WHO’S ON FIRST?
Ok ……….. President Elect Tweet isn’t Laural and Hardy……… YET!
But looking at his minions …… Holy Shit, as the Pope would say.
But what does he stand for?
So far President Elect Tweet has changed his position on torture because he talked with Four Star General James N. Mattis and Mattis said, “(He) found more value in building trust and rewarding cooperation with terrorism suspects: “‘Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers, and I’ll do better.’”(NY Times)
On the link between human activity and climate change Tweet now says, “I think there is some connectivity … it depends on how much.” Now on the surface that doesn’t seem like much of a change but it is a MAJOR change from “. . . climate change was(is) a hoax fabricated by the Chinese”.
President-elect Donald Tweet will not pursue an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. Or anything else about the Clintons. This is a rather significant change of position from, “I will say this: Hillary Clinton has to go to jail, ok ? She has to go to jail, phony hit job. She’s guilty as hell.”
And then there’s OBAMACARE …….. from get rid of it to making legal changes made to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
AND NOW Tweet is distancing himself from the alt-right movement as its white supremacist members claim his election as a boon for their agenda.
“I disavow and condemn them,” Tweet said Tuesday (11/22/16) during a wide-ranging interview with staff members of The New York Times.
AND THE WALL? Well, it may have to be scaled back a bit and just not be as long or high or maybe not at all.
And all this is where Tubularsock see some possibility of “hope and change” with President Elect Tweet ….. yes it is slight ……. very slight but a crack enough for possibly some “light” to get in.
We shall see ……… proceed but stay low because the ricochet may be risky.
But really, there is something refreshing about a person that can change direction when new information is presented and not be stopped by being wrong and refuse to change out of looking bad. On the contrary, President Elect Tweet views himself as NEVER WRONG about anything. Whatever position he holds that minute is CORRECT until it is not and then the exact opposite may be CORRECT. But DURING THE TIME he holds a position he is RIGHT!
And not only RIGHT but the GREATEST RIGHT you have ever witnessed bar none!
Now it can’t get better than that ………..

Your elections period runs so long they have to lie about something.

Dear Swo8,
“Your elections period runs so long they have to lie about something.”
No, Swo. It is rather that ‘their’ elections period runs so long, ‘they’ (the candidates and the voters) cannot but change their minds because things (the context, the circumstances, everything that is objective) changes, why even the demographics of the electoral base itself, what with even all who were minors at the outset having become persons of full legal responsibility by the time the votes are to be cast, and as everyone knows, no two generations have exactly the same outlook on reality, perhaps because reality itself changed in the interim, which in fact it has and did.
Now that I’ve explained all this to you and that you have now recognized your error and see things the ‘right’ way, will you declare that your change in perspective proves that until you changed it, everything you had been saying was a ‘lie?’ No, of course not. Things simply changed. You now see things differently, more as they really are, thanks to me. Therefore, like you, President Tweet wasn’t lying. He just came to see things differently even if it took him a while and his change of heart seems to have happened rather abruptly.
Thank you all for your time and for granting me this moment for further enlightening you all on the inner workings of the seemingly inscrutable political ways of America.
Sincerely,
Another Canuck
P.S. Now in Canada, things are different. Our elections period is so short, that between running for office and getting into office, nothing at all, contextually speaking and substantially, can possibly change, so that ‘broken promises’ actually prove our politicians to be born liars, which ends up creating an element of confusion for ‘us’ when we try to wrap our heads around American politics, since all that crude candidness tends to strike us on account of our experience as mendacious, which is an instance of what you might call ‘psychological projection,’ eh.
Thank you again for your time and for granting me this other moment for this postscript.
Sincerely apologetic,
Another Canuck (again) (and so sorry for going on and on)

There is another observation Tubularsock noticed. And Tubularsock calls it “extreme Canucks”.
Leslie seems to be a “TO THE POINT FEW WORDS CANUCK” and you Norman from the “LET’S TAKE THE LONG WENDING ROAD WAY WITH WORDS CANUCK”. Both enjoyable to Tubularsock unless he’s on the way to catch the bus.

Hold on everyone!! If we wait long enough, at the rate Trump is going, he may turn into Hilary Clinton before our very eyes. And the sight of Trump in a Hilary-like pants suit will cause Vladimir Putin to have a heart attack, Mitch McConnell to get an enema (because he looks like a constipated owl); and Paul Ryan to crack a smile. A Trump presidency may be better than we’d hoped.

Tubularsock, Is all this anything like “my opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right”? Script changes? No problem — maybe he’s a quick study, as his tutor would know. Ahha, is THAT what’s happening, are you proving to be a positive influence on the next fearsome leader of the … no, I can’t call it ‘the free world’ even in sarcasm … united states? I know your vast powers of persuasion and clarification, but I must say I thought this would be a tougher job, even for you.
Then again, everything the man has said, is saying now, and will ever say, could just be bullshit. I can’t decide yet. – Linda

Tube is in touch with his feminine side today!
Basically, I see it this way, if we are human, then whether male or female, we are not capable of having authority over others on a large scale. When given too much power over too many, men or women become insane despots. This is the real dirty little secret. So let’s try smaller groups of people, where the leaders will always be in a position to be held accountable, on a one on one basis, by every other individual in the collective.
So, in other words, and in a very, very “PI” way, with the statist religions we are all enslaved by today, it makes little to no difference whether the despots in charge have penises or breasts!
And Tube, don’t you go doing a number here! Behave your self! Even if they have both, it will not work, just in case you were going there!

Oh no, Tube! Quickly move away from this man, he belongs to a Darwinian sect that believes the elite are lizards, and that they brought our ancestors here to be “evolved” into apes and then human beings, so they could be enslaved.
