I am mainly amused. For I have long seen US politics – what we see on the screens – as basically a TV series. And in recent years the script writers have been mainly very poor. The assassination episode was briefly gripping, but that died down all too quickly. Harris played her character fairly well, but I am not sure if she is simply a very bad actor or she was actually cast as a woman who could barely string together a coherent sentence let alone a valuable thought? I believe she was never meant to play the main role, and the barely animated cadaver role for Biden got a bit too serious in regards to the physical break down of his mind, more quickly than the producers of the series had expected.
Something had to give, as viewing figures were dropping and the producers needed a reboot of sorts. We now have one, and we can but hope that the new season is more entertaining.
Obama was good in his role, as the Grand Deceiver, before him Bush was my favourite! Casting a hick cokefiend as the president was a master stroke, I can still see him now stating that Saddam killed Mandela and his family, when the Mandelas were all still alive! hohoho! That was amazing viewing. Yet we have not had much to enjoy of the series since then really.
One of my all time favourite episodes!
More people need to to realise that these people are well paid professional liars/actors. That is their job, not to run the country, that is done by other people we don’t really see much of. And their corporate overseers.
As for my thinking on some of the key issues which appear to be concerning people—-
Will Trump kneel down to Putin?
Not if his last ‘term’ is anything to go by…
Ignoring the ‘Russiagate’ hoax for the morons, what is demonstrable is that Trump’s crowd last time –
Assassinated the military leader and widely considered hero of Iran (key Russian ally)
Doubled down to pillage and continue the occupation in Syria (key Russian ally where RF is openly fighting)
Destroyed the INF missile treaty (Key treaty for avoiding conflict between RF and the West)
Massive escalation in economic and information war on China (key Russian ally)
Great increase in sanctions on Russia
Began supplying Ukrainie with lethal military aid
Probably more but clearly, under any objective focus, Trump was appalling for Russia during his last stint as head spokesman/professional liar in the shite house.
I dont think he decides anything at all himself on an international level, he will be managed by others as he was before. I’ve not much idea on US domestic policy so won’t try to get into how the US government shapes this and who it may impact the worst.
Will Putin destroy women’s rights?
The ‘democrats’ have financed, supported and protected the most widely televised live massacre and maiming of women and children the world has seen since the Nazis, via their great chums the zionist regime in Israel…I understand some of the concerns over domestic policy that may change in the US, yet from outside, the US government has long been the most barbaric on the planet already, its nothing new for millions around the world whose lives they have maimed, brutalised, destroyed and ended.
Governments usually go after certain parts of society, either the weak they can exploit or groups whose support they need so throw some weight behind oppressing whoever they hate to make their supporter base feel like they have their voice heard or anyone who poses significant bother to the established status quo. I do not know enough about US domestic policy to comment in any way usefully, my focus has long been US foreign policy.
Will Trump change US foreign policy drastically?
I’m more focused on US foreign policy, which is long decided by the corporate state well beyond any president. I doubt that will change suddenly. The direction of the US orchestrated conflict in Ukraine has long been clear, doubt that will change much now, Ukraine loses, US corporate interests pillage what they can as usual. The ongoing war with china will continue as the global hegemon continues to try slow down the rise of the only major threat to its global power. The Zionist regime will continue it’s genocide and greater Israel brutal colonialism. Brics will continue to very slowly expand/work together and towards a move away to some degree from the $ backed global market systems…I’m not sure what difference if any Trump makes to any of this, it’s already happening.
Will Trump end support for Ukraine?
They’ve already lost, and the pentagon has long known this, the support has already been waning under the current US government, they are just making money for their sponsors, trying to destabilise the region as much as possible, bleed Russia as much as possible, make a killing on the corporate front and pillage any resources they can get…they have not shown any serious support for Ukraine ‘winning the conflict’ whatsoever, solely using them as a proxy to get at Russia. The steady decline in material support has been going on for many moons already…the main project there was to destabilise the region, isolate Russia, ideally regime change russia but very slim chance and it didn’t work but nevermind plenty of other US corporate state agenda goals met. All at the cost of likely close to a million Ukrainian lives, Ukraine crunched into a rump state and perhaps a couple of hundred thousand russian lives. Win win for the US corporate state.

Will Trump end NATO?
