Donald Trump, Banana Republican

“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

sniffThe 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 

windbagAlmost 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.

14517588_10154563888402433_5532671378611476210_nThat 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.

roid2Her 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?

mussolini2Because 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

downloadIt 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.”

this-wont-end-wellAsk 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.”

  1. Let me begin by saying that Donald Trump is indeed an arrogant, blowhard narcissist; and although the above comment by Mr. Shea is indeed eloquent and on the mark, it has one fundamental flaw in that it focuses on personality. American no longer has 2 parties; it has 3: Socialists, nationalists and warmongers. If you hadn’t noticed, all the warmongers (neocons) from the Republican party have now merged with all the warmongers of the Democrat party. The socialists left the Democrats in droves for Bernie and his free stuff. The nationalists left the Repubicans for The Donald. So if we stop focusing on personalities for a moment (ALL politicians are narcissistic sociopaths) and focus on the TRUE DIFFERENCES involved one will see that, for the first time since the 60’s the Establishment/New World Oligarchs are scared shitless of a candidate. The foreign policy positions of Trump and Clinton are the only thing that matter to the globalists and Trump has their panties in a bundle. The Trump movement may be our last Chance to strike a blow against the empire. Don’t get me wrong – he won’t save us; but before he gets assassinated, he is going to cause a serious uproar in the whorehouse of the US government — precisely BECAUSE he is a narcissistic sociopath who wants to make his own politically incorrect mark on history. I haven’t voted since George McGovern said he would end the Viet Nam war in 1972. But voting for The Donald is the closest thing that this old 60’s radical can do short of going back out in the streets again. (Which is still an option by the way)

  2. Since I recall that Mr. Hopsicker may have used the “elite deviance” in his oeuvre, I decided to see what I could find, in the Amazon book section, that would appertain to this fructuous phrase. That is when I discovered the book, “Elite Deviance”, by David P. Simon. The 9th and 10th editions of Simon’s book were not particularly affordable, so I settled upon the 8th edition, which is very affordable.

    Although it, is at times, a bit dry and academic, “Elite Deviance” makes for some truly fascinating reading. Currently, I am reading it along with “American Desperado”, by John Roberts & Evan Wright; “Shadow Warrior”, by Max Gomez & John Weisman; “Out of Control: The Story of the Reagan Administration’s Secret War in Nicaragua, the Illegal Arms Pipeline, and the Contra Drug Connection”, by Leslie Cockburn; “Crossfire”, by L.D. Brown; “Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary”, by Edward Klein; “The Bluegrass Conspiracy”, by Sally Denton; “Bagman” by Eric G. Stacey; “Barry and the Boys”, by his nibs (I am re-reading this one.); “The Making of Donald Trump”, by David Cay Johnston; “Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth”, by Wayne Barrett; “Queen of Chaos: The Misadventures of Hillary Clinton”, by Diana Johnstone (highly recommended); “Hillary & Vince”, by Dean W. Arnold; The First Partner: Hillary Rodham Clinton”, by Joyce Milton; “Partners in Power; The Clintons and Their America”, by Roger Morris; “The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money , and the CIA”, by Jonathan Kwithy; and “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, by Edward De Vere (aka William Shakespeare).

    We Americans have suffered an ever-deepening cancerous problem of a constantly metastasizing deviant elite ever since our British-driven civil war tore our nation and our society to pieces. The roots of this problem can be traced back to the illustrious East-coast American families, who along with British, engaged in the opium trade in China – families such as the Cushmans, the Delanos, the Forbes, and the Russells of Skull & Bones fame. It was deviant elite families, like these, who (along with their deviant British counterparts) also established the slave trade and the integral slave industrial complex in North America and parts of the Caribbean. These are the same deviant elite who laid the groundwork for the kleptocratic society and empire that 99. 99 % of us suffer under today ( q.v., “Opium Empire and the global Political Economy: A Study of the Asian Opium Trade, 1750-1950”, by Carl A. Trocki: “Imperial Brain Trust: The Council on Foreign Relations & United States Foreign Policy”, by Laurence Shoup & William Minter; and “Tragedy & Hope: A history of the World in Our Time”, by Carroll Quigley, who was a mentor of Bill Clinton’s, when Bill attended Georgetown University).

    Plain and simple, the United States of America, or the “Empire”, has been the major kleptocracy in the world since the end of Roosevelt and Wall Street’s World War in 1945.

    In the upcoming election, we get to choose between super-criminal A, super-criminal B, or NOTA. None of the above is a safe option for those who are able to recognize that Madame Hillary and the “Don” are much more alike than they are different; these twin birds of prey are both vicious sociopaths & incorrigible narcissists of the same feather. Hillary also has the distinction of being a mass murderer (q.v., “Queen of Chaos”, by Diana Johnstone).

