It’s all about access…
Today people want to reach out and touch you, Facebook has flattened the earth – everyone feels equal – and if you stand above the fray…it’s only a matter of time before you’re taken down.
This is how Donald Trump can get away with the sappy comments about his family, and his inane statements regarding minority groups, i.e the Taco Bowl, and the uneducated.
People speak first and are analyzed never online.
It’s only the old wave players, working the refs, who believe gotcha politics still plays.
That’s so last century.
Today you keep talking and adjust along the way. Everybody makes mistakes! Social media is riddled with the cookies of your humanity – being inappropriate, misstating facts – but we all know the truth will out in the end. At least enough of it to make a difference.
Wikipedia rules the fact-based world, even though there are inaccuracies on my own damn page. But better the wisdom of the crowd than the wisdom of Karl Rove and the rest of the fat cats who think they can sway society. That’s what’s utterly laughable, the big time news media and inside the beltway movers and shakers who have utter faith, however misplaced, that they can shape the minds of Americans.
No, we’re all a compendium of our influences.
Most of us are riddled with falsehoods, because there’s truly no consensus. Most people won’t go to Wikipedia, they don’t want to be shown up. However when the issues become really important, then it’s necessary that we shine light upon the truth.
And Hillary Clinton has done a poor job of doing this.
But Elizabeth Warren is a Power Ranger – a member of the Fantastic Four – and she’s beating Donald Trump at his own game.
Trump owns Twitter.
Anybody on the site knows that accumulating followers is a long hard slog. But you can get a leg up by ATTACKING someone with a ton of followers. Who, of course, could refuse to acknowledge your poke and leave you in the wilderness but…
The Donald can’t do that.
Elizabeth Warren took on Trump on his own turf and eviscerated him.
IT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS!
That’s right, even if you can’t comprehend Twitter, you heard about the war.
How could Warren be so smart and Hillary so dumb?
Hillary’s so busy triangulating that she’s not even playing.
As for Bernie Sanders, love ya man, but some people are just too elderly. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks and most Boomers – today’s alta kashers – have all the technology but are clueless as to how to use it.
But the truth is this is a battle amongst the younger generation, the ones who not only have downloaded Snapchat but know how to use it. And they’re aware of this Twitter war. It may not be as high profile as Kanye’s shenanigans, but it’s much more important.
Trump is Kanye.
A guy most people hate but think everybody loves because he’s all over the news and constantly gets a pass. But Warren is not afraid. She waded into waters she did not need to and then walloped the Donald.
Who even knew she had a Twitter account?
She’s only got 426,000 followers. A mere pittance compared to Trump’s 8.18 million.
But she knows Trump can tolerate no negativity, not when it comes to his brand.
So Elizabeth weighed in.
And didn’t pull any punches.
And the Donald fell for the bait.
Mistake number one. You never punch down.
So he calls her, “Goofy Elizabeth Warren.”
She says: “Goofy,’ @real DonaldTrump? For a guy with ‘the best words’ that’s a pretty lame nickname. Weak”
Whew! Warren turns the have a beer paradigm on its head. She’s the one we want to hang with. By using the vernacular, she humanizes herself. But this is secondary to the fact that she’s giving it right back, demonstrating that she knows Trump’s games, with “the best words” reference, and ultimately the Donald looks small, because we all know you never win a Twitter war by calling people names. It just goes back and forth.
Warren attacks the Donald’s identity and politics and…
Trump just comes back with pejoratives. Says she’s playing the “woman card,” accuses her of not doing her job, wasting time on Twitter, but he’s RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND IS ALL OVER TWITTER? And who’s running Trump, Inc?
Warren’s got balls.
And unlike Clinton, she’s not afraid to show them.
Hillary’s been castigated so much for not being a milk and cookies mom that she now fakes it and says she is. No Hillary, you’re not warm and fuzzy. And we don’t want warm and fuzzy, we want to see your killer instinct, something the Donald demonstrates not only day by day, but hour by hour.
