He's a felon, she's a prosecutor. The only thing he knows about crime is how to commit it.

Goddamn, I hope she uses that line in the debate.

And he’s not very good at it.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

He's not very good at anything.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

He's good at being a fascist.

Unpopular opinion: he's pretty decent at it.

I'm not an asshole, so I don't even think of committing the crimes he's done, but I'm sure if I tried, I'd be in jail faster than a blink of an eye.

The fact that he's managed to do this repeatedly over the course of decades, out in the open where everyone is aware of it, and still only getting a slap on the wrist?

I'd say he's a pretty good crime guy

This has more to do with how ineffective the justice system is when it comes to the very rich.

Remember… he inherited his wealth. Even with all his crime… he’s still mostly failing. He just had a lot more cushion to fail on.

Also...

A set of Fox News polls find a close, two-way Kamala Harris-Donald Trump race: Harris is up by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead by 1 point in North Carolina. All are within the margin of sampling error.

Donald took credit for Obama's economy. He is a complete fuckup and a fractal failure at business. By fractal failure, I mean at every scale. Personal finance, company finance, all the way up.

Zoom in, zoom out: failure.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Oh he definitely has an edge on crime.

He would have the vast majority of the nation's wealth on his side, due to the tax cuts and permissions to strip-mine the environment. Having half the nations capital on his side translates to like twelve people in total but as we all know, corporations are people (when convenient) and the worth of people is measured in $$$.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
