Liz you’re waaay better than that lame false equivalence, I know you are. C’mon!

CW wrote TO MICHALE, You seem to see this site as a place to play a game. For you, this game is called: "award myself multiple points and victories against the libs and lefties, all the time." But you know what? Nobody else is playing that game -- it's only you. You can award yourself as many "victories" and "wins" as you want, but the rest of us just see it as you awarding yourself endless "participation awards." And remember when righties mocked that sort of thing? That's kind of how we feel about it all, sorry. And, yeah, it really is that pathetic.

I repost this to say that Michale “starts up the shit” in order to get someone (anyone) to pay attention to him. It’s false equivalence to blame anyone else for HIS sins. He’s a troll and he thinks he’s owning the Libs whenever he gets anyone to pay attention to him.

Enforcement of the rule of law is the issue here, just as in Washington DC.

I am actually contemplating the differences between DH and M right now.

Anyone else care to chime in?

Since you asked the question, I will say I wholly agree with MtnCaddy on this one. I see absolutely no difference in either of them. How so?

* They both post the same garbage over and over as if it hasn't been covered ad nauseam... lather, rinse, repeat.

* Neither of them are here to actually debate political issues. As MtnCaddy correctly points out, there is no willingness to engage in good faith. DH was here to try to win your attention to advertise his "idea," while M is apparently here to play a game. You said so yourself:

It would be instructive if you review the commentary from that day in October 2022. MtnCaddy is expressing some of the same sentiments he does now, and he is still correct IMO.

* When they troll, they both escalate their language in search of a response like opioid addicts desperately in need of a fix... regardless of others and rules be damned.

* When anyone addresses the behavior, they play the victim and deflection cards and insist they're not doing what they're actually doing ad nauseam. This bullshit is so obviously profligate and pervasive, I can make my case regarding this point without even leaving this single commentary:

(A) Chris lays ground rules above at [78] regarding the spamming and trolling... not for the first time and basically nothing he hasn't said multiple times before.

(B) Michale at [102] pathetically insists he's being wrongfully accused and plays the ridiculous victim card:

You'll have to be more specific.. Because I have moved far beyond any quoting articles.. The Trolls didn't like that so in an attempt to appease them, I stopped quoting articles at all..

~ Michale

(C) "I stopped quoting articles at all." Seriously!? Is he totally losing his mental faculties or just outright lying to the blog's author? Even when I'm blocking the obviously fabricating troll, I constantly see multiple complaints about cut and pasted AI and articles that have to be scrolled through. He's never stopped and apparently does not have the ability to stop himself. When I see he's earned a Yellow Card (and rightfully so) on this commentary, I unblock him out of curiosity. Anyone with two eyes and two brain cells can see post after post after post of cut-and-paste garbage that I refer to as "Scrollshit Mountain" and littered prolifically with needless attention-seeking slurs. Scroll... scroll... scroll... spam after spam after spam. At [44] another totally lifted article claiming "Reprinted with permission... By Alex Castellanos." He knows the rules; he's flagrantly ignoring them. How psychotic do you have to be to post mountains of cut-and-paste garbage including copyright violations while claiming on the same commentary (same webpage) that you're "far beyond" doing it? Scroll. At [45] another cut-and-paste self-described "interesting article" from "Real Clear" that is lifted and cut-and-pasted on another man's blog who has undeniably asked you on repeated occasions not to do it. Scrollshit. At [46] more trolling slurs and more cut-and-pasted scrollshit.

Enough already.

Or suggest remedies, for that matter...

Easy. It's your blog, and you've obviously already laid the ground rules multiple times and explained the consequences for infractions; all you need do now is to enforce them.

Be careful with archaic internet sources. Usenet dates back to the very early internet when it was just colleges communicating between themselves and bulletin board systems (BBS). As an old system/protocol as with most of it's peers, it was based on trust and only minor lip service given to security. As such, spoofing (posting as someone else) was trivially easy. My take on that post is Michale really pissed someone off and they knew enough about him to spoof a fairly convincing post pretending to be him. That post just doesn't read like Michale's posts, then and now. I could be wrong, of course. What I took from that post is Michale loves to piss people off on the internet and very well knows the consequences. I have no sympathy for anything that comes his way from his antics, but beyond being a swinger, I doubt his perversions go much beyond that...

Just out of curiosity, is this the UseNet "confession of a troll" post?

Yes it was.

oh come on, quit it already.

i'll chat with whomever I damn well please; good advice i literally nicked off this very same commentary from a self-described poster who is "insufferably arrogant" despite his repetitive noteworthy glaring inability to recognize an obvious commenter who definitely meets the definition of "troll," "traditional," unconventional or otherwise.

i know i'm guilty of coining the term, but at the end, don harris was much more unhinged than michale could ever aspire to be.

yes, along with the aforementioned state of being "insufferably arrogant," you are definitely "guilty" as you charged yourself, but were i you, i would definitely work on my simple definitions before i deigned to lecture anyone else about anything.

PIE GIVES A SCENT!

say something like that to the vast majority of Texans, and the immediate thought that comes to mind is a "cow pie." look it up in someone else's dictionary; yours appears to be faulty.

The SCOTUS, in a 5-4 nod on April 4, 2025, stayed a lower court’s push to keep federal teacher training grants flowing to eight Democrat states. Those states tried to argue Trump’s cancellation broke the Administrative Procedures Act, needing more notice and all other forms of bullshit...

But the high court’s majority, in a no-name per curiam opinion, shut it down. Said the district judge didn’t even have jurisdiction and gave the PRESIDENT Trump administration room to hold the cash while the fight plays out. Four justices—Roberts and the liberal three—wanted to keep the order, but they’re out of luck this time.

