The subject has been mostly this russia conspiracy theory.

Trump's flaws is that he is probably a fairly complete narcissist.

However. Where does his form of narcissism lead him? Maybe he wants to be known ultimately as America's hero President JUST for the image. And maybe to be that he has to reveal what has been wrong in America's governmental past.

I think one would be quite a narcissist to ever want to be president.

You are not surprising. Your insights are relate perfectly with my lack of surprise.

I don't care about your fantasies, Raza. — Jeremiah

I wasn't caring whether you cared.

You assume much. Mere sign of degree of narcissism.

Facebook — Michael

Perfect example. A platform very interested in censorship of conservative views.

In nearly every public opinion poll Trump's support stems almost exclusively from the Republicans, — Jeremiah

If, or as, a resistance develops to a narrative because the narrative shows itself to be faulty under more intense scrutiny then it is easily conceivable that the previously undecided or growing doubtful previous democrat voters change to Republican.

So as a republican base grows as a consequence then the poll you submitted becomes somewhat mute in terms of anything to do with loyalty to party.

It could become just about a loyalty to who's message is most reasonable.

For example: A new poll in two years time shows larger proportion of Republicans thought "RussiaGate" was a scam. The same poll shows that the listed democrats at the time were 100% in their feelings Trump and Russia collude together at elections.

However, because of facts appearing showing great cracks in RussiaGate theory, democrat voter levels had slipped to 30%. This would only show the Democrat party backed the wrong horse with regard to world event narrative.

So all this could merely mean is that a party which dominates does so, not because of habitual loyalty, but because they become winners over a scam that became obvious as a scam.

Forget global warming, worry about the MAGNETOSPHERE: Earth's magnetic field is collapsing and it could affect the climate and wipe out power grids
Earth's magnetic field has weakened by 15 per cent over the last 200 years
Could be a sign that the planet's north and south poles are about to flip
If this happens, solar winds could punch holes into the Earth's ozone layer
This could damage power grids, affect weather and increase cancer rates
Evidence of flip happening in the past has been uncovered in pottery
As the magnetic shield weakens, the spectacle of an aurora would be visible every night all over the Earth.

Deep within the Earth, a fierce molten core is generating a magnetic field capable of defending our planet against devastating solar winds.

The protective field extends thousands of miles into space and its magnetism affects everything from global communication to animal migration and weather patterns.

But this magnetic field, so important to life on Earth, has weakened by 15 per cent over the last 200 years. And this, scientists claim, could be a sign that the Earth’s poles are about to flip.

Experts believe we're currently overdue a flip, but they're unsure when this could occur.

If a switch happens, we would be exposed to solar winds capable of punching holes into the ozone layer.

The impact could be devastating for mankind, knocking out power grids, radically changing Earth’s climate and driving up rates of cancer.

‘This is serious business’, Richard Holme, Professor of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences at Liverpool University told MailOnline. ‘Imagine for a moment your electrical power supply was knocked out for a few months – very little works without electricity these days.’

The Earth's climate would change drastically. In fact, a recent Danish study believes global warming is directly related to the magnetic field rather than CO2 emissions.

The study claimed that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.

Radiation at ground level would also increase, with some estimates suggesting overall exposure to cosmic radiation would double causing more deaths from cancer.

Researchers predict that in the event of a flip, every year a hundred thousand people would die from the increased levels of space radiation.

'Radiation could be 3-5 times greater than that from the man-made ozone holes. Furthermore, the ozone holes would be larger and longer-lived,' said Dr Colin Forsyth from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at UCL.

The poll that will count politically is yet to come.

Censorship of conservative opinion on some sites, such as facebook, could become a factor. The EU and UN seem to want it.

I have seen different polls covering similar questions with different results.

and the tchnology will save us stuff. — Marcus de Brun

That wasn't me.

And I don't deny changes in climate.

A breakdown of perceptions/beliefs not facts.

Nothing unexpected. After all, it has been the dominant narrative of the mainstream media business cartels.

I'm more surprised at the resistance to dominant narrative.

I think that maybe you responded during a hyperventilation episode due to particular words which triggered context confusion.

I don't blame you. It is merely a condition you may one day overcome.

I should have known that the Muslims were next on the list. — Marcus de Brun

And

you use the usual Trumpian example of Muslims... who are an 'enemy' by virtue of them being Muslim. (that is kinda gross) — Marcus de Brun

I didn't introduce Islam or Muslim into anything terrorism. Have you forgotten the often referred to bogeyman "Isis"?

In fact I defend Muslims against an automatic characterization of them as organizers of terrorist plots.

Trumpism?

I've looked into these matters from years before the current Trump phenomena.

Climate change doctrine is: "like terrorism" — Marcus de Brun

To clarify. "Terrorism" as orchestrated by others other than those accused of it or those that become the patsies.

I think many a Muslim has been utilized as a patsy by someone more of Western origin. But also there are influential Islamic partners of Western banker interests.

\Although he does not pretend to sit on the fence he does make predictions which makes it a bit brave. If he is proven right it pays well, presumably. If not? Maybe he could get a job at buzzfeed.

