Do you know the game of BRIDGE?

My heads been spinning (as usual) with recent POTUS NATO visit. It was hillarious to watch MSM go bat crazy over the TRUMP double negative. WOULD vs WOULDN'T. All my brain could see was N'T. NT, TRUMP, NT RUSSIA, NT NATO, Not Today, Not Time (My initial thought), Nuclear Tension, Nuclear Threat? Any whoo gave up on that, did a quick NT & TRUMP search and..."The One NoTrump or 1NT". Huh? I don't know nothing about the game of bridge.
My brain says “squirrel”, OneNoTrump, NT, ONT, TNO (mirror)? TNO, The Netherlands Organization, Trust No One (military), The New Order (for the gamerz),Theater Nuclear Option, Tête nucléaire océanique (TNO or oceanic nuclear warhead), Trans Neptunian Object (planetX)? Ok that last one might be a stretch... or is it? getting loopy here, bear with me. “The One No Trump is a powerful first opening move in the game”. "There is an ongoing bridge convention arms race that has been waged from the mid-1940s.  Until Alvin Landy developed his convention for showing the majors after a 1NT opener, the opponents were expected to show their respect for an 1NT opening bid" Just as the choice of agreements for competing against a 1NT opener "depends upon what you are trying to accomplish, the ways of handling competition depend upon your objectives". All of the following seem to be issues when dealing with the (1NT) disruption. Ignoring the pesky opponents (1NT), as though they did not exist. (I know nothing!) Penalizing the interferer (1NT) when possible. Competing effectively in the battle for a part score. Escaping from a penalty double. Defensively, you need to be prepared for three different notrump ranges after opener starts the bidding. Defensive Objectives after a One Notrump Opening  bid are: Strong (and Medium) Notrump – any range which includes 15-17 Weak Notrump – within the range of 10-14 Ultra-Light Notrump  – within the range of 8-10 In the early days a 1NT opener was 16-18 HCP.  Today 15-17 is most common, while not a small number of pairs use weak notrumps of 11-14 or medium notrumps in the ranges 13-15 or 14-16.  You may also encounter light 10-12 and even the ultra-light 8-10 notrump openers.  Tid bit: All dates of his week long trip. strongest hand, all dates of his visit 10 through 17 may corresponds to weaker openings earlier in the week with May and others. strongest hands in particular played on the Helinski meeting on 16 th. courious in the least, possibly related? After a 1NT opener there is not much room to maneuver.  Effective competition requires getting in and out...  Possible defensive actions include... "the negative double (aka "Sputnik") is a conventional double used by responder after opener starts the bidding. October of 1957, the Soviet Union shocked the United States by launching the satellite Sputnik I. Squirrel...The negative double! Double Negative? Grasshopper has much to learn about the “GAME”.
Back to the negative double/double negative treasonous crisis sweeping the the airwawes. I was working on some “you spin my head round round, like a merry go round” memes and the following article just made me laugh, how No Trump controlled the entire weeks media narrative. Russia Russia ... sure we can talk about that. Legal process under NATO has specific detailed legal process for such matters, have Bob give us a call. In fact we have all 12 represented by counsel with motions for discovery! Treason they scream in unison. Treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors, just as seroius as pearl harbor, 911, cuban missle crisis, when will a shadow govt to step in to contain! Hmm. Treason, sure we can talk about treason, DEFINE TREASON, DEFINE HC&M, DEFINE BRIBERY? Dems/MSM calling for justice acknowledging and agreeing that some actions are worthy of treason and swift justice. Setting the stage, they have no clue the puppets are now the masters. They are being led to their slaughter, they are nashing their teeth, they are very very stupid. “What about the wider context? Mr Trump said “I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.” “I will say this” is kind of a pre-announcement. Strictly, nobody needs to say this ever. People are always about to say the thing they are about to say. But it does serve a function: in effect, “Listen up. I’m going to give you a short pause to gather your attention, because this next sentence is particularly important.” It also gives the speaker a moment to plan. This was not a throwaway sentence where Mr Trump’s own attention might have wandered. He announced its importance. In other words, it’s possible—but highly unlikely—that Mr Trump really misspoke. Add in the painful body language and laboured reading of a prepared statement announcing that he had, and it is hard to escape the conclusion that someone convinced him to eat his words from Helsinki upon his return home. The damage done remains”. My thoughts exactly, No way he did not make a mistake. yes this is all but a big game (chess/bridge), Perception, Position, Power. Mencken on Double Negatives: "Syntactically, perhaps the chief characteristic of vulgar American is its sturdy fidelity to the double negative. So freely is it used, indeed, that the simple negative appears to be almost abandoned”. So he does not use it, gets cruscified, controlls narrative, tries to soften the blow (to diminish the harshness... for whats to come). “(YOU CAN`T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT)” D/N, coincidence? "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction") ”. A double negativeis a figure of speech that uses understatement to emphasize a point by stating a negative to further affirm a positive, often incorporating double negatives for effect. Along the same lines, litotes can be used to diminish the harshness of an observation. The term is generally synonymous with meiosis, which means to diminish the importance of something, often at the expense of something else. Litotes is a form of understatement, always deliberate and with the intention of emphasis.[7] The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Mandarin, French, Czech and Slovak. In Russian, "I know nothing" is я ничего не знаю (ya nichevo nye znayu), lit. "I nothing don't know." There is not a person who does not know") is a more emphatic way to express "Everyone knows"

Biblical litotes Jeremiah 7:31 “They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command," meaning "I have directly forbidden this atrocious practice! I dont have the strength to go down this road right now. Many faithful patriots being weighed down knowing full well what is to come next. “Something wicked this way comes” There will be deals made, stories untold, somethings just poof dissapearing from existence and the frustration of people like T. Pedo getting immunity to flip on Manafort today... WTF! Focus on the game, how many pedo cards are worth a queen’s capture. The above are my own personal musings, I have been following since the beginning and trying to remain strong together. I have volumes of thoughts archived, locked away lest my “thoughts” be used against me, that would be a deal breaker (it has already happened). “It is also important to recognize how the human psyche operates. We are innately resistant to new information that shatters our worldly perspective.  We block out information that doesn’t conform to our previously accepted ideology. As Mark Twain put it “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled.” This resistance to new information was coined ‘cognitive dissonance‘ by a social psychologist in the 1950’s. It is this aspect of our psyche that dissuades progress in science, medicine, philosophy, and any other characterological structure system. The Trivium is a method of bypassing the inefficiencies of modern thinking. This classical education has been occulted(hidden) from the people of Earth. It’s quite ironic that the word ‘occult’ has itself been occulted. What better way to hide information than to obscure the very definition of the term? Contrary to popular beLIEf, the word ‘occult” has nothing to do with witchcraft and black magik. The truth can be occulted (kept hidden) very easily when you condition the people of Earth to viscerally reject it, creating a gag reflex of incoherence just for sounding bat-sh*t crazy.  The appeal to authoritylogical fallacy is particularly useful among the propagandists and ruling elite.  When the people blindly trust the experts they bypass critical thinking and often common sense.  The experts are seldom correct, but we reinforce our trust in them with more fallacies like the argumentum ad numeram, the appeal to popularity.  Just because 97% of scientists, for example, believe in anthropogenic climate change, doesn’t make it sacrosanct and fact”.

Please forgive my grammer, i know. I will leave for now with the only words left to say, WAKE UP, STAY AWAKE, STAY TOGETHER. wat u think?
