It's sobering that even during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the majority of America still wasn't ready to embrace economic populism and accept that the capital class was robbing them left, right, and sideways. Even for those that did acknowledge it, many still clung to the mantle of the embarrassed millionaire, convinced that if they just worked hard enough they could win at a rigged game.
Human psychology is much more concerned with not being last than it is being first. Last-place aversion means that those in the middle focus their attention on making sure somebody is beneath them rather than worrying about the ones above them.

And if I did do it, it was legal.
And if was illegal, I only did it lightly.
And if it did happen, it was low level staffers and people I don’t talk to, like my son and campaign manager.
And besides, of it was so bad, why didn’t Obama stop me doing it?

Just watched a Mastercard commercial where a woman on hidden camera thought she was getting fired for taking a day off, then started crying because MC gave her a real vacation. This country sucks.

This is worse than that car commercial where the guy said America was great since we don't take time off from work like those lazy Europeans.

While everything else in your quote is more or less true, I was under the impression that we had Joe Manchin to thank for the death of the public option, as they couldn’t get him to vote yes on an ACA with the option.

Also I’m pretty sure a few folks I know would be dead without the ACA’s pre-existing conditions clause so I hardly fault Obama for a flawed but ultimately good bill. :colbert:

At this point you could make Trump's tweets into a character on the Magical World of Gumball. It's a muppet corncob that constantly gets owned and rolled from one scene to the next, always angrily yelling about how everything's going legal & cool and that anyone who doubted him must really be embarrassed now, as one of the other characters dunks him in front of the bus and he gets launched off into the sunset or something.

I had one of those dumb cable streaming packages that automatically included the 24-hour news networks and boy howdy did I feel like a shitbag for having even a cent of my subscription fees go to Fox News and CNN. Jesus, they’re terrible.

Also, I :toxx: for the Trump family indictment thing today, I’ll do $10 to RAINN and $10 to MSF (the cool name for Doctors Without Borders, ya’ll should use it) if they get one of those scumbags.

Edit: to clarify, that’s anybody in the Trump family.

The finality of the things conspiratorially dropped in a timeframe immediately relevant to Trump's written testimonial, along with the incidental nature of this Friday, and all that.

It's no sure thing, and I'd have been almost certain that "the day where trump truly became ex-presidential" would be coming more or less after the Democrats controlled the house committees, but it's not like this timeline is under any obligation to make sense, after all.

This is what's so hilarious to me. No one on our side of the aisle likes CNN either; only difference is we've hated them for longer because they've spent so much time kissing right-wing rear end. Now, just because they don't do it to the degree Fox does, all of a sudden they have become the Liberal Fake News. Before I deleted my Facebook account, every chud I argued with would always default to "HURRRRRR YOU STUPID LIBS GET ALL YOUR NEWS FROM FAKE NEWS CNN!!!"

I just don't get it.

I like the comments being filled with wall to wall people that think if you work hard you get all this poo poo, despite none of them actually having super nice houses and Cadillacs. Then they tell all the Europeans to suck it even though you'd be a fool to take 99% of modern Cadillacs over a German or Italian luxury car.

Trump, desperate to change the narrative, just did this, and christ knows what he gave up to get a news cycle change.

Also this is subject to congressional approval so trump can suffer the withering defeat of all the states rejecting his giveaway.
