By-the-way, I saw somebody on the interwebz suggesting that trump's job is to get the cunt elected. The idea is to have somebody like trump to point at and say "look! the murderous cunt is better than him!". Sounds sorta plausible. At least if your target audience is 'progressive' 'politically correct' fascists, who are the majority of the US electorate apparently.
Yeah, a friend of mine is in that camp.
Plausible? Quite. But too conspiratorial for me. I tend to believe that human stupidity is a larger force than conspiracy.
I may, however, simply be being stupid.
I see what you did there. ;o) But that's not stupid. Just cautious. Collusion between Clinton and Trump makes complete sense, but in the absence of evidence directly confirming it one should not "believe" it. Most people can not avoid conflating a speculative model that does fit the facts, with the facts themselves. Intelligence services do all they can to train their personnel out of that habit, with limited success. There is also a wild card factor: It is reasonable to presume that Clinton really is psychotic, Trump really is profoundly neurotic, and that either would turn on the other under the right kind of pressure. This leads to all kinds of amusing speculation: Is it even possible that Trump could keep such a deal, vs. double crossing Clinton and trying to win the election by any means necessary? How much temptation can a narcissistic personality resist? "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt To this day, State sanctioned history books do not mention Roosevelt's well documented and brilliantly successful "plan" to provoke the Japanese to declare war on the United States. This was as much a covert military operation as a series of foreign policy moves: It included close monitoring Japan's own plans and force deployments, and timely changes in U.S. force deployments to facilitate the unopposed Pearl Harbor attack while preserving U.S. aircraft carriers. History is fossilized propaganda. :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJX8qo7AAoJEECU6c5XzmuqD/0H/R4ttEEfjnnvgje17tZxWzzD MjiC6duEPwCn3fmOQv5FaH9pJNCFQZC6PLpnrzZ4OMrKVdAsxJCQja2iacGgw+KB nIbNzghHSqxOWueRlnLiPPI2qayS7IrwonKE5pFTY2vGW58CjZRGDNTbRaVOW2A/ A945vz/kyJ+qMqqHe3xTrY5e6GPsl3MJMuB3PJBFC93voRT88+l+IDrU2dQUEBNs s8ZUgtPAVJnSRp/Sp1E5CQy4Gaz2LNryX0nh55/2HqKKfDw83zqFCJqjYbHUe2Nq 2hVYcj25cN9szMShp6kkVCq/db/U23sts+Rbv0kQ658buipeLbNCrrrVXKy923Y= =2zPt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
