... now, now, Trumpelthinskin saw the sales figures and decided that it must be A GREAT BOOK, second only to the Buybull. Read it? He put his name on it, just like those gauche skyscrapers he's branded... (yet he calls himself a builder). Much like he cites the polls as the benchmark of his popularity when he's on top, but when he starts to slip - meh, "it's just a poll'. Whatever strokes his ego into a yoooge braingasm.

... no, no, not him... you know, the guy who seized power through subversive means, and made a solemn promise that once "the others" were gone, "the superior race" would be triumphant for a thousand years... one sec, it will come to me...

I consider this piece to be depressingly accurate. I cannot help but think much of this is a direct result of the technology we have become slaves too. People are so consumed by their handheld computers that they appear unaware of the natural world in which they exist. It will be most interesting to see how this all plays out.

... when I was young and decided I was Born To Be Wild, I met The Pusher and said Don't Step On The Grass, Sam - just Rock Me, I'm Jupiter's Child... and after taking a Magic Carpet Ride, I was confronted by the Monster. https://www.youtube.com/wat... ... I am older now and this song still brings back all the disillusionment of some 45 years ago. Fortunately cannabis has become more potent in the intervening years, and the manner of ingestion much improved.

... "now that the internet seems to be helping spread the stupid like a virus" - personally, I hold Fecebook culpable in amplifying and proliferating the virus of stupidity. FB is quite simply the largest internet platform that aggregates and disseminates all the stupid in our computer world. There is no vaccine.

Democratic Underground: "Don't link to COUNTERPUNCH. It's a far-RW racist trojan horse"

"In addition to the authors relied on by CP for its left cred, ‘America’s best political newsletter’ also regularly publishes ‘independent investigative journalism’ by a wide variety of white supremacists, including Paul Craig Roberts, editor of the white nationalist website VDare, Ron Paul (who poses for photo ops with neo-Nazis and warns of ‘race war’), and Alison Weir, holocaust denier Israel Shamir, and that perennial saboteur of the Palestinian solidarity movement, Gilad Atzmon, author of the racist The Wandering Who."http://www.democraticunderg...

... yup, and I'm still pissed off that he destroyed the art deco limestone reliefs that adorned the building, despite the fact they were slated for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. http://www.nytimes.com/2014... - I've visited Trump Tower and it's a fucking architectural abomination, also too.
