I refuse to acknowledge it. I refuse so much that I will jump up and down and shout it’s all just a ploy to further the authors career with Trump. 

I have acknowledged it, it’s an opinion piece written by a self styled ‘arch right winger’ and failed GOP candidate for office.

You forgot the bit you also insinuated and made up, you know, your speculative claim…..

 

"I think it’s more likely the type of puff piece that says ‘I hope to get another chance to run for office’."

 

keep jumping

That’s the thing about opinions, they are often speculative which is not quite the same thing as contradictory to observable reality.

 

By example Wasinger offers up this:

“For years, their [the alleged elites] authority went unchallenged. Now, Trump’s refusal to play by their rules has prompted a furious reaction. Rather than face the real issue—the exposure of their own overreach—they accuse him of authoritarianism and claim he poses a threat to democratic norms. The irony, as many have noted, is almost too much to bear.”

 

I’m almost certain Wasinger has read the Constitution and therefore don’t accept his feigned ignorance of the duty of the Legislative and Judicial branches of Government to hold the Executive in check, let alone the Constitutionally protected rights of citizens and the media protest the actions of a President who, by rulings of the SCOTUS is overreaching his authority under the Constitution.

 

This from a right biased SCOTUS in which three justices are Trump’s own appointees.

 

I do agree with Wasinger on one point, ‘The irony is almost to much to bear’.

The thing about opinions is that nearly all media articles carry them from the journalist. The irony is you making things up about this author and his ambitions.

 

you’ve not stopped jumping up and down yet.

I already did, you making things up then deflecting as in your response above. It’s not going away.

Once again here is my criticism of Wasinger’s departure from reality, let’s see if you have a counter argument that goes beyond you objecting to me expressing my opinions about Wasinger’s opinions:

 

Give it a go:

What is the propaganda?  Every despot leader, every Communist leader, every Marxist leader, and the Marxist Democrat Party of the USA uses the word Democracy to hid who they are and what they stand for.  Trump is the only one that uses the word Democracy as intended.

They/ them Dems took the party of JFK and reformed it to fit their Marxist agenda!

 

We see what they’re willing to do everyday in the news to keep power!

Hillary Clintons Russia Russia .

Impeachments .

4 dem prosecutors using Stalinist lawfare.

3 states trying to deny him ballot entry.

Assassination attempts by Dems(Routh).

Voting irregularities!

Doge findings.

Illegal Migrant in /out chaos.

 
Little by little the onion gets peeled back exposing the corruption in the Washington establishment.

 

A quote from the 2016 BBC :

“Mr Trump plans to upend Washington. He ran against the establishment, a group of insiders who work for the White House and on Capitol Hill, as well as in the media and for lobbying groups and think-tanks”.

If you want some big-timers you scarcely need to look.  Because they stand out like a sore thumb.

 

They are people with huge fortunes, supported by huge investments in critical sectors of the economy, and who often have managed, through a well-endowed foundation, to spread largesse where it matters to them (notably throughout the mass-media, and/or ownership of a part thereof; but also by making other "non-profits" financially dependent upon them).

 

They stifle well-aimed criticism, and may even successfully project themselves as experts and advisers to governments on subjects where they have no real expertise, but where they have financial interests.  This type of deep-state operator is not interested in amassing further wealth for the comfort and security it can provide.  Theirs is a power game.

 

No need to name them, as most people have sufficient acumen to see for themselves.

 

However, these prominent characters are only the tip of the iceberg.  Their propaganda is spread insidiously at all levels of society by self-interested individuals and those who have not "woken up" to the game being played upon humanity.

 

Well said, 
 

After the Biden/ Trump debate 

 

They / them oligarchs tried to install 

they’re choice to lead Washington!

It failed miserably!

EC are the only votes that count, and a landslide by 27.5% 

Growing up I oftentimes wondered the significance of the Electoral College .

Pure Genius when it comes to  voting for POTUS.
