Zuck Facebook- We’ve Got a War to Fight...
against and we need Twitter!
No more crying in our beer, in our soup, the swamp. We need to get out there on our keyboards and do something!
We need to deal with the cards we’ve been dealt and to play the game of Drumpf.
So what do we know about him and how can we play that to our advantage?
Well just a week ago he did want to pull out of Syria before the FBI raid of his attorney rattled him and he did want to build a better relationship with Russia before the phony collusion investigation. So check, check mark those as possibly being in our column.
That he has a massive ego?
Well yeah. And the only way he’s going to walk away from starting a war in Syria after the convoluted things and stupid threats he has tweeted, is if we help him save face to not look like such a maniac, an idiot, or a back pedaling coward, chickenshit if he does but instead a HERO.
Yes that’s right, a Hero!
So as disgusting as this may sound to some, remember the reason why we would do such a thing, is that we are trying to stop a potentially worldwide war from happening by giving him an easy way out.
I wrote earlier in some comments on a couple of sites, including here, that if we are attending anti-war rallies we could consider carrying signs declaring that Only Trump Can Advert Nuclear WWIII as JFK did and can go down in history as a hero. Some people seemed to think the idea actually might have some merit so it began to grow on me.
So allow me to expand with a few further points.
1. We may not have a lot of time to get the word out via protests as this has come about so quickly.
2. Some people may not want to attend protests, get kettled, arrested or their heads bashed in.
3. At one time he was a Democrat so the comparison might have some appeal to him.
4. And what does Trump also really love? Himself, attention, adoring crowds and Twitter.
So we tweet him and make him look really good, heroic by getting out.
Twitter can reach many more people faster than protests and tweets can be shared, multiplied and might be able reach him if they gain enough momentum and numbers.
I composed a sample tweet that can be shared if you have a twitter account and want to give this a shot, or write your own. Ms North suggested telling him there might not be any real estate left or a country for him to preside over if he goes ahead with this. That that might help to persuade him too.
Sample tweet.
‘Trump only you and you alone can save us from a nuclear WWIII and go down in the history books as a hero just as JFK did. Bring home our troops. Let’s rebuild our country. MAGA’
So what do you all think?
Is it worth a shot?
Any suggestions?

So,
we're reduced to having to flatter and placate a quasi Lucius Aurelius Commodus, in order to prevent chaos?
I'd say that's testament to a completely dysfunctional system of 'modern-day' government.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Live to fight another day.
Got a better plan of action, cus I don’t.
You know what they say about desperate times, right?
Commodus
Yeppers!
And now that it's been brought up, the parallels between Trump and Commodus are flat fucking scary!!

How about we rally around putting Trump in prison for
the rest of his miserable, demented life for being a war criminal murdering bastard. Maybe alongside Obama, Bush, Clinton, and whoever else we can run down, tar and feather and string up like the chickenshits they are.
Regardless of how one might feel about Trump
he’s an unguided missile right now whose taking us all along for the ride, and it’s not to Nirvana.
Clearly he’s demonstrating almost hourly classic signs of schizophrenia. He doesn’t know which way he’s pointing and is surrounded by psychopaths.
If we can change which way he points, his trajectory through a little psyc-ops of our own, I’m all for it.
Gawd only knows how long they’ve been using it on us.
We’ve got to start thinking smarter. Fight fire with fire and avail ourselves to what tools we still have at our disposal.
We can act high and mighty later, if we can survive their follies and greed.
While I can appreciate the outside the box thinking,
my approach certainly isn't "high and mighty" to me. The man is a war criminal, you do understand that correct? If not, I could explain why further. I don't do war criminals, murderers, genocidists, imperialists, or any other chickenshit psychopaths who use people as fucking pawns. They are criminals just like the child rapist down the street or the gang leader in Chicago.
Like I said, whatever time I spend to try to stop war will go to trying to stop the bastards who are waging them by exposing their lies and crimes and putting them away. I think that is the only way we're going to be able to stop any wars.
I do but
how has that worked for us so far?
And while it’s a noble and worthwhile pursuit, some are more concerned about whether or not we will be here next week to pursue it.
Think of it as a form of triage.
I do.
I didn't vote for Jill Stein in Michigan just to chicken out
and fall back in line with the two-party system that calls itself a democracy. I'm ready to blow it up or burn it down. You don't beat crazy with anything but crazy.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
He really should listen to himself
Trump is so stupid that your plan just might work, Sirena. He's losing his base because of the things he has already done after he said he wouldn't and if he gets us more involved in Syria that might be a bridge too far for them.
Big Al's idea works for me. I'm hoping to see a day when some country brings war crime charges against this country's government and defense companies.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
I not sure whether it will or won’t
but I see the same cracks, openings as you do and think what at this point do we have to lose by trying to direct him back to his original positions and try to dig him out of the hole he’s dug and is taking us all down with him?
We know what works with him, so if it’s massive amounts of flattery, so be it.
There are worse ways to go.
PS- I was reading the comments at Zerohedge yesterday
which depending on which side of the coin you are on are usually pretty horrible, but I was amazed how many of his supporters, his base were saying this is not what you ran on, what you promised us, and were fairly pissed off across the board as well, so you do have a very good point Snoopydawg.
We should try to appeal them to also appeal to him.
Looks like we may be forming some sort of strategy.
I like that.
Sure beats doing nothing!
Trump is not our problem.
I don't even pay attention to him, and don't really give a flying fuck what he does, short of pushing the red button.
And, I really don't give a flying fuck what the Repubs do or what the Oligarchy do.
I'm already woke to their intent - scorched earth - but I can't do a fucking thing about it.
What I CAN do, and attempt to do, is make more and more unwoke woke. Or at least make them aware that they're not. woke.
All I can do is go on the offensive in this War on the Poor. We have no defense. None. Zero. The 2017 NY Giants is our "defense." Quite possibly the Worst defense I've ever seen in the NFL going back to the Y.A. Tittle days.
So....
"We need to deal with the cards we’ve been dealt and to play the game of Drumpf.
So what do we know about him and how can we play that to our advantage?"
There's not a damn thing we can do to stop Trump.
Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to continue the offensive.
Woke your neighbors. And your neighborhood.

