This is what
democracy is all about. It is from the people, of the people and for the
people. The people decide who among themselves should be the President of the
USA, and who is best able to look after their interests. This decision is not
to be decided by a small elite in Washington to protect their own backsides and
interests and to go around calling those that are against them ‘rogues’.
The
Republican leaders have been ganging up against Trump. They even staged
campaigns against him to prevent him from becoming their candidate for the
Presidency. What is Donald Trump’s crime? One, Trump is not one of them. Trump
is a self made man, a self made billionaire that needs not feed on the system to
get rich. Trump does not need to protect the system of greed and corruption.
Trump is against everything his Party stood for.
Trump is a
new man with new ideas and will dump the Party and all the cronies that have
enshrined themselves in the system as if they own America. Trump will change that,
Trump will change America to the good old days of the founding fathers.
According to
the NYT, the ‘Republicans have ruefully acknowledged they came to this dire
pass in no small part because of their own passivity.’ They should have learnt
from Singapore, invent a system to prevent ‘rogues’ to become President. This
would solve all their problems if they just label Trump a rogue. Unfortunately
it is too late.
But this is
the strength and essence of American democracy. The power rests on the people.
The people decide who they want to be their President, rogue or no rogue. No
small group of elite is going to change that. The people are in charge. They know
their rights in a democracy and the country belongs to them, not to the small
elite.
It is too
late for the Republicans to change anything. Even if they try, the Americans
would throw their idea out, including them. It is democracy, not autocracy, not
dictatorship, not a dynasty owns by the elite. The Americans are not daft
citizens. They think and act in their own interests.

The 70% sinkies are long gone been castrated by the 50 years of PAP rule that they are now so satisified to be eunchs to their Masters.
Singapore and US are no different. Both have only two political parties in the government.
It is necessary to try and put some safeguards into the way in which people use their votes to bargain, to coerce, to push, to jostle and get what they want without running the risk of losing the services of the government, because one day, by mistake, they will lose the services of the government... You unscramble Singapore, well, you'll never put Humpty Dumpty together again

The 240 year old country that is America (population 323 million) has not yet learnt from the 50 year old country that is Singapore (population 5.5 million).
The Americans will surely repent.
I have visited (Burma) and I know that there is only one instrument of government, and that is the army...If I were Aung San Suu Kyi, I think I'd rather be behind a fence and be a symbol than after two or three years, be found impotent.

The Burmese did not listen to the "ONLY SOURCE of WISDOM in the WORLD."
- they will surely repent in 2 years time
Luckily for us, 70% of Singaporeans still believe in the "ONLY SOURCE of WISDOM in the WORLD."
Hilary Clinton is extremely atrocious and it seems that she is on her way to presidency. Her state department presided the support of Islamo for regime change in Syria and Libya, which is as good as delivering the 2 countries to Jihadist.
She manage to control CIA but her evil plan was resisted by some Pentagon faction.
If Hilary got ascended to presidency, USA will become a bigger shit hole, losing respect all over the world. She will also transit to an oligarch state.
I do not think trump is good but at least Trump has shown to be firm on Islamo scum.
There are factions in USA who wanted to bomb Syria Assad so that ISIS win. That includes General Prataues, John Kerry and Hilary. Suspiciously, after delivering Lybia into Jihadist shit hole, the USA ambassador of Libya was killed.
Then Sunni clowns keep chemo-ing Syrian civilian. Immediately John Kerry accuse Assad of using chemo against civilian. The USA elites knew all along that it was the Sunni who are fuck up to like maggot, who used chemical weapons.
Obama is not that psycopath, and he eventually refuse to bomb Assad.
In America, anyone can run for the presidency. All you have to do is last the distance of the race, and CONvince the majority of voters to support your bid by taking appropriate action at the ballot.
Not so in Singapore. The PAP controls the game there. Ala' Lee Kuan Yew's policy: "No rogues in govt." "Rogues" in the Singapore context is ALWAYS someone from the OPPOSITION. So if you pose "a threat", you are summarily dispatched, and your political career is over.
People complain about this. Bleeding-heart liberal journalists frequently point this out in their "Singapore bashing" screeds.
But you have to be honest: it is a well-proven, highly effective piece of manipulation on a grand scale. Not even the US politicians could pull this off, but our gallant and "proactive" PAP most definitely can---over and over again.
Singapore's representative democracy is a form of "filtered" democratic process: the PAP govt. decides who is fit to run at the GE, and then the Sheeple make their "democratic choice".
At last count, 70% of the voters seem to like this sort of "democracy". I think the politics should fit the culture. Singaporeans ENJOY authority---because they don't have to think and make hard choices---the PAP will do it for them.
Hey don't knock it---bottom line: IT WORKS!
Too early to say it works when signs of cracking are evidence to naysayers. This is only the second generation of leadership after the emperor returned to dust. There is still the third and fourth generation before Sin mature
@ 109 hallucinations:
>> signs of cracking are evidence to naysayers <<
These "signs of cracking" are figments of your very negative 🚽 imagination. You have no objective proof.
On the other hand, the last GE gave the PAP a 70% majority. That is hard, cold prima facie evidence 🔬 based on irrefutable records of the electoral department, the world's press and media, and independent auditors.
Please show some proof of your "doomsday prediction". 💣
Try to defy the odds living in Sin
After everything peaked, what's next? Back to collecting straws?
You have nothing basically except concrete and human capital. The bricks and mortars are already at high risks and seriously, what's brilliant about sinkies? And worst, replaced by mercenaries and greying....
Add actors to the list of rogue president.
One has to be a rogue to be a politician. That is a minimum criteria. But the people should elect a rogue that can improve economy and employment rather than a rogue that promises to plunder the hardworking and give it to the lazy.
Just high class slaves and lower class slaves and those demoralised slaves who rather not work
Pay "lazy people" a million dollar they will wash toilet for you... No more lazy yeah?
A rogue government with rogue politicians will entrench thmeselves in power through unfair means . A rogue government will make the people work as financial slaves to pay and pay every day in every way through various means of high taxes legal or illegal like income tax, property tax, road tax,GST, CPF, minimum sum to be locked up for good, COEs, ERPs, medisave, medishield, eldershield ,medishield life and don't know what other ponzi shields they may have in store to suck peoples' money. A rogue government will pay themselves astronomical high sinful salaries of millions of dollars and gamble with the country's reserves in losing hundreds of billions of dollars every year in wasteful ventures in toxic American assets.
How about a ROGUE POPULATION?
I'm sure Singapore has enough ENTITLEMENT MINDED cry-babies by now ;-)
Chinko veritas cannot help bringing his favourite whipping boy Islamo into the picture. Even when it has nothing to do with it. The Nanyang-Nantah Chinese Chauvy movement which is the main driver of this blog run by an old bean, is able to influence the likes of vermintas.
You could call vermintas a chink of the old blog.
