mircea_popescu: "Trump was never a happy warrior, exactly, but he had some zest in the primaries. There was a hearty gusto in the way he insulted Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. That gusto was gone tonight, replaced by pure agitation and irritation." << "we have some words when someone attacks the small-socialist designated targets ; and some other words when someone attacks the big-socialist designated good people."

mircea_popescu: nterest in appearing on camera." << ahahaha melanie trump does not want to be on cam ?! what the fuck bimbo did this guy replace ivana with!
mircea_popescu: "Inside the tower on Saturday, different plans of action were discussed. Mr. Trump and his advisers considered a joint television interview that he and Ms. Trump would give to a major network, an echo of the 1992 appearance by the Clintons on “60 Minutes” after Gennifer Flowers claimed that she had had an affair with Mr. Clinton.

mircea_popescu: "When 2008 Republican nominee John McCain on Saturday withdrew his endorsement of Mr. Trump, that left 1996 nominee Bob Dole as the only living GOP nominee backing Mr. Trump." ahahaha epic.
mircea_popescu: ny sort of future in us republican politics, they've finally decided to take sleeping pills rather than wait quietly for the brown shirts. ). plus you know "trump enablers" and all sorts of similar crapolade from ~every other pack follower, from boston globe to whatever newspaper nobody read since 1991.

mircea_popescu: and is going to change his mind because... trump... said things about women ?
mircea_popescu: seriously, somebody somewhere who currently is going to vote for trump is going to... change his mind ?
mircea_popescu: "Donald Trump Could Have Been President. Let’s never forget what a terrifying thing we almost did. By Isaac Chotiner" << lulz.

