Okay, SDMB conservatards. Come out of hiding and show yer fuckin…usernames. Answer for your vote. You voted someone who’s utterly fucking insane into office. Voting in that in-bred wet brain GWB into power and wrecking the economy wasn’t enough. No, you fuckers had to double down with this shit ass.
That being said, Trump does operate within parameters. Or I should say parameter, as he only has one: *What will give him money and/or praise[?/i] Does it hurt someone? Not an issue! Is it illegal? Not an issue!
Oh, we’re seeing how shit works. Trump is shit. That’s all he is.
:D:D
Nice touch using the Deutsche Schreibweise.
I honestly lost track during the eight years of the last real presidency. Didn’t the loony 'luplikins accuse Obama of just that?
Жуче
That’s using the Russian script for Korean. Fitting seeing as Tan the Conman has a Russian dictator master and is “in love with” a North Korean dictator.
I wonder what’s going to happen first: Tan the Conman orders Canadian companies to do business only with America or he says America’s going to buy Canada. (After all, Canada is “The Great White North”. He just has to love that: great and white.
This is absolutely no different than the *inspection tours" that NK’s leaders do.
Yep. I wonder if Trump is even aware that if he benefits from something but it actually harms somene/is illegal, “but it’s good for me” is not an excuse to do it.
I’m not convinced the SOB understands how money works.
Would that were possible.
“What do you mean ‘legitimate purposes’? It can’t be both legal and bad at the same time. Look at me. I’m in perfect health. The Navy doctor says so. The best Navy in the world since I became president. Before that under lying Obama it wasn’t. Nobody knew! I mean nobody!!! I’ve never had cancer. And now I don’t have to worry about it. That’s why my administration is going to cure cancer. Why didn’t anyone think of this before me? Only the best mind could think of that. The BEST MIND!!! And why did they get cancer? It’s because the invaders from all those Mexican countries are bringing all kinds of diseases. If you get cancer since my adminisration has cured it it’s your fault! Why would get cancer when, and my doctors will be showing the incompetent doctors who didn’t even think of it, what that cure is. They’re going to do that, maybe not in two or three weeks, but maybe at the right time. And we’re running out of time. Those illegals are sucking money from America. And when I say America, I mean Trump. They’re taking my money! Now they want more free health care while they’re locked up by the Boder Patrol. The best border patrol. The best! And those wonderful guys, who speak Great ENGLISH, patrol the BEST BODRDER in the world. And it’s the best because I’m president. Remember if it says “TRUMP” it’s the best. Only the best. Only the best people. And what do you mean “short”? Nothing on me is short. I’m taller than any other president. And nothing, not even my fingers, are short. And my writing is better than any English professor. That’s why universities use my book. Only the best book. Thta’s why I only wrote one. And that’s what America’s about: selling. Remember that. Remember that so you can buy the president again in 2020 and maybe again and again after that!”
Scientology is still a thing, and Hubbard has been dead for over 30 years. Admittedly, Trump has not started a formal religion, but he’s also got a lot more people in the cult.
Time to lock up conservatives. Time to throw them in jail. We need a gofundme to purchase land in Nevada so that we can build those education camps!!!
p.s. Fuck you Hurricane SHITka! I don’t care if you think “OMG! Dangerous!” Your fucking stupidity is fucking dangerous. Fuck you all, you fucking beggars.
The difference between a cult and a religion is that, in a cult there is a person at the top who knows it’s all bullshit, and in a religion that person is dead.
From housing discrimination to the Central Park Five to the Birther foulness to shithole countries to Charlottesville to The Squad, Trump has amply proven himself a racist scumbag. What, we’re supposed to give him the benefit of the doubt?
And it doesn’t actually matter if he really “wins” or not, he’ll just say he did and give himself a trophy.
By most accounts he’s lost more in the private sector than he’s gained, and he is doing it now with our country.
It’s like gambling addiction. You get a big win from time to time, and that more than justifies the small (and big) losses, even if it doesn’t actually compensate for them.
He’s a loser at business. Every business he’s touched has died. He has made money by working for a TV network as a reality TV host, he’s gotten people to pay him royalties for the use of his name, and of course he skims a bit off the top from the Russian, human trafficking, and terrorist money laundering he allegedly runs.
His only successes are when he can bully someone smaller, when he can lean on and intimidate them into submission. That’s how he gets out of paying contractors other small businesses that he does business with. And that’s a win.
When he can’t bully, he tantrums, and less out of pity and more that he’s incessantly annoying, they buy him his damn lunch box and then fuck his mother. He calls that a win.
I don’t know if you stroked out while writing that, or I had an aneurysm reading it, but at least one of us could probably get a prescription for it now.
I dunno, I banking on it being with less style. I just don’t see him inspire the same levels of loyalty and hate as Trump does. I could be wrong, but when you know the devil you know is going to kill you, then the devil you don’t know is worth a shot.
I just don’t see Pence as being as dangerous as a wannabe fascist dictator.
We’re not going to get to handmaiden’s tale with a generous dozen months left in a Pence term. We may have far more immediate and long lasting consequences in that time left by a senile bully with delusions of competency.
Successfully using impeachment or the 25th would mean that public sentiment had gone pretty strongly against Trump, and what’s left of the base would disapprove of Pence for collaborating with the govt that performed a coup on their chosen one.
My only objection to removing Trump is the practicality of it. That’s a hard thing to do, and for good reason. We shouldn’t be removing presidents just because they are unpopular, but though there will always be true believers, with every breakdown of sanity that Trump throws into the public, some are becoming more and more aware that this is not a person who should be in this job.
The deplorables will form a couple of cults and compounds, realize that it sucks and slink their way back into society.
Is there any chance that this trade war could eventually benefit the US and cause China to make some concessions? I don’t know anything about economics, but I’ve read that it is hurting China. Is there an historical precendent for this working? The only thing I know historically about tarrifs were Hoover’s after the crash, which were a disaster and made things much worse.
If it could work, how long might it take and how much would it hurt the US consumer?
If it can’t work, what should we should we doing about the trade imbalance with China?
No, not at all. I’m not saying that he doesn’t hate minorities and treat them with contempt, I’m just saying that he hates everyone and treats everyone with contempt. That minorities are an easy target for him to lash out at is convenient, and reflexive.
I’m not defending him, and I’m not saying that he does not do racist things. I am saying that he worse than a racist. A racist at least looks out “for his own”, Trump looks out for no one but himself. If enabling racists gives him an advantage, he will enable racists. If for some reason enabling racists actually did not reward him, and by reward, I do not mean that it works out in the net positive as any attention is a reward unto itself, then he would object to it. But, he gets rewarded for doing racist things, so he continues doing them.
I’m not saying that calling Trump a racist is wrong, I’m just saying that it’s like calling Jeffery Dahmer hungry.