So stay off social media at your peril. If you intentionally want to be removed, if that’s your shtick, fine. But if you’re stuck in the last century doing it the old way you’re doomed. Everybody knows everybody and everything these days. Mystery is history. When you try to float above the fray you look like a doofus. Stop complaining someone moved your cheese and play by the new rules.
And Hillary Clinton…don’t you get it?
We live in a new era, talk first and think later.
No one remembers what you said yesterday. It’s all about mindshare, which is why Trump tweets constantly. Hell, ever since he sewed up the nomination 10 days ago it’s been all Trump all the time in the media. Hillary’s losing the war because she doesn’t know she’s in it. It’s like America not realizing guerrilla warfare can’t be defeated by bombs in Vietnam. It’s like Republican bozos asking for more warships when the future of combat is in cyberspace.
Our heroes come and go ever faster in today’s world. You establish your reputation by participating and then cement it by continuing to play. We only want winners, who are unafraid of the powers-that-be, who speak their mind – who go for the jugular when appropriate – because we all know social media is the land of bullies.
Elizabeth Warren took one of those bullies down this week. When are her Democratic minions gonna wake up and follow her lead?
—
lefty…this was merely a test.
They have signaled the most important weakness that trump has.
HIS EGO.
If you noticed these tweets blew mr. trumps head.
But I can guarantee you the Clinton campaign has a computerized program
they will launch soon after Hillary wins that will make mr. trumps
twitter campaigns impotent.
I’m sure the war room of the dems has information how to totally
take over the twitter and facebook sites. In fact, many of the incredibly
brilliant data mining and computer coders and programmers came from
the twitter and facebook inside operations.
I will have further information on this…but this was the first salvo
to come that will obliterate mr. trump with over 30,000 twitter uploads
an hour (you didn’t hear that from me)……
Just wait lefty….the blitzkrieg is ready/aimed and ready to fire.
I saw it all in the windy city.
And if you were here in 2012 you kknow Harley has the inside scoops.
Save the date Harley.

I’m a left-leaning independent, but that’s some good stuff, Chuck. A grain of truth in comedy is what makes it funny.
Just like The Donald, you use the best words.
🙂
you’re now a comedian.
I expect you’ll draw just as well as Butch Patrick/Eddie Munster. So you get to work for dr. pepper ribs and nachos
that were left on the tables from Saturday night.
Clean off your boots ditch digger. It was muddy and the
wife doesn’t want any mud on the floor before you
fall asleep on the barcalounger watching the History/Nazi
channel.
Hope it clears up Tuesday. Working in dirt holes is not
my idea of a job with a future.
Of course being 62 and bald and old isn’t fun either is it
chuckles?
“Today people want to reach out and touch you, Facebook has flattened the earth – everyone feels equal…”
“No, we’re all a compendium of our influences.”
“But better the wisdom of the crowd…”
So, Leftysetz thinks “Social Media” is a 21st Century “Delphi Method”. Right?
No.
“Most of us are riddled with falsehoods, because there’s truly no consensus.”
Essentially, Leftysetz says that his dad (Or, Mommy in this case.) can kick your dad’s azz,
The eviscerating twitter comments from Chief Elizabeth Warren that Leftysetz thinks excoriate Trump are evidence that she “Hits like a chick”. The sound and fury of this column truly signifies nothing and only makes sense to true believers like Harley.
In fact, if Harley actually graduated from “J” School, he could have penned the same meaningless, meandering, stream of inane consciousness bull sh*t (Harley’s real problem, is that his brain cell is in his azz, so when he sits down to type, he passes out. Hence, syntax and spelling nightmares that shake, even now, S.I. Hayakawa in his grave.)
A few columns back, Leftysetz penned a paean to authenticity. I guess if Johnny Depp can be Tonto, Elizabeth Warren can be a Cherokee. Maybe she “Identifies” as a Cherokee, kinda like that nasty uncle who “Identifies” as a female and will soon be pizzing in a urinal next to our granddaughters in public restrooms.
“…we all know that Social Media is the land of bullies.”
