Trump: The Cognitive Slip Continues...

Well, if they are experts on anything, it's dumbness....

 

My point in answer to the post below gets at this idea too - framing things stupidly and falsely is a big problem. Particularly when people aren't outfitted to analyze stuff properly.
Any competent economist in 2023-24 would tell you that the US economy had (through steady management) emerged strongest out of the developed economies after Covid.
That all people were going to be worse off in terms of the relative curve due to a couple of years of non-growth and stagnation should have been differentiated AND SHARPLY by the media and the democratic strategists. However, they were all content to think that a patented slimeball and wannabe insurrrectionist couldn't be elected.

The problem for me is in definition. (post-modernism didn't make the truth not the truth. It just created a lot of ways of entering into a self delusion about truths when it suits. But as always "self-deception" is not "others' deception" - that too has to be done to those selves by themselves). Creating what you refer to as a truth here is not, in fact, creating that. It's creating, if false and stated as truth, a lie.
Therefore, the problem largely is a function of education. In how to spot nonsense and open mendacity. And how to not be affected by complete nonsense. We need more of those who can manage these things than those who primarily often can't for a working society.

The real problem isn't any fangling(or blaming) of philosophy theory - it is a thing external to all competing theories and ways of living - it is the deluge of bad information that the human brain is not coping well with - and the possibilities of being insulated within that deluge that exists within social media and the constant interconnectivity, and the weaponization of this by various bad actors

Some polling by Focaldata showing Trump at 34 percent approval. The story in the bluesky posts is how his low propensity voters have abandoned him. The story that matters to me is once several polls have him near 32 percent, the stats tell us the Republicans will abandon him.

 

So what you're saying is that December is going to be full of non-stop penchant whining about rigged and stolen elections.

Despite the fact that the Dems were obviously too stupid to NOT rig anything between 2021-2025.

 

Firearm owner and agree 100%. And licensed for intended use. Want to keep a loaded weapon in your house to satisfy your fantasy about outdrawing a home invader? Your insurance should be 1000x what I pay when I’ve never so much as had a loaded firearm in my truck…keep them all unloaded and locked in a gun safe (with trigger locks) and keep my ammo locked and stored separately (you know…how the NRA used to teach you to do it).

and you want to carry for self defense outside the house? A million times more than my premium

 

You had one job, mf'er. ONE!

 

Trump is the ultimate starf*cker.

So Trump says he’s found something “irrefutable” that will allow him to nationalize elections. Here’s one blogger’s guess. It involves hidden text in the Constitution, like something out of that Nicolas Cage trilogy.

if this is really what Trump is basing it on, it’ll be funny seeing all the Republicans go yep, that sounds legit.

Man, I can’t get away from this ************************.

Im watching the 25th Hour, my 2nd favorite Spike Lee movie. It’s on Amazon Prime Video. Anyway, Ed Norton is eating dinner with his dad Brian Cox, and Trump’s name came up!

Goddamn it.

 

He didn't write that post. It's way, way too calm.

 

Liddle Marquitos de Miami de Cuba gave a speech to European leaders in Munich which was more "reassuring" then the one Vance gave a year ago. Still had weird Trumpy shit in it, of course. The Stones were a total ripoff of the American blues.

Especially the Stones. “Tell me you’ve never listened to the Rolling Stones without….”

 

Such a great movie…if you haven’t watched it you should. But go into it knowing that between the planning of this movie and the filming of it, 9/11 happened.

I’m not sure what to make of the Anna Paquin-Philip Seymour Hoffman B plot, but the A story featuring Ed Norton…there is absolutely no wasted motion in that story. I often fast forward :10 at a time watching movies when they get predictable. None of that, even though I’d seen the movie before.

 

It's been forever since I've seen prime minister questions on C-SPAN. Could you imagine Donnie doing that in the House?

 

Methinks it would look like this:

 

All horseshit, of course. And most of the recent multiple voting folks have been Trumpers in places like The Villages.
