This is #mafia #fascism tactics. I hope #us economy leaders will realize how crazy #trump is and the will go against him.
I'm gonna have to confiscate these: ####.
Seriously, what can possibly make that worth adding?
Would you say it's your #1 complaint?
I would have until this comment :)
trump has had 6 companies go bankrupt he is not a good business man.
No, no, no. Don’t you see, making 6 companies go bankrupt makes Trumpy a very a good business man. /s
He's such an abysmally bad politician. Bungler. He's ruining the country.
He's supposed to be a businessman. How can he not understand that business doesn't work like that?
He is a businessman, but there was always debate about whether he was a good businessman. Judging by his casinos going bankrupt, I would consider him bad. Also see trump steaks, or trump university.
He's more of a conman, who fails at business.
He's still conning the suckers....
Is that.. is that a portrait of Reagan on the wall behind him? The man has no concept of irony..
May Reagan burn in hell.
Especially because that quote was to counter pressure to say that trade relations were invalid if one party wasn't protecting the environment and human rights (for example, by imposing slave-labor conditions on factory workers).
Oh 100% agreed, Reagan was a piece of shit, I just find it hilarious that Trump reveres a man who spoke openly against exactly what he's doing.
It's not just irony he has no knowledge of history. He know that Reagan said that. All he knows is that Reagan has an R beside his name and maybe possibly the words trickle down economics.
He know that Reagan said that.
Since we're talking about Trump I am 100% confident you are wrong on that.
He doesn't care about R, just ego.
Reagan also never used the words trickle down economics. Nor would pretty.much anyone Trump talks to. He wouldn't associate Reagan with that either.
I'm going to guess from context that they meant to write 'doesn't know', but..
It feels so gross upvoting a picture and quote from Reagan.
I felt pretty gross posting it, so, ya know, fair enough.
I cannot wait for that fat bastard to die. Plenty of much better, useful, kinder, loved, younger people die every day. Why can't we have some fucking justice?
Im worried that at this point, for all the destruction and permanent damage hes done, that we may just need him to stick around and break more things.
If he kicks off tomorrow, we could have this happen again. It all gets washed under the rug and hes replaced with more subtle powers. It only took 4 years for the majority of the usa to forget the first round of damage he caused, after all.
But then again, if he lasts too long, we risk never recovering.
There is a sick, nihilistic balance to all this now imo. I want a guarantee that we dont slip down this road again. And unfortunately more pain may be the only way to guarantee it for the next few generations.
I feel dirty even saying it. But in my gut, i believe it.
That's the sam brownback concept, but even though he was so terrible Kansas switched to a democratic governor they still voted Republican federally. So it's not like the real maga people will ever be contrite, they'll just blame people who hindered trump no matter what.
Yeah i think we will soon be far along enough that my personal feelings about this, in comparison to a random unpopular kansas govenor, are irrelevant and not a fair comparison. Its hardly a fair comparison right now.
I had to look up brownback tbh.
The "sam brownback concept" isnt a thing. But there are real examples of the yoyo slinging back hard enough to hit someone in the face and make them reconsider letting out the string again.
It was a case where they really let him put all the conservative tax policies in place and do everything he wanted and it went terribly. Rachel Maddow covered it pretty thoroughly.
I understand what you are saying. But i believe that it is not really representative of what is happening or needs to happen to the usa as a whole.
Brownback just wasnt strong enough of a virus to build immunity to this sickness.
He may have been an slight inoculation for some people, but the immune system as a whole went on and then forgot about the weak virus.
what is happening now is a bigger bug. Lets just hope the fever doesnt kill us.
