Why was Trump such a disgrace to the White House? I look at what Biden has done, with the help of Obama, and I see (1) the total disrespect for America, its institutions, The White House, the rule of law, and the citizens of this country, (2) the weaponization of all federal agencies, and (3) the complete disrespect for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
I agreed with most of the article until Trump was a disgrace to the white house." I was a cruise person prior. I think trump was outstanding in the white house. Few if anyone could have done as well as he did in the white house with such negative undertow.
Trump was a direct threat to the globalist agenda until they realized he could be played. His narcissism meant it was always about him. That and his political naïveté was used to their advantage, especially during Covid. After that it was never about him but about what he stood for when he won the 2016 election, namely Populism. The 3 most loathsome words to the Globalists are “We the people”. His personality and his habit of giving them so much daily ammunition made him a great foil for their base. They are comfortable that they know him thoroughly and can manipulate him. In my opinion these indictments are about putting down his base and sending a message about what will happen to anyone involved in a real insurrection, much less a fake one. It’s about November 2024 and 2025. That said, I continue to believe they would much rather see Trump on the ticket than Ron DeSantis. They know Trump can be played, and they know DeSantis cannot be. That makes DeSantis much more dangerous to them than Donald Trump ever was, and they very well know it.
Bill finds it difficult to give Trump credit for any of the good he did, while I see it as more of a mixed bag. I give Trump credit for deregulating parts of the economy, instituting fair trade deals, and allowing the US to produce fossil fuels so we can be energy independent, among some other policies. Bill will not mention any of these because he only focuses on the things he doesn't like about Trump. And there is a lot not to like. For example, Trump never talked about or did anything about balancing the budget; his stimulus payments during COVID were totally unwarranted and put us in a bigger debt hole; he mismanaged the COVID crisis by not obtaining other opinions besides Fauci, who he should have fired, etc.; and he made buffoonish statements on many occasions which just gave fodder to the Democrats to criticize him. The stimulus payments gave the Democrats the green light for more stimulus payments when they took over. I was telling my buddies before the 2020 election that it might be a good thing if Trump lost because of these policies. If we were going to get inflation, it might as well be under the Democrats, so the free-market system would not be blamed. I also thought that if the Democrats won, they would be exposed for the fascists that they are. Well, they have been exposed, but I'm not sure the American people get it because our media is so corrupt.
Sheesh, for the 3rd time, Fraudci could not be fired, only CONgress could do that,. The best Trump could do was ignore him, which he finally did, but it was too late by then, he had already lost the election.
Me Star. I do give you credit for perseverance, she cannot be reasoned with. When the real crash occurs people like her will be washed away like the tide. People who believe this economy is strong or in denial. How she could defend this administration is simply beyond belief. But as we both know, TDS is real.
SE: You're hopeless. Treason, ignorance and/or Stupidity sounds a lot like you. I think you would vote for anyone running for President if that person was a Republican. You get over it...honey.
Please sweet Dorothy, as with most insane liberals, you seem much more intelligent when you don't speak, as it's better to be thought the fool, then to speak and remove all doubt...
Everything in the popular press today is designed to distract us from one thing and one thing only. The 2020 election, January 6, Ukraine, Chinese aggression, the southern border, inflation, crime, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Climate Change, record debt, all of these things taken together and more pale beside the One Big Thing. Collectively all of these things are of no account to our global overlords in comparison to the one true, the One Big Thing. Hitler’s many crimes were topped by one big crime against 6 million. The One Big Thing? It is the greatest crime against humanity ever conceived and greater by 3 orders of magnitude than its’ ancestral relative. It is the deliberate poisoning by injection of 6 Billion people. This crime cannot, at all costs, be brought into the full light of day and and discovered unequivocally by the human race. It must be buried for at least 2 generations, possibly longer, and no means to do so can or will be left unattended. What do we make of our daily press, our media obsessions, our controlled inboxes and our manipulated screens, all the thieves of our daily time and attention? They are all there for one purpose and one purpose only ............. TO DISTRACT US.

