Won't Get Fooled Again



The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Perhaps much more dangerous than the old boss.

We may have been fooled again. And I'm wary -- much warier than I was a week ago.

But I'm not yet convinced that we have yet been fooled. We can't trust the msm reports.

If Trump's lexicon changes, then we will know that we have been fooled.

From where I'm sitting, the neocons are now resurgent. Didn't we always know that they wouldn't surrender?

Pastorius said...

Yes.

But I didn't expect Trump to buy it.

Again, I am not so concerned with bombing Syria. I can see good strategic reasons for that.

McMaster is the problem. More wars without a goal.

Pasto,
Can you access this article in the New York Times? If not, I'll copy and paste it into an email to you.

Concluding paragraphs of the article:

The wrestling match has spilled over into public view as each camp seeks reinforcements among news media and conservative figures. Roger J. Stone Jr., an on-and-off adviser to Mr. Trump for 30 years, accused Mr. Kushner of planting negative views of Mr. Bannon on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a show the president is known to watch.

“Many of the anti-Steve Bannon stories that you see, the themes that you see on ‘Morning Joe,’ are being dictated by Kushner, while Mr. Kushner’s plate is very full with Middle Eastern peace and the China visit and so on,” Mr. Stone said this week on the radio show hosted by Alex Jones, an avid fan of Mr. Trump’s who loathes establishment figures and traffics in conspiracy theories.

Mr. Bannon’s supporters are publicly warning about the subversion of Mr. Trump’s real agenda by the so-called Democrats.

“This isn’t about palace intrigue,” Laura Ingraham, the conservative radio host and author who was one of Mr. Trump’s earliest backers, said in an interview. “This is about a full-scale assault against the Trump agenda from within. If the president allows this to continue and drifts away from his key pledges, he risks losing his core constituency and any hope of a second term.”

Pasto,
McMaster is the problem.

I agree! 100%!

BTW, the neocons love that article in the NYT. I see them Tweeting the article.

Personally I don't believe anything Roger Stone says.