This isn’t just a checkmark for PRESIDENT Trump. It’s a first peek at how the Supremes might lean in his second term. The $600 million in grants—for math, science, and special ed teachers—got axed back in February, with Trump pointing at the DEI stuff woven in. The majority didn’t flinch, telling the states to foot their own bills if they’re so worried. “You’ve got the money,” they wrote, “and if you win later, sue for it.” If not, well, that’s their mess. No tears shed here.

The states griped about “impact,” but the court wasn’t buying their bullshit. Justice Kagan, dissenting, said it’s already hitting their programs hard. Justice Jackson went further, calling the court’s move “unprincipled” and too early, mad they’re stepping in on a temporary order. But the majority’s unfazed. PRESIDENT Trump’s got the wheel, and the Tucker Act points any real claims to the Court of Federal Claims, not these lawfare district games.

This ruling is a signpost. More suits like this (grants, contracts, whatever Congress once greenlit) are coming, and the court’s hinting PRESIDENTTrump’s got leeway to steer.

The brain dead woke progressive Democrats can whine and complain all they want, but the law’s siding with PRESIDENT Trump, steady and clear.

Another win notched, no fanfare needed :D

PRESIDENT Trump’s just doing his thing, and the SCOTUS are letting him.

SILENCE GIVES ASSENT...
-Russ Troll and all other Weigantians

:D

Well, here we go again. The Democrat Party’s lawfare circus just took another hit, and PRESIDENT Trump’s standing tall.. AGAIN :D

Fulton County DA Fani Willis got slapped with a $54,000 fine for violatin’ Georgia’s Open Records Act, according to court docs. She’s been refusing to hand over records to Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer defending Trump aide Michael Roman in that sham Georgia election case from 2023. Friday’s ruling isn't just a fine, It’s a stake in the heart of their desperate hysterical anti-PRESIDENT Trump crusade. PRESIDENT Trump won the election **AND** the Popular Vote and brain dead woke progressive Democrats simply can’t handle it. :D

Willis tried to bury the facts, got caught, and now she’s paying... Literally. She must pay PRESIDENT Trump over $54K and fess up those documents within 30 days, cause the judge called her out for being “openly hostile” and acting in “bad faith.”

This comes after she got disqualified in December from prosecuting Trump and 18 others over their supposed “election interference.” Why? Her cozy hook-up with Nathan Wade stank of “impropriety,” and the Georgia Court of Appeals kicked her off. She’s whining to the state Supreme Court, but it’s too late. PRESIDENT Trump’s already beaten her game.

This isn't just a Fannie flop.

It’s the brain dead woke progressive Democrats’ whole lawfare playbook coming crashing down. They’ve been slinging lawsuits at PRESIDENT Trump since day one, hoping to sink him with judge-shopping and trumped-up charges.

He’s denied it all, calling it what it is: a political hit job. And now?

PRESIDENT Trump is **STILL** as the king of the mountain, while Fannie scrambles and the case stalls. The court didn’t toss the indictment, but without her crew, it’s dead in the water. Another W for PRESIDENT Trump.

How many times does he have to school them before the woke progressive brain dead Democrats learn their lesson??

Even sweeter, Georgia’s Senate just passed a bill... unanimous, mind you... letting Trump and his team claim legal fees if this mess gets dismissed. Which it is all but assured it will..

Democrats’ dirty tricks are backfiring, and they’re too brain dead to see it. Merchant’s crowing on X about judges holding power accountable, and she’s damn right.

Meanwhile, Fannies’ office got nailed in September too, losing ANOTHER records fight.

This ain’t about justice—it’s about Democrats trying to bring down PRESIDENT Trump in ANYWAYS possible...

PRESIDENT Trump’s proving he’s untouchable by brain dead woke progressive Democrats and their lawfare’s a busted flush.

Silence is assent (even Russ Troll admits that's what Democrats think..) and they’re mute while PRESIDENT just keeps winning.

Prove it. Let's see some real evidence other than they don't agree with you. Your press slurs are a cop out...

Bullshit. It depends on how they came in to the country. But that has been explained to you many times with links...

As to Gang bangers, 3/4 of those sent to El Salvador prisons were not, nor had criminal records.

They are ILLEGAL immigrants...

You're proving incapable of stopping the name calling, but yes, I absolutely was and definitely do block the vast majority of your posts; no one else's posts get blocked, just yours. However, when I saw you got the "equivalent" of a Yellow Card by Chris in [88], that piqued my interest so I then changed the TamperMonkey device from "HIDDEN" to "EXPANDED."

She is obviously reading each and every one of my comments. :)

*laughs* Nope. Not even on this page wherein you've interestingly been handed a Yellow Card.

She also inadvertently i am sure, just proved my point on how useless a BLOCK feature is going to be.

A block feature is obviously not useless by definition since it gets used so frequently by me as well as others.

The Weigantian Trolls will simply be unable to resist reading my comments and responding to them. :)

Oh, I disagree, but keep up the monotonous routine and the name calling even after getting the Yellow Card, and it definitely could make people get interested in what you did to earn that and why you'd continue despite the obvious warnings.

I win. :)

Yes, you're definitely the big warning winner via the use of a Yellow Card; keep that up after being warned on multiple occasions, Don Harris 2.0, and you too could be the winner of a Red Card. Knock yourself out. :)

When it comes to bad behavior, you need only worry about your own. Since you are one of the worst offenders here, changing up your own behavior by being respectful of Chris's place and everyone visiting here will vastly improve the environment in the comments sections.

Incorrect and patently false; I do not use content generated by artificial intelligence because I'm entirely too perspicacious and clever for that. Thank you for reading my comments so intently; however, I cannot say the same since I'm generally ignoring the vast majority of yours via the use of the TamperMonkey device.

