Stopped Clock. . . ?
I've been pondering a strange and persistent neuron sparking in this vast darkness I wander through-namely, could this guy Actually BE Crazy Like a Fox? Could this Lord of Chaos schitck be The distraction to accomplish a Potentally(?) Greater Good?? We'll come back to this.
My Real Life; I have a family of foxes living next door under the neighbors small deck. The neighbors Cat, a rescue and intrepid ratter, Sleeps with this family of foxes by day, and Rats' by night. The neighbor also has a 10 yr old German Shepherd that doesn't mess with the foxes Or the cat, he knows they got work to do.
See, before the cat and foxes showed up, we had a rat problem: always getting into the chicken food(digression-NYC building repair folk mix Broken Glass with Concrete to slow the rats down in their chewing through walls), and just being rats in general. Not wanting to spread poisons through the Eco-system, and finding traps of Very limited use, i also, if not welcome,at least don't Object to these predators inhabiting the neighborhood. I should add, Too Much.
The foxes have taken up the habit of Sharing their fecal deposits with us in some really strange places; on Top of the picnic table, Inside an empty cooler that had been cleaned and was air drying overnight(okay, the Kidlet didn't put it away when asked to, but hey, not trying to bust any balls here), the tailgate of my truck left down, on the RIM of the outside water bowl for My three dogs. That's a five gallon bucket and some Impressive contortions to get That done!
Somehow I get the feeling These Ain't Random acts. What to do?
Obviously I removed the offending material and cleaned those items on which it had been left, but when I walk out the front door and there is a Turd centered and deposited on Each and Every Step to the drive, Six in all, I'm thinkining somethings up(did I mention I can be slow?) with this behavior. That doesn't mean I KNOW what's up with that, just that something is and I like no rats.
Now back to the opening:
Pretty much all the posts, comments and rebuttals on this site make mention of the Chaos of information, events and Disteactions there are to Respond to and what our own(individual) and Our Own(Community?) responses Should Be? Leave This for later
Consider this chain of events; when the orange clown(henceforth oc) took office, in Venezuela the cia backed opposition was Growing and riots Against the govt of Maduro were Increasing. About the only thing that looked like it could save Maduro and unite his country was an outside threat from Yankees-and right on time oc threatens military action and BOOM! Maduro wins reelection. Not That simple I know, but look at Korea; big bluster and bluff(?) and could peace be breaking out with the withdrawal of troops from the DMZ and Apparent dismantling of buildings used by the NK to assemble rocket engines? There are Other examples of him Breaking things and Something unexpected happens that sets the establishment back a bit.
WE are Not Immune from TDS!
I know, i KNOW what you're gonna say- what about domestic agenda, what about tax policy, what about military spending, what about imperialism-you did get the reference in the title, no?
Aspie is gonna cut my ass for this next one-to save His ass, oc Has to throw bones to the dogs in order to fight the wolves of globalists. I THINK oc is a Nationalist Bussinessman. I THINK he wants an America that Not subject to the forces of globalists, Is he a ruthless, greedy, insert adjective here sociopath? More Than Likely(not being qualified to check boxes on someone else, I'll leave that there).
I'm Not defending, excusing, promoting, or otherwise endorsing this assWhole at all! It's just that, unlike Bush the Lesser, or Obomber the Smoooth, this guy could actually Break a few Chains of the Fools.
And that could mean Opportunity. Will we see it? Will we have the Balls to grab it?
Go read this before you bust My balls.

What if, considering the motion towards peoples’ new self-determination, Trump’s amok run, his jumping from chaos to more chaos, to the sanction game no end – punishing, or threatening friends and foes alike, will lead to a genuine de-globalization of the world? – If this were to happen then, we the 90% of the globe’s population, should be very grateful to Mr. Trump who has shown and created the path to enlightening – the enlightening of de-globalization.

