Theo works for the Trump White
House. With the constant attacks he and
the President gets from the general public and the media, he often finds
himself in bars. He still likes his job
but he needs something to take the edge off when he’s constantly fighting. The one thing that keeps him sane is that the
President is still non-violent. He tells
them only to defend themselves but don’t use physical violence in retaliation
for words. Theo has a temper but he was
always raised to never pick a fight but if someone picks a fight with him, give
it to them good. He had heard more
concise ways to say it; his favorite was, ‘don’t pick fights, end them.’ But
since the former was told to him by his grandmother, that’s the one he kept. He stops by a local bar for a drink. He’s shocked that with all the political
discussions he’s had here, nobody has protested the bar for serving him or
attacked him when they overhear him speaking with friends. This time, however, he is alone. When he’s walking to his car, however, he’s
going to come into trouble.
Ben is a college student at
Georgetown. Like many in the elite
schools, he is all knowledge and no knowing.
An analogy to explain the difference is knowledge understands a tomato
is a fruit but knowing is not adding tomatoes when you make a fruit salad. To put it abstractly, knowing is the
implication of knowledge. That is why
Theo defined intelligence as “the speed in which you take new knowledge and
understand the implications.” The more
implications you find added to the speed in which you realized them is your
intelligence factor. It’s by this
definition that he could call many people who excel in academia morons. Ben is the perfect example of why most
suicide bombers are highly educated. When you’re all knowledge and no knowing,
you are easily manipulated to doing stupid things. Ben is 5’11” and 160 pounds so he’s not
really an intimidating force. He and a
couple friends don Antifa masks and head out to harass conservatives. There are a group of conservatives peacefully
protesting for Donald Trump to ignore congress and use the treasury, military
and last year’s agreement with congress to build the full wall. It is unknown how much new wall has been
built. The Coulter conservatives list it
at 1.5 miles but most people say 50 miles.
It doesn’t matter, when conservatives gather, Antifa loves to provoke a
fight by bringing pepper spray, knives and sticks to physically assault them
provoking an incident knowing that the mainstream media will edit the videos to
make it seem like the conservatives struck first. Due to this, conservatives rarely fight back
and take the high road and instead block rather than engage. The small group of Antifa protestors use
bullhorns to call attention to them and they rush the protest screaming and
brandishing their sticks and pepper spray.
Unfortunately for Anitfa, these conservatives knew they were coming.
While organizing the protest,
volunteers were asked to form a human wall protecting the rest of the
protestors from outside interference.
All they brought were bats and goggles.
When the bullhorns sounded, the volunteers lined up in between the Antifa
members and the crowd and put their goggles on.
Predictably, the Antifa members, who are strangers to combat, still
sprayed their pepper spray not realizing that they were completely useless with
the goggles. This, however, did let the Antifa
members throw the first punch so to speak but made it much easier for the
retaliation. Most of the conservatives realized how inept their opponents were
and used their fists instead of the bats.
With one punch, most of the Antifa members took off running. Ben made the mistake of swinging the stick
and smacking a 6’4” 230 pound man in the face. The blow barely fazed him and he
jammed the bat into Ben’s stomach. Ben
keeled over in pain and the man lined the bat up with his brain stem and raised
it about to slam it down where Ben’s neck met his spine.
While Theo was walking, he saw
the small protest. You always knew which
were liberal protests and which were conservative protests because conservative
protests were quiet and liberals loud and obnoxious. The aftermath is always clear too because
liberals leave a big mess for the sanitation department to clean up whereas
conservatives clean up after themselves.
He saw Antifa get annihilated and scatter like mice at the first sign of
opposition. He looked in the corner and
saw cameramen from the protests filming the whole thing. He knew this was to counter the mainstream
media editing videos to lie to the public.
This was what Trump did. He
emboldened conservatives to defend themselves and fight back against the
goliath of mainstream media, academia and Hollywood. Although most of Antifa scattered, he noticed
one hunched over and a large man was raising a bat to finish him off. Theo had no doubt that the Antifa guy
deserved it but if they got seriously injured, it would look bad for the cause
so he ran up and grabbed the bat in the air and said, “Not worth it man, he’s a
snowflake, one blow is enough.”
The conservative looked down at
Ben and said, “Are you finished?”
Ben said, “Yes” and dropped to
his knees.
The large conservative shrugged
his shoulder and went back to protest as if nothing happened. Theo helped Ben to his feet and said, “Come
on, let me buy you a drink.”
