It's like the Bush years, but worse. By God, I forgot how it felt during those eight years where you could just go "America, right?" and the other person would roll their eyes, and you'd laugh.

Then I think about how Bush would gently caress things up like, every other month or so, and everyone would laugh and call him the worst president ever. For not being able to pronounce "nuclear" or for giving a toaster to the Queen. How innocent we were. Trump has done more in 100 days to ruin the USA than Bush managed in two terms, and it can only get worse as bunker mentality, dementia and a Republican held house + senate works it's magic like some kind of Lovecraftian primordial ooze of terribleness. lol!

I have the best cars. My cars will be so tremendous for your family compared to that failing previous car. My cars will get such good fuel economy, believe me. That other dealership says they have better deals but those are FAKE CLAIMS. My uncle had a tremendous, tremendous car dealership. My deals are so good, I'm going to get minorities to pay for it for you.

The United States of America, the self-proclaimed greatest and freest democracy on earth and the world's dominant and later sole superpower that has been dominating and shaping the world for the last 70 years not only elected a literal retard for president because his ratings in reality TV were so great, they also gave total dominance over all branches of government to a party so comically evil that they just voted to consign thousands of Americans to a painful death and millions more to decide between health and abject poverty, only to celebrate the passing of that bill with a serving of ice cold pisswater swill right there in parliament. Now America's only hope is that everybody involved is too dumb to actually follow through with that (which isn't even that farfetched a hope), while a significant part of the American populace - invariably those that would be hit the hardest by those legislative measures - cheer these same death cult politicians on in blind fanaticism.

In the recent comics Starscream manages to con his way into winning an election and becomes the leader of all Transformers. Turns out it's really hard, complicated and no fun. Since he's utterly incompetent as a leader and slightly insane he delegates most of the decisions to a Decepticon that turns into a giant rat.

States can vote to allow insurance providers to opt out of preexisting conditions, as well as stop providing to current mandatory standards of care (i.e. being able to go to the emergency room, have a baby, get medications, you name it).

Ivanka's book is uh.....not receiving the warmest welcome from critics lol

quote:

“Women Who Work” is mostly composed of artless jargon (“All women benefit immeasurably by architecting their lives”) and inspirational quotes you might find by Googling “inspirational quotes.” Her exhortations feel even emptier than usual in light of Trump’s stated policy goals. “We must fight for ourselves, for our rights not just as workers but also as women,” Ivanka writes, and, elsewhere, “Honor yourself by exploring the kind of life you deserve.” The imagined audience for the book is so rarefied that Ivanka confidently calls paying bills and buying groceries “not enormously impactful” to one’s daily productivity. Her nannies are mentioned twice, if you count the acknowledgments; no other household help is alluded to at all. On the book’s second-to-last page, she finally, briefly mentions the need for paid leave and affordable childcare.

quote:

What’s more striking is that the book fails even to get its own story straight: Which came first, Ivanka’s women’s-empowerment initiative or her desire to sell more shoes? The initiative evolved “very organically,” she writes. And yet throughout the book she reverts to the tone of a pitch deck: “I designed my company around a larger mission. Whether you’re trying on a pair of my heels or perusing my Web site for interviewing tips, my ‘why’ is to provide you—a woman who works—with solutions and inspiration.” A few pages later, she describes her entry into the fashion business as a “market opportunity . . . ready to be seized.” The book ultimately doesn’t try very hard to obscure the fact that the Women Who Work initiative was created, as the Times recently reported, as a way to make Ivanka products more marketable. She seems unwilling to acknowledge—if this is something that she has even grasped in the first place—that there could, hypothetically, be a difference between what’s good for women and what’s good for her brand.

I would rather him die of a flesh eating bacteria, and we are not going to see him jailed for the poo poo he did.
And so the next best thing is watching him squirm and hate whatever he is doing.
And so yeah, better than letting him slink away after the Brexit fiasco.
