THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Smitty-48]

Good piece on Trump's speech in the NP...

Rex Murphy: Trump delivered a plain, serious and monumental promise to give Washington back to the people

Trump has no cloud of semantics or rhetorical overflight to hide behind. He has given himself no cover. This is not the famous blank slate of Barack Obama. Trump, in his bare 15 minutes or so made a commitment that reaches to the particular lives and welfare of individual Americans, and the measurement of that commitment is thereby in the hands and hearts of every American to whom he made it. Their lives will either be better in four years or not, and there is no pillar behind which Mr. Trump can hide, nor I suspect will he seek to hide, if he cannot keep it.

The brevity of the speech had one unintended obscurity, or rather acted to obscure how momentous the Trump ascendancy threatens or promises to be. Just how much of a radical shift, a convulsion, that the moment of its occasion represented. Trump has virtually cleared the table of politics as it has been practiced and played for over a generation. He has bulldozed the old verities of political practice. He has shattered the codes of party politics, routed the tired mages of the political panels, the think tanks and NGOs. And he has utterly bypassed the hollow practices of virtue signalling and the insidious tribalism of identity politics. And as for the claustrophobic thought-amputations of political correctness, he has, correctly, shown nothing but scorn and dismissal. This is a wholesale reworking of the mode and understanding of modern American politics.

Most heretically, he has fervently embraced that most basic and condign of civic emotions: patriotism. It has been the style of enervated liberalism to decry, even to shame, the principal virtue of any serious polity: faith and pride in one’s own country and fellow citizens. Trump is not ashamed to be American. He glories in it. For a whole great swath of American opinion, certainly for the enlightened swamis of Hollywood and academia, for all the stale, tired and wearisome activists and professional grievance farmers, this is a radical perspective. His address amounted to a noble, though forgotten, truism. The purpose of a government is to serve the people of that country whose government it is.

Bunch of bitches. You ain't seen it yet. That steel comes out, they crumble.

Probably related to the fact that there are crazy fucks that would shoot them in the head rather than fight like a man.

The correct response is to put distance between yourself and the crazy fuck.

Thanks for the dispatch from the Ivory Tower. :goteam:

Hey, if skeletal is your thing, more power to you, but Sir Smitz-a-Lot just ain't down with that, and with the plastic surgery, the botox, and too much sun on top? Yeesh.

I mean, hell, Melania looks like Vladimir Putin in drag.

You're just racist against Slavs

This is a great article, definitely outlines why the retard establishment is calling it "dark"

It was a great speech, touching on the same populist issues that populists have been preaching since the Gracchi.

Watching the MSM whores try to keep control over their bogus narrative is really becoming unbelievable in the face of all this violence and rioting. They have been running with the Trump Supporters == Violent theme for more than a year now, and I am not sure if they realize all of America can see they are lying, and it's exactly the opposite.

Stay classy liberals:

Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich is taking heat after targeting President Donald Trump’s preteen son in an Inauguration Day tweet.
“Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter,” Ms. Rich, 35, wrote from her Twitter account Friday amid festivities surrounding Mr. Trump’s swearing-in.
The jab was visible on the writer’s Twitter page for around three hours Friday before Ms. Rich deleted the tweet and set her account to private.
Screenshots of the comment continued to circulate online through Saturday morning, however, spurring condemnation and calls for Ms. Rich’s termination.
“Sick jokes about a 10 year old are classless and go way too far,” opined Twitter user Parker Waters, a self-described photojournalist from New Orleans.

FYI, this is why you LOST.

These are the same bitches that said Obamas kids were off limits to any sort of jokes or commentary. The longer this goes on the more the liberals look like a bunch or crybullys. They can't help themselves. They had 8 years of being in control, expecting everyone else to bow down to them and their views. Now that they are no longer in a position of bullying the rest of us they can't hold back their tantrums. The media,the celebs, and those social media can't handle being civil.. WTF happened to Stronger Together?

[SuburbanFarmer]

Uhhh yeah. Dubya anyone?

You hear the Army is going Sig?

Made in America. It's ok. I just found out their m4's are Belgium made. They apparently get them at $650 a pop which is actually respectable considering.

Would a Purple Revolution work in America or would rural folk drive to these population centers and confront them?