    The members of the Clinton and Trump crime families have been known to hang out together; Chelsea and Ivanka are – maybe not anymore – good friends, according to the “Don.” Bill Clinton (who will be in the White House once again, and who will be addressed as Mr. President) and the “Don” have played golf together. The social-climbing Clintons went to the “Don’s” latest nuptial at Mar a Lago and the “Don” and “Slick Willy” are both admirers and (former?) friends of elite billionaire and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. In fact the “Don” has been quoted as saying that Epstein “is a terrific guy.” Heck, Madame Hillary even accepted a $60,000 donation from Epstein, a class 3 sex offender, after he had been indicted for procuring sex from underage girls. Epstein’s reputed “Madame”, Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of “that Robert Maxwell”, attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. Slick Willy got frequent flyer miles for his numerous trips on Epstein’s “Lolita Express.” The “Don” has been formerly accused of raping an underage girl at Epstein’s home. The “Don’s” alleged rape victim also claims that the “Don” threatened her and her family with harm, if she told anybody about the rape. The alleged rape victim has a witness, a former employee of Epstein, who backs up the victim’s affadavit. Unfortunately, for the “Don”, he does not have a Lady-Macbeth-like wife, such as Hillary, who will drop the hammer, or worse, on Bill’s sexual assault and rape victims, if and when they go public. Nope, the “Don” has to resort to lying and denying, just like the Clintons do, because, yup, they are all elite deviants all of the time, and because that is just what elite deviant bozos will always do, even when they get caught with their pants off.

    Madame Hillary, “Slick Willy”, and the “Don” are quintessential gangsters, who will stop at nothing to attain more wealth and power. Either the “Don” or Madame Hillary as the CINC/POTUS will be a horrible disaster for our society and for the rest of the world. But please, name me any of our presidents (since the deviant elite whacked the deviant Saint Jack of Hyannisport in ’63 for the crime of attempted decency) that has not been a terrible disaster for the rest of us 99.99 per centers? Please, do not invoke the name of the corrupt peanut farmer from Georgia, who has only marginally redeemed himself for his crimes as POTUS.

    By the way, it was the intention of the Clintons in 1992 to have a co-presidency – “two for one” – which is why Hillary demanded an office in the West Wing of the White House. I can just see Bubba, when Hillary is away. The old coke-snorting sex-addict will be cruising the halls of the White House, looking for young interns to turn on in exchange for sexual favors, just like in the good old days in Little Rock, when he ran with the likes of “Danny-boy” Lasater, brother Roger Clinton, and Lasater’s bevies of underage girls. Ain’t we lucky that we can get two deviant elites for the just one stinking vote. Personally, I’m saving up for that SpaceX trip to Mars on the “Heinlein Express”, when it comes time for blast off – one-way, please.

    We may as well re-name our country the United States of Scamerica because our entire American system is based on criminal scamming. Our deviant elite are like a bunch of casino owners who have the odds stacked in their favor. The rest of us suckers can’t beat the odds and the deviants won’t ever stop cheating us out of our money, and denying us our health and well-being. People like Trump, “Slick Willy” and Hillary look down on us 99.99ers. After all, they have procured the world; all that it cost them was the sale of their souls. “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”

  3. I’ll just be sorry when its all over.

    Its been the most fascinating three months in political history.

    As Rowdy Roddy Piper quipped…”I’m here to kick ass and eat pop corn, and I’m all outta pop corn.”

  4. Mr. Hopsicker,
    I wish to express my complete support for what you have written. I have been reading your website for probably over 15 years, and own several of your DVDs. You work is rare, and essential, and I am thankful you are here to do it. Your doggedness, intelligence and dare I say “sense of smell” is far beyond most who do this kind of work.
    This is my first post and I am appalled at some of the comments. The “false equivalency“ crowd has shown up here. They seem nearly as unhinged as Trump; I think they feed off of one another in a toxic back and forth. Hillary Clinton is a skilled lightning rod of a politician who has ideas about governance and a history that many do not care for. Donald J. Trump is toxic mess of an individual, a mass of protoplasm un-moored from accurate critical thought, masquerading as a human being. I mean, as you know, Roy Cohn was a mentor of his. He has spent a career trading in vacuous mutual flattery, while abusing any position of power he has had with all the blinding self interest and egomania of a dictator.
    Daniel as usual you are right on, and I just wanted to express my support.

  5. Well, Daniel, you certainly brought them out of the woodwork. For myself, I say, “keep up the good work.”
