He is easy to control, because he reacts predictably. All those missiles he sent into Syria, based on evidence that was shown later to be fake, was a prime example.

Also, he is not a multi billionaire, or wasn't before the presidency, I'm not sure now. He had many billions of dollars in debt, but that doesn't make someone a multi billionaire. It was one of the things that he always lied about. We know he lied about it because a reporter in the UK did a report detailing how it was a lie. Trump sued him for libel, slander, and a host of other things, but lost his lawsuit because everything in the article was verified to be true.

You're definition of puppet is different from mine. Everyone is affected by circumstances beyond their control

As for the rest? Your milage may vary. I don't give a UK reporter much credibility. In fact I don't give the radical left wing ANY credibility. The fact that 98% of all media reports about trump have been negative leads me to believe that the radical left wing media have an agenda.

I suspect that you are wrong about his billionaire status, along with everything else you are wrong about.

HOWEVER. It's all irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. There's no way in hell that I'd ever vote for a democrat. End of story.

End of story? Then you, too, are being controlled. Democrats and Republicans are the same party, the Corporate party. Left wing media coverage of Trump was negative because negative coverage sells media. The agenda is to divide people into ideological blocks and milk them for all they're worth. Trump was happy to be a puppet in this game because he thinks that if you have the highest TV ratings, you're on top. Why do you think he responds to bad press with statements that any thinking person would know for a fact will only bring more bad press? The only successful business he's ever engaged in, other than laundering some money in real estate, is selling his name. His name is only worth something if everybody knows his name.

That is also why, when the media decided they were done with him, they didn't just give him more 'bad' press. They just quit talking about him every day. Then they quit mentioning him every week. Unless he finds a way to grow his base again, soon I'll probably only have to hear about him once a month or less.

Maybe our definitions of puppet are different. To me, the puppet doesn't know it's a puppet, it just responds to people pulling the strings.

Don't think I'm a Biden fan. I'm never going to vote for him, and I don't encourage anyone else to. If you were showing signs of Biden worship, I'd be coming at you with facts about why Biden is a lying, conniving puppet. But you already seem to see it in Biden. I just want to help you see that Trump is not, and never was, a hero either. He's just another lying, conniving, entitled heir of a millionaire who's better at making poor people angry than the typical politician.

Now that we have that out of the way. What do you propose?

I propose disengaging from BOTH of the mainstream narratives.

by definition there is only one mainstream. Sorry. Words mean things.

One mainstream can have more than one narrative. Words mean more than one thing, it's part of the problem with communication.

Sorry is a word that means something that you really didn't mean here.

You might read this. It might give you cause to reconsider what you said about 'easy to control'.

No, yet another Trump fluff piece that just echoes his own lies and promises isn't going to change my mind about how easy he is to control. All it does is reinforce my belief that the people controlling him are also controlling you. Believing this kind of yellow journalism doesn't make you free, any more than believing CNN makes you smart.

CNN? You mean that radical far left fake news outlet that has less viewers than Joe Rogan, a guy who podcasts from his basement?

I'm amazed. You can analyze something without even reading it. I bet that was handy in school. You have gone to school haven't you? If you haven't no problem. I apologize for presuming.

I did read it. It didn't take long because it was mostly regurgitated propaganda that I had already read elsewhere.

Did you think I was recommending CNN? We are definitely talking about the same one, judging by your description. Or did you just see 'CNN', think I was arguing with you, and lose all the context? That, my friend, is programming. Deprogram yourself.

Yeah I did think you were recommending CNN.
This has been fun but I gotta go. Feel free to continue. I'll pick up on it when I get back.

Haha, I'll let it continue on the other thread. I also have to get about my day, hope yours goes well.
