trial-balloon-for-a-coup

Dumbo said a billion things, and then he took them back, and then he said them again, and at one point he said he was just saying things and he probably wouldn't do them, and then he said maybe he would, and then he said this and then he said that.  These things like the wall and banning muslims are things we hated when he said them.  Why should we like them now that he does them?  If the big girl had promised to make you marry your gay dog and turn your gun into a plowshare, and then won the election and did it, would you have said, "Oh she's keeping her promises, how nice."

Obama issued about  as many executive orders (I did look it  up) as Clinton and W, oh and dumbo, except it took those other guys eight years to issue their 45 some orders and dumbo has done that many in eight  days.  And I seem to remember the reps and dumbo screaming bloody murder (and I think Beagles complained about it a few times, but I may be wrong about that) about Obama's executive orders.  If it was bad when Obama did it, why isn't it bad when dumbo does it,

And it's not the executive orders per se, it's the contents of them.  This is crappy stuff.  Not only is it stupid, in that it hurts the interests of America, but it drags America down in the dirt with the rest of the countries ruled by tin pot dictators.  Okay a little strong, but geez just stand back and look at what this guy is doing.


I'm not a big fan of conspiracy theories because there are always odd things going on in the world, and if you have a pet theory you can always pick and choose things to prove it.  And most of the time they don't draw any solid conclusions.  They don't see Colonel Mustard killed the Plum character in the kitchen with the candlestick, they just say, isn't this suspicious.  Seems like there didn't use to be as many conspiracy theories, more likely there were, it seems like a human nature thing, but we didn't hear about them as much.  Probably the internet right?  And maybe a distinction should be made between the bull goose loony ones like the birthers and the truthers, and the more moderate and somewhat better documented trial-balloon-for-a-coup one that Old Dog presents us with from the nether reaches of the internet.

I'm wondering if this theory has a lot of followers or is it just this guy's idea.  He begins by making six observations which are kind of scattered, and maybe some of them dubious, (who has time to research all this?), then he puts them all together to come to a conclusion that I have seen part of in the lame stream medial  Mainly that Bannon has won dumbo's heart and along with his son in law, Priebus, and some guy named Miller or some bland name like that, are taking the reins of power to themselves and not sharing them.

One odd fact mentioned at the beginning was some White House holocaust announcement that didn't mention Jews specifically and caused a minor uproar, and I wondered how this fit in with anything, and it didn't seem to be mentioned again.

I am a steady viewer of the Sunday shows, and one thing I have noticed with the rise of Trumpism is how rude his people are to the commentators.  Sure the politicians always weaseled and lied, but there was always a civility on the shows.  But these Trumpists take pride in being rude to the press, you can almost see them looking back to their insider group, hey guys see,  I'm being cool too,

Reince didn't use to be like that, he was always civil, a little meek even, among the bigger blowhards, but last week he was mouthing off like there was no tomorrow and appeared to be having the time of his life.  Now he is playing with the big boys.

The trial balloon/coup thing never got to the point of an actual coup as in overthrowing the gov, it did link the Russkies in in a vague way that I didn't follow.

As far as our elected officials (and why don't we schlubs at the bar have some responsibility) stepping up to the task, there is nothing much the dems can do but howl, and the reps are craven, though I do suspect there is some whispering going on in the upper reaches about how can we knock this boke off.

"...he kept hounding you, asking you question after question until you said, alright Socrates whatever you say."

Alright, Uncle Ken; whatever you say.

Yeah right, whenever have I heard Old Dog say, "Alright Uncle Ken."?