My goodness! Look at the language that that article uses. The author clearly has an agenda. — Sapientia

Don't most, at least in terms of what they perceive as going on?

I agree that he dramatizes.

In an ideal world it should be fairly obvious to everyone that criticizing one's work colleagues publicly is generally employment suicide,

and I know we do not live in an ideal world, such as that which would accommodate the factor above, as evidenced by your opinion being posed as absolute fact.

Which part is my opinion? That he is an expert? That he has a history of providing reliable information? Or that to be credible just is to be an expert with a history of providing reliable information? — Michael

This is all according to who he has done bossiness for and with. Their opinion. Your opinion is to automatically believe their opinion.

So, all this Steele Dossier stuff looks as though it will be tested. We shall see, maybe, what that test may reveal.

"Climate change" politics itself is a fascist creation. Climates have always changed.

Pollution is catastrophic, or will become so. But this does not necessarily correlate to temperature change.

But "climate change" doctrine, just like terrorism, is a great tool towards people control (otherwise you would not, presumably, had assumed fascism to be some cure).

China has its own long political development. In many ways it is now returning to it's own ancient government structure, which features a class of academicians who problem solve fairly independently of the prevailing politics — Banno

After they cleared a previous generation of academicians out during and around Tiananmen Square.

Fascism is necessarily on the rise, and it may be the salvation of the race — Marcus de Brun

It appears you are applying for employment. Gulag general, perhaps.

Yeah, and we should believe something Trump says because a) he's well informed and b) never lies — Benkei

They all lie. It just depends on what.

However, the "Russia" conspiracy theory will not be proved or disproved merely on what Trump says.

You accused me of saying that Steele automatically scrupulous because of his job title. And I didn't. The facts are that a) he is an expert, and b) he has a history of providing reliable information. a) + b) = c)redible. — Michael

As I said it is your opinion coupled with your report of other opinion. So we will see how Steele goes over time. It is very early yet. It may take until after the 2020 election when things really get done on this (if and once Trump gets a firmer grip on staff or has made appropriate staff changes. He would certainly deserve to make wholesale changes if he secured a 2nd term).

We'll see if the prediction made here becomes manifest.

What Trump once said to the media now applies to all of official Washington: “No one believes you anymore.” From Strzok to Brennan, from Yates to Comey, from Rosenstein to Mueller, they all assume that the day of reckoning approaches. What they don’t realize is that the wrath will befall them. A public fed up with phony FISA warrants and partisanship that masquerades as “professionalism” will not see Trump as the villain in this sorry tale but its victim.

I have only stated the fact that Steele is a credible ex-MI6 operative — Michael

There you go again. A "fact" he is "credible". Try looking up definitions of "credible" and "scrupulous".

but it was also the professional findings of a credible ex-MI6 operative — Michael

Yeah, I already responded to this opinion of yours that somehow Steele is automatically scrupulous merely because of his job title.

No, my criticism is that the article misleadingly referred to it with the disparaging term “Hillary’s opposition research” and falsely claimed that it was all the warrant had as evidence — Michael

It was what the warrant WAS not what it HAD. A FISA warrant. The process by which it was obtained.

That is what is under particular scrutiny.

And yes, Hillary funded to Steele's operation.

Your opinion is that Steele is and was unscrupulous.

Your "criticism", I should say.

Your "claim" was opinion.

Oh, I had forgotten that anyone currently working for an intelligence agency, whether MI6 or FBI or CIA in automatically as pure as driven snow.

And that former employess come whistleblowers were all the actual dirty ones.

Excuse me while watch some other forms , but with better cinematic values, of fictional stories.

Some reading material:

July 24, 2018, 12:05 am

George Neumayr

He (Mueller) inherited a hopelessly biased probe and has made it worse.
The civil libertarians of the press — those card-carrying ACLU members who toss and turn at night worrying about the diminution of “privacy” — all rushed to the defense of the FBI after the release of its disgracefully flimsy FISA warrant on Carter Page. The hypocrisy of it all takes one’s breath away, as reporters and commentators, normally so censorious of privacy violations, coldly cheered the government’s harassment of Page.

The evidentiary basis for the warrant was nil. It rested upon nothing more than Hillary’s opposition research and partisan articles in the press, some of which were fed to the reporters by Hillary’s opposition researcher. Were anyone other than a Trump campaign associate the target of such an outrageously unfounded and biased warrant, the media would be crying McCarthyism. Instead, anchors continue to shill for the smears, doubling and tripling down on surveillance that yielded no charges. Taking victim-shaming and nativist paranoia to new heights, they are saying to Page essentially: Well, it serves you right for talking to foreigners.

Did you know that “bragging” about talking to foreigners entitles the government to subject every inch of your life to surveillance? So say those citizens of the world in the press, who cited approvingly Marco Rubio’s idiotic comment about Page’s “bragging,” as if that constituted a form of evidence itself. “Little” Marco has never seemed so little.

