Re: [MBZ] WAY OT: If Trump Should Win the Election

Good point.
One of my favorite quotes is, I believe, from Mark Twain.

"The most dangerous place in America is District of Columbia when Congress
is in session."

[May have been Will Rogers... both were slightly before my time, but
equally brilliant at getting to the point.]

I think we need a time-out, we don't really need congress or a president for a 
couple years. Pass a continuing resolution to fund the government at current 
levels for the next 4 years and let the system run itself for awhile

Case made. Showmanship has made Donald Trump incredibly rich and
influential.  Well demonstrated by these examples and hundreds of others.

So... Who would you rather vote for.. an entertaining guy who is successful
in business. or a gal whose claim to fame is decades of political
manipulation and several congressional investigations into her actions
because they have all the ear marks of having been violations of law.. 

Or... does this Republic still belong to We the People, capable of running
our own lives and our own country?

He won't win. It's rigged. He is part of the rig. Here is my FB post on the 
topic. For most folks I'm sure it is TL;DR or too long, didn't read. 

Enjoy. This will be my only post on this subject. 

Okay. With all the hoopla over the upcoming presidential election, I figure I 
will post my take on things. Some effort is required on your part, to 
understand where I am coming from. 
First things first. Do you know the meaning of the word "Kayfabe"? No? Here's a 
link, please read the article, it's rather interesting. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

You really read it, right? Especially the subtitle "Trump buys WWE Monday Night 
Raw". Go back and read it

Okay, now I need you to watch a video. Understand that the two executive 
looking guys really are executives of their respective corporations. Each of 
them is worth well in excess of a billion dollars. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMKFIHRpe7I=em

I've always found WWF, WWE entertaining, especially this clip. Didn't you? 

Now, the final thing I need for you to do, to exactly understand my 
perspective, is this. Take a long hard look at this picture.  

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/17/the-wedding-that-explains-the-election.html

Read the first paragraph (rest of the article is kayfabe). Hillary (and 
Chelsea) sat in the front row of Donald and Melania Trumps wedding. In front of 
Donald's children. You know, the place where Donald's parents would have sat, 
were they alive. 

Get it yet?
