Quotable Quotes

"What was radicalizing, very shocking and very disturbing for me was the city of Moscow, where I'd never been, the biggest city in Europe, 13 million people, and it is so much nicer than any city in my country. It is so much cleaner and safer and prettier aesthetically..." ~ Tucker Carlson

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something. -- Plato

Several corroborating reports indicate Moscow has become much more tourist friendly since Soviet totalitarianism receded.
The methodology of the sycophant is often obvious, even if the objective is not.

It may be among the most tragic and sad manifestations of defeat when a celeb like Tucker commits the Faustian trade, exchanging headlines for his own integrity.

They may call you "Tucker" sir. Is that short for "mother tucker"?

For generations Hitler's Joe Goebbels has been a recognizable master of "philology", in this case a euphemism for political propaganda.
Trump stands on the shoulders of such moral midgets.
"The primitive simplicity of their minds (the masses) rend them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell the big ones ... The victor will never be asked if they told the truth. ... Success is the sole earthly judge of right & wrong."
"Truth is not as important as success." Adolf Hitler

Those that have seen news about Trump for the past decade may find that quite familiar.

There are differences. Goebbels was a follower, Trump, a leader, in that sense a do-it-yourselfer.
Trump is writing a new chapter in the art of the forked tongue. It's reached a stage of the pathetic in such public address as Trump's post court appearances.

Joseph Goebbels​

Nazi politician and Propaganda Minister (1897–1945)​

Paul Joseph Goebbels (pronounced[ˈpaʊ̯lˈjoːzɛfˈɡœbl̩s]; 29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German philologist and Nazi politician who was the Gauleiter (district leader) of Berlin, chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and then Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler's closest and most devoted followers, known for his skills in public speaking and his deeply virulent antisemitism which was evident in his publicly voiced views. He advocated progressively harsher discrimination, including the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. [ more at More from Wikipedia ]
 
"It's very hard to be sarcastic. When I purposely interposed [sic] names, they said, 'He didn't know Pelosi from Nikki'...They make a big deal out of it. I said, 'No, no, I think they both stink.'" ~ Trump

For you D.J.
The foundation of sarcasm is a recognized if unstated premise of truth.
As the most dishonest celebrity so frequently front page, this essence of sarcasm is a sar chasm.

In NYC there is or was a building named Trump Tower. Not sure it's as prominent a feature of the NYC skyline as The Chrysler Building.
I deduce Trump acquired it, and renamed it, rather than building it himself. I used the ASK search engine w/ the following syntax: who built trump tower
I got the following

“You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” sometimes attributed to Abe Lincoln


Perhaps ol' honest Abe might have mentioned, in 2016 Trump fooled enough of the people to gain the presidency.

and a personal note:

Trump attempts to elevate himself for benefit from Navalny's reputation, a familiar style of political parasitism.
No surprise from a political party that claims to be political conservatives, for the boost to their reputation it imparts. Republicans are not political conservatives.

Do I need another cup of coffee?

Out of context the intended meaning of these quotations is a mystery to me.
Is it satire, based on the Trump victim narrative?

If not why doesn't the DOJ slam them all for conspiracy?
 
I sincerely appreciate the #638 attempt here S2. But it's a question for CPAC to answer.

Problem is, CPAC and CNN are opposing sides of the political spectrum.
It's a fundamental blunder to inquire of CNN the intention of a CPAC presentation.
CNN has the journalistic right to analyze, criticize. But not to explain or justify.

Even if CNN were capable of providing an objective perspective, CNN is a $commercial enterprise.

Compounding this difficulty is the obvious lack of credibility within the MAGA horde.

Bottom line, we can ignore them, or take them at their word, overthrowing democracy. btw it seems Ambassador Haley got Trump trounced in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary.