mircea_popescu: if trump goes on tv ? yeah they'll come over.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what trump is gonna do ; maybe he hangs everyone ever involved with the democratic party. maybe he doesn't. if i end up in power however - i do.
mircea_popescu: o btw, didja see most recent polls ? trump ahead of loser by a point nao.
mircea_popescu: yea, it's totally because not paying attention to ~trump~ that place's going to shit. not because not paying attention to the soul eating, all consuming bureaucracy. that's a-ok, will make the country not-great again because it doesn't need to, because to them it's always been great.
mircea_popescu: so i watched a southpark episode last night, it was one about how all the canadians moved to the us because they had elected a trump and canada was turned into a total detroit by his idiocy BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION, and it made me think of http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160831/from:98/to:98#98 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: curious what trump does.
mircea_popescu: phf in fairness, digging too deep into english space "authority" is never well advised. trump turns into "guy who ~squandered inheritance" for eg.
mircea_popescu: not that you couldn't overload it horribly ("if this statement is signed by lkfjl5k shoot obama ; if it is signed by 3k4j5lkj54 shoot trump"signed) means what ?
mircea_popescu: yes, yes, i get it : life is a contest for life, and you have your favourite horse. this is fine. the important point here however isn't so much "what trump can accomplish" but "mp is as far as the internet can tell trump's campaign strategist. because no one other has better proof."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-11#1518522 <<< ahahaha what, trump is "of course" leading "these hacks" ? libertards concede seat at top of tech pyramid to redneck in chief ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: yeah. what else are they gonna do ? it'll be cheaper to make it in germany than to buy it from trump.
mircea_popescu: if trump had any sense, lockheed, northrop & friends are FULLY defunded the same day, and are allowed the mercy to perhaps beg for SOME SMALL PORTION of re-funding, maybe, someday. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: trump's having such a marked advantage so early, on top of a campaign entirely predicated on flattening everything and everyone (and implicitly "the man") draws that chunk of idiots in like shit draws flies.
mircea_popescu: maybe trump comes out as a transsexual.
mircea_popescu: bloomberg piece includes the official ideological discussion of trump, check that out.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503490 << we see no such thing. she's (by which we mean, the system people that manhandled her into running for them) entirely desperate, going to lose spectacularly in november, willing to try literally everything. if i could show her 1mn trump votes in half dozen states, she'd write numbers on her tits for us here. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (seriously, woman was born in 47. she will be 70 by the time trump's inauguration rolls around. what soviets these libertards, they replicate the same system irrespective of what they say, with the same results.)
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha wait, hilary is going to legalize ganja because of trump ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and obviously enough, jewish groups trying to boycott german goods in the 1930s us is tghe exact equivalent of obscure rapper dude saying things about trump to an audience of obscure wanna-be rapper, wanna-be gay, wanna-be mit etc dudes.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure this'll lose trump some votes in the 12% black + 4% lgbtdskfhkejrhdfg community, and gain him some in the 78% white and pissed group.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check it out, the top hit is about how he wore a don't trump america jacket.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i think trump actually intends to end the gop if he wins.
mircea_popescu: whole "gavin got consensus" "trump don't got a chance" bla bla all over again.
mircea_popescu: not so. i actually am one, they don't think i'm a genius. trump .... isn't, let's put it mildly.
mircea_popescu recalls with some amusement the certain certainness of various derps, "professional" as well as amateur, ritously explaining how trump won't get the nomination.
mircea_popescu: now they're whining about how "an independent run about non-trump ''conservatives''' would be ''devastating''". what fucking conservatives ? moreover, weren't they NOT whining about the actual disaster of trump running without them, winning and then that's that for the gop ?
mircea_popescu: ashley feinberg over at bankrupter rubbing her dry snatch raw over some bizarro fantasy where "trump quits after he wins".
mircea_popescu: sooo... apple "withholds" "tech aid" from trump campaign. best fucking thing that ever happened to those people, not being bogged down by macs & shit.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i've not followed closely. maybe someone can produce an item of trump's that's actually actionable in any manner.
mircea_popescu: much more interesting is what weird marine lepen-like notions re bitcoin float about under the trump rug.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the defeated hillary will sue trump for "allienation of affection" lmao
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's gonna be so fucking lulzy when trump ends up at the white house and he does exactly what obama did. remember, the nigger was gonna be entirely 100% not like bush, and like close down guantanamo and get out of iraq etc ?
mircea_popescu: this has ~never stopped nature, has it ? hence byproducts like trump, obama, clinton, bush etc.
mircea_popescu: omaigerd you can't imagine how butthurt argentina press is over trump winning
mircea_popescu: "here's a random publicity of the photo showing obama being fucked in the ass by donald trump (not pictured)"
mircea_popescu: then again most people predicted trump.
mircea_popescu: notably, he has the sex-fiend ex car salesman thing. guy predicted trump!
mircea_popescu: "PaulFest in 2012: a week-long thing in Florida leading up to the Republican National Convention in which last-minute rule changes to keep Ron Paul out were hastily voted into place; rule changes which are today responsible for the Trump phenomenon" << plox to detail this for me ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, since you're maybe the only guy here that actually gas re us politics : admitting for the sake of this argument that trump really is the you know, tell-it-how-it-is, fight back against the system independent bla bla : what does the fact that he isn't making "electronic votes are not a sufficient way to settle this election" a central part of his campaign ?
mircea_popescu: what's next, you know, ima negrate trump for not voting kanish or w/e that ohio derp's name is.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's not workable, and it wouldn't be workable for trump. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: might as well demand trump learns a foreign language.
mircea_popescu: with any luck, trump wins the election, we get 99 year lease on ft meade and martial law ten miles around the perimeter.
mircea_popescu: "The failure of the GOP and the conservative movement, to the extent one exists in the United States, to police their ranks for con artists like Glenn Beck out to fleece their rank has lead to this." // "The success of sympathy conmen like Glenn Beck or Donald Trump enjoy fleecing the angry-socialist flock makes one wonder whether the GOP even exists in any meaningful sense."
mircea_popescu: anyway, needless to say the argentine press utterly hates trump. "o noes, male with an ego! hilary is for kids and women! NO UNA MENOS!!!1 herpderp"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally - imagine the fucking ratings once trump turns the white house into a nbc studio

mircea_popescu: what's the ivanka v2's name, evita trump what ?
mircea_popescu is wishing trump the most mp-esque of fates.
mircea_popescu: anyway, trump got 7, next ghuy what, 3 ? 4 ? it's all over. i hope to hell he a) fails to get enough delegates and then b) spits in their faces re "brokered convention" and then c) starts his OWN party on pretty much a platform of "fuck the republicans and what are these democrats supposed to even be ?"
mircea_popescu: in other news - hilary apparently attacked trump, and with a total loser speech. it's all over, he's winning
mircea_popescu: that trump thing's on fire ☟︎
mircea_popescu: trump didn't actually beat inflation, let alone the s&p.

