They're not a Trojan Horse. They're just the Trojans, they knocked on the gates and said "yes hello we would like to come in to rape your women and children, pillage your valuables, and destroy the city." And the citizens said "hmm yes eggs are a bit expensive" and decided to open the gates to willingly let them in.
That's the Greeks, not the Trojans in the Iliad. But yes, The rest of your statement is correct, it's just the Greeks were at the gates of Troy, not the Trojans.
Well, some of the citizens did.
I don’t know if Thom Hartmann just posts to multiple sites or if “AlterNet” is just reposting his original article from the Daily Kos, but he posted it there first and there doesn’t seem to be a paywall.
But I’m halfway in and this article is wild. A lot of these things we’ve all heard about or maybe forgotten, so it’s nice to see Trump‘s history laid out concisely. Wild stuff - I totally forgot that his ex-wife is buried on one of his golf courses and died by…falling down the stairs, of course.
Of course she fell down the stairs, the windowsills were all getting painted that day! Do want to not pay a painter for another days work..?!
Well, the US for all intents and purposes is owned by Russia now. Of course Putin's goal is to collapse it, and every Republican is working for him.
Putin will declare war on US. Trump immediately surrenders. Putin annexes the US. Then invades Canada and Mexico.
That’s the intent, Republicans have never liked the U.S. or anything it stands for, they’re only self-interested
never
Well…
After the MAGA people realized that their politicians collapsed the United States comes the...
Save America Falling Again (SAFA)
They'll never realize that. It'll always be the Democrat's fault. It doesn't matter if the Republicans control every aspect of the government, it'll be someone else's fault.
It there’s no democrats to blame, then it will be because not enough brown people were deported. If there are no brown people left to blame then it will be because the nation isn’t ’christian’ enough
Paywalled, can you dump the text?
Archive.ph is my new goto to avoid paywalls
I really wish their was a bot that would auto generate links for us.
Here’s a cool trick,
Create a bookmark for archive.ph then go in and edit the destination to the following:
javascript:void(open('http://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
Now, anytime you are on a page that is paywalled, select this bookmark and it will automatically send the current page to archive.ph and give you the non paywalled copy.
Normally, 12ft.io works, you just need to put the url after theirs and will get a non paywalled link, like this https://12ft.io/https://www.alternet.org/alternet-exclusives/trump-trojan-horse/
Otherwise, use ublook and block javascript, it will work most of the times
Is this the actual vehicle? Because a Trojan horse implies it isn't immediately obvious from like 2 fucking years ago ..
