In Victory, Magnaninity


" Sir Winston Churchill said, ‘in victory, magnanimity.’ I guess those days are over,” Scott Kelly tweeted Sunday."

The twitter responses ticked me off......

Primarily the so called LIBERAL responses....

Then after getting ticked.. I realized how stupid some Liberals are... how prejudiced they are.....how "politically correct" they to be.... for some they fell into a trap that Conservative, set... for others it was just the way they think.... Just the same as Trumpian supporters

If you haven't heard.. basically the twitter responses were about Winston Churchill.

Liberals calling him a racist and White Supremacist....

First of all.. not that stupid.. to believe twitter accounts are REAL people... I kind of judge it by the purpose and design... to determine the level of it's truthfulness. along with my past experience with people.

So to explain that.. First thing is the truthfulness of the tweets about Churchill are meaningless to me. In the context of the "quote"..
Second.. the end result... of a context about Churchill... totally distracted and diverted the context of the quote
The "political correctness" as exhibited by Liberals.. did nothing but service the purpose of Conservative..
So the purpose and design of the responses came into question.. the truth of the distraction and diversion came into question... And why would "someone" want to diminish the quote, who wasn't Conservative? And maybe it was just"fake tweets"

Anyway.. let's assumes Liberals are THAT STUPID.. to cut their own throat.. Then they are also too stupid to not understand the quote, and not abide by the quote.

I have to deal with the National Right... about almost everything.. about it..
Who said it.. and not about what was said... who said it.. detracts from what is said

I deal with it here..from both sides

What did Twitter users say?

So Twitter users let Kelly have it:

“A mass murderer can never be a great leader.”
“Churchill was a mass murderer. His actions led to the death of millions due to famine in bengal state of erstwhile india during WW2. He compared indians to beasts. He myt be a hero for a lot of u, not for indians like me.”
“Ahhh. Winston Churchill. A guy who participated in an actual genocide of the Boer/Dutch South Africans in 1902.”
“One of he greatest leaders of modern times??? More like one of the biggest terrorists of the past couple centuries. Clueless…”
“Scotty you are digging your way to the bottom. Wish there was help for you but I don’t know where to start. Are you seeking relevance or something?”

How did Kelly respond?

So that same day, Kelly — a former fighter pilot who commanded the International Space Station on three expeditions — offered a follow-up tweet, this time apologizing for quoting the British leader:

So Kelly becomes either a Stooge or stupid... take Your choice...
But if you believe me..... those quotes fit perfect into Trump distraction and "fake twitter" Or are the Russians at it AGAIN.. Is their motto to MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN.... OR maybe it's COLLUSION?

Please don't bring up Churchill in this blog...i didn't care what Churchill was.. It has nothing to do with the quote,. and nothing to do with this blog... You want to fight over who Churchill was..Do it somewhere else... And Don't prove the point of my blog by doing it.... He's DEAD for Christ sakes...

Hi Cricket. I want political correctness and goodwill among all Americans. It's deeply disturbing to see just how awful Trump could be. In the first primary debate Megan Kelly asked the right question. I didn't think so at the time but now two years later we can see just how important her question truly was. The lack of civil debate is a product of frustration more than anything else. Trump's response in the debate was so creative that it became a barometer of where this campaign was headed. I confess I never thought it would actually penetrate the presidency. Trump's stewardship has been so appalling that people are becoming physically sick. Think about that for a moment. Thousands upon thousands of people, many who devoted their lives in service to the country are having to endure this crap into their graves, distressed over what may happen to the nation they leave behind for their children. I'm one of those people praying I can endure this mess. I'm worried about the country my kids must survive in. That reality is slipping out of the consciousness of way too many Americans. I think what I'm telling you is that Eric Holder is who is right here, not Michele Obama. We are well beyond when they go low we go high. We have to stomp out this cancer, and you can't stomp out anything without a stiff kick in a fat ass.

Me. again. Americans will always prefer civil discourse....but that isn't solving a problem like we have...thirst for authoritarian power. We are now at stage 2 of fascism...as right wing mobs prove in their recent violent chaos. That's STAGE 2 CRICKET. If the republicans bury Muller's report, and that is possible...we are in a heal of trouble.

    Quoting LeafReport:

Well, we got to look beyond the fear of Trump, that's a done deal, and begin to look at the disaster he's creating now..
I doubt anybody is going to want to be President after Trump...It going to be a daunting task...

It should be evident to most people what Trump is doing....but little do they understand the effect of it.. on our future

Every president and every institution HAD a two fold duty... First to solve the problems in front of their face ...and second try and solve it, in relationship to the problems.."up the road".

Trump has eliminated the second duty so the immediate impact.. becomes the only impact he considers..(Unless, the impact allows his family, in the future to line their pockets... but that's not the point..)

We are stagnating, to build a foundation that will aid in solving future problems.. The next Presidents will be handed and un-built road to the future.. that they're trying to build from square one.. It may mean building it too late. Future problems will be more serious.. than they need to be.
There is this failure to consider future problems.. For example, Obamacare.. I always thought was a "bad idea"... but instituting that 'bad" idea, recognized the future health care problem.. Trump doesn't want to solve it , both Obamacare and the future problem.. He wants to sweep Obamacare under the rug. Which means the future problem of healthcare will become that much more daunting.
Because of Trump's actions now.. and Republicans not doing their job...Trump future impact, on things such as the job market, stock market, retirement, financial institution, healthcare, American health, poverty, diversity democracy, and inclusion.. will become far more serious in the future than it needs to be..
And the Republican LIES will continue.. as they blame it on the next guy up..

Seriously.. How stupid can people be.. that Trump solves the current problem, but only gives the appearance.. he's solving "the problem"...He's just moving it to the future..Where he will NOT be "on the hook' for it.....He runs his entire life that way..

Everything Trump does now.. his years in office .. will never have existed..It puts us behind, every year he's in office.. Trump will have NO lasting effect.. except for the future disasters that HE creates. and his taking his place in history along with Judas, Brutus, Benedict Arnold, and Ebenezer Scrooge...But to his supporters there is a purpose.

I challenge any Trump supporters to come up anything he has done that has a POSITIVE long term lasting effect.. not that they realize or even care about the specifics.. because they don't.. they only have a 'goal" They hope will be the Long term positive lasting effect

I know their answer.. I know their goal.. I know why they elected a Trump...I know why they think he's the Man for the Job...and WHY they support him.

TO DESTROY THE "UPPITY" LIBERAL
and they give him "carte blanche" to do it...

Good luck with that

Because the failure of a typical Fascist State or Autocratic State is you can't destroy an idea.... If that was possible, if you can destroy an idea.. Then any idea can be destroyed....... And Trump's supporters failure to understand the meaning and repercussions of "Spitting into the wind".
