Keep Your Finger OFF the Trigger!

You have to know the difference between WHEN to pull the trigger and WHEN to release the hammer.
There’s nothing more tragic, dangerous and deadly than an accidental shot.

You simply cannot keep reaching for a symbolic “gun” – that you don’t know how to use – in a blatantly obvious attempt to scare people into your way of thinking.
It will not work.
You will only hurt YOURSELF.
If you and your cause and agenda have committed a fatal error in your planning and overall thinking, YOU MUST OWN THAT MISTAKE.
You MUST take responsibility for your decisions and your actions and OWN them, quite simply because they are YOUR fault and YOUR doing and NO ONE ELSE is to blame.
If you flat-out refuse to own it, you will LOSE and you will LOSE every fight, every battle.
YOU WILL NOT WIN. YOU WILL NEVER WIN.
Stop the incessant finger pointing.
Stop the incessant lies and half-truths.
Stop the childish foot-stomping and grandstanding in support of flagrant, one-sided propaganda.
And yes…every bit of it is flagrant, one-sided propaganda.
Every bit of good that makes its way to the sunshine is immediately pushed off to the side for the next accusation against THE ONES WHO WON.
Own the situation that YOU dug YOURSELF into and own the state of affairs that YOU brought upon YOURSELF and take your finger off the trigger.
You will only hurt YOURSELF because you have NO CLUE how to shoot that “gun”. No concept of how to regroup, change and improve yourself or your agenda.
You look to all the world as nothing more than spoiled, narrow-minded children throwing tantrums…and screaming almost as recklessly.
Oh, do I ever miss the days of the ‘proper villain’!
We didn’t get the ‘proper villain’ this time around.
No, we got a bunch of sour, sore-losing whiners.
At least a ‘proper villain’ keeps life interesting and not just bleak.
No one enjoys being on the losing end, but at the very least, a ‘proper villain’ will dust himself off, think to himself, “Well, that didn’t work!” and set about finding a DIFFERENT way to try to win.
A ‘proper villain’ is NEVER going to let you hear so much as a whimper when they lose – it’s much wiser to keep the opposition in the dark for as long as possible.
A ‘proper villain’ will only throw around a child’s histrionics if – and only if – they are a calculated part of his new plan. But then again, a child would never know this, would he?
There is without a doubt, a very grudging respect for the ‘proper villain’ in a serious game of ‘good guys and bad guys’.
The game will always play out better if there is some modicum of respect involved.
Today, there is none to be had.
It’s not respect because they play fair or give an inch, no…it’s because they know the game and they play the game. At the very least, you can rely upon them for that!
They know when the cause is lost without having to attempt to decimate an economy.
They know when their arguments have fallen on stone-cold deaf ears, and that’s when they stop talking.
They know when to form alliances in favor of faulty, already-compromised skirmish lines that are no stronger than thread.
They know how to use the “gun”.
They know exactly WHEN to pull the trigger and not a second before.
Most importantly, they KNOW exactly when it’s better to holster that “gun” so that it doesn’t shoot them in the foot.
Oh, do I ever miss the days of the ‘proper villain’!
But those days are apparently long gone. Those days seem like so much smoke from a pipe dream. These days we’re faced with elderly men and women parading around like children because they didn’t get THEIR way…and “to hell with all of you for not listening to us!”
They’ve even resorted to attempted shaming of The People for NOT wanting to give up their hard-earned money to the government in exorbitant taxes. GASP! THE UNMITIGATED GAUL OF THE PEOPLE!
They’re trying to shame those same People who are still living with the damages of a compromised economy caused by those very individuals trying to shame them!
Bottom line is…
PUT THE GUN DOWN BEFORE YOU SERIOUSLY HURT YOURSELF!
You’ve already done everything you can to hurt everyone around you, there’s really no need to shoot yourselves in both feet, multiple times.
Your game plan failed.
Your agenda failed.
Your ‘new normal’ failed.

Your false and inflated accusations failed.
Your attempts to discredit and destroy people and companies and institutions failed.
And now, the vast majority of The People, and in fact much of the free world are grudgingly beginning to admit that to themselves – in spite of the creeping claims that “everyone is behind you”. (And incidentally, that is unequivocally NOT the case.)
YOU LOST.
Get over it and get back to business.
I’ve always said that “if you did not do it, then you do not know it”.
Too many people believe the exact opposite…and they fail accordingly.
These sore losers never believed for a second that they would EVER have anything other than total control for the rest of time.
They never created an agenda and plan before, so they did not know how to go about it.
The agenda and the plan would appear to have been laid out FOR THEM by the absolute absence of any hint of common sense they now display.
Because they did not do, they did not know…they did not know that their agenda was nothing more than stinking wisps of smoke in the air.
They did not do it, they do not know it, and THAT is bad enough for someone in a position of power over The People.
But it is SO much worse to not even give a damn about the consequences of those actions.
Just the fact that they would dare to attempt shame upon The People for not acquiescing to the agenda tells all you’ll ever need to know about them.
There is a fingertip shaking violently on top of a hair-trigger when the hammer should have already been released and the “gun” should have already been holstered.
You don’t have to love – or even like – the way the world is, but you certainly don’t have to work every breathing second of every endless day working so hard to destroy it for The People who DO love it.
No one has the right to pull that trigger. NO ONE.
If you’re gonna play the game, learn how to play it first.
You MUST take responsibility for your decisions and your actions and OWN them, quite simply because they are YOUR fault and YOUR doing and NO ONE ELSE is to blame.
If you flat-out refuse to own it, you will LOSE and you will LOSE every fight, every battle.
YOU WILL NOT WIN. YOU WILL NEVER WIN.
Ease that finger off the trigger.
Ease that hammer back down.
Ease that “gun” back into its holster.
AND LEAVE THAT GODDAMN “GUN” IN THAT HOLSTER BEFORE YOU SERIOUSLY HURT YOURSELF!
