“The U.S. officially became the world’s largest banana republic last night during the debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. As viewers watched in disbelief, Trump threatened the former secretary of state, telling her that in a Trump Administration, she’d be going to jail.”
Mr. Sniffles Goes to Washington
The evening began with observers noting that Trump once again had the sniffles; that he was, in fact, sniffling prodigiously. (#snifflingtrump #sniff #sniffles).
They offered a variety of explanations.
Trump may have something up his nose. (Children often jam objects such as beans, peas, and peanuts up their noses.) Or Trump may have allergies. Or Trump may be picking his nose too often, or too aggressively. No one, however, offered any explanation for why Trump is never seen sniffling during campaign speeches.
Those who have at some point in their lives may have abused drugs — a description fitting as many Republicans as Democrats — almost unanimously favored a simpler explanation: Trump is snorting something that causes sniffling.
What condition his condition was in
Almost immediately Trump condemned Clinton’s conduct during the email scandal — which according to the FBI was careless but not illegal — proposing the appointment of a special prosecutor and saying if he became President he would “instruct my Attorney General to get a special prosecutor to look into your(Clinton’s) situation, because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception.”
His words are worth quoting in full, so there should be no mistake:
TRUMP: I’ll tell you what. I didn’t think I’d say this, and I’m going to say it, and hate to say it: If I win, I’m going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception … A very expensive process, so we’re going to get a special prosecutor because people have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you’ve done. And it’s a disgrace, and honestly, you ought to be ashamed.
48 hours after the world heard Donald Trump explain to Billy Bush that when you’re rich and famous you can “grab them by the pussy” with impunity, because they won’t, or can’t, complain, he was telling a woman that she should be ashamed. What do psychiatrists call that? Displacement?
They certainly don’t call it chutzpah. Donald Trump told America in no uncertain terms that he cannot be embarrassed. That he has no shame.
That he is, in short, a sociopath.
Clinton’s replied, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.”
To which Trump retorted: ‘Because you’d be in jail.”
And nobody said anything about it. No one said a word.
Really? Really Anderson Cooper? Martha Raddatz?
“Hey Donald! This ain’t Honduras. We don’t do that here.”
Me, I don’t even like Hillary Clinton. I like her running mate even less.
Her campaign was very efficient in stealing enough primaries from Bernie Sanders to make her the Democratic nominee for President. Her “win” will always have an asterisk beside it, like the one next to the home-run record of juiced-up Mark McGwire.
But that’s not important now. Why?
Because in front of America last night Donald Trump admitted that — like some tin-horn General with a medal on his uniform for every 1,000 peasants massacred — he badly wanted to use the power of the presidency to forcibly silence critics and opponents. He said it out loud and in front of millions of Americans.
No dog whistles this time. You could not miss his meaning.
No joy in Mudville again
It is the sort of talk you hear in countries where peaceful transitions of power are as rare as World Series won by the Chicago Cubs.
Like Honduras, which is ironic, because Hillary Clinton is the latest American viceroy tipping the scales against the legitimate aspirations of the Honduran people. The repression unleashed violence that has led Honduras, the original banana republic, to become known as “the most dangerous country on the planet.”
STALKER TRUMP RESISTING URGE TO “GRAB HIM SOME”
Before last night, if I thought about Donald Trump, I’d have described his as ‘cartoonish.’ Not anymore. Donald Trump is America’s worst nightmare. He’s a thug. We can only be grateful that black boots and riding crops are no longer in fashion.
Here’s what I need to say, to every American within earshot: “Hey Donald! This ain’t Honduras. We don’t do that here.”
Ask Il Duce…. This will not end well.
I don’t expect Trump to be interested in any advice but his own.But I hope a simple admonition might get through to him, a phrase he’d heard from lawyers many times as they offer to sue, the phrase which they invariably use to end their letters.
“Conduct yourself accordingly.”
Well said Joel.
Dear Daniel.
Sorry my terminology isn’t up to your ultra professional journalistic standards. I wasn’t doing it to impress you, as I don’t give one fuck about what someone I don’t know thinks about me. That being said, the sniffles thing started with a cocaine allegation, so yes you are implying such. And as for video, not every place has allergy season (I never said EVERYWHERE. Big difference between everywhere and all over. Arizona for instance does not have it since its a desert) but in Philly, where the allegation started, it is absolutely allergy season, which I know for absolute certain being that I live 50 miles north of Philly and am suffering from the worst allergies of my life this year (you never addressed Hillary’s coughing fit blamed on ALLERGIES in an area that had ZERO pollen count that day ie he Ohio speech recently). Or wait, maybe you can imply I am sniffing coke to since I blew my nose at least five times while writing this. And I am not going to do your research for you. I, nor anybody, has to prove he ISNT doing coke. You childish simps making allegations are the ones who need to present proof (innocent until proven guilty is still a concept I believe in, unlike people like you).
As for the rest of what I wrote, I notice you completely ignored the real heart of what I was saying. You can use the allergy/coke shit as a red herring/strawman argument (whichever you wanna call it) but you seem to ignore both Clinton’s actual CRIMES and Hillary’s possible Parkinson’s (or whatever keeps causing seizure, collapses and coughing fits)and focus on sniffles. And I see you failed to address whether or not you are an idiot or a Hillary operative as well (my guess is a little bit of both).
