequences or care as long as he can posture as a leader.

So Trump wants to build a bigger wall. Sales of 2x4s in Mexico may go up. Or some technician will set up a system with drones to lift people over the wall (for a price) and return empty to Mexico ... And then there are the tunnels. It's all for show, so we can expect "TRUMP" in gold letters on it.

The regulation requires that agents make potential remuneration to themselves a secondary rather than primary consideration. Their client's best interests should be kept first and foremost. It's intended to prevent the abuses that occur when agents sell investment vehicles that make them a lot of money without regard to their client's financial well being. Look up boiler room. My advisor gets a fixed percentage of my return. If my return is negative his take is negative.

A mole or a handler?
The drip, drip, drip is now like the Oroville dam. What did the President know and when did he know it? Who else knew this guy was compromised? These people are playing games with OUR national security. For what, monetary and political gain? This of course brings Russian hacking of the election back into the center ring -- is this tit 4 tat? Is the promise of sanctions lifting payback for the hack? And Flynn could not have promised sanctions on his own, he would have to have had authorization from Trump or the Russians would have laughed at him. Do you remember the drip, drip, drip on Watergate and Nixon's WH attempts to deny and discredit?

Not looking good for Trump and his dream team. Indeed the shoes are dropping fast.
Intelligence Committee will investigate possible Russia-Trump links "Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday ..."
GOP senator calls for exhaustive investigation into Trump-Russia connections "Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Tuesday said there should be an exhaustive investigation into the ties between Russia and the Trump administration." That's two republicans on the Intelligence Committee -- so we can be pretty sure that investigation will occur.
House Democrats Demand Michael Flynn Probe In Yet Another Committee "Democratic members on the House Foreign Affairs Committee are calling for a separate investigation ... " Watch this space.

At this pace of dumb fuckery? I don't see him lasting through the year without impeachment or stroking out. And I certainly don't think any appointments should be approved until this Russian scandal is sorted out -- if Russia did alter the outcome of the election in exchange for lifting sanctions that is treason.

Wonder what the Toilet Police do about XXY and XYY etc people.
quote: Is an XXY person male or female? Who chooses and when? Is an XYY person male or female? Who chooses and when? Should not they get to choose their identity? What about people who develop as female but have male genes because their hormones didn't switch on the male gene development (female is the default)?
quote: So do the the Toilet Police put her in male bathrooms because of her genes? By what perverted morality would they do that? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wonder what he will be like with a room half full of hostile people, some of the rest being luke warm, and few cheerleaders? Will he bring his own audience of phsychophants (yes that's intentional) or try to load the gallery with them?
Will there be Russian flags?
Trump supporters blatantly waving Russian flags at CPAC. Pathetic.
