I am seeing quite a few publications that were "independent" showing Trump Derangement Syndrome. It is strange to see the obsessively negative behavior over every detail. Its obvious they are not "independent". That being said, there is nothing wrong with objective coverage. But when it strays into lunacy, you know something is up.

I wrote for Lew Rockwell for a couple years. Now I can barely stand the Derangement and the lack of critical thinking

As Myriad Mike says, Economists are the " world's biggest, dumbest, most vacuous and meaningless religion ". That's likely so, but I have a contender:

Trump Derangement ( sufferers ). This has got to be the craziest - add Mike's adjectives- religion of all. It makes it's members into nut cases who can't reason, think, see or function clearly or even dimly. They are so far into their knowing box ( Trump Derangement ) that nothing will ever get them out. And, only that which supports TDS ( Trump Derangement Syndrome ) gets in......

It's so beyond the scope that It's a Ripley's shoe-in for the most - crazy plus Mike's adjectives - religion ever.

Good One !!

Speaking of drugs and Big Pharma, we need a new Clara Peller - say Roseanne Barr - to do a new commercial. She's at the Pharmacy and goes up to the window to pick up her prescription - a small round bottle that costs 3 grand. She looks at it and then at the druggist and asks, " Where's the cure? "

Trump may be "hitting all the right buttons", but it looks like Elon Musk is exiting the DOGE

project, and Trump has announced in the latest "big, beautiful" spending bill, where he boasts of

presiding over the first trillion-dollar defense budget. He has now started a war in Yemen, at over a billion dollars a month, and is saber-rattling in the direction of Iran. He continues to shut down free speech at an accelerated rate, especially if one speaks out against the terrorist state of Israel and its genocidal maniacs. So... I guess you can include me in the Trump Derangement movement. What's really to like about this administration going forward?

Trump might help his case and the anti-woke causes, if he didn't show his ignorance

as President, on such major matters as to which countries are in BRICS or not -(Spain

for example, which he wanted targeted). Is he happy with the crippling power outage-just

given Spain, which just refused to comply with major Israel's agendas? And we know

Trump is pushing and facilitating those genocidal agendas fully even against Lebanese and Syrians.

He's promoting his own anti-Trumpism, with constant bullying talk, such as with assertions that Greenland, Canada and who knows where else -should be 'annexed' - not to mention his

claims of his right to a 3rd term presidency, as well as his removal attempts of free speech- criticism of Israel being now close to prohibitive. All this does not help his image, coupled with his incessant bombing of Yemen and his US tax money for unbelievable torture and annihilation of the children, and all people of Palestine. Where does any possible success of his economic measures stand in relation to such inhumane and unconstitutional stances? It does not inspire respect or trust.

Another great piece!

I've talked about this for years, but the world's biggest, dumbest, most vacuous and meaningless "religion" is ECONOMISTS! They are the biggest clowns on the planet! The ride every bull until it crashes, and push every bear as "a buying opportunity", but mostly they are just scared shitless, of ever going against the conventional wisdom! Why? Because the bullshit economy, is the only one they know! They have been "going along to get along" for as long as money has been paper.

They haven't expressed an original thought, since the 1700's, and even then, they were still wrong. They're religious zealots, and their religion is economics. The tried and true belief that everything we have done, and are doing is exactly as it should be, as it must be, and everything else is heresy! "Dear God, listen to this blasphemy!!"

Paul Krugman being their high priest, like a Pope, with no brains, charisma, charm, or knowledge. They fail to predict every crash, instead preaching about never ending growth until the day after the crash is realized.

They lack guts, wisdom, knowledge, or insight. So, of course, if anyone dares to take one foot off of the reservation, they all, always, shit themselves in a panic! And "what" is there greatest fear? That they will be proved wrong, anytime anyone does anything different, whatsoever.

hence: Religion.

These supposed polls are lies and pure BS. Are we to think these economists are not also Deep State schills trying to con us by fear? More prophets of doom?

Deep State is not just an American phenomenon, the whole world is their sandbox. DS wants to play all the little people as fools.

Keeping us in a state of their fear. Do we continue to react and be herded by this constant never ending state of instilled fear ?
