Down The Rabbit Hole, Said Humpty Trumpty…and we followed!
There was a famous saying about how people who live by the sword, die by the sword… which is ridiculous on so many levels apart from the fact that you have to infer so much meaning that the saying makes no literal sense…
I mean, if you said those who live by the river, die by the river, it might make sense because if you’re living by – or beside – a river then there’s every chance that you’d be swept away by a flood eventually. Surely even those who argue that climate change isn’t man-made because we’re too small to affect the weather, even if the Democrats caused those hurricanes with their weather controlling machines…
To cut to the chase and not be distracted by all sorts of proverbs, I’d just like to share something that I read today about how Elon Musk’s StarLink had some sort of link to the voting machines and this is why in states where the Democrats won all the other elections of the day, Trump held sway…
Now, I’ve never believed most conspiracy theories… although the one about how the rich and powerful have made up all sorts of structures to not only allow but also justify their oppression of the people who don’t seem to notice the structures that oppress them, does seem to have a certain authenticity about it in historic terms. These days, of course, the rich and powerful are all about draining the swamp and stopping oppression. Just ask Donald and Elon!
However, I say, in a voice that suggests I should be using capitals, if the Trump supporters believed that the last election was stolen just because he said so, and he convinced them that the voting machines were rigged so that we didn’t get a real result, then why should the non-Trump supporters not also believe that the whole thing was rigged?
No, no, no! I’m not saying that it was rigged. I’m not saying that there was something suspect… I’m just saying if you alert the people to stand down and stand by and convince them that the vote was rigged and then some of them – without encouragement from a leader of the free world – launch an insurrection all by themselves, why won’t at least some of the people who were told that the vote couldn’t be trusted last time, find it easy to convince the vote can’t be trusted this time?
The whole thing about any political system is that it relies on faith. Once people stop believing in it, the crumbling may be slow but it’ll be inevitable. Only the belief that the king is really the king makes the coins with his image worth their stamped value. Only the belief that you live in a democracy and that your vote is being counted makes it worth voting. Only the belief that the bank really has your money stops a run on the banks. Only the belief that the people running the show are actually smarter than us stops the revolution… Mind you, I should add that some of the people running some of the shows are obviously smarter; one only has to listen to the confused attempts to repeat what someone has told them from Vox Pop interviews with various people to conclude that!
There are two big fears about Trump 2.0. The first is that he doesn’t do most of the things that he promised and that’ll lead to some people saying, “See we told you that you had nothing to worry about!” and nobody will notice how insane he is until he does something really, really strange and dangerous. The second is that he does do the things he promised and that’ll lead to the destruction of the USA as we know it… Still, I guess it’s often better to face your fears.
Odds on the way Trump’s presidency ends:
- Trump standing down after four years 10-1
- Trump dying in office from heart attack while dancing at a rally 5-1
- Trump being pushed down some stairs by Melania 2-1
- Vance declaring him incompetent and taking over. 25-1
- Trump and Musk taking space flight together and rocket exploding after the earth rejects their return. 12-1
- Military Coup 2-1
- Trump choking on Big Mac after speaking while eating: Even money.
I guess all we can do in the mean time is have a good old fashioned sing along! (Lyrics below clip!)

Return to home pageMy money would be on no.4. Otherwise why kiss the ring?
And as for no.3, the world needs to stop with the fantasy of “poor Melania”.
She’s as bad as he is.
Was this all just food for thought Rossleigh, or did you wake up screaming and record your thoughts ?
There was something very suspect about the election on the other side of the Pacific last Tuesday, and apparently it was voted in as President of the United Stupid Arseholes.
Who would ever have thought that the septics would shoot themselves in their own backsides. Again.
“We need to pay the bills somehow”… said Elmo, the richest man on earth, a man whose net worth rose by ~USD 74Bn following the orange bloviator’s electoral success, pushing him into an eye-watering stratospheric region greater than USD 300 Bn.
Elmo wants the little people to pay for use of his debased social media folly. How unsurprising.
As for Rossleigh’s book of probabilities, noted that he didn’t include the cane toad getting plugged by a patriot; I’d rank that higher than the other options. After all, there are precedents; Kennedy, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley. And there are many decommissioned ex-army snipers in that country, along with the CIA’s private army of killers for hire.
I think the plan (from certain quarters, ie the christofascists) has always been for #4, but I’d love to see #5. Two turds with one stone, as it were.
I do note that the list of ways the Trump presidency may end and their odds does not include the following:
The odds of that happening? Sfa!!
But most regulars here will know me as someone who occasionally thinks outside of the box.
I just had a quick look at the Bureau of Met Satview site ( //satview.bom.gov.au/ )
and I think the Democrats have parked a square-arse cloud east of Coffs with one of their “weather controlling machines”. Can someone ask them to move it as I need to do the washing tomorrow?
Arnd, yes, my real name is AsIf too.
But really everyone misses the point, the election win was not due to policies or morals. It was dumb people lashing out at their poor status, financially and socially. The Democrats were pidgeoned holed as establishment. All Trump had to say was he didnt give a shit. And clearly he didnt. The lie was easier to believe than the truth.
here is my idea why. 1/3 of humans are stupid. 1/3 of humans can be trained to be stupid.
And Rob, dont laugh. I have a friend in Oz who was a pretty full on engineer who now claims the earth is flat and governments control the weather. I dispare at the state of human development, we are no better than the apes in the trees and probably never will get any better.
Canguro, I agree “Elmo” is a risk to american social stability. Anyone who asserts governments are like a corporation needs to be certified. As if military and tax cuts havent already been prioritised over social cohesion. We had robodebt because of that very same ideology. Americans dont have the same safety net as our judicial system. I predict , more people are going to get hurt than people blessed by these insane policy positions. I mean just look at the qualifications of some of these creeps. I too would rather take my chances with the local plumber than any doctor they appoint.
Andy,
And the most vigorous and effective party to pigeonhole the Democrats as technocratic establishment? The Democrats themselves!
It is, incidentally, a critical analysis of the election loss that is increasingly made by Democrat insiders themselves. There’s plentiful commentary to that effect in the New York Times, for example.
Democrats – some of them, anyway – do appreciate where they went wrong.
But ideas about how to get it right are far thinner on the ground. Trying to get the managers of institutions to realise that the institutions they are running have become a major part of the problem … – turns out to be a big problem in itself!!
MAGA – Make America Garbage Again.
Congrats, NOT, to a majority of morons voting for the slogan machine Trump. A serial lying, election denying, inciter of violence, and convicted criminal.
USA so morally bankrupt.
