Fox News on Republican Senator
BTW, I still post TA on this site from time to time and I also can’t wait for the US Election to be over so that GoldTent it can hopefully return to its TA roots… With 330 million American’s, I find it very sad that these two clowns are the best we have to offer… I have children who I have raised to show respect for others, along with the other seven virtues including; charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.
I am a lifelong Republican who has gone sour on Trump as I find him to be a very poor role model for the young people of this nation (see Dante’s 7 deadly sins). The attached Fox News link shows that there are very likely a number of Republican Senators & Congressmen who don’t buy into all the bombast, conspiracy theories, etc.
Let’s see how long this post stays up…

Our country has been fractured by divisiveness on both sides of the isle and I long for the days of civility in our speech and in our actions.
For those who are interested, here is a link to Dante’s 7 Deadly Sins. Remind you of anyone?

Hunter and Joe
Yes, them too but all politicians are scum and Trump is certainly a politician as he is certainly not a successful Businessman as he has conned most into believing. His businesses have had so many bankruptcies (6 by my count since 1990) that banks will only loan to his businesses now with his “personal guarantee.” Here is a quote and a link:
“When a bank asks for a personal guarantee, it is because the bank isn’t satisfied with the creditworthiness of the borrower,”

I too am a life long Republican and I said in 2016 that I would take any one of the 17 Republican candidates for President instead of crooked Hillary. But I am soooooo glad that Trump won the election, because non of the other candidates would have survived what this President has had to endure. You will remember that the “establishment” Republicans did not support Trump in 2016. He still won. Thank goodness. Now many of these “establishment” types will be voting for him in 2020. But surely there are still plenty anti-Trumpers among the swamp.
Draining the Swamp has a nice ring to it but it is just rhetoric. The swamp is both parties which are just two sides of the same coin that are controlled by the 1%. Both use rhetoric to appeal to their base but in truth, they are both just interested in more government spending (National debt is now approaching $30 Trillion), less liberty and more government control.
So is Republician Senator, Ben Sasse, an “establishment” type or a member of the swamp just because he disagrees with Trump?
He may be playing politics for his constituents …
Family Squables …every family has them
Perhaps but every critical comment Sasse made is legitimate and it shows that his “rough edges” are not sitting well with everyone in the GOP.
If Republican’s lose the Senate, we are screwed.
Sasse sees himself as the Republican candidate for the presidency in 2024. He wants Trump to loose so he can run against an ineffectual Dem administration. In my opinion he has made a serious mistake. One can’t win a party’s nomination without the support of the base. Trump owns the base.
When was the last time a president, other than Trump, donated his entire paycheck to charity? All four years? On the other side, ‘Crooked Hillary’ and the Bidens are enriching themselves by way of the highest bidder at every turn. I agree, he’s rough around the edges and a bad role model…I think his policies have been spot on.
I also agree with many of his policies like getting NATO to pay their fair share. But the “How” is just as important as the “What” in my book. Using Zero diplomacy and raging at European leaders certainly did not get the job done. Many cite his Business expertise but he seems to only be able to “order” other people and that sure did not seem to work. Do we even have any European allies left?
I hated the guy for a long time and now I love the Guy.
He has done more for the USA and Liberty than any Politician in recent memory
4 Nobel Peace Prizes….thats the real measure IMO.
I am with PK.
He is tough as nails and that is just what is needed in this envioronment .
You want a role model for your Kids Surf…Hunter Biden is a role model…and his enabling Father Crook !
He is rough around the edges but LOOK at the passion his base have for the Guy
Biden inspires NO passion whatsoever
Yep, I’m voting for what Trump does, not who he is.
Trump is a poor role model. Check!
Obama turned the US gov’t intelligence services into his personal KGB to destroy the peaceful transition of power and to overthrow a duly elected president Good role model?
Bush jr. began useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing millions. Good role model?
Bush sr. began the Bush tradition of invading Iraq. Good role model?
Bill Clinton cozied up to segregationists, sold the Chinese commies MIRV tech and was a serial abuser of women. Good role model?
Perhaps we should look elsewhere for our role models.
Good points but I was speaking about interpersonnal communication skills and how someone treats others they deal with. Do they start with respect that can lead to some middle ground or do they start with arrogance which often leads to rage? Having spent 30 years in the corporate world at senior levels, I have seen autocratic arrogant leadership structures work for at least a while because orders can just given. This approach does not work well in democracies or with other world leaders if you want to really get things done.
Every Politician has obligations to someone or some group. Trump is no exception. Here is a post from back in 2016 from a guy who predicted he would be elected president as soon as he announced his candidacy. I thought he was crazy but I have always found this post enlightening.

