Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

Rarely do I get this far, reading a thread like this one. The lure worked, as I think of snow with great affection. It's so true what it does to everything outside, and probably inside as well. My mind is quiet on walks in the snow, unlike the bickering and more that I see here. I have tried very hard to live my life in simplicity, without so much of the technology that is leaned on by all who are addicted and don't even realize it. Maybe that is part of the fact that to this day, I have never owned a cell phone. I own a computer and that is more than enough for me. 
 I can only hope that when we go outside, we look up. Maybe a large flock of geese are flying by. Perhaps a cloud formation, indescribably beautiful. Sure I am doing what little that I can to keep it this way, but in the end, just like watching the world news, I am helpless to do more than pray.  
  There is no doubt that mankind is arrogant, warlike, and greedy. That is the negative side of course, but no matter what you believe about it, or how you live your life, it cannot change this truth.
  Time to go out and watch the stars (I know, while I still can) Here in Wyo., they are horizon to horizon.
Darn Old Chump....he's the greatest, but not in any way positive.

You can be fooled, but continuing the charade is not only idiotic, but dangerous as well.....

Oh, pardon me.....He is the greatest at one thing for sure.

Lying.

he did after all say “ grab em by the carbon “... oh wait, he did say something different...
Perhaps if real news of the world existed for a day or two, in the daily news of the various popular newspapers of America, you will know the real damage to the USA, the total destruction of all alliances and treatises, this clown singled handly promotes in a total irrational frenzy never seen by anybody in the 20 th century...

All people that worked with this man are nowhere to be seen anymore...His formidable empty crooked brain creates the void...I am speechless...Really...No Hollywood script can produce his like in a film...Because Cinema must be believable...I dont even believe that he can exist and some can vote for that to this day...Then naming him the greatest of all history is …. I had no words.... Perhaps the simple word that came to my mind is good enough I will not say it...

All things must pass. The world has survived worse but it will take some time to clean up the mess. 
What could be a fitting fate for our dear old Chump....?

Perhaps.....a prison term, of the same length as his public disservice...

With cellmate Bubba, the known psychopath...with a taste for tush...

Any tush will do just fine....
It would be funny to see how many hot stampers there are of artists who played at the Dumpsterfire inaugural....

@asvjerry , you’re not alone.
In fact, the majority of this country feels the same way you do.

By the way, I wish I could go out and be humbled by the stars that used to do that back when I was young.

The other one survives for a moment, but truth being truth, the other one was imploding right now under our eyes...

The 'man' is a hopeless aberration...a smooth-talking backtracking backstabbing lecher...
Rules by whim...if that fails, threats....followed by small minded fear....
I'm going to pause for a moment....I have much better activities to attend to, then to waste the energy in my fingers, illustrating the fallacy of a fool...

But, like Arnold....

Actually he really is not very smooth talking at all, his public speaker demeanor is quite pathetic.
Reminds me very much of, " are you smarter than a 5th grader"
At which Tramp fails miserably and sets a new low bar.
3,695 posts01-27-2020 9:35pmPravda is just Rubles washed into dollars....
Your post is a candid illustration of my point about the total absence of international news, and the total ignorance of the world scene in the American media...Russia dont need US dollars no more for years...Asia go with them, and the world wait …. Then Pravda can be just rubles washed into rubles...If I can correct … :)
Don't go lumping me in there. I know perfectly well Russia has been diversifying out of dollars and into gold, bypassing the normal global dollar exchange system in favor of direct currency exchange with trading partners. Same goes for China.

Every time we foolishly use our dollar dominance to punish with sanctions we only encourage all the more strongly the move out of the dollar. Foolish, because it undermines confidence in the currency. Which being fiat, confidence is all.

Not that any of this is reported in "the international news" here, any more than the truth about the fake climate crisis or the truth about the billions democrats like the Bidens and Clintons have siphoned out of Ukraine. But the truth is there, you just have to go looking for it.
Which I do. And encourage everyone else to do as well.
There is one thing that work for Trump, except for the teaching help of his father and of his other crooked mentor in the beginning and this is luck... The man has more luck than all the New-York state population...

But even luck has a date of expiration....

If he was a friend of mine by the way of fate,i will advise him not to trouble himself in buying casinos to be rich, I will advise him to buy a ticket... Deal done...



This story is true:

«What that takes to be elected great marshal of the French empire your majesty, ask a beautiful woman to Napoleon...
He smile and said nothing...
The woman said: "I know he must be courageous..."
The emperor was smiling but staying mute...
Another older woman answered :" He must be intelligent your majesty for sure ? "
The emperor was laughing...
A teen lady walk in, saying candidly " He must be good with the arms and strong on horses"
The emperor was too much laughing to answer immediately...But at the end says that: " My dear ladies what use would be a strong, courageous, intelligent, able with arms Marshall if he is not lucky? He can die the first day of battle."
And all were laughing with the Emperor...

" Luck is the opposite of truth, we ask for luck when there is none" Chico Marx

You know that Millercarbon, because in the electorate pool of Trump voters, you are a luminary, a stellar brain mastering logic, the ordinary Trump voter does not even know the word rubles... :)

You are so to speak an Einstein in the Trump crowds. I said it seriously...I respect your intelligence even if I mock your vote...But like my wife said often to me, intelligence is not good judgment... :)


Deplorables, the coalition of deplorables made it happen with a big nudge from Vladimir

i have yet to meet a Dumpsterfire supporter who would let wife and daughter stay overnight at Trump Tower top floor... but hey, let’s give em Nukes...

grab em by the Beatitudes.... oh that’s right, he didn’t say that did he
Sad but true story: I met a woman at a wine tasting and the topic turned to politics. We discussed candidates and she went on about Hillary being a pedophile (you know, Pizzagate) and it was then that I told her what Churchill said: "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."