Yeah he is, and how do you know that?
He may not have started the problem but who exactly do you think is on the phone coordinating with Bibi, May, Macron and doing the sword dance with?
Even if the ABC agencies have his nuts in a vise, he still has the power of the pulpit, which via Tweeter he does not seem too afraid to use during his daily constitutional.
So how do you know there’s ‘not a damn thing we can do to stop him’?
That sounds pretty defeatist to me. As in just roll over and accept it rather than at least try to do something to turn, effect the likely outcome of events.
Failure is not an option.
I feel some of us at least would like to try to make our voices heard.
If we compliment Trump into doing the right thing and he does, then maybe he does deserve it.
So, what's your plan
of attack? How exactly do "we"
stop him? Here's mine...
The less time we spend on Trump, and the Repubs, and the Oligarchy - which are all the same to me - the more time we have to create the alternative.
If I worry every minute about what Trump's gonna do next (which I don't spend a second), then that's one less minute I can put toward creating the alternative.
And the Only way we can stop the Oligarchy's scorched earth nonsense is to show your neighbors - and neighborhood - an alternative to the horse$h!t before their very eyes.
"Trying to stop it" (whatever that means) is a waste of time. We don't (yet) have the army of woke to stop anything. "Trying" is a waste of time we don't have. We first need to build an army of woke.

I beg to differ, wink
""And, I really don't give a flying fuck what the Repubs do or what the Oligarchy do."
Trump is definitely our problem for numerous reasons. As Sirena stated, he's the one who is on the phone calls with foreign leaders and he changes his mind at the blink of a hat. This is very worrisome for not only our country, but the world. Especially when he's willing to do whatever the Hell Bibi wants him to regarding the Middle East. Bibi is so insane he almost makes Trump seem sane. Almost. We were able to stop Obama from hitting Syria during his red line shtick and there's a chance we can stop the Donald. He has heard from his base on Twitter when he said he was going to bomb Syria. He hasn't done it yet. And if he keeps alienating his base and they get pissed off enough they may finally pull their heads out of their butts and join us to protest. Against war and maybe economic things too.
His regulatory agencies are rolling back so many that people will eventually understand why they were put in place in the first place. This is another reason people could eventually wake the f*ck up and do something. When rivers start catching fire again and his peeps can't fish because they're dead, that could start something.
One thing that is very worrisome his racism and hatred for minorities is making people more willing to say what they think and then act on it. People don't feel like they have to hide their thoughts anymore and the belligerency and discourse are rapidly deteriorating which could cause even more violence. His white supremacist attitude is dangerous especially with all the discord in this country right now and with it moving towards fascism, if we aren't there already. Look at how disrespectful the media treats Trump. From the media to the intelligence agencies, no one has ever disrespected the office of the presidency like they are doing now.
With Trump as president the power structures behind the scenes know that he will do whatever they want him to. This is why the republicans were so intent on passing their tax bill and now they are coming for our social programs. Again I hear you saying that we can't stop them, but again I disagree. There is always a chance we can do something. Not trying would be just giving up.
"There's not a damn thing we can do to stop Trump."
This is a defeatism attitude that we can't afford. You may feel like giving up, but I can't afford to. Literally, I can not afford to. With the republicans thinking of passing a balanced budget amendment, the wheels on our bus will come off and it's going to crash in ways that would make the Great Depression look like a picnic. Trump told the republicans he wants the food stamps to be totally eliminated. This too will affect many of his base because it's not just blacks and minorities on them, but many seniors like their grandparents who are on them.
Instead of being so defeatist, try thinking of what we can do if the poop does hit the fan. I appreciate you saying that you will be sticking up for the poor. We'll need everyone in this fight.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
Nobody said anything about
giving up. Least of all yours
truly. But this whole "Resistance" thing from day one was and is bull$h!t.
There's been no sign of any such thing since it became a meme.
The closest sign this country has Ever seen to any kind of resistance since I've been alive was the '60s protests against the Vietnam war. "Trump Resistance" is not even in the same neighborhood as that, not even close to what most would consider resistance.
So, nope. Count me out of that nonsense. Trump must be laffing, "that all they got?" And he would be right. The so-called "Resistance" is pretty pathetic. Nothing I'd claim to be a part of.
Instead I'd rather play Offense. It's been said in football, "the best defense is a damn good offense." There's some truth to that. When you have the ball for a majority of the time that gives the other team less time to score. "We" have no Defense. None. What Defense "we" would have had - the M$M - has chosen to side with the Oligarchy. (not that they had a choice). So, our only option is Offense. Paying attention to what Trump is gonna do next does nothing to help our offense. It doesn't matter what Trump is gonna do next becuz who is going to stop him? Us? "the Resistance?" Repubs? Certainly not Democrats. Tucker? Well, actually, Tucker and media types that think like he does have a slight chance. At least one of them "gets it." Not in a million years would I think Tucker would be one of the first to say, "does this make sense," but hey... even a blind squirrel...
So, no. Not paying any attention to Trump - and haven't been since his election, really. Couldn't care less what he does. It's all about offense, baby. Instead of push 'em back, push 'em back, harder, harder, it's, let's ram this football down their throats!

