The fact is, if the pandemic doesn't happen, America was in a fantastic economic situation - there's no way the democrats would have won 2020 without the pandemic destroying the economy! 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alll the polls leading up to the start of the pandemic showed the very very strong likelihood of such happening?

True. If the Republican Administration had handled the pandemic better they would have still been in power. If the Republican Congress can be viewed as solving problems affecting average citizens, they would gain a presidency. One did not happen, will the other? People worry less about pronouns and Hunter Biden when eggs and a gallon of gas both cost more than $4. 5 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i said something to that effect many times.BOM got busted in that interview proved what we saw his deliberate down play and lack luster self serving approach to covid played a bigly part in his handing the election to biden, that was then so much more and worse is under BOMs long belt now he lost countless support. Promising cheap eggs, cheaper gas and tossing hunter in the hoosegow for snorting blow off a sex workers butt arent going to land a fellow with the legal messes BOM is in back in the WH, sure he can run all he wants that keeps his gofundme warm. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know its kind of heartwarming when a man sees his true calling even if he is in his golden years. Trump finally cut through the BS, figured out that selling real estate, steaks, ties, vodka, or starting an airline or a casino is too much work and once you get famous people will just give you money for making promises, selling stolen-image digital collectors cards and telling stories. No doubt his is wishing Don Jr; was as gifted as George Santos. Doing a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for a vet's service dog to get cancer surgery then disappearing with the money, that's got to be inspirational. If we do witness the financial collapse of the House of Trump, Don Jr. is going to need a new career, selling bibles high on coke may not be it. Animals, cancer, vets, it all pulls on the heartstrings, maybe he can get tutored by Santos on GoFundMe. Now that I think of it, it is probably a lot less work than serving on a corporate board like Burisma to keep your nose full. Poor Eric, what is he going to do? Will he be a stay at home dad while Lara works at FOX? Jared might have to sell Ivanka to a ME sheik to pay off his debts. The rise and fall of the House of Trump, like Game of Thrones, engaging to watch, will be a real ratings catcher. I remember the words of a dying hero that sums it up, "I came like the thunder and I go like the wind." 1 2 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the words of a dying hero that sums it up, "I came like the thunder and I go like the wind." When tina writes up a great promo for one of our events i call it "pure platinum" and you sir are just brimming with pure platinum. Game of thorns, i binge watched it for the most part, remember the evil queen who was doing her brother? Her name slipps my mind. From the start i knew she would have a fitting end, i knew she wouldnt be a winner. Same with BOM of course this is real life we have courts and rules to follow but i have always believed in the end BOM would be stripped of all his ego driven BS no, i dont think he will be locked up but i do think he will be just cared for and humored fed mcfish told hes a genius and allowed to play putt putt until the moral coil chatches up and he passes on. But no fears the gofundme will still be rolling. For my other speculations ivanka will just sell her tacky clothes to chains like walmart or dollar General so a certain type gal has something nice to wear to cracker barrel or red lobster on those special outings. Tweetle don jr and Tweetle eric could do things like infomercials maybe help baron von pillow hugger sell his wears since so many chains cut him off hard or they could always nail a job at a buy here pay here car lot. Maybe jr will either grow a real beard or shave his dbag beard. Oh yeah, nevermind. Mel will sell a tell all book and ride out her golden years telling folks about life with BOM. People will yawn but try to be kind to her. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatetopa Posted January 24 #70 Share Posted January 24 51 minutes ago, acidhead said: What's the first word that comes to your mind when you think of Donald Trump? "Confident" Just the opposite. Scared and trying to brazen it out. Confident people, do not portray themselves as the perpetual victim because it makes them appear weak. Fear of blame, fear of criticism, fear of being caught leads to excuses and victimhood rather than personal responsibility and accountability. Men with accomplishments get recognized by other people, their peers respect them. They don't need to toot their own horns at every opportunity. Men that are confident surround themselves with high performers that can accomplish great things because they know they deserve to be on that team. They do not surround themselves with yes men and dummies so they can pretend to be the smartest guy in the room. No names mentioned, just a general observation about confident people. You would recognize confidence in a boss, a coworker, or an employee. 3 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "confident" isnt the word i think of when i hear "trump" BOM did really springboard the whole idea of play victim , blame others for your fails, another fellow in Germany tried that in the 30s and people learned from it BOM repackaged it sold it to the low enders who needed someone to blame but 2020 showed people saw thru it again, sure BOM still does it afterall its his go to but no rational people fall for it. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people who blame others for the state of the world, but chiefly their unhappy place in it. A lot of those people seem to feel powerless and afraid. Some will disagree, but I think Trump has those qualities and recognized it in others. Fear can be as powerful a motivator as hope. Trump gave people someone to blame for their lousy jobs or lack of money or depression and something to fear; they would lose their jobs or be murdered and the hope that he could fix it all. 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump gave people someone to blame for their lousy jobs or lack of money or depression and something to fear; they would lose their jobs or be murdered and the hope that he could fix it all. Here is what an musical artist i know said in 2016, Quote Calling Trump "brutally, psychologically flawed," Jourgensen told Cleveland Scene, "It’s amazing that the entire Republican platform is the worst thing that a working class person could want and yet we vote for them because they have figured out a way, the same way that the fascist parties in World War II era preyed on people’s fears which is exactly what Trump is doing. Blame your problems on someone else. 'This is why your life is bad' and 'You can be like me' if it wasn’t for all these immigrants and other people coming into the country. They prey on cultural issues and then they slip in other things that completely hurt the people while saying that they have our backs. The whole hypocrisy is so veneer-thin that a child could see through it, and I’ve often said that what scares me far worse than Trump is the Trump followers." 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