Trump just dropped his cards on the table...
and shouted "FULL HOUSE BITCHES!" when All he had were a bunch of random cards From Magic the Gathering.
Now everybody at the table is arguing about who gave him the cards, and why he was allowed to talk about Hillary sticking aces up her sleeve. Nobody's playing the game we paid for, and instead they're just screaming at each other about cheating, while simultaneously beating up anybody who refuses to keep paying for the game.
It's no surprise that the rest of the world would get a hint. It's not Just Trump who's doing this. It's the posturing Congress, the Obsequious House, and the Moldering Supreme Court. Trump is just the one whose bullshit is obvious.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Fantastic, poetic post. Thank you!
So maybe while
they're all screaming and bitchin' and moanin' at each other, we should keep an open mind for possibilities we can use.
To use your situation as a newbie in Judo, you'll never know your opponent's strengths and weaknesses until you rumble, then you have to sense Minor shifts in weight and balance and adjust to counter-you look, not with your eyes, but your Mind, to find an opening You can exploit.
That's the point I'm trying(poorly, as usual) to make, we get so caught up in Right Now we're unable to process Anything in a rational manner. That seems to be the 'Establishments' game, keep 'em reeling from one shock to the next-which, to me, means there is a serious weakness we Ain't Seeing. Or, if we Are seeing it, we ain't Using it.

When he declares war on Iran
all this will change.
My bold prediction for the year.
"You can't just leave those who created the problem in charge of the solution."---Tyree Scott
We thought
back in April he would start wwIII with roosya-didn't happen. We thought he was ready to bomb NK-didn't happen. EVERYbody thinks he'll bomb Iran-won't happen UNless Iran closes the straight, and I don't see Roosya endorsing Irans bid to do so.
I'm trying to fight off TDS and find something Positive We could Use. Am I grasping at straws, most likely.
Am I full of shit-see previous question.

Something that may make a diff, though...
Israel wasn't for bombing either Russia or NK. They are 10,000% behind us bombing Iran, so of all the threats, that's the one most likely to happen. After all, we don't want to leave Netanyahu unhappy or see him actually have to commit Israel to a potentially dangerous enterprise against a country that unlike Syria and Palestine, can actually fight back.
Good point,
does bibi want to bring on End Times, as well?
I got nothing.

The End
I don't think the Jewish version of End Times has them all being forcibly converted to Christianity at penalty of eternal death.
Anything good accomplished by Trump
is a mistake. Despite being so greedy and conniving, I really think the man is too stupid to plan anything beyond today or tomorrow.

I am kind of in the same camp
Sometimes bad people can do things that have a good outcome. Since I (we) have no say so in what Trump does, I am willing to take a wait and see attitude about some of these things.
The latest thing out there is Trump's proposal to reorganize the Federal Reserve which is essentially a private organization.

I think he's pretty
smart to have
survived this deep into his presidency.
Not many had him surviving this deep.
And other than totally fucking the 99% domestically, his "becuz we're America, bitch!" policy is not vague, not wishy washy - both friends and foes get it. He knows exactly what he wants to do, whether or not the Repubs are on board; the sense nobody ever got with O'bummer. There's a Lot to hate about the dRumpster, but he gets better at the job every single day.

I really appreciate
what you're saying, especially this:
I struggle with what the heck he is like and what the heck he is doing also. And I'm desperately trying to like the fact that he brings in the most horrific gangsters and psychopaths, like Bolton and Pompeo, and lets them say the worst possible things, and then leaves them limply stunned as he ignores what they said. Kind of.
And like you, I don't know whether to think this is a plan or a consequence of the fact that he's strange. Probably it's that he's strange. But he does seem to be throwing bones and kibble at the millionaire grifters, selling our future environmental health to the killers of the planet, and lowering the taxes of tax-free fraudsters as fast as possible. As blatantly as possible. So in a way, his behavior has brought the fraudsters, killers, and psychopaths out into the open where we can see them, where we can see the gift that is federal corruption clearly and unambiguously.
Take Bolton, for example. Now he has to take responsibility for his words and recommendations. He can't hide in some suavely named think tank or bloviate on some stupid talk show. He has to actually spell out what he wants as if it could actually happen. And in that case people will actually hear what he is saying and become actually alarmed. I know I'm being hopeful, but I am hoping this madness is waking people up.
He is
ripping the mask off And pulling back the curtains And turning the House lights on, even if unintentional.
Can we use that? We seem to be trying in some ways.