For the first time in at least 35 years of reading your missives, I may disagree with you. I admit to being unsophisticated and probably a bit naive, but why is trying to stay in power by shady means when you have lost an election not a crime? I do realize ballot boxes were stuffed and other votes made to disappear at other times in our country's history, but that should have been a crime also. I have much more sympathy for the Jan 6 crowd who have been put in prison for acting on their sincere belief in the Trump lies about a stolen election than I could ever muster for a big bully who thinks he can get away with staying in power just because he wants to. He appears to want to be a king or dictator when he is in power. How is attempting to subvert the constitutional process not as dangerous in this late stage of our republic as it would be at any other time? I realize the current president is no great bargain either, but his time for accounting will also come, no doubt when the country is least helped by it. I see why you call this a comic opera, but it feels more like a tragedy to me, one small elderly citizen looking out the window at the woods next to the sunny, bright green yard.
Haha, everybody: Joke's on us! We were propagandized mercilessly in the late 50s, early 60s. As a kid, I was bombarded with junk like National Geographic (topless natives! oh, boy!), UNICEF, Weekly Reader, all of it designed to show the distress in the world and our moral obligation to fix it all. I remember OD-ing on it after awhile. The conclusion I came to, often sharing same with my peers, much as I am doing now, was that all of this worldly misery was a function of the the fact that these beings were obviously incapable of self-government! Tough luck for them, right? Come to find out, after all this time, WE are obviously incapable of self-government as well, and, in fact, spectacularly so! The poor miserables profferred up for my consideration in the day were just honest about it. Like Adam and Eve hiding from God on account of their nakedness, they simply couldn't hide it. WE, on the other hand... Best always. PM
In a properly functioning election, a candidate does not declare victory before the votes have been fully counted. In a properly functioning election a candidate does not declare, before votes are even cast, that if he loses then the election is a fraud. Mr. Trump is a criminal. To declare otherwise is nonsense.
Here, here, to declare victory before the votes are counted is a criminal act. It's just like yelling 'fire' in a theater. Free speech is not 'free,' and should be regulated, and everything a politician says should be scrutinized by the central committee to insure they are not lying to us.
Tired of the left cliches about free speech for thee but not for me. Cvinaugh ..you have reaped the whirlwind. ... Thousands of other available references more contemporary than the movie theater idiocy. What are you twelve years old?
Beautiful description of the political cancer that has metastasized to all the vital organs of this Democracy! Time to call for Hospice to ease it's demise!
Bill, you got everything right in this missive, except your characterization of Trump. I guess you get a pass every once in a while to show your ignorance. Otherwise, good write.
I really do enjoy Bills missives.. writing, and thoughts. But.. Kennedy great everybody else bad. With Halloween approaching, I'm wondering If he might have been one of the kids with the little unicef tube, where they wanted money in addition to candy, so they could send it to united nations. This crap, comic opera, tragedy, or any rose by another name has been in the works for a while. We just let it get out of hand.
Despite Bill’s books, especially his two most recent ones, and his hundreds of essays, many posters here still don’t get it: Bill is a libertarian through whom runs a streak of philosophical anarchism (to be distinguished from political anarchism). So even if he thought better of Donald Trump (Trump would still be a coarse, narcissistic buffoon), Bill would not boost him—for the simple reason that he has concluded, rightly, that we are beyond being saved by any politician, that politics itself has been pushed off the stage by mathematics. If I fault Bill for anything he’s written, it’s his recent pas de deux with Robert Kennedy, Jr., which has given some readers here the impression that Bill is somehow pining for a white knight to set things right. Bill knows that the prospects of such a reset are only slightly better than those of a perpetual-motion machine.