mircea_popescu: so far it's trump
mircea_popescu: to take trump as vp
mircea_popescu: no way, someone is ahead of trump ?!
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> Rand wouldn't be a bad president, but Trump has more of the showmanship << maybe they name the USS Flagship "Hairpiece" after him.
mircea_popescu: anyway, much to my contradicted disbelief, the consensus among unconnected, aparatchick chicks on okc seems to be that "well, a) trump will win and b) that'll be tghe end of any federal government"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349175 <<and you're probably right - trump & partners've been pretty desperate to promote that show where young women inexplicably expect to attract attention while keeping clothes on. seriously ? get with the kimes! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is the first time i actually read something by trump. i guess that shows about how much of a shit i give. nevertheless, it's almost as if they start with the same paste and then name it trump or stevens or whatever
mircea_popescu: Bankruptcy artist, likely payment fraudster, and aspiring fiat politician Donald Trump overshadowed a previous comment by proposing

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308917 << dude. "de" lavoisier was exactly the opposite of aristocracy, more in the vein of donald trump. he inherited the fortune of a ferme generale entrepreneur (tax scam the french copied from the romans - guaranteed to make one crassus-rich. sort of at-the-time equivalent of "real estate development") and married the scion of the same. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't see the difference. obama 3rd term is probably a better outcome than trump vs hilary or w/e.,
mircea_popescu: trump IS an ex-hobo himself lol
mircea_popescu: the funny thing about "groups advocating influentially in media they don't own or control" is that the famelic good for nothing hipsters propose that THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. ie, being someone's cockpuppet is somehow worthy, whereas if trump writes "fuck you" in his own fucking magazine, that's somehow "not fair" and you know, of "lesser value".
mircea_popescu: http://fredoneverything.org/thumpathumpthump-here-come-trump-pols-have-knickers-in-knot/ << his piece on trump is quite well put.
mircea_popescu: and who's alienhead, buterin or trump ? tbf trump's head is mostly local, with the exception of the venusian hairpiece of course.
mircea_popescu: oshit, look at that, in other news trump is no longer shorter odds than 1 on bitbet.
mircea_popescu: yeah, right. in other news, "Those who are interested in Trump are voting for a stop to the illegal immigration and the flooding of America with future Democrats who will have no jobs and live off food stamps, but are convinced the Democrats will keep their new way of life alive."
mircea_popescu: "Meanwhile, what remains on the other head of this two-headed economy besides driving to-and-from the Walmart? Pornography? The tattoo industry? Meth and narcotics? Prostitution? Professional sports on the flat screen? Kim and Kanye? Grand theft auto? Do you really think Donald Trump can fix this?" << prostitution.
mircea_popescu: trump actually leading clinton dear god.
mircea_popescu: you know, romanian "press" and "social media" got very much similarly humiliated in 2008 when a romanian sort of donalt trump trampled all over their girlbits.
mircea_popescu: senator hurrdurr (who really seems an exact mirror image of ron paul in left colorings) is certainly out of the question, but omfg don't tell me trump takes over and does a postmodern rendition of reagan
mircea_popescu: trinque actually trump has been rich for a while.
mircea_popescu: isn't that making the twerp into way too much ? what's next, "donald trump tips illuminati agenda for toupes" ?
mircea_popescu: he's still alive. never trust the living. for all you know he ends up like donald trump, doing reality shows in his 70s
mircea_popescu: "One of the central themes of the postmodern critique of our values is that aesthetics must trump truth as long as aesthetics remains undefined. That’s the semiotic conundrum, why psychiatry is politics: the truth is demanded only when it supports a preset ideology."
