A correlation between THE DARK KNIGHT and our current political dilemma

Donald Trump is the Joker.

The thinkers of the world are Batman. Those of us that actually want to fight injustice, speak freely, and try to turn the tide against the madness it is heading toward.

Everyone in this country who has always secretly been racist, bigoted, hateful, and believes that God tells them its okay to do so is the mob. Those that prey on the weak-minded with fear and scare tactics.

There's too many of us now, you see. What with the internet, YouTube, and a hundred other sites, there are just too many of us waking up to the misery and suffering of the world to control. Hell, we can't even be silenced by the "terrorist threat" they constantly air on Fox News to keep us in our houses, afraid to go out into the world.

Want proof? Why do you think YouTube is suddenly shifting all of its policies toward censorship? Towards monitoring and classifying everything everyone says and does on their site? Dictating what is and what is not "subversive" or "offensive" material?

Almost the entire structure of America is built on systems of fear: You can't speak against your boss, or you'll be fired. You have to do what your boss says, or you're fired. Democracy does not exist in the workplace.

If you raise your voice in an argument in a public place, such as WalMart, for example, you will be asked to leave by Security. You are not allowed to discuss religion or politics at your workplace. You are not allowed to be angry, or show anger in a public place at any time for fear that the Police will be notified that you are acting "suspicious".

There is no safe place to discuss things, save your own home. And, according to some of the things Snowden has been saying, the fear-mongers are listening to that, too.

But you can't silence all of us. And the internet is very hard to control, so... In their desperation, they are more than willing to hire Mr. Trump as the new CEO of America, with all his promises of income and change and deportation and border closing and all the other bells and whistles of oppression and hatred that they have come to cherish as true, decent, God-fearing qualities of the TRUE Americans.

The only trouble is, he's the Joker. The only person he's really looking out for is himself. Promises aside, the only person that's going to walk away with all the money is HIM. What he will do with it is anyone's guess (especially since we can't even SEE his tax report, remember?).

I thought of this interesting correlation and thought I would share it with you. Disagree if you like. Vote for whoever your conscience dictates. Do what you think is best, for you.

It's only an opinion, after all.

You didn't come here to make the choice, you're here to understand why you made it.

You've obviously been living under a rock (and intend to stay there, judging by your post) if you needed Snowden to tell you what was happening.

The future is in the hands of a man who has none.(As in no future, as opposed to no hands.)

So what are you saying? Snowden is lying? He's just making things up, to get attention?

You're not serious, are you?

The problem is, this describes Hillary as well. What makes it worse is that she's always been desperate for political power. She calls herself a feminist, and yet not only excuses Bill's affairs and sexual assaults on women, but takes tens of millions of $ from countries which treat women horribly to the point of blaming them for being raped.

She claims to be for gay rights, but takes tens of millions of $ from countries which persecute homosexuals to the point throwing them off of roofs.

Trump isn't my first, second or even third choice. And, I don't even think he really wanted to be POTUS - at least not until he got so fed up with both parties being nothing more than the establishment trying to keep control.

But, no matter how bad he is, what he wipes and flushes every morning is infinitely better than Hillary.

She has always lusted for power and never cared about any law she had to break. She considers herself entitled to the position and really only wants to be POTUS so that she can go down in history as the first female POTUS.

Hillary is playing the game the same way every politician has ALWAYS played the game. I can see why you might think fresh blood in the form of someone who doesn't have the same agendas as your typical politician might be desirable, but to give your trust to a guy like Trump who is clearly a loose cannon at best is just a terrible idea. He has no experience. He has no diplomacy. He has no tact. He's not a leader. He's a dictator. A true product of the American business machine.

People's lives depend on his decisions. CEOs do not spend a lot of time giving a crap about the people who work for them. We are just worker bees, making honey for the queen.

We don't need a CEO running what's left of our Democracy. The very nature of the pure business model in this country IS tyranny itself. Do what the boss tells you, or you're fired.

That's how he'll run things. And we'll all be slaves to his commands.

Hillary is playing the game the same way every politician has ALWAYS played the game.

And that is what makes her so dangerous. Taking bribes from every wealthy donor, big business and foreign country means she'll always look out for THEIR needs and how she can make more money for herself, as opposed to doing what is best for the PEOPLE.

He has no experience.

The best line of either debate so far has been, "Hillary has lots of experience - none of it any good."

He has no diplomacy. He has no tact.

Who cares? Bill Clinton and GW Bush had diplomacy - a lot of good that did us. LBJ had no tact - you should have heard some of the stuff he said.

He's not a leader.

Except that he is. He's always been a leader, unlike Hillary who has always been a person who hitched herself to someone else's coat-tails.

He's a dictator.

And 0bama isn't? And Hillary isn't? 0bama walked out of national security meetings because he didn't want to hear the negative stuff. 0bama had the IRS go after Conservative PAC's. 0bama refused to investigate voter intimidation done by the new black panthers. 0bama had the FBI go easy on Hillary. Hillary has bossed around her Secret Service detail as if they were dogs. Hillary has gone after women Bill screwed around with and/or assaulted. Hillary dictated the terms under which she would be interviewed by the FBI. Hillary lied to the FBI. Bill had an ex parte meeting with the AG.

A true product of the American business machine.

That describes Hillary as well considering how much money she's taken from Wall St. and how she's told them in private that THEY will be the ones to fix the US.

People's lives depend on his decisions. CEOs do not spend a lot of time giving a crap about the people who work for them. We are just worker bees, making honey for the queen.

0bama was a community organizer. No one's life or lively-hood depended upon his decisions. He didn't give a cr*p about the businesses or their employees which he accused of racial bias in order to get them to make a "donation" to his cause. They were just his personal bank account.

We don't need someone who has lusted for power her entire life to the point where she is hypocritical in all things, is in the pockets of big business and foreign nations and has a track record of failures including the destabilizing of the middle east and the death of at least 4 US citizens.

Again, Trump isn't my first, second or third choice. But he's infinitely better than Hillary. She wants to continue 0bama's policies of economic disaster and cowering from the rest of the world.
