President Trump's dictator-like administration is attacking the values America holds dear
NBC "News" ^ | November 26, 2019 | by Robert Redford, Actor

Posted on 11/26/2019 12:30:28 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: a dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for. As last week’s impeachment hearings made clear, our shared tolerance and respect for the truth, our sacred rule of law, our essential freedom of the press and our precious freedoms of speech - all have been threatened by a single man.

It’s time for Trump to go - along with those in Congress who have chosen party loyalty over their oath to “solemnly affirm” their support for the Constitution of the United States. And it’s up to us to make that happen, through the power of our votes.

We’re at a point in time where I reluctantly believe that we have much to lose - it is a critical and unforgiving moment. This monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, it’s not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.

There are only 11 months left before the presidential election; 11 months before we get our one real chance to right this ship and change the course of disaster that lies before us.

Let’s rededicate ourselves to voting for truth, character and integrity in our representatives (no matter which side we’re on). Let’s go back to being the leader the world so desperately needs. Let’s return, quickly, to being simply ... Americans.

Redford was once a handsome communist, but age has been particularly unkind to him.

Wonder how many trips he made to Epstein’s Pedo Island with Bill?

That picture looks like a cross between Ted Koppel and Mitt Romney.

Bobby looks like he’s wearing short pants in that photo. Reminds me of Steve Martin’ character in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

You know Robert, we live in the only totalitarian country run by a ruthless dictator, where common folk, such as yourself, can go to the press and point out that we live in a totalitarian county run by a ruthless dictator, and not have to worry about making it through the next few weeks without being “dissappeared”.

Ironic isn’t it?

There should be a law that entertainers are forbidden to pollute the airwaves with their political views. Perhaps, the penalty should be that anyone in the audience who disagrees with the political view that the entertainer springs on the unsuspecting audience who is there to be entertained should be allowed to come up to the stage and punch the entertainer in the face.

Last time I checked Redford was a white male and is probably “Christian” at least nominally. Probably not a gun-owner but hey 3 out of 4 ain’t bad!

Redford is unhinged.

It’s the socialists who enslave and commandeer human beings.

Both Trump and the deep state are utilizing the same, time tested ways and means of media control/manipulation. 99.9% of the common people learn useful trades and lead productive lives, completely unaware or fully appreciative of the specialty field of mass psychology.

The techniques and methods Bernays, Goebbels, et al developed and perfected are well known to practitioners. It simply comes down to constantly repeating tight, easily understood concepts that appeal to vanity, patriotism, righteousness and moral values.

That's why both Trump's and the deep state's messages hit the same bullet points. If you read a blind script without knowing the target or originator, you wouldn't know who is who.

So, since both sides are playing the same game, and each side knows the other is playing the same game, we essentially have a stale mate. As on the Western front in WWI, all belligerents were equally capable. It was really a waiting game for a break through event, whether something technical, or more importantly, political. In the case of WWI, it's when the US entered on the side of the allies.

Because Trump knows how to play the game, his supporters constantly cheer his take-no-prisoners offensive; stop or hesitate, and all is lost. But the DS is playing the same game, which is why every time another article comes out like this, we frequently wonder why they won't give up.

It all really comes down to some make or break event. Trump has time on his side, so unless he's physically taken out, the DS - like the German high command - must know how the end game plays out.

Has-been Bobby needs to crawl back into his formaldehyde jar where he belongs.

Your time has passed, Bobby, like 30 years ago. Nobody except the Fake Newsers care about what a mean old geezer like you thinks.

Actors opinions are a dime a dozen. Their opinions aren’t anymore valid than anyone else. Clearly Redford is a big Lefty since he supported the Clinton Clown show. This screed proves he lacks discernment.

An actor by trade is a pretender.

Never heard of it. Neither did many other people, I suspect.