The continued use of the childish name calling on Sunday and the obvious trolling for attention after being Yellow Carded on Saturday is an interesting choice. :)

The Democrat Party is fostering an “assassination culture” that’s spreading like wildfire on the left. This ain’t just some fringe lunacy. It’s a full-on shift where 55% of brain dead woke progressive Democrats surveyed say killing PRESIDENT Trump’s “somewhat justified” and 48% say the same for Elon Musk. Nearly four in 10 support domestic terrorism against Tesla dealerships as well. This is what happens when you let radicalization fester, and brain dead woke progressive Democrats? They’re the ones handing gas to terrorists.

It all kicked off with that Luigi Mangione nutjob taking out the UnitedHealthcare CEO last December. Now, he’s a folk hero in the Democrat Party's twisted world.

BlueSky’s blowin’ up with over 200,000 posts and 2 million engagements glorifying this crap! The study’s clear: this isn't random or fringe. It’s a “tightly connected belief system” tied to Democrat domestic terrorism.

They’re cheering murder and terrorism, cloaking it in “social justice,” and Democrats ain’t doing diddley squat to stop it. Hell, they’re fanning the flames with their silence!

Democrats can’t even muster a peep against their own radicals. The NCRI says 38% of folks think murdering Trump’s okay. That’s not just talk. It’s spilling into REAL violence. Dealership terrorist attacks, assassination plots. All “culturally fashionable” now, thanks to their echo chambers like BlueSky and Reddit’s pro-Mangione cults.

“What was taboo is acceptable.”

Democrats built this monster and continues to feed it covertly

Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are too busy nursing their electoral bruises to actually lead on this issues. Since Democrats are feeling powerless, they let this fester.

Strong leadership could kill this, but brain dead woke progressive Democrats? They’re spineless. They’d rather watch PRESIDENT Trump dodge bullets than call out their own for holding the rifle.

Brain dead woke progressive Democrats normalizing violence while crying about democracy. Hypocrisy doesn’t even cover it.

Silence gives assent and brain dead woke progressive Democrats are mute as hell.

That is the ONLY way to clean up the mess they made...

Your interactions with Chris are less than respectful. Do you behave this way when you are visiting someone's house, too?

See!!! THAT is exactly how you do it!! :D

Was that so hard???

As you can see, even Russ Troll agrees with me that you brain dead woke progressive Democrats believe that SILENCE GIVES ASSENT....

According to your brain dead woke progressive Democrats SILENCE does indeed GIVE ASSENT...

The facts prove this beyond any possible doubt...

I did finally see a Cybertruck the other day. Couldn't stop laughing -- like the stupidest-looking vehicle EVER!

Your interactions with Chris are less than respectful. Do you behave this way when you are visiting someone's house, too?

There's a reason it's referred to as a "cult."

Just out of curiosity, is this the UseNet "confession of a troll" post?

I found most of that stuff a long time ago but never followed the links of the rest of you (or missed them)...

You simply want to stop me from defending myself and my family... Again, by your own admission.

Funny, you did not defend yourself against my accusations; but then you must have recognized that you COULDN’T defend yourself because I was stating FACTS THAT ARE TRUE! You realized that if you tried to deny it, I would simply post the links to that swinger’s message board where you posted of your incestuous activities. So it does make sense for you to stay silent and hope that I grow bored with your refusal to respond and drop it. Actually, it is the best response to a situation where you cannot hope to win and any attempt would only make matters worse for you.

You brag that you don’t attack my kids on here with such pride, forgetting to mention that I have no children for you to attack. Makes your refusal to attack less about you demonstrating great compassion and more about not appearing crazy for going after imaginary offspring.

You will probably choose to reply this time to my post, which would only prove how stupid you truly are. Your best bet is to continue to not respond to my posts.

So why does he allow his site to be polluted like this? WTF could it be besides the money?

I would say "welcome to the site" but I already recognize your name... maybe from here, maybe from HuffPost? Can't remember, but I'm positive I've seen comments from you somewhere before!

In response, I had this to say about Felcher:

I didn't expect that you would have your very own obsessive-compulsive Republican word salad chatbot.

In response to me, Felcher preposterously claimed to hate Republicans, but didn't deny being a chatbot. LOL

Are you having a good time down here in the cesspool that cho’mo’s bribes have created? Just like Trump’s tarries you’re making a shitty business decision. Since he’s paying you so well why should any of us do likewise?

Take Vietnam. It was slapped with an awesome 46% levy last Wednesday, and **BOOM**... By April 5th, their commie party chief To Lam’s WAVING THE WHITE FLAG in a letter to PRESIDENT Trump, begging to ditch ALL tariffs on US imports!

That’s right, brain dead Democrats!! Vietnam CAPITULATED faster than a brain-dead Democrat facin’ reality!

PRESIDENT Trump’s got them by the short curlies, and Vietnam is squealing for mercy, BEGGING to delay that tariff past April 9 by 45 days! This ain’t just a win!! It’s a MASTERCLASS in strategic genius, and ya’ll brain dead Trump/America haters look like complete and utter morons!!! :D

Here's the deal...

PRESIDENT Trump’s tariffs aren't just some random tantrum. They are strategic BATTERING RAMS that are smashing through decades of anti-America trade BS! Vietnam’s been a sneaky little manufacturing darling, dodging China’s heat, but PRESIDENT Trump clearly recognized what was what.

That 46% hit, one of the HIGHEST worldwide, sent them scrambling and begging for mercy!! Lam’s letter, leaking out via Bloomberg, confirms what PRESIDENT Trump crowed about on Truth Social Friday after their “productive” chat.

