What movie am I watching? Comedy? (sometimes) Horror film(almost never)…but mostly, the most educational documentary ever! “Trump is breaking through cognitive dissonance walls that have been erected over the course of generations by a system of systems designed to enrich and protect itself.”

The Art of War. Art of the Deal.

And great minds (like BB and many Badlands contributors) for interpreting!!

Thank You, BB. Christmas Blessings to you and your family ❤️🕊

He walked into the room and sensed the ripple of unease. Good. The new bureaucracy was standing around with plain paper cups and strong black coffee. People were milling about murmuring about no cream or sugar, and looking uncomfortable in the White House briefing area. No fancy porcelain cups with saucers. No lavish breakfast spreads. Unease was good. Take away some of the familiar terrain, and then give them a new path through the woods. They will breathe a sigh of relief as their footsteps grow more confident and their pace quickens. Their anxiety will lessen as they realize they aren’t completely lost and can see a trail ahead. He walked to the coffee table, poured his own coffee in the same paper cup, turned around and said” Ok , let’s get to work”. The master had returned.