NATO is just a brand name, it’s a front office for the US corporate state led military bloc. Trump can say whatever he wants but is nowhere near as powerful a player as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Jp Morgan, BlackRock (e.g. they manage $11 trillion of assets) and plenty of others long directly controlling US foreign policy, colluding with the intelligence sector and beyond. Maybe some different billionaires of the corporate elite change position a little with contracts though still I doubt much change overall, there is always an overarching policy decision making system far removed from the shit show stage play of the shite house… NATO is just another name for the US military industry and its vassals. Turkey maybe not quite a total vassal but still falls into line when told and too powerful a regional player to be left out the gang.
Try to remember what happened when Trump said he would take the troops out of Syria…
He made a statement to say he was pulling the troops out. ‘His’ own ‘staff’ then ran to Israel to say ‘forget what he said, dont worry, ignore him, we are staying put!’ Then Trump boasts about staying in Syria to steal their oil!
(for those unaware, the US were long involved in the war launched upon Syria, as Sullivan wrote to Clinton, Al Qaeda were on our side…the 2012 defence intelligent agency report also explained the plans to make a salafist state balkanise Syria, to cut them off from other nearby nations and subsequently ISIS was born)
Trump will make deals!
Yes, he loves the attention, revels in the limelight and will go into discussions with foreign leaders trying to make deals and emerge as some kind of amazing negotiator, and who can say…perhaps he might do some good as a result of this, yet I am quite sure these will be fairly low key, nothing to derail the aforementioned established directions of US corporate state agenda on the key issues they face.
Trump is for the people!
Is he? I think that is just his PR angle. Whitney Webb gave a great in depth insight into one of his backers, who also long groomed Vance…
Also look into Sheldon Adelson, and now his widow and their funding and connections. Trumo and Vance are both puppets of very powerful members of the corporate elite.

This idea of Trump as a man who will clean up the system, ‘drain the swamp’, falls quickly flat when delving into who funds him.
These people are professional actors/liars. If you have any serious interest in gleaning an idea of who is calling the shots, you need to delve into the corporate elite directors of the US corporate state. Other than which, try to consider the hugely commercialised shitcom of Trump and whoever else as a TV show. They are highly paid actors…and yet lastly>>
Trump is a fascist!
Its a word bandied about so much in recent times that its close to lost all meaning, yet clearly, to anyone who has studied the earlier definitions and examples of fascism, Hitler and the nazis are the major one, Trump is not running concentration camps nor set upon global conquest and domination. Part of his supporter base may well be wannabe fascists, or real fascists, yet they have been mopped up to gather support, as they were easy to get at and condition to feeling they are finally part of a ‘movement’. Trump is not likely to launch the 1000 year reich! He is a business man who adores attention and has the money to fling himself into the spotlight and his character has been given the nod as a vehicle for those funding him to consolidate and expand their influence and power once he gets back into ‘power’.
You criticise Harris, Biden and Obama so must love Trump!
No, I do not love or support Trump. I find him a vainglorious cretin, an inveterate liar, a charlatan showman prone to wild bouts of insecurity driven tantrums and interesting solely as an indication of how fucked up the world is, especially the US. I am extremely cynical of the US and UK and EU governments. They are all connected and all long driven by what seems to be in line with the PNAC full spectrum dominance agenda. I have seen throughout my life the governments I pay taxtes to fund, and their media partners/ sponsors, manufacture consent and justification for mass murder probably well beyond a million people, the maiming and forced relocation of millions more, the destruction of country after country and as I realised a few years back, if and once any other countries gather enough strength to oppose this unipolar industrial mega carnage and pillage routine, the system will need to start focusing inwards, on us. To sew division, to oppress anyone fighting back, to remove rights and the capacity to survive from those whose lives can be monetised and destroyed. Whilst rather negative, this is backed up by years of research into the financial connections between the corporate elite and the western governments, especially the US.
Is there any hope?
Some experts far more clued up than me suggest so. Mainly focusing upon the idea of Trump having far greater power and influence over the US corporate state system and its vassals than I have long assumed. This hope is of a Europe left more to their own devices, some erosion/crumbling of US dominance over european government policy. And then I recall Mearsheimer warning of how if this happens, then there will be no power strong enough to keep the europeans from going to war with with each other, which to my thinking seems rather far fetched, even berserk talk. Maybe there is some substance to what he suggests, there usually is, yet a watered down version of european nations less ‘friendly’, I highly doubt they will be at each other’s throats and new wars abounding there.
Nut of the matter is that I do not believe this election, which was a stage show to me, will have any meaningful impact on the major geopolitical agenda of the US corporate state. Its a circus for the masses, nothing more, nothing less.
