There's no way Trump would be able to figure out even the most basic rules of how to play Magic, let alone anything even remotely complex.

He would memorize one misinterpretation of a rule and be the most loving asinine rules lawyer possible.

He'd promise to pay it then after doing whatever it is he needed to do, he'd try to worm his way out of paying the mana cost.

White decks require finding synergy between your cards to protect them from damage and heal your friends. Red cards have backstabbing and self-owns as a built-in feature.

They aren't dumb, it's an active attempt to maintain the status quo at all costs. That is, the old status quo, where the two parties differ in a few areas but either way, the rich get paid.

Also Magic chat: Trump only plays a Portal deck that he bought on credit and never paid for.

Trump won the general election. Romney lost. Cherry picking which of them is the bigger failure is sort of asinine.

I only played MTG back in middle school and even then we threw away the resource cards and just played with the unit cards.

if you used the resource cards it took forever to do anything so we just played it more like UNO. You started with a bunch of cards and you could use one every turn and then draw more cards.

Winner was the one with the highest kill count when we ran out of cards.

I think it's extremely telling when AOC points out how the system is broken for anyone not wealthy and she gets all the scorn. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney pulls his monocle away from his eye and says "By golly my good man, this Tromp fellow is extremely uncouth" and it's "OH poo poo IT IS GOING DOWN NOW" from the same people

Even going by the General election Romney got 47.2% of the vote and Trump got 46.1%. Trump fluked his way to a victory even he did not expect.

In a similar vein, it's telling that Warren got a bunch of articles like these after announcing the formation of her presidential committee:

Almost as if anyone who fucks with the monied class at the heart of the Democratic Party is marginalized and ignored lest they get too popular with the common folk.

How does it put Republican messaging ahead of any content of the bill? Hint, gently caress the rich is one hell of a way to campaign. Same thing with the no taxes on 80% of the population, it send a message that the rich will pay more in taxes to provide the services that you want. Even better if you can push forward a bill that raises taxes on the top 20% while decreasing them on the bottom 80% while remaining budget neutral. gently caress the loving rich you loving coward.

Wait...do you really think Pelosi wants to raise taxes on the 1% and this is why she demanded the pay-as-you-go thing?

If they're paying for the wall, Donny, why do you need to keep holding the government hostage?

E: Holy poo poo is this going to be his escape hatch? Claim that Mexico is already paying for the wall via USMCA (which, by the way, hasn't been ratified yet), and go "THIS IS WHY I AM SIGNING A BILL WITH NO WALL MONEY IN IT"?

It really is layered-stupid.

-The trade deal isn't final yet.
- If that happens, any financial benefit will not go to the federal coffers.
- Even if the first two things weren't true, like, you said, he's undermining his own position here.

It's really hard to walk though this stuff. A mire of idiocy.