If Trump becomes president (for the record I am not a supporter of his, only a supporter of reality, truth and logic, none of which are in this article of yours) he is legally obligated to appoint an Attorney General, who then has the legal right to appoint said Special Prosecutor, who then has the legal right to investigate Hillary’s crimes, which MAY include, but is not limited to treason, murder, supporting a terrorist organization, bribery, racketeering,to name a few. So obviously you are completely lacking in the knowledge of how the Constitution is supposed to work.
Now on to your cliche Banana Republic theory. Where the hell have you been your whole life. Have you even paid attention to at minimum the last 3 presidents? The way Obambi, retard Bush and the Serial Rapist were running things, we could only hope to rise to Banana Republic status.
Good points Mike. I did not say Trump was an outsider. All I said was we know what we get with Hilary. We don’t know with Trump. There may be a power faction backing Trump that does not want war.
Obviously, Trump, like most (maybe all) Presidential candidates, is an actor. I guess his Pro Wrestling and reality TV experience hasn’t clued you guys in yet. He’s putting on a show. Probably to ensure Clinton gets elected (seems to be working). Clinton is the choice of the deep state, and will therefore “win”. If, for some strange reason, Trump gets into office, he has already selected a number of neo-con advisors who will no doubt bring him around on war with Russia. If you really believe he is not part of the establishment, not part of the global capitalism, then you are hopelessly naive. You don’t think this swindler, hustler, con-man extraordinaire will not make sure he has a wealthy post-Presidency by continuing the globalization of capitalism, the creating of corporate states, as a previous comment implied about Clinton? Who know doubt will do the same, of course.
Jim says, “American elections are selections of predetermined acceptable figureheads. They are the frontmen for the true power structure.” Precisely true, yet somehow seems to think Trump is not one of these front men. A guy who has been close friends with the Clinton’s for many years, a guy who has been part of the establishment (albeit, not specifically the political establishment) literally his entire life. Do you really believe that an actual outsider, maverick, what have you, could actually achieve the nomination of our duopoly to potentially be the next President? You obviously haven’t followed the history of this country, let alone read Daniel’s writings with much comprehension.
No, war is going to happen with either of these two, bet on it. The status quo will not simply give in to an “outsider”. Don’t kid yourselves.
Why is one or the other? They both may be dangerous. But Hillary is for war with Russia and that could be nuclear. Trump wants to cooperate with Russia. That makes good sense. The bottom line is always money and power. Which candidate will not destroy the planet? You do not play around with somebody who has nuclear bombs aimed at every one of our cities. Hillary and the established foreign policy people want to humble Russia—bad mistake.
I am surprised that you chose this to write about.
American elections are selections of predetermined acceptable figureheads. They are the frontmen for the true power structure.
I’ve read almost all of your one articles on your website since I came upon it a few years ago so this post of yours re: Trump sniffling and threatening to prosecute Hilary is odd, given your extensive coverage of the Cinton’s drug running, gun running and astonishing corruption. Perhaps your site has been hacked again. I’m truly going to have some serious doubts about your articles from now on.
Ugh!
Two creepy clowns sighted running
for President.
The current presidential race is an
active barometer for how our politicians
are selected for us.
But we knew that in the 1990’s when
we brought Leonard Gates to speak
at Bates College.
He was committing voter fraud for the FBI.

Hey Peter B… Haven’t seen evidence of subtlety in a while. Congrats.
This is what happens when an Empire begins to quickly decline. No mention that the unleashing of global capitalism has not only worked to destroy working people, but is worse now. Refugees used as weapons in Europe. Capitalism is collapsing all over the world at various rates. No economic analysis at all. And without an economic analysis political analysis does and will fail.
There is little doubt that the major mergers of companies from Monsanto to Bayer, banks and so many other services and industries is now transnational. Nation states are now corporate states.
Trump, or one like him, was inevitable. What is astonishing is that you fear a Trump more than a woman who wants war with Russia, is corrupt on so many levels, a woman who will turn this nation into corporate fascism and unleash WWIII. She is far more dangerous. Thirty years of sociopathy and pyschotic behavior, from Libya to domestic issues to the TPP, etc. She helped build a Jihadist ISIS, for God sake.
State capitalism is now how the world works and perhaps show it will fail and the globalists wish the entire world to be both in permanent war and global governance, like the EU.
Do not worry so much about a Trump. He does not want to push the button on Russia, she does. This must be taken into consideration and reported as so many do.
And who cares why he sniffles. This is sensationalism.
“Rapist Bill” lacks imagination. But “Satanic murderess” isn’t bad. Of course, sayin’ it don’t make it so. And I didn’t make any “childish, unsubstantiated cocaine allegations,” so you must have read something into it. But, hey, I don’t blame you for it, cause that’s hard not to do with a man who spent 90 minutes wishing he could wipe his nose off on his sleeve. Tell you what, this being “fucking allergy season all over the country.” Show me the video from any Trump campaign speech that shows him sniffling, and I’ll post it here.
I mean, it’s fucking allergy season, right? All over the country? So shouldn’t there be TONS of footage of Trump sniffling his way across America? No?
