DreamShipWrecked posted:I might have been misremembering from conspiracy Twitter, but didn't Trump's father play him and his siblings against each other for affection? It would explain a lot for how he treats his kids. A TV Western made an episode parodying Fred Trump and warning viewers of people like him -- see any resemblance?

Do you mean Daddy Koch made his children fight with swords while he watched, or made them compare dicks while he watched. quote:In private, Fred Koch “ruled the house with an iron fist” and faith in social Darwinism. Schulman recounts how the former boxer encouraged his sons to fight each other, sometimes with horrifying results. “During one bout, Bill bashed his twin over the head with a polo mallet,” Schulman writes. And “David still bears a scar from the time Bill pierced him in the back with a ceremonial sword.” Those early lessons left a deep imprint on the brothers. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/17/koch-brothers-book_n_5342694.html

glowing-fish posted:Pages back, but I think it has been a happy surprise to people from some countries that the government of the United States still functions when the President does not. Yea, there is a good chance that what Trump actually does is not so much harm the US, but harm the reputation and prestige of the US Presidency, which isn't that big of a deal as long as the US GOVERNMENT ITSELF gets back to a functional and beneficial entity for the people. The last several Presidencies have made the Executive far too powerful than the other branches and it needs some trimming as we are finding out with King Dipshit in the position now. We also need to destroy the Republican Party in its entirety, but that's a whole nother matter. Also bringing up a several pages back post, I can now see Trump berating and shaming his family on his deathbed when they're all circling him for whatever inheritance they may get. A whole lot of "none of you are as great and as big as me" bullshit and losing his train of thought constantly before basically burying himself with his money because "i earned it, you all mooched your way off ME" in the ultimate spin of irony.

There are actual three Koch bros, but the ones throw around all this dark money are the 2nd and 3rd sons. The eldest son got blackmailed by them and got his inheritance screwed/got a slightly smaller giant pile of money because he was probably gay.

Dietrich posted:Imagine, if you will, a world where California had 1,304 congressional representatives and 1306 electoral collage votes while Wyoming had 19 and 21 votes (based on the original congressional apportionment of one rep per 30,000 citizens), instead of the world we're living in where California has 53/55 and Wyoming has 1/3. A bigger issue is actually the winner take all nature of the electoral college. If every state got a number of electoral votes equal to their population, Donald Trump still would have won: pre:Sum of populations of Dem states: 134982448 Sum of populations of Rep states: 173763090 Gist if anyone wants to play with the numbers themselves.

What gets me about this isn't just the rank hypocrisy exhibited by the Republican Party, but that its defenders (like my boss) act like "blocking something because Obama wants it" is somehow exactly the same type of obstructionism as "blocking something because it's actually a heinous idea." BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME, YOU SEE

I have a acquaintance who voted for Trump, and over the weekend I asked him what his opinions were about Trump and family's weird not-blind-trust thing, a safeish topic I guess. His answer, and I quote word for word - "Well, Obama was a socialist." So then we talked about the weather.