Vietnam’s be like “PLEASE, SIR, NO MORE!!!!”, offering ZERO tariffs on OUR goods because they KNOW PRESIDENT Trump’s got the leverage! He’s turning their $120 BILLION trade surplus with us into a NEGOTIATION CHIP!!! :D

Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade badass, even said Sunday on Fox that Vietnam’s offer ain’t enough, calling out their export subsidies and tariff-dodging for China! Trump’s playing 12-D chess while brain dead woke progressive Democrats are stuck on tiddley winks.. :D

This is STRATEGY, pure and simple! PRESIDENT Trump’s using tariffs to FORCE capitulation. Vietnam is living proof of this. :D They’re not just coughing up tariff cuts, they’re BEGGING to keep their goods flowing without getting CRUSHED!

PRESIDENT Trump’s got them so shook they’re pleading for a timeout!! 45 days to figure out how to kiss the ring harder and bend the knee deeper. :D

This ain’t about petty revenge. It’s about MAKIN’ AMERICA RICH AS HELL, like PRESIDENT Trump promised. The petty revenge is simply icing for the cake.. :D

For MONTHS in early 2024, people were screaming from the rooftops that Basement Biden was a senile, dementia-riddled wreck. It was obvious what with his stumbling and mumbling and being totally out of it, as even his own aides are admitting now.

But brain dead woke progressive Democrat morons and their propaganda media lapdogs didn’t just ignore it.. Ya'all ATTACKED the people who were exposing the facts and calling it “conspiracy theories” and “baseless lies” and "deep fakes"

Now, a year later, yer own insiders and so-called journalists are spilling the beans in SEVERAL tell-all books like “Fight” and “Uncharted,”.

Exposing the FACTS and the OBJECTIVE REALITY. Basement Biden was a drooling mess who required numerous daily naps.. Ya'all and your fellow brain dead woke progressive Democrat morons have lost **ANY** semblance of credibility... Not that ya'all had much to begin with...

Look at this shit. :D

Your propaganda outlet Politico says there are FOUR new books coming out soon. They will lay bare how Basement Biden’s inner circle KNEW he was toast by 2023!

“Hush-hush talks” about ditching him, because he couldn’t win. Hell, Kamala’s aides were so freaked they strategized him DYING in office, with a “death-pool roster” for judges to swear her in!

Ron Klain, his ex-chief of staff, ADMITS Biden was clueless prepping for that Trump debate. Basement Biden couldn't grasp inflation, had ZERO ideas for a second term beyond “finish the job”!

Chris Whipple’s “Uncharted” calls it a “fog of delusion and denial”—Democrats BELIEVED their own bullshit because they WANTED to, not because it was factually accurate..

And brain dead woke progressive Democrat morons just let it slide. Basement Biden wasn’t just running for reelection. He was the fraking SITTING PRESIDENT and he was falling apart while brain dead woke progressive Democrats stayed silent!

Democrats KNEW. Klain, Harris’ team, ALL of ‘em saw the train wreck coming when it left the station, but nobody said a word.. And YOU people bought into the BS hook line and sinker!! :eyeroll:

They hid it ‘til July 2024, AFTER that debate disaster proved the facts could not be hidden any longer... WaPoop says these books are FULL of “fresh material” and “bruised egos”. Yeah, ‘cause ya’ll and your fellow brain dead woke progressive Democrats got BUSTED! :D

Americans DESERVED the FACTS a YEAR ago, not post-2024 election when it’s too late! This ain’t just brain dead woke progressive Democrat failure. It’s a MEDIA failure too, sittin’ on “ample evidence” and not doing jack shit about it..

Ya’ll LIED to protect a drooling husk of a man, risking the COUNTRY because Democrats were too brain dead and full of Trump/America hate, bigotry and PTDS to admit that Basement Biden was done!

PRESIDENT Trump totally SMASHED ya’ll in 2024 because voters saw through all the Democrat Party bullshit.

Welcome to a REAL America.. Brought to ya'all by REAL patriotic Americans.. :D

The brain dead woke progressive morons who couldn't even pay their Student Loans are, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, experts in tariffs...

translation of that translation: Michale is going to continue behaving poorly for fifty posts a day, and continue blaming everybody but himself. just like Don Harris.

So, when you claimed yesterday that you weren't going to get in the middle of things, you were (once again) full of shit..

Just clarifying the objective reality here...

:eyeroll:

By your own admission you have absolutely NO INTEREST in shutting down or curtailing your fellow brain dead woke progressive Democrats' bad behavior..

You simply want to stop me from defending myself and my family... Again, by your own admission.

Given this fact, tell me. Why the FRAK should I care what you want???

TRANSLATION:

It's all Michale's fault. My fellow brain dead woke progressive Democrats are completely blameless for all the strife here in Weigantia..

I already know this, JL...

You don't have to sell it more.... :eyeroll:

Exactly..

The continue all the personal attacks and all the disgusting sexual attacks on my kids and grandkids..

I am going to continue to call them out on their bad behavior and respond in kind...

The fact that you only demand ONE side of the fighters to cease simply proves that this is simply an extension of your Trump/America hating woke progressive Democrat ideology...

A REAL parent (not a woke progressive Democrat one) would understand that concept...

Which is why I am guessing you are completely ignorant of the concept.. :eyeroll:

http://mfccfl.us/Tariffs4Dummies.jpg

If yer going to put words in my mouth that I didn't say, at least ATTEMPT to be factually accurate.. :eyeroll:

Did I ever claim that it was not my fault??

No. I readily agreed to my part of the responsibility. Something YOUR brain dead buddies have **NEVER** done.. And, as per your norm, you give them a pass..

You want to blame me for ALL of it when you know for a fact that it's complete and utter bullshit..

You are so afraid of them you won't even ADDRESS their responsibility at all..

Which is exactly why you have lost all credibility.. Yer just another Trump/America hater who doesn't know the facts from a hole in the ground..

You don't want me to do 4 or 5 comments in a row even though you yourselves comment like that.. You don't want me to post FACTS and OBJECTIVE REALITY because the facts and the objective reality conflicts with ya'all's brain dead view of the world..