That the FBI could ransack Page’s communications on the basis of such sophomoric dreck should scare everyone. The partisan hacks who assembled the FISA application — note that the liberal activist Sally Yates signed it — even made use of an opinion piece asserting falsely that the GOP had weakened its platform position on Russia. This is hackery on a staggering scale, and it is impossible to explain apart from the arrogance of the Obama administration, whose sense of entitlement grew in proportion to the media’s protection of it.

This farcical FISA warrant is one more withered branch on Mueller’s poisoned tree. He inherited a hopelessly biased investigation and has managed to make it worse. His “collusion” probe is looking at everything but collusion. The careerist weasel Rod Rosenstein, who is the Dr. Frankenstein in this political horror show, created a monster in Mueller and that monster is now rampaging through Manhattan, looking for the black books of madams and the filched phone calls of crooked lawyers.

Mueller’s supposedly impeccable reputation is a joke. He is just a garden-variety abusive prosecutor, whom Rosenstein hired to give official Washington what it wanted, an unfolding coup against a reviled outsider. As the ruling class’s battering ram against Trump, Mueller is working feverishly to magnify Trump’s political mistakes into quasi-impeachable offenses. But that tack won’t work. The tree that Mueller is plucking, weakened by too much poison in its roots, will collapse in the end on top of him.

His probe will peter out in a pathetic political food-fight. Does anybody really think that Trump would quit before Congress reached the incredibly high bar necessary for impeachment and conviction, if things even got to that? In the end, this is all just empty noise — a hobbling political problem for the Trump presidency, to be sure, but not its final chapter.

Trump, after all, is adept at driving the stake through monsters and has been poking Mueller with it for months. By treating his probe as an open-ended search for dirt of any kind on Trump, Mueller has conformed perfectly to Trump’s description of him as a partisan witch-hunter. That Mueller is giving immunity to John Podesta’s brother, while nailing Paul Manafort for identical offenses, sums up the shamelessly one-sided character of his probe. It is obvious that Mueller has picked up some very bad prosecutorial habits over the years, exhibiting the special arrogance and obtuseness of a canonized mandarin. Such figures in Washington could once count on a docile public. Not anymore. The rise of Trump has exposed Washington’s entitled frauds, whose hurled boomerangs now fly back at them.

What Trump once said to the media now applies to all of official Washington: “No one believes you anymore.” From Strzok to Brennan, from Yates to Comey, from Rosenstein to Mueller, they all assume that the day of reckoning approaches. What they don’t realize is that the wrath will befall them. A public fed up with phony FISA warrants and partisanship that masquerades as “professionalism” will not see Trump as the villain in this sorry tale but its victim.

Well, that is really for discovery to determine in a court, not Congress — Akanthinos

I suppose it starts somewhere. Particular members of congress are the ones currently frustrated by what they are not getting to see. Maybe court is their next avenue. I don't know.

The last weeks have shown Mueller and Rosenstein to be machines. — Akanthinos

Programmed machines.

That is dumb, tho. You dont impeach someone for missing a legal deadline, — Akanthinos

The argument is not that legal deadlines were not met but why they were not met.

Consider what "chair" really stands for. It is a word used, essentially, to describe a sensation (in a particular way when coupled with the word "sit").

The sensation of sitting on a flat raised surface will feel much the same as that on a "chair".

The arse on a chair, or other surface, contributes equally the sensation value of the "sitting on chair" experience.

No arse on chair means no chair in that experience. The "chair" sensation is not existing unless arse is equally involved.

So is that sensation you, while sitting on the chair, or just the sensation of "sitting on a chair" given that the chair has to exist equally in that moment when your arse is on it?


So I argue that in that "sitting" moment or experience your arse is as much "you" as the chair is "you".

His Clinton Foundation connections, his HSBC bank connections (at the time HSBC were doing what they were eventually caught doing).

He is tied in with the biggest financial frauds that have taken place in US history. He is "swampy" in the extreme.

Dunno - are you? — Heiko

No, it is impossible.

I have no idea why you think this. — Baden

"Fraud" is mild.

So, you'd support impeachment proceedings against him for the sake of transparency, righ — Baden

I will be following everything that plays out.

Yes, I will support a process being attempted to impeach Trump and then see where it may lead.
I don't know if it can get off the ground and neither do I know if this Rosenstein thing will go any further......but I think Rosey is a fraud and I think Trump is many things that I would not be friends with, but I do not go along with the Russia, Russia BS narrative.

Now it’s entered a totally surreal phase, where Trump can stand in front of the international media and thunder ‘there is no collusion with Russia’ while he’s colluding with the President of Russia — Wayfarer

Rosenstein himself has said Trump, or any other American, has not been shown to collude with the Russian government on the matter of supposed influence of the 2016 US election.

He, and the currently employed senior personal of the "intelligence communities", have also stated that election results were not shown to have been affected by some Russian person's facebook ads or any other media forms.

I understand this information is not necessarily an adequate cure for various forms and outbreaks of Trump Derangement Syndrome but it is usually always the case that the sick first has to realize their sickness.
