He ran on changing precisely that long standing, bipartisan agenda. And now he's made tremendous strides to achieve what he campaigned on. It's why he's such a threat to both sides and the media. It's why the coverage is 94% negative and the comparisons to Hitler began on day one (despite no evidence of his policies/leadership being in any way fascist or repressive to civil rights/liberties). America First isn't isolationist, it isn't even nationalist as much as it is about changing that exact agenda. Really smart men and women who spent their lives fighting for this country realize the truth of what you said above - and it's why they are working with Trump to change it despite the tremendous risk. The last president who so blatantly attempted to buck this bipartisan agenda wound up shot in Dallas. I guess we'll have to see the end results. Thus far I don't (not can't) see a marked difference in approach, only tone. A good start would be drawing down our ridiculous proxy w/ Russia via Iran in Syria. It's out of control imo. There are reports of US troops taking deliberate fire from Turkish backed fighters while patrolling areas in conjunction with the Turkish military. While conducting joint patrol operations with Turkey. From my point of view there is no plan, just the continuation of bad policies. The Kashoggi thing may be related tangentially, but the war in Syria is now well and truly in 'not our fight' territory. I know you think I'm not seeing the bigger picture. I'm trying to evaluate based solely on the evidence available to me. So when 44 assassinates a US citizen and his 16 year old son in Yemen and then 45 kills his 8 year old daughter and 7 other children...I have a hard time seeing the kind of change you're alluding to. I'd like to think when/if it happens I'll be able to recognize it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to see what happened in Georgia. Polling places closed, voting machines supplied with no power cords and dying off battery with four hour lines, voting machines in minority districts being left in the back, people showing up to vote and being told they already voted provisionally, people casting absentee ballots and them sitting uncounted at first. The Secretary of State (running for gov) refusing to recuse himself. This is stuff if plain as day for anyone with an unbiased set of eyes and a sense of right and wrong.

Like Florida, Georgia's election would warrant international observers if Georgia were a foreign country. But you still have to go a ways further to prove all that was malicious voter oppression rather than sheer incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all run through a series of shell companies that trace back ultimately to a St. Petersburg professional services company in which the Koch Brothers own a controlling stake.

Deranged Rhino Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (As I've been saying, this is spy v spy stuff, not an innocent journalist being killed by a dictator-in-waiting) The spin is so fast, so hard on this story it should be illuminating to everyone paying attention. If you step back from the emotional manipulation being attempted by the media ("it's a human rights violation!") and look at it dispassionately, it's easy to see the strings being pulled. The next question to ask is who's pulling the strings and why. Honing your own discernment is key. Questioning everything you're reading in MSM outlets is paramount. This is a (dis)information war and we're all combatants whether we recognize it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