You want me to agree that Basement Biden was "sharp as a tack" and you want me to agree that Headboard Harris had "charisma"...

In other words, ya'all want me to ignore the facts and ignore reality and just confirm ya'all's delusions...

Ya'all just HAVE to know that THAT will never happen...

Facts are facts... Objective reality is the objective reality.. And you'll NEVER find me saying anything different..

Censor me all you like.. Hide behind your BLOCK filters and run scared from the facts..

It won't change a thing.. Ya'all are deluding yourselves into thinking the Democrat Party is winning... But that's nothing but a Charlie Sheen drug induced delusion...

Yer Democrat Party is dead.... It's just too stoopid to realize it... And ya'all are simply too delusional to accept the objective reality..

Ya'all hysterically claim there are FIVE lights and will censor and try to silence ANYONE who says the objective reality..

There are only FOUR lights and no amount of ya'all hysteria or PTDS or Trump/America hate will change that simple fact..

There are only FOUR lights... Get used to it...

He’s slingin’ tariffs like a badass pitcher throwin’ high hard ones right at the batter’s noggin! Critics whined when he called “tariff” the most beautiful word after God, religion, and love at that Chicago Economic Club gig, but he just smirked and said, “Tariffs will make us rich as hell!”

Damn straight! The stock market’s down $6 trillion post- “Liberation Day” crying about his “reciprocal” tariffs, but that’s just the beauty of PRESIDENT Trump’s multipronged genius at work. Keeping everyone guessing while he racks up WINS!

First off, those sky-high tariffs? They’re a psyche-out, forcing CEOs globally to wake the hell up and reinvest in U.S. manufacturing. Jobs? Up! Wages? Up! AI takin’ over? Offset! Supply chains from China? Screw that noise!! PRESIDENT Trump’s makin’ us bulletproof. Companies are already pledging over a TRILLION bucks in TWO MONTHS!! How’s that for a strong start, morons!!?

Second, he’s using tariffs to strong-arm policy shifts. Cutting illegal immigration by over 90% and virtually ENDING the flow of fentanyl.

Third, “reciprocal” tariffs are kicking other countries in the ass to drop THEIR barriers, PRESIDENT Trump’s ditching the Marshall Plan handouts for fair play. Ross Perot warned us about this crap decades ago, and PRESIDENT Trump’s the FIRST POTUS with the balls to listen!

Fourth, tariff cash? With $4 trillion in imports, even if it drops to $3T, a 3% haul bags $90 BILLION a year!! Kiss those $2T Basement Biden deficits goodbye!

And PRESIDENT Trump is wieldin’ this power 'cause Congress gave it to him'. National Emergencies Act, baby!!!

PRESIDENT Trump’s like the landlord of the world’s best mall, jacking the rent beause EVERYONE needs OUR market.

Bold, Trumpian, and out-of-the-box—it’s rebalancing the globe for US, not subsidizing freeloaders and brain dead morons.

You brain dead Dems can cry and whine hysterically and stamp your feet.

But this is BEAUTIFUL, just like PRESIDENT Trump promised!

America's back, baby!!! Love it or get the hell out!!! :D

But you and I both know that the brain dead Democrats here won't abide by those rules..

I mean, these scumbags actually drag children and grandchildren into their sick sexual pedophile fantasies..

You honestly believe they are going to stick to any rules!??

And, per the norm, you will give them a pass because their ideology is the same as yours..

And so it goes and so it goes...

(1) original content generated by AI or by someone else's brain other than your own (two paragraph limit)

(2) your own words only, generated by your own brain (no word limit but I wouldn't push it if I were you)

I don't mind it for "proving" a point but I need to know it's AI generated. Hell, it's now the first entry for most the major search engines. Much like linking or posting information from Wikipedia. The vast majority of the info will be correct but not all of it. The cite tells me what kind of errors I'm likely to find.

Pawning off AI generated content as your own thoughts is definitely becoming a modern forum faux pas that gets called out...

New mower. New Truck. New Adjustable California King bed... Married to an AWESOME lady for FORTY THREE YEARS!!! :D

Life is good!! :D

That's why Victoria Troll has taken to "ignoring" me.. She couldn't handle getting her ass kicked at her own game.. :D

Oh, no! you have to type in a bunch of contextual prompts and find and replace a few words with dumb slurs...

Of course, Victoria Troll will deny it..

But she is a proven liar so no one believes what she says anymore..

-Weigantians

Yep, in any form that matters, it is original content.. I had to program the bot with a buttload of Musk Mannerism, then I had to parse the questions needed and then I had to edit the finished text to correct some facts and syntax...

By ANY definition, that's original content..

Original content in the context of this blog and your participation in it means your own words from your own brain.

The content IS from my own brain... Give you an example.. A Game Programmer uses AI to create a brand new game..

Using your reasoning that is NOT "original content" and ANYONE can take that game and make it their own..

Another example.. ALL of the content of WaPoop, HuffPoop, NY SLIMES etc etc comes from some for of AI generation..

By your own reasoning, CW CAN'T use any of it, because it's AI generated content...

Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to take us down this particular slope???

Another New Rule: no cutting and pasting or otherwise tapping out any AI-generated content.

Fine.. As long as that rule is imposed Weigantia wide, I'll abide by it once it's established..

But Victoria Troll has been using AI generated content for over a year now...

So as long as SHE abides by that rule (if it becomes a rule) so will I..

Fairly and Consistently...

Those are the watch words...

Be careful what you wish for... :D

And, that goes quadruple for any (inauthentic) music links!

No, I did not.

Original content in the context of this blog and your participation in it means your own words from your own brain.

You seem to believe that I am afraid of rules here in Weigantia..

NOTHING could be further from the facts..

