How was the Teflon of Republicans constructed ?

What manuevers and methods are used, in constructing Republcan Teflon ?

Trump has most definitely formed his own personal form of Repubican Teflon.

Bizarre claims, are Trump's stock in trade.

Trump's bizzare claims are constructed of utter lies, and the absence of truth, facts, and reality.

This journalist unearths the view of Trump's supporters


The point is, these statements comprise the vast majority of comments I read from Republicans, and they’re completely inaccurate. This is why political debate goes absolutely nowhere these days.

It’s hard to have rational discussion with people who are starting their argument based on complete lies.

Not only do they base their argument on these lies, they want these lies to be true. Even when you present them with indisputable factual data that contradicts their beliefs, it makes absolutely no difference. And therein lies the problem. They’re suffering from cognitive dissonance.

Simply put, it’s where the brain creates it’s own reality when faced with two conflicting beliefs. You see this often in abusive relationships.

One partner is abused, but wants to believe their partner loves them–because that’s what they’re told. They then equate abuse to love and convince themselves that it’s okay, because they want to believe that the person abusing them actually does love them. Their brain can’t comprehend the conflicting realities, so they create some alternate form of reality which justifies these conflicts. That’s where we’re at with Republicans. They want to believe the lies they’ve been fed, even though reality doesn’t support them. With this conflict they’ve created an alternate reality where facts don’t matter, science doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, history doesn’t matter and math doesn’t matter…

Traditiona Republican supporters are accustomed to accepting premises that make no sense, due to indoctrination, that took place at religious centers.

The Grand excuse for corrupt practices, immoral behavior and law breaking committed by Republicans, was that any and every weapon used against Democrats were justified actions. Loyalty to the Republican Party was paramount, and disgusting, reprehensible men of the lowest character were to be tolerated, because they are useful to the Republican cause.

The Republican Party was seen as one huge organism. Attack one cell of the organism, and all cells would respond in defense.

Or,not.

Another fallen soldier, felled by his less than human weakesses.
The soldier will be recycled by the Republican party, and be put to use, after the worst of the scandal is over.

Or, not.

yikes!

It is not just Trump, that uses the Schrödinger's cat method of deflection.

The whole Republican Party is built on the true/not true premise of simultaneous existence/ non existence. After the truth is found, the lies and corruption are exposed, a meme persists, even though the meme is false.

As if the debunking had never happened.

I suppose the roots are traced to use of the bible.

Believe, even though the statement are ludicrous, and there is nothing in the statement is clear, concise, or precise ?

Schrödinger's religious belief sets ?
 
Oh, fuck. Television distraction. They are demonstrating ramen recipes.

Believe, even though the statemens are ludicrous, and there is nothing in the statement that is clear, concise, or precise ?

Donald Trump: "Crooked Hillary Clinton. Crooked Hillary Clinton."

Kellyanne Conway: "He doesn't hurl personal insults."

Richard Wolffe brought up two interesting questions in his article, written for the Guardian newspaper.

(August 26, 2016)

Why portray Trump as the scariest man alive ?
Why treat him as if his random brain farts will become reality?

He brings up the point, that Democrats do not stand up, and say he is a fake.

It would take a month of non stop coverage to explain why the claim of Trump being a fake, was a true claim, and a true statement.

There would be a barrage of statements denying the claim that he is a fake.
Trump is running a campaign to become POTUS.
How could someone possibly prove that Trump's promises for future actions, are not serious ?

Hillary Clinton stood up, and said that Trump is a racist.

The problem with Hillary Clinton's decision, is that she is dealing with a Schrödinger's cat of a campaign on Trump's part.

Trump is campaigning against Hillary, and because of her long experience and career in government, she is nearly grim in her attitude. The death of Americans is a deadly serious issue.

Trump started his campaign as a buffoon, he strove to be entertaining. This is something that Hillary Clinton would avoid like the plague. She has attained gravitas. She has the world stage and gained trust and mutual respect of world leaders.

Hillary Clinton is stuck in a double, or even triple bind, when she deals with Trump.
Trump stands at the podium in front of the world, and he perpetuates lie, upon lie.
Lies do not matter to Trump supporters. A lie is a good weapon, for a Republican. Hillary Clinton is Democrat, and she is held to a different standard. She must be absolutely truthful. Because people do take her seriously. Hillary Clinton is expected to be consistent. Hillary is allowed no leeway. She has been living in a glass house. Everything about her is known.

Trump on the other hand, is all over the map. His statement is true. Wait, it is not true. It was true, and now it is not true. Wait, it is true, again. Wait, it is both true, and not true, at the same time. It is a joke. Wait, it is not a joke. It is a joke, and it is a serious statement, at the same time. Bad joke. No wait it was not a joke.

