32·11 hours agoI’ve been hoping for his people to see the light since 2015.
They stuck with him when he admitted that Trump University was a scam…
They stuck with him when Mexico didn’t pay for the Wall…
They stuck with him when a million people died of Covid…
I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it’s just black glass. Inside it’s all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.
Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new
Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump’s own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.
Bonus- there’s a guest apperance by John Barron!!

Pistols at dawn!
Downvoted because you didn’t post Erin Grey in spandex.

Historical context.
Inflation started becoming a problem in the late 1960s. LBJ wanted to have a massive Vietnam War without raising taxes, so he printed money. Nixon ran as a ‘peace candidate’ and then tripled down on Johnson’s policies. For a while, running the steel mills 24/7 to make bombs was popular with the Unions and Wall Street, but when the Arab Oil boycott hit everything went off the rails.
Jimmy Carter hire Paul Volker to run the Fed; Volker’s plan worked but Carter lost in 1980 and Reagan got the credit. Worse, Reagan let the banks print money to fund the ‘go-go’ 1980s.
In 1968, middle class was one income supporting a family of four. In 1992, when Bush Sr. was done, ‘middle class’ was two incomes. During the same time, $1 million went from being a vast fortune to what a rich guy paid for a party.
Sorry, for these Gen Z kids, that box is unTicked.
Get it? Box? Tick?
You gotta keep up, boy!
Yes, because if we don’t vote for the Dems then Trump will be too ashamed to go on being President, right?
Context, boy, context! It’s not good without context!!
1·2 days agoOh, lenny, you’re so funny.
You claim that in a debate you’d be a tireless fighter in a debate, but one question from me has you running out the door. Thank goodness there are real Socialists out there who we can rely on. Farewell, little keyboard warrior. And I promise not to reply, so you can have the last word and a big win!
[off topic?]
All the body parts were arguing over who was the most important. The Brain said that she was, but the Hands pointed out that they did all the work. The Heart and the Lungs said they were the most vital, but the Stomach pointed out that without food, they’d all be dead. It went on and on until the Asshole spoke up. “Why shouldn’t I be in charge?”
Everyone had a good laugh and the Asshole got mad. She shut down. A week went by and the Brain was dizzy, the Heart was pounding, the Lungs were panting, and the Hands were shaking. Finally everybody agreed to let the Asshole be the one in charge.
And the moral of the story is that any Asshole can be the boss.
If Bush Jr. had gotten bin-Ladn on January 15, 2009 he’d still be taking victory laps.
So, you can’t actually defend your position in any rational way.
Thanks for proving my point.
And you think your opponents won’t mischaracterize you?
Leave the ivory tower and look at the real world.
Politics is a dirty game at the best of times. People lie, steal, cheat, and connive on a daily basis.
“This is a policy Eisenhower endorsed in 1956. Are you saying Ike was a Communist?”
So, your plan is to waste debate time and call yourself a Socialist.
Why not do something like say “This is what Ike backed back when he was President. Are you calling Ike a Communist?”
That’s the amazing thing about Trump.
No matter how low the bar is, he always manages to be worse than you could imagine.
