Nobody likes any of Trump's kids.

Not even Trump likes Trump's kids.

I don't disagree.

But, consider

They wouldn't have to change any of the merch branding.

Also, I just remain unconvinced that at least some of the cult wouldn't happily transition to following an offspring if they made even a passing attempt to imitate the attitude and atmosphere. A Trump is a Trump, surely some will follow that piper all the way to hell.

He’s 100% right the federal min wage is not a livable wage and this shit needs to stop where people believe certain jobs are only for certain people who don’t need to earn a living wage. No business owner should be allowed to hire workers and then not pay them enough to at least be able to afford a studio apartment.  We need to stop the myth that unions are lazy money grabbers that are good for nothing. The billionaires started that shit because they don’t want anyone fighting for us. Man I wish Bernie had won.

Did you really want to see America's antisemitism in real time?

To be clear, I'm not saying you don't see it by just existing but I mean, when it's the feature presentation on all forms of media. Because those Seth MacFuckface jokes are just the beginning.

Honestly I didn’t even think of that. I hate to say this but I’m so used to it already. The internet especially is a cesspool but I think generally people look at Sanders as “one of the good ones” although that “honor” was almost taken away from him because he didn’t condemn Israel as committing genocide fast enough. In fairness to Bernie, he did live on a kibbutz and maybe didn’t want to make those accusations immediately.  I do believe had Harris picked Shapiro over Walz she would have lost by a lot more than she did

Oh definitely. She needed more salt of the earth people like Walz. Not another smug liberal like Shapiro

I want to make a joke about the DNC learning to pick a worse endorsement than Cheney.

Shame I can't come up with one very easily....

whats so bad about my takes? reading some of the responses here, its looking like some agree with what i was saying about why the dems lost in these elections. 

 

speaking of poor takes, here you are talking about not regretting W when he was the one that dealt the greatest amount of damage to the country. middle east wars, the great recession, patriot act, hurricane katrina. i don't know how you can call that administration anything other than a catastrophic failure. 

I told you why your takes were bad. I’m not going to argue with you because you’re an idiot.  Suffice it to say that if the Democrats where you live actually made it easier to live and work there, you wouldn’t be complaining.  And it’s not a simple thing to do, which is why they’ve punted it for so long.

if you think no one thought “his being Jewish will turn off voters” when they were deciding who to pick as a running mate, you’d be wrong.  The given reason was his cockiness but it wasn’t the only or even the main reason.  Doesn’t matter anyway the results would have been the same, like I said if anything the loss would have been by much more

We've been a scapegoat for the economy lagging behind because we buy avocado toast instead of buying homes. Not like our generation was the first to experience crippling student debt, a recession right when most of us graduated, and ballooning house prices that made home ownership untenable for most

I've seen a quote/meme floating around that I agree with 100% that basically covers this particular load of crap.

'If you get a fancy coffee at $5 per 5 days a week, that's $25 a week. So if you decide to stop getting that fancy coffee and save that money instead, you'll save $100 a month, that's $1200 a year. In ten years, you'll have saved $12000. Which is still no where near the hell enough to buy a house. Enjoy your coffee instead - it's what's getting you through things now.' 

As for anyone that thinks there's a 'peace deal' in the works for Ukraine/Russia guess again. Any such 'deal' will consist of Ukraine being given 24 hours to submit info that Joe Biden is secretly the Lex Luthor of Europe and stole the 2020 election from the Great Lard followed by all funding being pulled regardless of what the answer to that demand is so that Putin can finish cleansing the land and Princess Tinyhands can get a hotel named after him in Moscow.

One week and still not much of a word from our trump supporting neighbor/friend 

Dude claimed he’d have cash for us by the end of the week and one week later.  Still waiting for that money he said he would give 

he’s been awfully quiet in general. 
 

Not sure if he actually found the blue prints for project 2025  and he’s coming to terms with that or he just couldn’t come up with the money like he thought he would

Could be he’s so brain addled that he’s just handed things off to his inner circle and is either not interested or capable of doing the actual work.

i am exhausted. 

i quite literally got on tiktok, to get high garden. make fun of magatards, and get high,  garden, fand stuff.

i find myself, exhausted from the volume of uneducated, unread, parrots. fuentes fuck boys getting ready for the rape fest. young black women, telling all white women to go fuck themself.  young white women, telling black women the blue bracelet is their idea, gay white women wanting to provide 'a safe space for all'. older black folks not wanting any of that political mess around them, and young black men using this opportunity for a hook up. 

people dissecting the fuck of why america lost this one, when the answer was quite literally black and white. 

and that's just tiktok. 

i got rid of facebook, because 1st lady musk is watching, and couch fucker is announcing to world, if they aren't nice to the 1st lady, will. the u.s. is breaking up with NATO.  you know, because can't censor 'free speech', can't control the masses. ----- see like this. that doesn't even make sense. lol [but i can just imagine what facebook is looking like]

and i forgot all about my shit. not in the good way. consumed by it all.  i did. for a week. i've been...just exhausted.  but, once again, i am stuck right where i am. 

so, like i said before. find something to do for your community that you know will help. learn to garden, can/jar goods. learn to recycle items. things that will get you through the worst possible scenerio. 

take from this what you will. 

take care of yourself. of your mental health.

I joked for a while that Biden was sabotaging the Harris campaign, and I thought it was a joke. But maybe it wasnt, and maybe it was more than just the Harris campaign.

Its been bubbling up on MSNBC this week during the Democratic infighting that Pelosi and Obama wanted an open primary after Biden backed out, but then they got boxed in because Biden endorsed Harris. Pelosi and Obama did not think Harris could win, which was the correct assumption, so they wanted the primary to get a stronger candidate. Biden, pissed off at the palace coup, then decided to endorse Harris as a way to destroy Pelosis and Obamas plan. There was no way to have even a speed primary or open convention once Biden put his fingers on the scales.

This also could explain why both Pelosi and Obama were so late to endorse Harris, they simply didnt want to and wanted a different candidate. By the time they did, they didnt have a choice.
Even further than that, it sounds like Jill Biden basically did whatever she could to sabotage Harris. She has never forgiven Harris for calling Biden a Racist, and that hate has simmered under their relationship for all 4 years of the Biden Admin. That hate is pretty well known, so that seems possible as well.

When the tell-all books over this campaign come out its going to be a must-read.

I don’t want sound like a conspiracy theorist but isn’t it kind of weird we haven’t seen Trump for a week? Last time he was turning these cabinet announcements into media events and bragging about “the best people.” You couldn’t get the dude out from in front of the cameras. 
 

This time, it’s press releases on Truth Social and not really much else. It’s just weird.

What’s going on?

I would think a really old man who just spent four years being angry and incoherent is going to take a week off.

Everything he owns is currently soaking in vats of Fabreez to get his infamous stink out of them.

New weasel-fur hair plugs need time to heal.

Full-body Thailand spa treatment to clear all pores from their impacted gobs of rancid spraytan.

Test-driving new 'signature scents' that can go from a 12pm wake-up call to afternoon executive nap without revealing there's been 3 blow-outs in that time frame.

Still screaming at people to find Hermione Granger and force her to make him a super diaper like she made that super purse. 

He's been posting this entire time but someone switched his phone with one of those Fischer Price Busy Little Bastard play-fones and he hasn't noticed the difference. 

Someone came up with KFC flavored pudding as a joke during election night and now it's pudding time all the time.