She was taken aback some and asked if I was insulting her. The poor thing really didn't know.

All the best,

There is no democracy possible without thinking voters, without education democracy does not exist except on the manipulated theater...

The dumbing down is studied well by some scholars (Chomsky etc).

Trump is surfing on this wave of ignorance that touch the sky with modern illiteracy created by entertainment tv first, and now with greater power with phones...

Some think that connecting brain with A.I. will make them smart seriously... (Kurzweil)
 What can we say exceeding this limit?

The spectacle of very intelligent man walking with no clues to their fate is amazing...The only explanation for this is greed for power and fears...



This just in: Mark Short, former aide to Trump and now for Pence, says Pence never heard what Bolton told Trump. And Romney is openly calling for Bolton to testify.

The knives are coming out...
Most of them feels now like rats in the watering boat, they will turn against each other to save their skin...

Good Lord Miller.
You truly are serious aren't you?

Trump is for real.

DYODD. Please. The man is for real.

Look into the Central Park skating rink, the lady living rent free in Trump tower, the mugging he jumped out of the limo to stop, the guy who stopped to help change a tire and got his mortgage paid off, on and on and on. Obama said those jobs are not coming back- now the economy is so good they won't even talk about it. That's how you know its all fake. They go on and on and on Trump is this Trump is that- where's the evidence behind any of the negative stories? I asked the rabid dem at work, why is he racist? What has he actually done? Give me one example! Nada.
Plus- and this is the best part of all- go watch how consistent Trump has been over the years. Like he's been planning for this his whole life.I see YouTube is doing its usual thing making it impossible to find what you're looking for, which they always do when they don't want you finding it. So maybe tomorrow. But seriously=
DYODD. Please. Trump is for real.
Trump plays 4-d chess....For sure...

Millercarbon, I trust more the advice about Trump given during his election campaign by Bloomberg the ex mayor of New-York, "The little crooks of New-York i know them well "
Anybody can see that Trump is void of any real decency...
And the hangers on keep going to jail

but Charlie please do explain away all his associates in the slammer and more headed that way.....

Do you know the name of the mentor and friend of Trump in the beginnings of his business?

That says all... Read that and between the lines you will understand...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn

This Roy Cohn was also the mentor of the Senator McCarthy, illustrious creative and manipulative grey mind behind the communists witch hunt that destroy careers and lifes...

There is an instructive amazing debate on tv between Roy Cohn and Gore Vidal... (youtube)

"Rats of the same color like sunbathing together" Groucho Marx

@mahgister, Ah yes....good 'ol Roy Cohn. 

Dirty as they come, screwed everyone, and eventually disbarred. 
To think he was Trump's go to guy for advice speaks volumes.

By the way, I loved Gore Vidal. He's the one who came up with,
The United States of Amnesia.

All the best,

Gore Vidal has that which lacks to Roy Cohn, a real working brain... A great writer also, and a great politician brain too intelligent to be trusted by some crowds...

This is long, but watch it, really watch and listen, not arguing, not tuning out, but actually listening to what the guy has been saying all along. Tell me its not damn near prescient. Tell me this is not a great man. Just please get the order straight- watch first, THEN tell.

An interlude well spent; dinner, dishes, and dishing from the daily news...

Ah, Mike...."I didn't know what was going on with Darnold!"

....why does that sound like Monday AM quarterbacking....on the following Friday?  Especially when others have indicated otherwise....and no VP is That Clueless....

...seems a lot of Senators are (a least) nervous....if not out 'n out Spooked.....

But, they're quite Awake now, aren't they?

Now....the real show begins..... ;)

Hey, MC?   It's OK....here, sit down...you're beginning to come down from an overdose of the not-so-KoolAid....Truth is a bit of wrench, and the effects are initially unpleasant....

..but, it'll get better....clarity has a calming quality that, after the shock subsides, makes the fog of fallacy clear....

Like getting a bucket of rubbing alcohol poured on your naked body in a stiff wind.....;)

*LMAO*
Sorry, I avoid hagiographies like the plague. To say he's prescient glosses over the fact that there's lots of people like him and he just happened to make it to the top, which exposed him on a national and  worldwide basis. 

You see it's all an act. Right after Trump won, his son Eric, was confronted by a Muslim comedian (the name escapes me). Eric told him to relax, that it's all an act for them.

In the new book, A Very Stable Genius (just out), Scaramucci , asks Trump if it's all an act. Trump replied that it is and always was, and that he didn't understand why people didn't get it.

Personally, I'd love to see him testify, but he never will. Back when Dowd was prepping him for Mueller, he called it off and said if Trump did testify, he (Dowd) would end up in an orange jumpsuit, right next to him. The man is barely controllable and flies off the handle on a second's notice. He'd implicate himself in a matter of minutes.

I think we must go back to climate changes debate if we want to rescue millercarbon… :)

After all he is the OP of this thread and we must help him...
Nonoise, that'd be the best bit of 'reality television' we could ever hope for....  Horribly sad, and ultimately hard to watch....but an object lesson in the cost of hubris....

Darnold's spent his life ducking consequence....by hook, crook, and sheer bluster.....but the chickens do eventually come back to the roost....

...but when the chickens come home hungry for their pound of flesh....

It would be hard to watch a man shatter before one's eyes....or attempt to maintain the image he's spent so long creating melt.

Just desserts....