Ben put an arm around Theo and
he half carried him to a bar. Theo
thought that being hit in the stomach should not mean you can’t walk but
ignored it. He sat him down and said,
“Why do you get involved in this shit?”
“No tolerance for the
intolerant.”
“You do realize that the brown
shirts and the black shirts did the same thing in Fascist Italy and NAZI
Germany right?”
“No, that was right wing
conservatives”
“What did the brown shirts and
black shirts do then?”
“They vandalized store owners
that didn’t fly the NAZI flag and attacked, maimed or killed anyone that didn’t
agree with them in Italy.”
“And how is that different from
what you’re doing?”
“Well, we’re on the right side”
“You don’t think the NAZI’s and
the Italian Fascists thought they were on the right side too?”
“Well…I mean….hey they attacked
us.”
“You know that you engaged them
first. It always happens. Stop lying to yourself.”
“Whatever, I can’t stand by as
Trump steals the election.”
“False.”
“What do you mean false?”
“Just pick a lie that you’ve
heard and I’ll tell you the real story.”
“The Russians hacked the DNC
server.”
“Yea, if the DNC server was
hacked, why wouldn’t they let the FBI look at them?”
“Well they wanted people who knew
what they were looking for, so they got Crowd Source because it’s a tech
company”
“So the FBI is too incompetent
to handle tech security?”
“Well no, but, a tech firm is
better. The FBI contracts outside help
all the time.”
“Yea but those outside firms
report to the FBI right?”
“Yea”
“So why did the FBI never see a
report from Crowdstrike? They only got a
draft, not the final findings.”
“Well, umm, I haven’t heard
that. Did you hear that on Fox News?”
“No, I read the Roger Stone
lawsuit.”
“Oh, he’s that Trump guy right?”
“Yes, house got raided but
unlike the other ones he didn’t cower to the FBI and fought back. Went to court so there was a discovery period
and it doesn’t look good for the FBI”
“So it said that they only had a
draft?”
“Yup, then the FBI made excuses
that they don’t have to prove that the DNC server was hacked because it’s
irrelevant to the case.”
“Well, that makes sense.”
“But, why would that be the
excuse? If they had the documents, why
not just show them rather than make it look suspicious”
“I don’t like all this
declassification stuff. Some things
should be classified.”
“Fine, but this isn’t
declassification, this is a court of law.
The prosecutors have said that they don’t possess the material that the
defendant seeks. The material was
provided to the government by counsel to the DNC with the remediation
information redacted.”
“Wait, so crowd source redacted
it from the FBI?”
“Yup”
“Alright, well, that’s a little
sketchy but I’m sure if the FBI didn’t press it, there was a reason.”
“Well, I lied, this was an
outside firm investigating Hillary’s collusion with Ukraine. The outside source redacted the findings to
the FBI.”
“That’s bullshit. The FBI hired them; they have a right to
know. You see Trump is covering shit
up. Most transparent president my ass.”
Theo smiled, “Actually that was
the lie; the truth was it was the DNC server hack information that crowd source
redacted to the FBI. Hopefully you see
now how biased you are. The correct
reaction was when I pretended it was Hillary information.”
“Fine, but I mean George
Papadopoulos solicited dirt from that Russian asset Mifsud.”
“Well, I can tell you all sort
of problems with that. If you Google
Mifsud, you’ll see he’s with western intelligence assets. But, I’ll just tell you to wait a couple
weeks. The Washington Post is about to
print a story that Mifsud is a friend of a friend of Jim Comey’s. They’ll spin it but basically they’re
admitting that Comey and the Obama administration set up Papadopoulos and
Trump.”
“How do you know this?”
“I work for the White House, we
get a heads up on shit.”
“Oh, so you’re the enemy”
“The enemy that stopped you from
getting your head bashed in by a bat. A
bashing you deserved by the way.”
“What do you mean? I was peacefully protesting the protest.”
“What were they protesting?”
Ben hesitated and said, “Doesn’t
matter”
“Yea, you don’t know. Just like when the FBI said that it didn’t
matter if the DNC Server was hacked in the Stone lawsuit. See, this is what people do when they don’t
have the information.”
“Okay, fine, but all your boy
talks about is how great the economy is doing.”
“Because it is.”
“You still have deficits. Bill
Clinton had a surplus so Hillary would have just done what Bill did so we would
have had a surplus.”
“Wow, that logic is
retarded. How old are you?”