I suspect that Bill has read some of the excellent books and articles of the past few decades that have made powerful (and, for me, persuasive) arguments for a libertarianism that puts to shame many of the hackneyed defenses of majoritarian democracy. These works do not shrink from laying blame all around. For example, that hallowed mantra “We the people” gets a thorough and well-deserved drubbing. The people are indolent, ignorant, and corrupt! How better explain the results of the most recent mid-term elections? And Bill is surely aware of perhaps the greatest of all obstacles to taming the American Empire—namely, entrenched and largely unaccountable bureaucracies, many of which take pride in circumventing or mushing the directives of even presidents. (One of the earliest and most influential studies of the depredations of “the administrative state” is Graham Allison’s 1969 article “Conceptual Models and the Cuban Missile Crisis." It turns out that JFK did not have as much control over his own government as many of us might have thought he had when he jousted with Khrushchev in 1962.)
I should note that the “Afterthought,” subtitled “Amor Fati,” to Bill’s book “Un-civilizing America . . . “ is itself worth the price of the book.
President Trump is the GOP nominee and future President.
The criminal indictment counts are baseless. Even a cherry mouthpiece can easily make all the charges disappear under the premise of the US constitution Article I, the whole scheme is unconstitutional. Mr Smith will soon be applying Rule 48 Dismissal and also applying for a new job. 😂
It’s happening faster than quick, The fake indictments are dropping like flies.
Aaah flied lice please! 😂
Trump eats Chuck Norris’s breakfast! They can’t stop him, hahaha, nobody can, the Libs can eat his shorts. He is the last hope for this country, in the next 4 years he will bring us back to the heights of The Roman Empire, bar none.
How could one person (you) be so wrong! Trump as future president? No way. If he steals the election I'm leaving. If anyone is quaking in his boots, it's Trump. The last hope for the country? No, it will be the death knell. Do you think the Roman Empire was so great? Look what happened to it. And tell me which indictments are dropping like flies.
If the US can borrow $5 billion a day for the next decade ... it sure has a lot of ‘goodwill’ still on the books and as such no financial problem in sight. But this rather reminds me of the ‘thanksgiving story’ in which Bill explains the turkey enjoys a good life grazing carefree, thinking it will last forever... until it doesn’t!
If in fact, the West can borrow on for the next 10 years the East are turkeys... if not we are.
See "How to Learn from the Turkey," pages 40-41 in Nassim Taleb's book "The Black Swan," published in 2007. Taleb acknowledged that he borrowed it from Bertrand Russell: "Since Russell's original example [of the problem of induction] used a chicken, this is the enhanced North American adaptation."
The sun will rise up tomorrow morning and will slip down tomorrow night as it did yesterday. All will happen despite mankind’s best endeavors to Bulldoze, Bother, Besmirch ...Blah
So true brother JayCee! Our past passes with each day, and things are getting more bizarre everyday. It’s what we must do to preserve our future that is the only question 🤔
As the world gets more demonic and wickedness abounds,( just as was foretold for this generation, I take comfort in the words at 2Peter chapter 2 , which I’m sure you will have read Steve ? Judgement will surely come…have faith…
Just a bunch of clowns in an endless clown act. The Nobel prize included so as to confirm there isn't an entity in the west that has the slightest thread of integrity. Professors writing MMT. Funeral homes getting $9000 if someone dies of covid, free funerals. with a history of billions of safe applications of Ivermectin suddenly it become horse tranquilizer to allow experiments on humans without liability so they can funnel money to the clowns. Welcome the stench of politics with an ignorant public. Next thing you know we'll have to send our sons off to war to fight "someone" these clowns determine are our latest enemy all to retain these clowns in power.

Yup. It's hard to "play" someone when they are already on your team...

spot on but in aussie land no one will talk about it ,or even accept the obvious.
Since Dr. Ron Paul was not able to get himself elected president, Donald Trump may have been the next best thing.
Certainly not "The Great Reset" but a small break in the Clinton-Obama-Clinton trajectory, and an outside answer to the RINO's.

Interesting. You hit my credit card for your annual fee before calling me a moron for not "throwing the bastards out".
I went to college, got a degree in Accounting and I've been a CPA for 35 years and my IQ has been consistently measured well above average.
But don't fear Bill. You didn't insult my intelligence. You insulted yours.
Indeed. More and more it feels like the Marx Brothers' A Night at. the Opera meets Terry Gilliams' Brazil, with a touch of A Clockwork Orange.
