KickerOfMice posted:That's the thing: I think in the Trumpian sense (himself, and also his loyal base) of "border crossing," it's just a one-way valve through which undesirables can enter and nothing else. It's not like there's business, tourism/vacationers, people visiting family and friends, going both ways. Nah it's just a spigot of brown people that needs to be stoppered up. And yeah, his idiot white power base does picture it this way. But the rich Republicans of the world know closing an international border is horrible for business and moneymaking. Since they pull actual strings and the idiot racists do not, I'm guessing that wins out in the end.

I saw someone on Twitter suggest that the MAGA billionaire true believers have been trying to prop up the stock market by buying DOW and SP500 member securities above the days average trading price during the end of day clearing auctions. Normally I’d dismiss this as billionaires generally love money over all, but Fox News has given a bunch of them brain worms.

Speaking of the stock market, maybe you goons can find some humor in me lighting $500 on fire. A friend of mine invited me to join Robin Hood back in July and I got a free stock. CHK, Chesapeake Energy. Here’s how CHK has done over the past 3 months:   thanks for the free stock.I put in $500 and bought some stocks and calls and puts based on some very shallow research. Here’s how it turned out:  Needless to say, the only stock I buy with my retirement money is Vanguard target retirement 2045. This is also why, despite going to Vegas twice a year for work, I don’t gamble. Jealous Cow fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Dec 28, 2018 |

He smoked cigars, drank whiskey and up until really recently could still drive. He built the house he lived in with his bare hands after returning from WW2, and had the same truck he bought with cash in the early 1970s. He was a loving rockstar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwWC8nSVmwg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqIefl-vT64

ewiley posted:True, but the high pay was because they were generally unionized. I wish the nostalgia included that instead of Jesus gently caress that's what's really grinding my loving gears here: "We must do everything in our power to protect these sacred jobs that, just for no real reason whatsoever, became a powerful industry for the workers. No reason to look into why. Just accept it. Also we're busting more unions. Aaaaaaanyway: back to the mysterious 'coal jobs' that are precious for utterly no reason whatsoever. What's that? 'what made these good, generational jobs that could support an entire family making them markedly different than most other jobs'? Uuuhhhhh...they're old...and...dignity of the wo-THAT'S IT! LOOK NO FURTHER!!" gently caress this loving country.

This might have been brought up, but here's a quote from Trump during his Iraq visit:quote:Mr. Trump joked that his solution to obtaining funding for a wall was to claim that he did not want one anymore. “Tell Nancy Pelosi I don’t want the wall,” he said, adding: “And then we get the wall. That’s another way of doing it.” He really believes people hate him and his ideas for just being Trump, and that pulling some middle school "well, now I don't actually want lunch!" will immediately cause the opposition to fold. No matter how many times I see Trump pull this poo poo, I still get amazed 30-something % of the country can see this and think Trump has any sort of attachment to any of his positions beyond if people will praise him. I feel like if Ryan or McConnell or any of them started joking about "let's say we want M4A/DACA to fool the libs!", it would just cause more internal division. But Trump has always been more of an ideology/article of faith to project ideals and goals on to, so what the man actually says or does becomes irrelevant.

It's a pretty unique situation where in order for his name to mean something historically it will have to outperform a long-established, preexisting meaning of the regular word. To "trump" will no longer mean "to outrank or outperform", but "to bluff really ineptly". Card games will be unrecognizable 50 years from now

Couldn't remember Bork's name, but that was the example I was thinking of. It's sort of an incredible thing a single man can gently caress up so bad his name becomes the term for that way of loving up. More so than having your name become some sort of badge of honor, I'd think, because even though we're petty, you have to gently caress up pretty bad to have your name be forever linked to those actions.