“22”
“So, you weren’t even born when
Clinton took office in 1993.”
“No, but I can read about history.”
“Okay, read this table.” Theo
said as he pulled up the table from the US Treasury from 1993 – 2001.
Ben looks at the table and sees
the deficit go up every year. He
retorts, “But, why do they say that he had a surplus then.”
“There’s two funds. There’s inter-government and public. The public debt did go down but that’s only
because they took the money from social security to pay down the debt. So the inter-government debt increased more
than the public debt decreased so net effect, it went down.”
“Wait, so they stole the money
from social security?”
“Well, by law social security
has to use any surpluses to buy government bonds but the government is supposed
to pay that back but since they spent the money, they still haven’t”
“That’s a stupid law.”
“That, I agree with. It’s one of the many reasons social security
is bankrupt. Just so you know though,
Obama had historically high deficits and was the only president in modern
history not to average more than 3% growth.”
“Well, Obama’s gone”
“So we’re talking about Clinton,
who was two presidents before Obama?”
“Whatever. Trump’s tax cuts only helped the rich.”
“I’m guessing you’re still in
college and not working so you don’t have personal knowledge that you’re full
of shit.”
“What do you mean?”
“Even the New York Times wrote
an article on 4/14/19 “Face it you (probably) got a Tax Cut” Where they admit
that every income bracket got a tax break in every state. Yea the corporate revenue went down for a
little bit but then it recovered and the net revenue had record highs the two
years since. The two highest tax
revenues were 2017 & 2018.
“Well that’s spin if I’ve ever
heard it”
“How do you figure?”
“I don’t know, conservative
talking points are always lies.”
“You have that backwards but
you’ll crawl back to your professors and they’ll lie to you more.”
“Yea, I’m going back to those
people with PHD’s and many degrees and peer review studies. What do you have?”
“Real world experience and
common sense. Two things they
don’t.” Ben got up to leave and Theo
cried out, “Don’t go hitting people with sticks anymore. I won’t always be there to save you.”
Theo went to close his tab but
someone sat down next to him and declared, “So you work for Trump huh?”
Theo turned to see another younger
looking kid. Theo responded, “Yup.”
“You know that these tariffs
with China is going to bankrupt us. It’s
going to cause millions of jobs to be lost and lead to a huge recession”
“How many times does the
mainstream media have to make these ridiculous Doomesday predictions before you
people stop believing this nonsense.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Remember when everyone said
that if Trump gets rid of Net neutrality, you’ll have to spend an arm and a leg
to get an internet that will be slower.
Bandwith prices would skyrocket and all that jazz”
“Vaguely”
“You know why vaguely?”
“Why”
“Because they were wrong. Do you pay more for internet? Is it slower than what you remember five
years ago? Do you long for those days when
internet was cheap and fast?”
“It’s still cheap and fast”
“Exactly, it’s as cheap and
faster. But everyone just ignores that
all their prediction were wrong. The
Iran deal, global warming or climate change or whatever you call it now, it’s
all these chicken little sky is falling.
They never happen. Why do retards
still believe this shit?”
“I took a class about it”
“You took a class about how
China is going to bankrupt the United States because of the tariffs?”
“Yea”
“That just shows how ridiculous
colleges have gotten. But, people are
beginning to fight back.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you hear about Gibson’s
bakery and Oberlin College?”
“Yea”
“Yea, the bakery got awarded $
33 million because Oberlin encouraged riots against the bakery for stopping a
kid from trying to shoplift wine.”
“He tried to pay for it.”
“He wasn’t 21, it was illegal to
sell it to him.”
“Well, I don’t know the
specifics”
“I do, and the jury does too,
that’s why they got awarded what may be $44 million.”
“It was only 22”
“Ah, so you do know. However, you forgot the judge is deciding if
they need to pay the legal fees of Gibsons, which would bring it up to $ 44
million.”
“The maximum is $ 22 million”
“They may be exempt but 22-44
million is still a good fight back to these college indoctrination bullying
campaigns.”
“You don’t know the situation.”
“Yes I do, I grew up a half hour
from Oberlin. I even visited the
school. I didn’t go there but I’m aware
of it and I read the court documents.”
“So what did the court documents
say that the verdict didn’t?” the college student said disbelievingly.
“Oberlin actually said that they
were worried that the students in protest would throw bagels and muffins on the
ground and stomp on them. They were
worried about food fights in the cafeteria because Oberlin had a contract with
Gibson’s.”