America is at a crossroads with revolution on our doorstep. On one side are the Patriots; those who seek to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. On the other side are Marxist insurrectionists; those who believe that America is evil and the cause of so many problems in world.
The Marxist-friendly side is pulling for Joe Biden to be ushered into the White House. They don’t call themselves Marxists, but as the saying goes, if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck, it’s a duck.
I’ve been writing since January that the Globalists don’t care if there’s bloodshed in America, and in March I wrote that the Left is waging a scorched-earth war against Trump.
At the risk of sounding like I’m saying, “I told you so,” I told you so.
If you’ve been reading tea leaves from the news lately, you may have already figured out what’s coming at us in the next few months. If so, the following may simply affirm your observations. But I wanted to put this out there so everyone knows what to expect and therefore won’t be surprised.
My seven predictions for how 2020 comes to an end:
Prediction 1: Trump will win the election in a landslide. I know, the media is telling you the polls are tight, but just look around. Trump rallies are packed to the gills while Biden can’t fill the bleachers at a high school football field. Trump supporters hold huge boat parades while we see NONE for Biden. Trump supporters hold freeway caravans around that country that take up all lanes of a freeway, while an attempted caravan for Biden in Las Vegas drew only 30 people. Just like in 2016, pollsters today are making it look like it’s a close race. This is gaslighting – they’re telling you something that runs directly opposite of what your own eyes are telling you, but they’re expecting you to believe what they say.
Prediction 2: On the evening of November 3, Joe Biden will not concede the election, even though the vote will clearly be for Trump. Hillary Clinton has publicly stated that Joe should not concede, so the seed has been planted in our minds to expect this. And, because we’re expecting it, we won’t be shocked by it.
Prediction 3: Massive mail voter fraud will create confusion and Marxists (e.g. Democrats) will insist that “every vote counts.” They know Americans want to be fair so Marxists will play on that. They will cry and wail and plead that every vote needs to get counted, so they’ll ask for sympathy for voters who didn’t follow confusing new election rules about how to cast their mail-in ballots. That will be their story, but many votes will be fraudulent. As they’ve demonstrated on America’s streets, Marxists don’t care about following laws; they care about power.
Prediction 4: Because of massive mail fraud ballots showing up late, election results WILL be delayed. The deceptive Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and the clearly biased Jack Dorsey at Twitter have already announced they will flag any posts or tweets that claim a victory for Trump. They KNOW Trump will have more than enough votes to win, but as Zuckerberg already told us, we should expect results to take “DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS.” In other words, Facebook and Twitter are well-aware of the planned mail-in voter fraud, and they’re already providing cover for it. The planned vote count confusion will be dragged out as long as possible. The Marxists’ intention is to keep confusion swirling at least until December 14 in hopes that the electoral college won’t be able to identify a winner. Expect ballots to keep showing up out of nowhere.
Prediction 5: If Marxists cannot keep up the façade until December 14, some states will obfuscate the electoral process by choosing not to follow the rules laid out in the 12th Amendment. In fact, both may happen. Either way, by attempting to throw the electoral college into confusion, Marxists (again, the Democrats) will make a push for the electoral college to be eliminated. Believe me when I say you don’t want this. Students of the Constitution know that if the electoral college is eliminated, the Republic will be gone.
Prediction 6: Expect Nancy Pelosi to be acting all patriotic and concerned about the Constitution during the chaos, but rest assured, it’s a passive-aggressive act. She is among the Marxist vanguard in both houses of Congress orchestrating the whole mess. You will also see some Marxist-friendly governors making a lot of noise.
Prediction 7: While Marxists in Congress are messing with the electoral process, Marxists on the streets (Antifa and BLM) will intensify their violence by burning, looting, and murdering even more than what we’ve seen to this point. There’s already a movement that seeks to lay siege to the White House. Not only do the puppet masters want all the street chaos to distract our attention from what’s going on in the electoral process, the street Marxists see this election as their only chance to either grab power or put up with Trump for four more years. The protestors have been trained to instigate violence, and copy-cat wannabes will want to join in. Street Marxists will view these riots as the fight of their lives: it will get intense.
To perpetuate the riots, puppet masters like George Soros will continue pouring money into organizations that fund them. Also remember that Antifa and BLM have threatened to go into the suburbs. Their purpose for doing so is to trigger the Soccer Moms who wants peace at all costs. Marxists will hope that these suburban moms will apply pressure on their elected representatives to give in to the Marxists so the violence will end. Life on American streets will be unpredictable and dangerous.
How does it end?
The Marxists are desperate, so the fighting will be like nothing the country has ever seen before. I predict we’ll see horrific things happening in our cities and on our streets, and traditional media (read: Marxist-friendly media) will be spewing twisted truths and lies about everything listed above. And we can’t forget that social media giants favor the Marxists in this revolution, so they will be squelching debate in whatever ways they can.
The final months of 2020 will be an emotional roller coaster, but in the end, I predict Trump prevails. It’s not going to be pretty, and many who are now thinking life will return to normal after November 3 will be sadly mistaken. They will be wondering what happened to the country they once knew.
Whether the Democrats implode or not after all this happens remains to be seen, but it is my prayer that when the dust settles, all the Marxists plotters and schemers be exposed and truth will be recognized as truth. And then … maybe then … Trump can get on with his promise to drain the entire swamp.
I also think that Trump will win re-election but the rest of your post is just KoolAid, if you care to drink it. Take a look at the POM link below and read it carefully. It is all about global monetary policy whose next step is a move away from the USD as the Global Reserve Currency towards a basket of currencies that are perhaps digital.
Trump is just a Tool just like every other politician. No more, no less. At least face the future with your eyes wide open…