I’m amazed by how resistant some people are to even trying
something different from what in the past has never worked.
It almost seems like they feel threatened by it.
I like your ideas.
Fight subversion with subversion. Propaganda with propaganda. Play into his weaknesses. Seduce him. Those are proven methods. American society and American politics are the products of such strategies.
We don't have the kind of leaders who understand Sun Tzu or the strategies that lead to victory in battles like these. And we don't have enough money to buy our government back from the entities who currently own it.
But everybody doesn't need to get on board. A few good people making a dedicated effort could gain the influence to bring about reform. In the case of Trump, he does not have the power or the vision to stop the insane Neocon quest for supreme control over the entire planet, which is only possible with the destruction of China and Russia. But Trump can slow it down and trip them up. He does that mostly unintentionally, I believe. However, he truly is in bed with Israel, so the murder and mayhem will continue until all the Shiites are exterminated throughout the Middle East. (They control him in just the way you suggest. By humoring and flattering him.)
It will take the momentum of the rest of the world to end this horror and save the planet. The world acting together and rejecting the USDollar in international trade, would cripple the Deep State. The military would be forced home, the foreign bases would be closed, and the global tyranny will end. The People can then take back their government and make it work to benefit everyone equally. We should at least prepare for that moment, because it is coming.
So do I
Just giving up and not trying to do anything isn't smart. Keep thinking of what we can do. You're not alone. The poor people campaign is also getting started with fighting back against our keepers.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
I'm guessing you're 19,
20. It's not that anyone
is resistant to something new.
It's that there is no something new.

Nonsense. While not "politically
correct," maybe, there was no
"attack" intended.
Nobody loves the enthusiasm that the yutes bring to this fight more than yours truly, becuz I believe if it wasn't for the recent March for gun control this whole "movement" was about to peter out.

Hell yes, try anything that helps
I personally don't flitter, but you go! and give it hell.
Nothing says public protest like a private corporation
That's what I think. Defeating anything via LLC is not so smart, but go on. Twitter can be fun.
I loved them the other day for revealing Zuck's psychological four inch seat cushion, on the same day Snowden dropped the nugget that Facebook, a public stock traded on NASDAQ, is indeed just another project of the fucking CIA called LifeLog, gone global. LOL good luck with your social media protest crawlers riding those corporate airwaves.
People died in the fires here because all we have are stupid outsourced corporations and LLCs running the emergency alert system. The whole stinking pie is corrupt, but more people woke up. Mostly it is the ones who don't facebook or twitter anymore, because real life interfered with their daily pocket dramas. Ya gotta love the Bay Area, Nancy Pelosi or bust!
good times
sorry for that, I couldn't ...withstand my inner beast /nt

https://www.euronews.com/live
Not to worry, while my first essay, I asked for opinions.
So I got what I got and sometimes my inner beast gets loose too.
Actually while shocking, it was pretty well dead on the money.
So well done!
Trump is out of his league and does not comport himself like any president I’ve ever known.
Was just really trying to think out of the box as to ways we might be able to get a handle on him or weakness we might use to our advantage, exploit.
thx. for being generous in your response /nt

Looking forward to the day when the Trump people and the Hillary
people call bullshit on each other and then agree that it's all bullshit and then the oligarchy crumbles. Or maybe the sea of bullshit, everywhere, will kill us all before nukes or climate change get a chance.
Edit: This idea may help expose the bullshit.
Beware the bullshit factories.