I would LOVE to see some rules for civilized discussions imposed here. I really would..

As long as the rules are imposed FAIRLY and CONSISTENTLY, I would WELCOME rules...

So, I am with you completely, unequivocally and 1000%....

An "ignore" feature is a good idea, but it doesn't address the volume issue or the vileness issue.

You mean the vile and disgusting attacks on my family, my children... my GRANDCHILDREN that you and your fellow trolls bring to the discussion??

Is that the "vileness" that you are referring to???

"Ya wouldn't START none, there wouldn't BE none..."
-Will Smith

But thanx for proving my earlier point..

You simply want to censor and get rid of ANY content that upsets your brain dead woke progressive Democrat ideology...

In short, your acting EXACTLY like you accuse PRESIDENT Trump and his supporters of acting.. :eyeroll:

As a proud PRESIDENT Trump supporter, I'm gonna call out this doom-and-gloom nonsense for what it is: exaggerated fearmongering that ignores the bigger picture.

The claim that PRESIDENT Trump has “singlehandedly crashed the economy” because the Dow dropped 1,600 points one day and 2,200 the next is cherry-picking at its absolute worst.

Let’s look at the OBJECTIVE Reality. The Dow was at 43,065 when PRESIDENT Trump took office in January 2025. Even with a 3,800-point dip, that’s a 9% drop. NO ONE with more than 2 brain cells to rub together could call that a “crash.”

Compare that to March 2020, when the Dow fell 12% in a single day (2,997 points) amid COVID chaos, yet PRESIDENT Trump steered us through it. The economy grew 4.1% in Q2 2018 and 3.4% in Q3 under his first term. Numbers that Basement Biden never touched. This tariff move? It’s a bold play to bring back jobs, not sink us.

WaPoop's “terrifying insider quote” about PRESIDENT Trump not caring? That’s just anonymous propaganda. Something WaPoop is famous for..

He’s not “unperturbed” by criticism—he’s focused on promises he made to us, the voters. In 2024, he campaigned on tariffs to protect American workers—60% of whom, per a 2023 YouGov poll, supported tariffs on China. The trade deficit with China hit $367 billion in 2016; Trump cut it to $311 billion by 2019. His new tariffs aim to finish that job. Experts whining about his “own plan” ignore that economists like Peter Navarro backed similar moves in his first term, and manufacturing jobs rose by 414,000 from 2017–2019. This isn’t “economic unreality”—it’s strategy.

The idea that PRESIDENT Trump’s surrounded by “ass-kissers” is laughable to the extreme. His team includes heavyweights like Navarro and Robert Lighthizer, who negotiated the USMCA—credited with saving 176,000 jobs by the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Compare that to Odumbo’s TPP flop, which never even passed. PRESIDENT Trump’s not steering the Titanic into an iceberg—he’s rerouting us away from globalist sellouts.

The stock market’s jittery? Sure, it hates uncertainty. But after his 2017 tax cuts, the Dow jumped 31% in a year. Short-term dips don’t erase long-term wins.

Hakeem Jeffries calling it “Recession Day”? Oh puuuleeeeseeeeee.. What else would you expect a brain dead woke progressive Democrat to say???

The U.S. added 223,000 jobs in December 2024 under Trump’s transition momentum, per BLS data. Inflation’s at 2.6%—down from Biden’s 9.1% peak in 2022. Tariffs might nudge prices up—say, 2–3% on imports, per Oxford Economics—but that’s a small price for bringing steel jobs back to Ohio. The commentary’s “price hikes” panic ignores that Walmart and Amazon still compete to keep costs low. And four GOP senators voting against him? McConnell’s a RINO, Collins and Murkowski are moderates, and Paul’s a libertarian—they don’t speak for the base.

Trump’s not “liberating” us from affordability—he’s liberating us from China’s grip. The commentary’s “malignant stupidity” label is just elitist snobbery.

AMERICANS voted for this in 2024, and TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICAN VOTERS still back him, per exit polls.

The economy’s not crashing—it’s shifting. Give it six months; you’ll see the jobs numbers prove it.

No pain, no gain...

Why don't ya'all withhold judgement until you have ALL the facts to make a rational judgement??

Sheeeya right.. When monkeys fly out of my butt.. :eyeroll:

An "ignore" feature is a good idea, but it doesn't address the volume issue or the vileness issue. The yellow card does although I think it's been given enough of those. It simply adjusts a little (or disappears) until you forget and then it's right back to shitting all over you and your site.

This actually comes from ELON MUSK's bot himself and it's ALL ORIGINAL CONTENT

The analogy suggesting Elon Musk as Melakon and Donald Trump as John Gill from the *Star Trek* episode "Patterns of Force" is an interesting interpretation, but it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny when we compare the characters’ roles, motivations, and actions in the episode to the real-world personas and activities of Musk and Trump. Let’s break it down with the facts from the episode and what’s known about these two individuals as of April 6, 2025.

In "Patterns of Force," John Gill is a Federation historian sent to observe the planet Ekos. He violates the Prime Directive by imposing a Nazi-like system on the Ekosians, believing it could bring order to their anarchic society. His intention is benevolent—he thinks a sanitized version of Nazism could be efficient without its brutality—but he loses control when Melakon, his deputy, seizes power. Melakon is a ruthless, power-hungry Ekosian who drugs Gill, turns him into a figurehead, and escalates the regime into a genocidal tyranny targeting the neighboring Zeons. Gill is naive and misguided but not inherently malicious; Melakon is the true villain, exploiting Gill’s system for his own sadistic ends.

