Sure, he'll always have the people who prostitute themselves for tax breaks and the deplorables, but I don't see the love for him by suits lasting.
What about Obama and Rahm and Chicago Dem fraud machine and Soros?

What about Bill and Hillary and emails and Benghazi and Abedin and Lynch on the tarmac?

What about, what about, what about...

Or, you'll hear... "The Deep State is just targeting Trump and the good people around him to keep their corrupt liberal socialist choke hold on MURICA! Trump is a hero and the people around him are martyrs, but the cause carries on. MAGA!"

If corruption was going to do Trump in, corruption would have done Trump in a long time ago. His whole ****ing life is corruption. Netanyahu is not Trump. Israel is not the US right now.

The suits may not line up to work for him, but they're not and will not be lining up to take him out of power as long as they keep getting more money and more power for the right.

I think at this point the right attitude is to assume NOTHING will take him down, volunteer like hell, resist like hell, try to beat him SOLELY on the issues (see how the left finally defeated Berlusconi in Italy a couple times), and if something does happen to take him down in the meantime, we exhale and celebrate...

At this point I'm beyond trying to guess what will/won't stick and what will actually penetrate through the hierarchy up to Trump.

If your goal is to defeat trump this is the correct line of thinking. No one should kid themselves into thinking trump will be easy to beat.

The only non-electoral mechanism I can see mattering much is a very big string of indictments against his cabinet and children, with Trump alone untouchable at the top of the pyramid due to the legal difference with charging a sitting president with a crime. This would look so bad it would actually give the GOP pause.

The electoral remedies are also pretty tough. We need a crushing midterm victory followed by a significant enough election win that it can't be questioned, and Trump can attack NK at any point in the process he feels things aren't going his way--he's telegraphed his intention to do so already.

Trump still doesn't understand that purchasers pay tariffs

Part of the options would be tariffs coming in. As they dump steel, they pay tariffs, substantial tariffs, which means the United States would actually make a lot of money.

I'm actually shocked I have yet to see a deplorable meme where there is a picture of Monica Lewinsky and Stormy Daniels next to each other that says, "At least Trump has standards."

Seriously these people are so brainwashed that anything you do better than the Clintons is a win, it has to happen.

Not the kind of thing you want your boss saying all the time

02-14-2018 , 10:16 AM
Anyone who has ever worked for a complete dope of a boss understands this dynamic intuitively. Competent people quickly realize it's hopeless and bail, leaving the weak leader with a bunch of equally incompetent lackeys. This is how you end up with stupid **** like claiming you didn't know wife beater guy was a wife beater when anyone with a functioning brain knows the FBI, who you **** on daily, can and will disprove the obvious lie.

I was a poor kid and basically never ate fast food. I don't think they had a dollar menu back then but even now, isn't like a Big Mac combo $8? What does that cost for a family of 5, $40? Way too expensive for poor people. This notion that everyone on food stamps is filling up their shopping cart with skittles, coke and chips... I am not buying it.
How old are you? Why do you think your yout has any relation to the way things are now? If you could stop assuming your experience was valid for anyone other than you, you might stop coming across as an *******.

this is incoherent and you seem emotional but when i was a kid i don't recall a dollar menu at fast food places, therefore fast food was a lot more expensive for poor people than it is now.

A Big Mac combo is like $8. That is expensive for a poor family of four.

Poor people get the $1 fries and mcchickens or they go to KFC and get something super cheap there, or Taco Bell, etc. Mind you, this observation does not include a proper sample size.

This is the political equivalent of doing a first down celebration when you're down 3 TDs.

Or to stick with a Trump type sport, celebrating a double bogey just because you scored a triple bogey on the previous hole.
02-14-2018 , 12:02 PM
I doubt Trump has ever written down a triple bogey in his life.

McDonalds is for special occasions. Del Taco is for every day. I can eat lunch there for $2.19.

In general people eat a lot of junk food. Poor people eat more, but I expect confirmation bias has people thinking the difference is more dramatic than it is. But, being poor, and moreso being hopeless and disrespected, is depressing. That makes it easy to say "F it" and spend too much money on stuff like fast food. And actually it's not really irrational. The earlier post about it being the one affordable luxury makes a good point.

Dictating other people's food choices is disgustingly patronizing, authoritarian, belittling and mean though. I hope someone takes all of DS's money and buys every homeless person in the world a big hot fudge sundae with it.

This administration with 41% approval is nothing like a team that went 14-2, please. Trump is the 2017-18 Browns.