Trump is allowed to make statements that defy translation. It is worhwhile for him to use his tactic, because the news cycle moves on, before the issue is dealt with.

"Trump creates nice things, reneges on promises surrounding nice things, makes it up with shittier thing, to dismay of people it affects. Trump feels no effect."

Bottom line- No one cares, it is not of great importance. It is just another news bite.
Except for the fact that it is damaging, harmful, and an attack on someone, and it has consequences, for someone else. Trump's supporters do not care about who wins the election. Half of the Republicans do not care about what Trump says, or what he does. It is always a win/ win situation for them. Trump wins, they have a operative in the driver's seat. Trump loses, and they have Hillary as a punching bag, to blame and attack.

Trump may make a firm statement, but he builds wiggle room for himself. Trump makes an off the cuff remark, immediately, afterwards.

The firm statement is to satisfy his supporter's pleasure at being allowed the opportunity to exhibit their racism in public. His supporters cheer and clap their hands, and shout out their hate, when they hear what they have waited to hear.
The off the cuff remark that Trump makes to cover his political arse, is ignored by Trump's supporters. They are waiting for him to say something that they like to respond to.

The bizarre of this public battle, is that Trump entered this campaign as a comedian.

The best way I can explain this, is premise that Tyrion from Game of Thrones commissioned a suit of armor to be built. The suit of armor would have actually been a mechanical robot, that Tyrion woul ride inside, and use levers to raise his sword.

Lady Brienne would have the impression that she was fighting a knight that was as large and strong, as she was. She would hack away at his limbs, as King Arthur did with the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail film.

Nothing but prosthetic limbs have been removed. Lady Brienne's wounds are real.
Tyrion's wounds are not real, because he is a Little Person pretending to be a full sized adult man. He may howl as if he had been sliced apart, but he is laughing while it happens. She cannot reach his flesh, because there is no flesh to be wounded. Lady Brienne has been lured into an unfair battle.

As Lady Brienne suffers, and Tyrion reveals himself to be what he has always been.
Tyrion exits his mechanical suit of armour, and dances and skips away, singing.
Lady Brienne is left exhausted, and bleeding.She did all he real work, while Tyrion pulled levers, in his safe little bubble.

So, it is with Trump. He entered the battle as a buffoon, donned the armour and he pitted himself against a person of stature, honor, and reputation.

Trump entered the campaign as a buffoon. Hillary Clinton entered the campaign as a serious candidate. Hillary is forced to do the real work. Trump is not expected to be honorable, be truthful, and he has no good reputation to protect. He is just as rotten, as he ever was.

Source, amended to sit the occaision-

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

[the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off]
Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: ...You're a loony.

gsgs statement-

I still have the feeling of fear, when I contemplate the possibility of Trump sitting in the President's chair. Thank you, Monty Python, for reminding me of that word.
Loony. Trump is most definitely a loony. Anyone who has any sense would feel fear, if all the lives of Americans were under the charge of a loony. The leaders of the world would not welcome a loony to negotiate with.
They will have to stop Trump with an old fashioned strait jacket, if he ever reaches the White House.

Loony

This would be a more convincing post if you quoted a number of Trump's lies, and proved that they are not true.

What's the need? The media fact checkers do this hourly and post it for anyone to see, as they wish.
 
I caught bits of this morning's offerings, on TV.

I did not find it amusing, or funny, to hear Hillary's spokes people insulted."Handmaidens." How medieval. Trump should know. Everyone is subservient to Trump.A morning filled with Lord Trump's servants, trumpeting the Trump name.

King of the Western world, Donald Trump, seeks to have his Chinese manufactured goods promoted as "By Appointment to the President of the United States."

'By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen,' belongs to Queen Elizabeth.
I would like to be present, if Trump attempts to crush Queen Elizabeth under his heel, while he is in the presence of Her Royal Person. Though, I hazard to guess that everyone connected to the palace will insure that he will never be allowed to approach the Queen.

I gasped when Democrats were named as the KKK's origins. Considering, which mouth passed along the misinformation. Broadcast on a major network.

Hillary Clinton was given time for a soundbite.
"Renaissance of Racism." A fact revealed.
"Private company hired by Hillary Clinton traces hackers to Russia."

Is the Trump campaign providing canned speeches to the news media outlets ?
Seems as though Trump's off the cuff remarks, were not included.
Trump is not sticking to what is on the teleprompter.

I listened to Trump's Iowa State Fair speech.
Trump is trying to reassure his white Christian audience that he is not a racist.
His audience seemed disinterested in hearing "African American" repeated.
Truman's fans respond to Republican dog whistles,they clap and shout on command.They seemed to not find much to cheer in his monologue about "African American communities."

A journalist has something to say, about Trump and the NRA...