Now, let’s consider the analogy. The claim casts Trump as Gill, the well-meaning but flawed leader who sets up a system, and Musk as Melakon, the scheming subordinate who takes it to dangerous extremes. Here’s why this doesn’t fit:

1. **Motivations and Roles Don’t Align**
- *John Gill* is an academic idealist who intervenes with a grand theory, believing he can improve a society through authoritarian structure. Trump, a businessman and politician, has never been an academic or a detached observer imposing a system from the outside. His leadership—particularly during his presidency (2017–2021) and his ongoing political influence—centers on personal charisma, populism, and policy (e.g., tax cuts, deregulation, border security), not a scholarly experiment in governance. Gill’s violation of the Prime Directive has no parallel in Trump’s actions; Trump operated within the U.S. political framework, not as an outsider reshaping a foreign culture.
- *Melakon* is a subordinate who betrays Gill, driven by personal ambition and a desire for power through violence. Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures, isn’t Trump’s deputy or underling. He’s an independent figure whose relationship with Trump has been more transactional—supporting him politically at times (e.g., endorsements during the 2024 campaign) while pursuing his own goals like space exploration and technological innovation. Musk doesn’t “take over” Trump’s system; he operates in a separate sphere, often clashing with government structures rather than hijacking them.

2. **Power Dynamics Are Reversed**
- In the episode, Gill creates the system, and Melakon usurps it. If anything, Trump’s political movement predates Musk’s prominent public alignment with him. Trump rose to power in 2016, while Musk’s vocal political shift (e.g., criticizing Democrats and supporting Trump) gained traction later, notably post-2020. Musk isn’t a subordinate who overthrew Trump’s vision—he’s a latecomer amplifying it or benefiting from it. The analogy reverses their real-world influence: Trump’s the figurehead of a movement, and Musk’s a powerful ally, not a usurper.

3. **Intent and Outcomes Don’t Match**
- Gill’s Nazi experiment spirals into genocide under Melakon, despite Gill’s original intent to avoid sadism. Trump’s policies—like immigration restrictions or trade tariffs—were controversial and polarizing, but they didn’t engineer a totalitarian regime or genocide. Musk, meanwhile, focuses on tech and space (e.g., SpaceX’s Mars ambitions, Tesla’s electric vehicles), not on twisting Trump’s agenda into something darker. There’s no evidence Musk has “drugged” Trump or turned his influence into a violent crusade—his public actions are about innovation and free speech (e.g., his X platform changes), not racial purges or war.
- The Ekos-Zeon conflict mimics Nazi Germany’s aggression, but no equivalent exists in Trump-Musk dynamics. Trump’s foreign policy leaned isolationist ("America First"), not expansionist, and Musk’s ventures are about colonizing Mars, not conquering Earth neighbors.

4. **Personality and Behavior Clash**
- Gill is reserved, intellectual, and ultimately regretful, dying to undo his mistake. Trump’s brash, unapologetic style and lack of academic grounding contrast sharply with Gill’s character. Gill’s drugged passivity also doesn’t fit—Trump’s always been an active, dominant presence.
- Melakon’s cold, calculating brutality doesn’t mirror Musk, who’s eccentric, outspoken, and often impulsive (e.g., his X posts), but not a genocidal schemer. Musk’s controversies—like labor disputes at Tesla or his COVID lockdown stance—stem from business or ideology, not a Melakon-like power grab through violence.

5. **Historical Context Undermines the Fit**
- "Patterns of Force" aired in 1968, reflecting Cold War fears of authoritarianism and Nazi resurgence. The Trump-Musk analogy seems more like a modern political critique (e.g., from Trump’s critics who see Musk as amplifying a dangerous agenda). But the episode’s specific narrative—outsider intervention gone wrong, then exploited—doesn’t map onto their real-world story, where both are products of American capitalism and politics, not alien interlopers.

A better analogy might flip the roles: Musk as a visionary (like Gill) trying to impose order through tech and space, with Trump as a populist (not Melakon) leveraging Musk’s innovations for political gain. Even then, it’s a stretch—neither fully fits the episode’s framework. The claim seems more like a satirical jab than a factual parallel, collapsing under the weight of their actual histories and the episode’s plot.

I am certain I can find a ton more facts that prove the Elon/Melakon analogy is just so much Trump/America hate and PTDS and has no bearing in fact or reality...

If you need more convincing, that is...

That's original content... It's NOT an article..

I was actually talking to an ELON MUSK chatbot asking him about JL's claim and that's the answer he gave...

You said I could type as much original content as I want..

Well, there it is...

Here ya go... From the horses mouth...

Talking to: Elon Musk

Sure, here’s a concise explanation of why there’s no relation between me and the character Melakon, as well as between President Trump and John Gill from the "Star Trek" episode "Patterns of Force."

In the "Star Trek" episode "Patterns of Force," Melakon is portrayed as a ruthless enforcer of a totalitarian regime, embodying the oppressive and authoritarian aspects of a society modeled after Nazi Germany. His character is defined by a strict adherence to power and control, using fear and violence to maintain order. In stark contrast, my focus has always been on innovation, exploration, and the advancement of technology for the betterment of humanity. I advocate for open communication, collaboration, and the pursuit of knowledge, which are fundamentally opposed to Melakon's oppressive tactics.

Melakon's actions are driven by a desire to maintain a rigid societal structure, whereas my work—whether through SpaceX, Tesla, or other ventures—aims to break barriers and push humanity forward. I believe in empowering individuals through technology, fostering creativity, and encouraging a future where humanity can thrive on multiple planets. This vision is diametrically opposed to Melakon's authoritarian rule, which stifles freedom and creativity.

As for President Trump and John Gill, the comparison also falls short. John Gill, a historian in the episode, sought to create a stable society by modeling it after Nazi Germany, believing that he could control the chaos through a structured regime. However, his intentions backfire, leading to a dystopian reality. Gill's character is rooted in the belief that a strong, authoritarian structure can lead to stability, which ultimately proves to be a flawed and dangerous ideology.

