I saw White Zombie once in Cincinnati.

I saw Rob Zombie play tonight. Not related to politics but thought I’d share.

Did you get to see his wife? She there? She’s a smoke show.

There is a lot of dumb in this post.

Are you a dumb?

It is only dumb to you because you are a Liberal, dedicated to giving our country away.

Trump doesn't want to give up his returns because he doesnt want to provide a glimpse into his actual net worth. Income is obviously only a small part of wealth, but he has built up a persona that he's an extraordinary and successful businessman. In reality, he made one particularly good real estate purchase at the start of his career (with dad's help) and became a successful reality TV star after that. In between those things, he sank business after business. I'm being hyperbolic, but he's not the tycoon he holds himself out as.

I want his returns released just for the embarrassment he would feel and the bruise to his enormous self-righteous ego. I don't much care about the potential Russian investment income or the like.

Lordy, lot of dumb in this post.

Are you dumb?

 

[KyFaninNC]

Whataboutism. Every President released their returns until Trump came along.

Yea, and both sides always accepted the election results till 2016.

So yes? You are a dumb?

One of my ex girlfriends good friends from high school was her personal assistant about 10 years ago. Apparently they used to try and get her to do threesomes with them all the time. Being a rock star sounds like a lot of fun.

Nope

Brilliant.

 

[UL_1986]

Probably won't find that till 2024.

Pretty much this.

Good show?

Ehhh

 

[dukedevilz]

WHOM!

Don't be so pedantic. It makes you look super douchey.

 

[toonces11]

He knows how to move his base. Period.

And ML off. You don't agree with me about a single thing I listed, so your question is rhetorical anyway.

I believe that you believe it, and thats why I asked how in the world you could feel Trump will be re-elected if he has been so terrible for the country.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Brilliant.

You think AOC is somebody I support?

Lol

This thread is the dog shit on the shoe of this board

I voted for Hillary and I think she would have been a significantly better President than President Trump. What she wouldn't have accomplished, however, is firing up progressives. We'd have done the same stupid thing we did after President Obama's election: pat ourselves on our backs for an historical first, then sit back all complacent while an even worse Tea Party was the only group taking it to heart when Hillary echoed Obama's call for everyone to chip in and do their part.

President Trump will be reelected. At the end of his 8 years, we will be in way worse shape than before wrt climate change, wealth disparity, foreign relations, civil rights, political corruption, national debt, corporate royalty, judicial extremism, social division, and more.

A moderate isn't going to fix that. A moderate will make that continuing decline temporarily less turbulent. The only thing that's going to fix anything is going to be a progressive who takes on desperate issues with the fervor they require, or outright revolution.

Sucks to suck

Is Kanye still running?

Man I hope so.

Man I hope so.

I feel like it’s still a thing.

This. You can’t go anywhere on this network anymore without lib vs pub honks duking it out about who’s tribe is less shitty.

Lol

Why don’t you?

 

[brooky03]

Why don’t you?

Why would I?

My tribe has sharper spears.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Why would I?

Idk, others seem to like her. I don’t like her because she’s a socialist / commie and seems pretty dumb. Just wondering why you don’t.

Too radical for my tastes and not experienced enough. She has potential, but she isn't deserving of all the coverage she's received so far.

Not sure she has potential.

Don't be so pedantic. It makes you look super douchey.

Don't critique others' facetious grammatical policing. It makes you look super-douchey.

 

[Dattier]

I don't care.

 

[dukedevilz]

FTR, Trump is mostly not getting the job done. Things are fine right now. But the deficit is growing. HC is still a mess.

Agreed. Hillary Clinton is still a mess. Still complaining about them election results.

 

[brooky03]

Not sure she has potential.

There's something to be said for winning at her age.

She's, at least, no dumber than the average politician. That's not saying much because they don't tend to be particularly bright individuals, but there are certainly dumber ones than her. One of them is running the country.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Can not fix stupid.

 

[brooky03]

Can not fix stupid.

You would know

 

[Big_Blue79]

What part of her is communist in the sense of the word that is at all accurate?

This was posted a page after:

Your question assumes that elections are necessarily meritorious. They are not. They suffer from both the voters themselves (ill-informed, single issue, different priorities, etc...) and structural issues (first past the post, two-party system, electoral college, distribution of voters, etc...). And that's a really basic point that you surely understood before you posted. But if you don't, then consider that Americans spend more time planning vacations than planning for retirement and what that means for elections.

I usually get alerts when someone quotes me, and I assume that you do, too, so you likely saw this answer to your question. Now I'm not Dattier, and maybe you have a hard-on for getting his answer specifically, but this is the answer to why it's possible to believe both that Trump (or any other politician) sucks and can be reelected. And you already know this anyway.

She knows how to play to her base.

She do

Don't worry, guys. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