"...the latest face of gun violence in America, at this time when you are supposed to believe that all we have to do to sleep better at night is build a wall and keep Syrian refugees out of the country."

"It is guns and gun violence that are a defining story at this time in this country, even as the presidential campaign degenerates into name-calling about bigotry."


gsgs comment-

Trump took his opportunity to spread Trump slime on a victim of gun violence.
On Twitter. He did not offer condolences to the famiy, until people noticed what a jerk Trump is.


http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...kea-aldridge-shooting-death-article-1.2768365


"...Trump is the endorsed candidate of the National Rifle Association, which never thinks stories like Nykea Aldridge are about the gun; which has demonized Clinton on guns every chance it has gotten; which thinks you could never possibly have enough guns in America."

"Somehow, though, we always keep coming back to the gun, in a country where anybody can get one."

Trump's Chicago rally would never meet Trump's expectations.
Trump's team went with a lie, and blamed the canceled rally on the Chicago Police Department.

Trump Can’t Talk To The Blacks Because Blacktown Way Too Dangerous To Visit

August 23, 2016


Much like the IRS telling Trump that they are not stopping Trump from releasing his tax records, the Chicago police said they were never consulted!

"Chicago police explicitly said they hadn’t been consulted on whether to continue or cancel the rally."

"Lewandowski had a narrative to stick to, and he stuck to it: We tried it in Chicago, we were overrun by scary black people, and Trump will never make that mistake again..."

Panelist Angela Rye tried to inject the possibility that there are in fact other places besides Chicago where black people live: “Would you acknowledge that not all black communities all over the country are still not monolithic. So if he tried the same thing in Cleveland, it wouldn’t necessarily happen?” We think she’s missing the point, which is that it might be very difficult to round up any sizeable number of black Trump supporters for a rally. You might fill a high school gym if you flew every black Trump supporter in from all over the country."

Obama comments on / about Trump rallies before Chicago event

President Obama had commented on the increasing tension at Trump rallies while speaking in Austin, Texas, earlier on Friday, alluding back to the so-called "birther" movement Trump previously stoked.

"We're shocked someone is fanning anti-immigrant or anti-Muslim sentiment! ... We're shocked! We're shocked that someone could be loose with the facts. Or distort someone's record. Shocked!" he said. "How could you be shocked? This was the guy who was sure I was born in Kenya. And wasn't letting go ... As long as it was being directed at me they were fine with it. It was a hoot ... and suddenly they're shocked!"
 
What's the need? The media fact checkers do this hourly and post it for anyone to see, as they wish.

Yeah but one more casulty of the Trump nomination media fact checkers are not up there with Salon as far as sources that people trust.
 
I've heard we are now, thanks to the Trump in-your-face-lying, in a post-fact world.

What a fact is has always been a bit hazy and subjective, but now, with Trumpster bald-face lies being accepted because they are what the sheep want to hear, facts just don't matter anymore.

Jabba the Trump's Greatest Hits!

Jabba the Trump is at the mirror, giving attention to his hair weave, and his hair Tsunami.

"I took a trip to Mexico, thank goodness my fans have short attention spans."
"I will imitate the rock stars that I steal from. I will give them a few of my greatest hits, to warm them up."

Be Afraid!
Be very afraid!
I will save you!

"Yes. That will do the trick."

"My new writer is worth the money. 'Dangerous Criminal Alien.'
"That will thrill them, and send chills up their spines."

"Pure genius of that writer to borrow from horror movies."
"Their hair will stand up on the back o their necks."
"OK. Showtime!"

Trump at the podiumc
"Dangerous criminal alien!"

(Trump chuckles to himself, as he envisions urine soaked seats, everywhere.)

Look! I have proof of the presence of Dangerous Criminal Aliens!
Eye witnesses!

Washington Post Admits the Hillary Clinton Email Mountain Is a Molehill After All

SEP. 9, 2016

The Post's View

The Hillary Clinton email story is out of control


" Mr. Powell attempted last month to distance himself from Ms. Clinton’s practices, which is one of the many factors that made the email story look worse. Now, it seems, Mr. Powell engaged in similar behavior."

"Imagine how history would judge today’s Americans if, looking back at this election, the record showed that voters empowered a dangerous man because of . . . a minor email scandal. There is no equivalence between Ms. Clinton’s wrongs and Mr. Trump’s manifest unfitness for office.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.b3e249212951


Trey Gowdy's committee was unable to find anything even marginally corrupt during an 11-hour inquisition of Clinton, and July this year, when FBI Director James Comey made it clear that she had done nothing remotely serious enough to warrant prosecution.

http://www.motherjones.com/blog

Cannot find the hypocritical Family Values Republican, that
served as chair on commitee, head of committee, working to rewrite laws ruling on prostitution and pornography, but was caught indulging in Pr0n and is partying with prostitutes.

