Ever heard the phrase “When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout”? I’m seeing more people all the time running in circles. They can’t move in a straight line toward a goal. It is as if they’ve got one shoe nailed to the ground. Life for those circling the drain is one frustration after another and they’re unaware of how silly they look, with only one leg propelling them. I see similar behavior from Trump. People close to him are aware of it, but not Trump. He feels frustration and anger that he is not getting what he wants. He expresses that on twitter and in unscripted speeches:

The key to keeping Trump’s Twitter habit under control, according to six former campaign officials, is to ensure that his personal media consumption includes a steady stream of praise. And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk....A former senior campaign official said Nunberg and his successor, former communications director Jason Miller, were particularly skilled at using alternative media like Breitbart, Washington Examiner, Fox News, Infowars and the Daily Caller to show Trump positive coverage.

ump-under-control

The people who run in circles want Trump to guide them straight. I don’t think he can do it, even from the White House. The argument that government competence is necessary for Trump to make things better is an argument made by people who have tried do good things in government without destroying institutions. Those people are deeply impressed by how difficult it is to improve the world through government. But they haven’t had the experience of just trying to destroy things or ratchet up tension. Their lived experience may not apply to the things Trump wants to do. Trump’s wants do not really require competence. Lucky for Trump. Next terror incident (we’re only into day 32 of Trump) he’ll do a Trump Smash. It’s like a Hulk Smash, but not as carefully planned as the Hulk’s. On that day I do hope Mike Pence is around to talk sense into Trump.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but no way am I going to dwell on this. Election over. Moving on. Go ahead, impeach him, let's have a civil war. Install the unaccountable deep state coup and have Chuck Schumer create an intelligence panel to control CIA, NSA and JSOC, and go to war, and watch him put Hillary in charge of this new shadow govt. Sure, let's have a military police state. These are great ideas. They work well for Kim Jong Un. They're doing okay for ISIS. Make it happen. Just let me move first.

My plan? run a better candidate in four years. Maybe start some sort of media group before then that doesn't insult the president so that it has some influence. But enough with the crazy and the Clintonista.

Edit,

Second. I've only been back a week and already I'm not reading THGRRI's posts, like, at all. This is what is happening to the left protests, it's what's happening to the left media. It's what will happen to everyone who keeps on in this vain. Complaining does not lead to a solution. It leads to you silencing yourself. Sure, there are complaints to be made, and will be, but who will ever hear those complaints in this din of negativity? Not Trump. Not me. No one, that's who. No one will hear it, because they will have tuned it out long ago, much like you, I and everyone not on the far right tuned out Rush Limbaugh, and everyone not on the far left tuned out Bill Maher.

People who have an audience only of people who agree with them have no advantage outside of the ability to sell corporate products, and that's what they do, whether it's koolaid or candidates.

Okay, I'll bite. Trump is watching TV and all a-twitter. If so, then who's in the drivers seat?

Trump, obviously. The best analogy about Trump being in the driver's seat would be Trump is driving an 18 wheeler and he keeps running his big rig over the curb when he turns a corner. And don't ask Trump to drive his truck backwards. He does not understand that the steering wheel is turned right to get the trailer to go left. Trump is completely confused with how to steer the government, as he would be confused driving an 18 wheeler. Straight ahead is the only thing he can do.

And please don't ask Trump to read a highway map printed on paper. It would be incomprehensible to him. Hopefully the police will arrest him for speed violations.

The thing Trump would be really good at as a Trucker? Talking on citizen band radio!

The conventional wisdom here is that it's a tug of war between Pence, Bannon, and Ivanka, unless you want the antisemitic redux, and then it's Israel, Breitbart and Kushner.

I think if Breitbart had that much power, Milo wouldn't have just gotten the ax. Ivanka has his ear, and Pence has everyone else's. Still, I suspect he trusts his daughter more. I think Bannon will get the propaganda end, to pull the strings and make the Donald say unimaginably stupid drivel, and Pence will make all the energy deals for industry at the expense of everyone, and Ivanka will end up in charge of everything else.

Unless there's a deep state coup.

Here's what to look for:

If control over JSOC, et al., is transferred away from Trump & Mattis, that's a coup.

There's no way to survive supporting a pedophile. It's the bad news story that keeps on giving. I don't think Milo's going reflects on Brannon's place of authority in the White House.

A deep state coup doesn't happen in America. They tried that with Clinton and his ratings amongst the populist went up. The American people don't like others unfairly taking down someone they voted for. If Trump goes he will have had to do something even the Republicans cannot defend him against. If power shifts amongst his advisors it will be because the structure as it is isn't working.

Lol. And if you can't trust Wolf Blitzer, who can you trust?

Okay, bring back the Pirate News. I feel the credibility gap widening.

If someone thinks a picture of a few hundred or even a thousand protesters implies a good chance Milo will be redeemed in the eyes of the public, someone is kidding themselves. Every time he has an event where he speaks his detractors are going to chant pedophile. Besides, there's no story of who is protesting and why. Are you sure that's not a crowd at an anti Trump rally?

Cites please...

Also, Bill Maher is guilty of saying the same thing as Milo and is having to answer for that now. The difference is that it is very conceivable that Milo acted out himself with minors.

It's actually the anti-Milo protest. I meant, look, millions of people want to overthrow democracy just because Trump won. Oh well, so much for the "they would never do that theory."

CPAC dug up the Maher footage to doom Milo, that's openly known, as is the Milo-Pence feud. That it splashes back and hit's Maher, that's life. Will it doom Milo? I doubt it.

Look back at my rant threads against Milo to see where I stand on that.