“That’s a little ridiculous”
“Not more ridiculous than the
other Doomesday predictions you college kids believe.”
“Whatever, we’re adults.”
“Apparently the university
doesn’t think so. The Gibson’s lawyer,
however, said ‘is it a college or a nursery?”
“So the Oberlin lawyer was
incompetent”
“Oberlin has endowments of
billions of dollars they can afford good lawyers it was just indefensible. You are defending someone that thinks it’s
racism to stop a robbery and then get beat up for it.”
“Alright, so maybe that was
ridiculous but that’s just an anomaly, it doesn’t represent all us liberals.”
“What about the Black Hat’s
conference.”
“I didn’t hear about that.”
“Black Hat is a Cyber Security
company. They had a conference about
cyber intelligence. Their keynote
speaker was a guy named Will Hurd but then Axios protested him so they canceled
his speech.”
“Well it was probably for a good
reason”
“It’s because he’s pro-life.”
“Yea, so he’s anti-woman”
“What does abortion have to do
with Cyber security?”
“You can’t have haters
associated with your company.”
“That’s the problem, you people
think this. That’s why you need to be
destroyed.”
“You’re just not woke.”
“Woke just means you can’t think
for yourself nor can you think rationally.”
“Well, look how successful woke
people are.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your conservative protests
don’t work.”
“Really, look at the wrap. All your woke, identity politics movies did
horribly in the box office. Shaft, Dark
Phoenix, First Man, all tanked.”
“What did Dark Phoenix do?”
“Sansa Stark, the person who
plays Dark Phoenix, boycotted Georgia because of their pro-life bill.”
“Well, people are getting sick
of X-men.”
“That’s retarded. X-men were very big in marvel comics, it was
an arcade game that I played a lot, there were TV shows, it’s nostalgia for an
entire generation and they all turned against it because Sansa made it political.”
“That’s not her real name.”
“Her real name doesn’t
matter. She’s an idiot so she doesn’t
deserve to be called by her real name.”
“Well Trump said that he would
collude with foreigners again.”
“He didn’t collude before,
currently nor will he. He said that he’d
listen to them.”
“He wouldn’t tell the FBI”
“I know, I know, when
Republicans get information about Democrats, the entire intelligence community
needs to investigate him for treason but when Democrats get information about
Republicans then the intelligence community works for them and shouldn’t
investigate the president but instead take the information seriously.”
“We don’t have that hypocrisy”
“Look at Trump with..wait what
was the name of the Russian he colluded with?”
“ummm, Putin.”
“No, that wasn’t it. It’s always just Russians but Christopher
Steele admitted that he had Russian sources.
Their names are Trubnikov and Surnov.
Hillary colluded with Ukrainian president Viktor Porchenko for dirt on Manafort. Ukrainian company Burisma transferred
millions of dollars to Hunter Biden’s bank account and named Hunter a board
member even though he had no experience in working in energy. Burisma is only the largest energy company in
Ukraine. Then when the prosecutor
Lutsenko wanted to investigate this money laundering, then Vice President Joe
Biden said he would stop a billion dollars in aid to Ukraine unless they fire
Lutsenko. Biden actually bragged about
this. Ukraine did fire him. See, I can tell you names and specifics of
foreign information to Democrats but I’m sure you don’t care about that. Instead, you call hypothetical future
conversations with Russians ‘treason’ and ‘impeachable.’ If you can’t see the hypocrisy, I can’t help
you.”
The kid grabbed his beer and
threw it at Theo and walked away to celebrate with his friends. Theo ordered a pitcher and was surprised that
the bartender actually gave it to him.
He picked up the pitcher and walked over to the college kid and poured
the pitcher on him. The college kid
tensed up and screamed but Theo didn’t stop till the pitcher was empty. The college kid started crying and Theo
walked back to the bar where the bartender handed him his tab. The bartender said, “You’re done.”
Theo nodded, “Yea, I know” and
left a large tip and signed the receipt.
Theo walked out of the bar and went home with the kid
still crying about how wet he was. Theo
was wet too but he didn’t care. He took
the train home because if he got pulled over, smelling like beer was probably
not going to go well. His car was fine
till the morning when he would have to go back to work.
The more Theo dealt with college
students, the less faith he had in the future.
He tried to take solace that pretty much every generation says that
about the subsequent generation. Now,
however, they were dealing with socialists.
The non-socialists beat them in the 60s. Would history repeat
itself? Time will tell.
