(12,882 posts)You know - one could REALLY help all of us ignorant types if they'd compile a book of definitions for us to refer to. Seriously - WHEN is a proclamation or a promise just a phony (and forgiveable) enticement???
Make's me think of angler fish and the little deceptive lures they flaunt to attract prey close enough so's they can fleece them for campaign money.... oops, I got two types of predators confused there. See - THAT'S why us lesser sorts need a "playbook" to understand all this complicated lie..... er, persuasion tactics.
BTW, one example on the horizon is the secretive TPP trade agreement that's being hammered out. An agreement that looks like it might shake the very foundations of American ideals in the interests of serving the super-wealthy (yes, yet another instant replay). I'll be anxious to see how RIGHTCENTER UNDERGROUND crows about the outcome of that when it emerges from its cocoon.
Edit for typo...
