I desperately want Trump to assign a higher-priority role to Pence. If he just lurks in the background he'll get to come in looking like a grown-up when Trump leaves office. He needs to catch some poo poo splatter.

I'm hoping some of this stuff finally starts to matter. And ideally around mid-terms. But then again, LOL at the idea of the Democrats successfully capitalizing on any of this or demonstrating any type of competence.

Nah the pres can pretty much take the country off to war by himself these days. There were supposed to be checks and balances but no one cared when those got crushed, so now Trump. :patriot:

I don't think we have german trader joes. You probably went to the german ocean state job lot.

While you're in nyc, go to McSorley's. It still looks exactly like it did in that picture of Woody Gutherie, so you can imagine him standing by the stove singing songs about Trump's dad.

It's like how senile old people get stuck in time upstairs and can't figure out that their husband actually died 24 years ago and isn't still alive. He's brain passed dementia line back on The Apprentice and now he's stuck in that mentality forever.

I can't begin to imagine how the electronic system isn't better, faster, safer, and more reliable. It's like the most basic program you can possibly write and should never need any kind up updating except a new list of names every so often. Maybe it's in the transmission of the data? But even then, how can we have secure credit card transactions all the time, but can't handle this? If you're really worried, you can physically hand over the data or something.

Digital attacks can scale upwards easily due to by network and programming.paper ballots are less susceptible​ to voter fraud because one person can only do so much damage

lol if you still think Trump is actually senile or dementia addled

don't be complicit in excuses like that

Donald Trump is a sane, rational man - fully in command of his mind and body - who is consciously going about the duties associated with the office of the President of the United States of America.

Yeah, I expect a lot of "my opinion on that is.." and "I'm not able to answer that" responses. If anyone expects him to stand up, flip the table over, and roar "I'VE SEEN THE PISS TAPE!" you're going to be disappointed.

With the tax return stuff I am beginning to think more and more that Trump is living the wealthy version of living paycheck to paycheck, that it's all a financial house of cards. Like why else would someone worth billions or even hundreds of millions care so much about money going to charity?

yellowD posted:

Was just about to make that point. A real billionaire wouldn't be grifting for 200k. You'd make that in investment interest in a day*.

*assuming 5% return on 1b invested, it's more like 137k

It could be that Trump, like a whole lot of other insanely wealthy people, doesn't see the money as money anymore, but as a way of keeping score. Rack up as many points as you can on every deal to show you are the best.

Or, like Three Olives says, he is indeed leveraged to the hilt and is essentially living one day at a time with what essentially are "small-time" scams and cons.