Leftysetz has written some really excellent stuff in my opinion. I don’t agree with his politics but I like to read his opinions. If Studs Terkel and James Wolcott had a baby, it would cry like Leftysetz. That said, this was crap.
D+
I guess since you’ve not been successful in life and live a paupers life
you find everything negative in your world and the world in general.
You blame others for your paltry existence.
You scream at workers at a loews because they’re not “working” when
essentially they’re better people than you.
You deserve nothing and because you end your life on the short end of
the stick you try to bring others down to your level.
Well chuckles the sad ditch digging clown: Harley has put you in your
place. You’re just a weakened old man who can’t keep up with today’s
changing world. You don’t understand the change in the world.
Twitter/facebook/instagram…those are the future. Your 19 inch
black and white tv is a bit old and outdated.
Truth is you’re a loser. And you’ll always be one. It’s too late to change.
What’s next? Throwing your pancakes at the servers at Dennys?
Or even better chucklets…how about pissing on a homeless vet?
You’re a disgrace!
Or maybe
you’ll use those big words you use to try to hide the fact that you’re almost
done. You look old and weathered. And nothing can change that!
A do nothing nobody who’s life is closing out with a big ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing to show for yourself except a life that passed you by.
And if Johnny Depp can be tonto then you can be a successful dude.
But for you it’s too late. Times up.
Your daughters should buy you a rocking chair for xmas. That’s where your
life is. Rocking away what time you have wondering where did your life
go?
Well we know. It went nowhere.
You’re mr. nowhere man….living in his nowhere land….and with the
hate and vile anger you display nobody really cares.
If you can get some money together I’d love to bet you on this election.
But you ain’t got sh*t to show for a life lost in mediocrity and being a
big nothing
I did graduate from MU….and did a ton of charity work and non pay
work while there and for all the years after. Am proud to have worked
there during my time there.
What does chuckles the sad lonely vile clown have to show for his
life. NOTHING! And that’s what makes chuckles the sad lonely
vile clown so disgusting. Make up all the b.s. about my graduating from
MU. The diploma hangs on my office wall. Proudly.
tick…tick…tick….times up chucklets!
I get emails where the writers say you’re an angry old man. You’ve tried
to prove me wrong again and again. I challenge you to show me one
instance where I was wrong. You can’t! And that’s what sets off your
angry low life personality.
Now go away. The world doesn’t need you anymore!
p.s….while you were writing your crap Harley was doing double workouts.
Maybe try getting off the couch!
Donald Trump Wouldn’t Have Had the Ready Cash to Self-Finance Entire Campaign — Analysis
With Trump now moving to raise big sums, estimate of his 2016 income shows him likely short of the ready cash he would have needed to fund his entire campaign
By
Peter Grant and
Brody Mullins
Updated May 15, 2016 6:50 p.m. ET
Donald Trump, after long saying his self-financed campaign shielded him from special interests, is preparing to start raising large donations. He reversed course, he said in early May, to ensure his campaign has the resources to compete with Hillary Clinton
this story broke today. 7 months ago Harley pointed out that Trump had nowhere
near the cash needed to run a general election. My team knew this…no one
else reported on this but Harley. We know everything!
Twitter is next.
Then the BIG bomb hits the trump campaign. Harley told you here at kcc and other national blogs and news sites FIRST.
MORE TO COME! HARLEY KNOWS EVERYTHING!
BEWARE.
All work is noble Harley. Here is a quote from Mr. Gibran.
————————————————————————————————–
You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons,
and to step out of life’s procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.
Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth’s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret.
————————————————————————————————–
I don’t actually turn the earth as much as you think, but, when I do, I think that I am glad to be healthy enough to work physically and sweat a little for those I love.
you dig ditches for those you love?
boy are you messed up!
I’m sure the managers at loews think highly of you. Of course be careful.
They might hit you with one of their $18.99 when they see you back in the store.
“and to love life through labour is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret”
Please no more information on where you put those shovels! hahahahahahaha!
Harley, don’t get in a battle of wits with Chuck. You’re unarmed.
