It was funny as hell. I normally don't feel such schadenfreude glee, in fact it's out of character with me, but man did that feel good with this guy.

Michael He is not bad if you think of him as a seated stand up comedian. I made every wrong call he did except I changed my mind about voting for him (which I did) when I saw the BREXIT vote. If Bernie Sanders had run I would have voted for him, not because I am a socialist (which I am not) but because Bernie struck me as being the only human being in the bunch. But Bernie did not run, so I voted for Trump on the grounds that he would cause the Hillaryites great pain and woe if he won. Schadenfreude wins again. And I finally got something right.

william.scherk Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Governance by candlelight ... ( (members and guests must now keep their phones and cameras in their pockets. Good thinking) 16 hours ago, william.scherk said: Good to know that the "ruling class" has something to do on a Saturday night besides getting drunk and screaming at the help. What does that mean? That there is a "ruling class" or that they show up at Mar-a-Lago? Does it mean that they are "elites"? Well, that depends on what you mean by elite. The ruling class globalist wannabe elites at Politico report on some issues surrounding Mar-a-Lago, the combination of cash-cow and Winter White House. It is relatively easier for an 'elite' to gain a membership at Mar-a-Lago than a schlub, considering the initiation fee. Frankly, some of non-Schlub members of Cash-Cow seem like freaking whiners, at least according to the fiends at Politico: Quote Members also are bothered. They can’t get into Trump’s club on Saturday nights anymore without booking dinner reservations weeks in advance, and that’s becoming more of a challenge as the commander in chief keeps coming down from Washington and people keep pouring in to see him. “Everyone wants to be close to the president,” a new member who joined Mar-a-Lago last spring told POLITICO. Many longtime members, who paid anywhere from $25,000 to $150,000 in upfront fees for the privilege of getting into Mar-a-Lago, aren’t happy with the extra security and media attention that come with a club owner who also happens to be a sitting president of the United States. But the changes have been great for Trump’s bottom line. His club, which under a 1993 agreement with the town of Palm Beach must cap membership at 500, recently raised initiation rates to $200,000. “You can’t buy a membership to Camp David,” said Jack McDonald, a former Mar-a-Lago member and former Palm Beach mayor, referring to the Maryland presidential retreat that Trump has yet to visit. “I can’t think of any other president where you could join a private club and actually see him fairly consistently.”Another side benefit: Charity and political events booked in the ornate gold-infused ballroom or other parts of Trump’s 20-acre estate are benefiting from the expectation that the president might drop in, as he did for a recent wedding. For example, the annual Lincoln Day Dinner gala on March 24 planned by the Palm Beach County GOP, with single seats going for $300 or tables for as much as $5,000, sold out a month and a half ago. If you don't find any of those issues humorous .... I can't believe this is how Obama repays the man who finally proved he was an American citizen.

Does it mean that they are "elites"? Well, that depends on what you mean by elite. William, Elite ruling class does not mean having a lot of money. It could, but money is not the fundamental part. It's a class mentality thing. You should know that since you are into class warfare and all. Here's an example to not leave you dangling in generalities. People who think it's funny that Jeff Sessions greeted guests and is one of them thar stoopid Christian Scientists, so that explains it all, is speaking from a ruling class elitist mindset. Those things are beneath what people in their superior class would do (or even dream of doing) and to see one of the powerful doing these things is a hoot to them. Ah... it's so good to know one is among the superior ones and not the livestock. Imagine one day if we could genetically engineer this...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 William, This is what I don't like about politics. Make fun of Ben Carson's religious beliefs and insinuate he's an idiot if you like, but if you ever have to go under the knife for brain surgery, maybe he's the guy you want and not some elite-feeling atheist who's a mediocre doctor. What this means is there is no big-picture reason for feeling inherently superior to a man like Ben Carson, then painting him with the colors of backwater revival meets. Ben Carson can separate Siamese twins connected at the brain. I can't. And you can't, either. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill on your merriment about doofus Ben Carson. I'm just trying to provide a little wider perspective than the myths we all believe. Shit, I've even heard there are intelligent people who think we humans are cooking Planet Earth like in a pressure cooker made out of air. How's that for a stupid myth?

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 VD = Viral Deception One of the funniest things to happen recently in social media is kinda related to Trump. It grew out of CNN's campaign of trying to brand Bannon (Breitbart) and other fellow traveller sites and people like Infowars, Michael Savage, etc. as "fake news." They pumped it hard, but the damn thing turned into a boomerang and bopped them right on the noggin. And the fuss brought a crowd throwing stones at CNN, too. Soon there were even CNN people saying--on air--that the term "fake news" was un-American, was dangerous propaganda, yada yada yada. But the term "fake news" and "very fake news" stuck to CNN like crazy glue and they keep trying to get rid of it. So some bonehead over there (one Kathleen Hall Jamieson) came up with the term "viral deception" and said they will start calling fake news VD to compare it to venereal disease. That way people will want to avoid it. These idiots honestly thought the only reason a name sticks is because someone says it. So if they say a different name, that will stick to their original target and that's the way it works for them. They simply don't understand that name and reality have to have something in common in order to stick and that's why they can't shake the "fake news" description. Soon social media was abuzz with people saying CNN has tested positive for VD, they were talking about "Wolf Blisters," on Twitter there appeared #CNNHasVD, and so on. And the jokes still keep on coming. Milo gives a breakdown here. Man did this blow up in CNN's faces. Needless to say, with this wholesale mockery backlash, they abandoned the VD campaign right out of the gate. But it was so obvious this would happen, it was predictable, wasn't it? I mean, come on...