But when the USD heads lower, Gold & PM’s will surge higher. That is my TA outlook… 😉
So what will it be then? The full faith and credit of the ruble, the yuan, the euro, the yen, the Canadian or Aussie dollar. Admonishing people to open their eyes when yours are clearly focused on the problems of only one currency is problematic. Putting a bunch of crappy currencies in a basket doesn’t make them less crappy, even in digital form!
Trump will win re-elction. Longer term the USD is toast and will lose Global Reserve status. Wars, Major elections etc. are all planned 25-30 years in advance with only two possible outcomes that are carefully controlled. Even if Biden wins the outcome will be the same. That is how cynical I am. This is all long-term geopolitical in nature having to do with Global Monetary Policy. The British Pound was the global reserve for over 300 years. The USD took over after WW2 (Bretton Woods) and has been in place for 80 years now (2 versions: 35 Year on the Gold Standard with the rest on the Petrodollar standard). The USD has peaked and will roll over soon as the end of its reserve status becomes clear (watch out for inflation soon followed by Stagflation). Trump, through his benefactors, was just the enabler of this long term plan, IMO and Gold is headed much higher.
I actually think the basket will consist of the USD (biggest %), EURO, YUAN, YEN and POUND in that order. The USD has already lost much of its Reserve status. Before the 2008 Financial (i.e Debt) Crisis, global trade was conducted almost exclusively in USDs. Most loans via the IMF and World Bank were in USDs. This is changing over time with China’s push towards bi-lateral trade agreements. Just google China Bilateral trade agreements to see how much the USD has now been placed on the sidelines, reducing the demand for USDs.
My Cycles work has the USD headed much lower and Gold (and perhaps Oil) much higher.
It doesn’t matter if global transactions are facilitated in local currencies. It matters where the profits are parked, and they are parked predominately in U.S. treasuries and U.S. stock markets. Everyone knows the U.S. dollar is toast. Every currency is toast, long term. Tell me which currency is ready to replace it, and when it will occur. It’s about making money, not making predictions.