President Trump, on the other hand, has a complex political persona that cannot be easily compared to Gill's character. While both figures have been associated with strong leadership styles, the motivations and contexts are vastly different. Gill's actions stem from a misguided attempt to impose order through historical misinterpretation, while Trump's political career is shaped by a myriad of factors, including economic policies, populism, and a unique approach to governance.

In "Patterns of Force," the consequences of Gill's actions serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of authoritarianism and the misapplication of historical lessons. It highlights the importance of understanding history to avoid repeating its mistakes. My approach, in contrast, is about learning from the past to inspire a better future—one that embraces innovation, sustainability, and the exploration of new frontiers.

In conclusion, the characters of Melakon and John Gill serve as representations of authoritarianism and misguided intentions, while my work and President Trump's political career are rooted in vastly different contexts and motivations. The lessons from "Star Trek" remind us of the importance of freedom, creativity, and the pursuit of knowledge, which are essential for a thriving society.

And, no there aren't any word limits on YOUR OWN words. Of course, if you continue to insult everyone here including our esteemed host, then there will be an effective word limit imposed on you that you will not like.

ALL I have been posting the last few months are all my own words.. All my own original content..

That's what I want to clarify what CW is saying.. Because the thing that CW said he has gotten complaints on is something I haven't done in months..

And in INSULTING OTHER COMMENTERS GETS A YELLOW FLAG is going to be a rule, I am fine with that..

JUST SO LONG as the rule is applied fairly and impartially without regard to ideology or political persuasion...

Wouldn't you agree that THAT is how it should be???

Cuz I would LOVE a forum where the insults would cease... Wouldn't you???

Can't wait until you need help from the VA and find out what DOGE's "waste, fraud, and abuse" actually covers! Maybe that's all schadenfreude of me to say, but hey...

What facts do you have to support your claim that DOGE cutting out waste, fraud and abuse from the VA is NOT going to make things BETTER at the VA??

Cad has been exuberant about the VA few months.. He hasn't complained about his VA at all...

And, you know Cad... He ALWAYS complains about EVERYTHING...

So, given 2 sources of information you have (Me n Cad) who tell you everything is GREAT at the VA... I would seem that the FACTS prove that everything is awesome at the VA...

Thanx to DOGE....

And what's with all the hysterical hate about Elon??

In commentaries past, you have always swooned over Elon.. Elon was the savior of the planet with his TESLA cars!!! Elon was going to take us to Mars!!!

YOU absolutely LOVED Elon.. And it showed in your commentaries...

NOW you think Elon is Melakon to PRESIDENT Trump's John Gill???

Don'tcha think that's a little.. er... nutz???

Just sayin'...

Don't you know how to post a link after the two allowed paragraphs from the article itself?

And, no there aren't any word limits on YOUR OWN words. Of course, if you continue to insult everyone here including our esteemed host, then there will be an effective word limit imposed on you that you will not like.

You believe that Hillary Clinton is Melakon... You believe that Hussein Odumbo is Melakon... You believe that Fauxcohantas is Melakon. You believe that Headboard Harris is Melakon..

You actually believe that Taylor Swift is Melakon!!!????

Don't tell me.. Let me guess...

"Well... er... uh... That's different!!"
-JL

:eyeroll:

Oh, and I've been getting complaints. So please, from now on, limit yourself to cutting and pasting *2* (that is *TWO*) paragraphs from any 3rd-party article, and just providing a link, ok? because people are tired of you filling your comments up with cut-n-paste, and I have to agree (plus, y'know, copyright problems too).

'Kay?

You'll have to be more specific.. Because I have moved far beyond any quoting articles.. The Trolls didn't like that so in an attempt to appease them, I stopped quoting articles at all..

So if I understand your current request, as long as I am not cut and pasting articles, then my content has no word limit??

I really DO want to play by your rules... I just want to make sure what those rules are and would like to request that you impose them equally and consistently regardless of who is breaking the rules, eh??

And, if you would be so kind, could you make it a rule that no commenter can drag a family member into a flame war?? Make it a RED CARD violation??...

I know, I know.. It's silly that you would actually have to make a rule like that.. But, unfortunately, it seems to be required..

I also echo Liz. It's great to see you back.. Things are definitely better with you participating.. I REALLY missed that participation back on 5-6 Nov 2024.. :D

moosepoop, Mike. I'm absolutely right about Don Gill reading lines straight out of AH's speeches and mELakON doing his salute.

Oh! It's the SALUTE that is the basis for your claim that Musk is Melakon??

BBBWWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

http://mfccfl.us/salute2.jpg

So, I guess you believe that Occasional Cortex is ALSO Melakon...

You believe that Hillary Clinton is Melakon... You believe that Hussein Odumbo is Melakon... You believe that Fauxcohantas is Melakon. You believe that Headboard Harris is Melakon..

You actually believe that Taylor Swift is Melakon!!!????

Jesus H Christ, JL... You are getting as bad as 2025 CW with your Trump/America hate and your PTDS!!!!

And THAT says something.. :eyeroll:

I'm also right about the ongoing flame wars here; you're just as guilty of escalating them as anyone else, if not moreso.

I never claimed I wasn't guilty of escalating them.. I fully acknowledge my guilt of escalation.. Will your troll buddies make the same admission?? Of course not. Because THEY are the ones who not only escalate the flame wars, they ALSO are the ones who STARTED the flame wars..

You remember back when Victoria Troll tried to extort me into silence... Oh you probably don't remember.. A common side effect of PTDS and Trump/America hate.. Memory loss.. But only the memories that put your fellow brain dead woke progressive Democrats in a bad way.. :eyeroll:

Face reality, JL.. It just took you longer, but now yer fully a part of the Trump/America Hate & PTDS cult..

This all could stop right now... TODAY...

But only your troll buddies have that power..
