The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
Oprah … why aren’t you filthy rich like me? It is your fault for being poor! Clueless.
Oprah bashing: A new way to get your jollies off. “Oprah Winfrey is and has been since her entrance into the US mass media hologram one of the capitalist elite’s most effective propagandists.” Oprah is a person, with strength of character that drives grown men to despair. Fear of strong women is a very real aspect of misogyny. Oprah is a real person whose early childhood experience would have felled most….

Leary had it right, the US continent is like an UFO floating above the earth and not of the earth. Its citizens look down upon us mortals like natives of the floating island of Laputa in Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. And so now and then they drop a shit bomb on us. And he visits Balnibarbi the land ruled by Laputa where science has become a religion without much advance in humanitarianism and where they discover political conspiracies by examining the rulers’ shit. All amusing and worth reading and directly applicable to the societies we now live in.
It is quite telling the extreme right is labeling OPRAH a communist & the extreme left a puppet of capitalist interests…. In other words when viewed through a political lens Oprah becomes a target for those with pollitical agendas.
Neither the right or the left are willing to concede that Oprah is a strong black woman… as such a threat to misogynist and racist interests.
Ok, whatever you say now, we’ll leave it at that, shall we not?
Oprah Winfrey is an American success story.