(Though, there is a list of RHFVP from this year)

But, I did find Marco Guadaluope Hidalgo Gutierrez

Mr. HWMNBN boasts that he will get the best people to run the USA government.

It seems the best people that he can find, are criminals.

California Department of Real Estate has also brought actions against Gutierrez. In a 2011 action, they sought to revoke and/or suspend Gutierrez' license for collecting advance fees for a home retention action, only to take additional funds from the homeowner's checking account to pay his Comcast and Sprint bills instead of helping them to keep their home.

Claimed bankruptcy 14 times!
Serial Real estate scammer!


No Taco Trucks ?

On August 20, Mario Rodriguez was all smiles as he sat to the literal right of Donald Trump during the Republican presidential candidate's inaugural meeting with his much-vaunted Hispanic Advisory Council.


(Last year, he co-signed a letter vowing to never vote Trump. It did not help, when Mr.HWMNBN returned to his raving about his wall, and deporting people.)

Sources tell the Weekly that many of Rodriguez's associates and members of the Hispanic 100 are aghast at his pro-Trump stance, arguing he's putting the final nail in the OC GOP's Latino-outreach coffin.

http://www.ocweekly.com/news/why-is...mexican-so-mum-with-his-trump-support-7490016

"Here we are, putting all this money and effort into getting more Hispanics in Orange County to register with the Republican Party," says one Hispanic 100 member who requested anonymity. "Then Mario messes it all up by announcing he's going for Trump. We all hate Hillary, yeah. But Trump is toxic. Mario just made us a laughingstock."


(Mr. HWMBN may have made a promise, or said he would get some money for this favor.)

Just remember what happened to the Patriot Kids.

After nine months of haggling with Trump staffers, the group sued the campaign in Sarasota County, Florida, for as much as $15,000 in damages.

"We’re not suing for emotional distress and all that other stuff that people do when they trump up—no pun intended—when they trump up a lawsuit. That’s not what this is. This is tangible dollars I spent under false pretenses.”

10 pre teen girls sang and danced and entertained at Trump's rally.

Trump used them, and threw them away, after making and breaking promises.

Truman's attitude, "we made a deal, I changed the deal, and you gave away everything for free, because that is how I operate. So, sue me!"

It happened.

The Bad Fairy ? Or, The Con Man who Would Be King
A Bedtime Tale for Campfires
Oooooo Scarey!


Too bad, that the Patriot Kids understand this story without being told the names of the Bad Fairy and the Con Man Who would Be King.

Instead of fighting for the defenseless, she dined with the powerful. Her actions never seemed to match her words. She turned haughty and unavailable. Almost unrecognizable to those who once adored her.

Soon, word came of a Rich Man who had been selling promises in the territory. He collected bundles of coin, and yet all of his promises turned out to be empty.

Help us, the people shouted to the Attorney General! Pursue this Rich Man and force him to return the hard-earned gold he has taken from us.

The Attorney General would later say that she did not hear the people shouting. That their complaints were intercepted by her servants who saw no reason to inform her of the accusations.

Instead, the Attorney General called on the Rich Man and asked if he would be her patron. To bestow upon her some of his riches so that she may remain atop the legal mountain.

And this he did.

then came word that the Rich Man had returned. Only now, his promises had grown grander. He had become the Rich Man Who Would Be King.

All around the territory, he attracted the disillusioned eager to believe in his promises. His power and popularity grew. The crown was there, just beyond his grasp, and so it was time to collect on past favors.

The Attorney General rode down from her mountain to speak of his good name. To implore the same townsfolk she had once forsaken to rise up together and support this Rich Man Who Would Be King.

Only this time, many were disappointed by their erstwhile hero. Many were still waiting for her to justify the auction of her integrity. If you are so beholden to him, they reasoned, why not just sell your soul?

And this she did.

If you tell most people what they want to believe you can lie to them, if they want to believe the lies.

Donald Trump tells his poorly educated constituency: it is not your fault you are sinking economically; it is the fault of non whites, liberals, and the government.

Actually, it is the fault of an economy that requires more intelligence to be prosperous.

It is largely liberals and the government. Unless you're into weapons, security or military contracting. Then your problems are largely republicans and the government.

Our economy doesn't require intelligence to be prosperous, the Kardashians are proof otherwise.

What you need to be prosperous is a government connection/contract or a well paying job working for someone else who has government connections, protection and contracts. Or a sex tape with a celebrity.

The government is the mafia and you don't get to do business without paying protection money. Thems the rules.
 
Republican Teflon is founded on the lack of integrity in our press corps. If the Press was doing it's job to advance civil society, Trump wouldn't get one headline, unless he caught fire on Broadway.