Trump is creating a lot of dust as he throws his power around
when dust lands it shows where fractures exist, fractures become cracks, cracks become openings and unprotected openings are where opportunity exists for a short period of time.
When dusty it is hard to hide tracks. All current nefarious activity is moving on dusty paths for others to see, learn movements and ponder past activities. The world is seeing the paths and alliances of USA military, nongovernmental agencies (NGO) and intelligence communities regularly in the information flow.
Penicillin was an accident discovered by a knowledgeable observer who took action. The hard part is knowing when and what actions to take not to miss an opportunity. Maybe we need to to be comfortable with the idea of change by a thousand cuts and not focus on one perfect action.
Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.
--When the opening appears release yourself.
He doesn't know wtf he's doing
There is no end-game. There's been no thought of long term consequences. No addressing of the real crisis problems we face, just making them worse by negligence and ignorance. It's all about instant gratification, damn the consequences.
Beware the bullshit factories.
I'm not saying
he Does know what he's doing-even in that case, there Could be Opportunity-if we can See it.
And seize it.

The mask has come off
For a generation american fascism has pretended to be sane, and it has fooled enough people to achieve some of its goals, but only those goals that could be made to seem sane. W started changing that, and he slowed down the movement by accelerating it. It was premature, or so the fascists believe. Obama went back to the stealth tactic, and was quickly achieving goal after goal - by putting a smily face on fascism (cops shooting people for being black - but Lilly Ledbetter! drone strikes making a million jihadists a month - but gay marriage! working americans losing their homes to criminal banksters and no prosecutions - but DACA!) Someone had to come along and take the mask off, and it was Trump. Fascism planned for eight years of Hillary (don't like fascism? you're a misogynist!) to be the last step, but Trump jumped the gun.
On to Biden since 1973
Ayup. I agree with you about the mask
I saw it starting to come off during the last part of Obama's tenure and then Bernie exposed more of the people behind it and now Trump has taken it fully off for those who have quit believing that our government cares whether we live or not. Or that we have any say in what it does. I just don't understand why I didn't see this earlier or why so many others have not.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
I'm open to watching what happens
It doesn't cost me anything to keep an open mind. Both gulfgal and Linda had some great points in their comments. It doesn't cost me anything to keep an open mind.
I love the story of the foxes, the cat and dawg that are living in harmony with each other. Brilliantly written. I felt like I was at the scene and seeing those things myself.
However I want to know why the foxes are leaving their presents in those places? Especially on top of the water bowl.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
For me,
the fox poop positioning is like whistleblower releases of documents, emails, Vault 7, and text messages letting us know there are people inside the Deep State who want to destroy it.
I don't know what that has to do with the foxes, but it may be that they want to reassure the neighbors that they're there, working against the rats.
As far as I
can tell, the fox has always been associated with mischief, mayhem, and trickery-just for the fun of it. It amuses him to see chaos reigning, and while it does,me can get away with All Kinds of Trouble.
Sometimes, not often, and you have to be looking for it, he can be tricked as well.
As for my real life neighbors, who knows? I wanted to get pissed off at 'em and started laughing instead, it's a game for them to keep them amused for all I know. I just collect their offerings and deposit them with the dogs contributions and chuckle over the absurdity of it all-I'm picking up dog(and fox) poop. I'm trying to do the same at the macro level-look at the night sky(if you're able) and tell me if Any of this means Anything.
That, and a burner, get me by. Sometimes.
