I have been saying here for quite a while that Trump’s true goal is the extermination of the Federal Government as it now operates and the replacement of it by rule of decree.
His decree.
I have not received much agreement here, nor have I seen much in the mass media. It’s all been mostly about the “politics” of pro-and/or anti-Trumpism. The good guys…be they Democratic or Republican…vs. the bad guys.
It’s worse than that.
It’s the bipartisan/uniparty bad guys vs. the Trumpist bad guys, God help us all.
It’s always good to hear someone making some sense out there.
Like editor Jeffery St.Clair in this weekend’s Counterpunch. (https:/www.counterpunch.org)
+ In the game of chicken being played on the shutdown, federal workers are going to be the roadkill, which will be a victory for the rightwing regardless of whether Trump gets money for a few miles of steel slats.
+ The average federal worker has already missed more than $5,000 in pay.
+ Trump and the GOP don’t care about the blame. The conservatives want to prove that many government agencies aren’t essential and that the others can be run by private contractors, as is now happening in many national parks. This is how the “administrative state” will be destroyed. The shutdown is wholesale deregulation in practice.
+ Trump, of course, has profited from making people work for free his entire career. (https:www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republi

Just sayin’…
Oppose Trump for the right reasons.
The most important reasons.
Please!!!
Later…
AG
P.S. By the way…
Succuri is so inconsistent in its actions (See the italics forced by it on and below the 1st URL above that it wouldn’t allow to be posted as a functioning link) that…if I were a conspiracy guy…I’d think that it had been planted by those damned Russkies in an attempt to neutralize this blog.
Or those damned NATO/U.S./Israeli spooks.
Or both.
Or the Oumuamua aliens. (You could look it up.)
Whomever.
But of course…I’m not…and the probable real truth of the matter is that it’s more likely to be just another badly coded/second-rate/idiot tech bro-produced symptom of the mediocrity that now infests most of this culture.
Including the whole federal bureaucracy.
So it goes…
Screens really do suck.
