Excellent concise summary

"What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”

They aren’t but they think they are

Leaving a plague of abandonment trauma in his wake.

Hope you are correct

Way too cheap. You’d think they would have the decency to demand a higher rate for their corruption. It makes it worse to know how cheaply they’ve sold us all out. I’d call them whores but I don’t want to insult whores.

This is the selfish narcissist core right here. He threw his wife under the bus rather than backing her up.

She’s really crazy, like mouth frothing crazy. Watch her eyes when she speaks. It’s blank in there.

A clsssic!

Why do I suddenly feel a meme coming on? 😅

Is it all C?

Hyperbolic comment at best, at worst part of a disinformation campaign.

He’s likely diagnosable with multiple personality disorders including narcissistic PD and antisocial PD. This is to say, he lacks empathy and sees it as a weakness to be exploited, and he has a severe deficit in representing other people’s perspectives. He is the main and only character that really matters and the rest of us are just NPCs.

Yeah, that’s right. I don’t mean to feed the trolls so thanks for the prompt. I just figure some might just be young, immortal, angry, traumatized and idealistic and not able to appreciate the negative consequences of their proposed actions.

…some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I just hope some semblance of democracy can continue as imperfect as it is.

So you’ll help elect Trump to show everyone how pure you are and then tell the moderates it was their fault? That sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Trump WILL hurt you and the causes you care about in a worse and more permanent way than the alternative. Yes the choices are shit. There’s still a meaningful choice.

Edit: Maybe a better way to ask the question would be what would you need to be able to sign on to the less shitty choice, keeping in mind that too much leaning in your direction will shear off the more conservative moderates at the other end of the Democratic coalition. There is strength in unity. Unions teach us that.

What’s the better play? Voting for third party candidates tends to split the vote and empower the farther right candidates, no?

You just engaged.

Laying people off is a way to juice the stock price in the short term. So perhaps the “economy is booming” because of the layoffs?
