I really did t know much about him at that point, but tended to respect him because he was doing some interesting tech stuff. Then he went off the deep end about the cave rescue, without understanding ANYTHING about the situation, and I understood all at once who he really was. I haven’t seen anything since that would make me alter my perception. In fact, the more I learned about him, the more I realized that I was perfectly correct in realizing that his ego is far larger than his intellect.

More of a “broken clock is correct twice a day” kind of thing.

Call their bluff, every time. They’re always bluffing, they’re liars, it’s a MAGA core characteristic.

I love it when they spend a fortune, and lose anyway.

That’s why he wants that slush fund. He’s has his own little loyal army of soldiers that he knows will fight, and even go to prison for him. The next time, they’ll get paid.

He moves in, and immediately tears up half the place, and now he has to spend his entire term staring out at a big muddy hole. He’s such a redneck, the next thing will be wrestling matches in the front yard.

Just don’t let it happen again, over and over.

Naw, he’s doing this for the next guy. /S

I’m an old guy, and after a lifetime of getting buried by all the bullshit that both parties have shoveled, I’m embracing it. It’s even worse for young people today. I didn’t come out of college with a lifetime of student debt as big as a mortgage, with earning potential barely above a living wage, IF you’re lucky.

Our current system is unsustainable, but societal collapse is part of the business model for trillionaires, who can then take over, and reconfigure the world to suit them.

That’s Commie talk!

Not really, they just back commons sense reforms that are desperately needed in this country, and the DemSocs are the only ones that will even acknowledge them. If the Dems were doing their jobs, we would gladly back them, but they’ve given us no choice. If we want these perfectly normal things that the rest of the world has, then it’s the DemSocs that are the only chance of getting them.

“Read this, or get the death penalty, and we’ll make sure you die before Trump leave office.”

“What do you want me to say?”

Better to sit in prison a few years, and then try to get the next administration to kick the conviction for any number of DoJ improprieties.

Stalking or murder, either way, it’s life in prison.

Now if I get my hands on a Time Machine, I have to make a decision to go back and kill Hitler’s parents or kill Trump’s parents.

Clearly, there was a lot more going on than we’ve ever been told, and it was well-known at the highest level of our government for multiple administrations from BOTH parties. Both sides covered this up, and are STILL covering it up.

We need to expose ever tiny detail, and destroy whoever gets destroyed. It’s time to clean house of many years of accumulated scum, and if it destroys reputations and careers, that’s too bad. That’s what you get for covering for MONSTERS.

Yeah, when it comes to Epstein, multiple presidents from both parties have some splainin to do.

“Listen, I’m Hugh Hefner, but that guy is DEPRAVED!”

A single Sociopathic Oligarch could make each of those senators rich beyond their dreams without ever even noticing a blip in their bank account. And there are a LOT of Sociopathic Oligarchs. Somebody must have tried it, and probably succeeded for the most part.

When we finally take it back, we will have to HURT these people, so they will be afraid to do this again. And when they try again, we have to crush it early and decisively. They are stupid and violent, and cruelty is the ONLY thing they understand, so it is the only thing that will make them reconsider their actions. It is the proper thing to do to protect the lives of the rest of the good citizens of America. That’s whom we owe our empathy to, not to corrupt traitors/ racists/ pedophiles.
