You gotta admit that it would be great fun to watch if Trump decided that Tibet was his new pet project on social media and decided to give the Chinese govt crap over it!! :rolling:

I can see it now - Temple golf spas and condos branded 'Trump Tulku' all over Tibet and all the Dharmapalas repainted to carry a set of golf clubs and an AR-15.

I am very sceptical myself and there is much to be very concerned about with Trump and his path to power, but one thing is quite clear - people are all too eager to jump to extreme conclusions and imagine all sorts of apocalyptic scenarios about him. It happened two years ago and we haven't really learned since.

History will be the real judge. The past is replete with very imperfect leaders who achieved good things. Improbably as it is, this may just prove to be another such example.

Well, one thing is for certain: his wallet is certainly benefiting from this presidential term scam.

Even though in this present lifetime he is making dirty money.....the fact that he's even making money indicates good karma( generosity ) from the past (?)
Although he doesn't seem to be able to hold on to it for long....he certainly is setting himself up for trouble in his next incarnation....so would need to up the good karma & pure motivation for less suffering in the future....

I wish he had some good people to influence him more....like some Dzogchen or Buddhist practitioners in the White House.
Also...why isn't there a Dzogchen/Buddhist type political party ? Seems there are lots of you out there that love politics.....why not try to form your own political party ?

I know i'm an idealist/dreamer......
Sometimes to be awake is too depressing....

Did you check any of this, Mantrik? At least half looks like fake news to me on a cursory search. I think we should be very careful not to help spread fake news around - it inevitably serves an agenda that is very different to what it pretends to care about.

The US backed Saudi forces DID bomb the Doctors Without Borders cholera treatment facility in Yemen.

There is nothing fake about that piece of news.

The Saudis are guilty of all kinds of atrocities. The fact that the US broadly supports them, doesn't make the US the perpetrator. So yes, as stated, it is fake, even more than when the Russians were accused of shooting down MH17. At least in that instance, the pro-Russian separatists had much less independence and autonomy than the Saudi. But both accusations are false.

Usually stuff from the Free Thought Project has one or two tidbits of truth, and a lot of sensationalism and nonsense.

Honestly, though, the gist that shit is going down while people obsess over Trump is self evident - though some of these examples might be called into question.
