          Lol Trump doesn’t pay his bills. He still owes several cities from campaign rallies he held in like 2015. He’s infamous for not paying his bills, and was so for decades before he became president.

          There is no chance that Trump paid for this.

          White House chefs who prepare the president’s meals are paid by the government.

          I am confused by this. He pays his meals, but the chefs are paid by the government? So he only pays for the ingredients?

            Would he? I’m terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

            As bad as Trump is, I’m almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either “I have got to get in on this” or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

              Here’s an alternate theory:

              Back then both parties tended to use the “slimy posh salesman” kind of deceit (half lies, misleading statements, promises left unfulfilled with twisted excuses given for it) and what happened was that Republicans, almost against their will (Trump was an outsider) stumbled upon the “strongman saying what people want to hear using straight talking language” technique of deceit.

              It was a massive success because people had been fed the same kind of posh-saleman deceit (with pretty much all the media having gone along with it and turning into de facto propaganda outlets) for decades, found the new sort of discourse refreshing and comparatively trustworthy (even though it was still bullshit, just delivered differently, because it did not sound at all like the usual bullshit it seemed trustworthier to many and all the media that had chosen sides and gone along unquestionigly with the old style of deceit wasn’t trusted anymore so all their denouncing of the “other side’s lies” was ignored)

              Whilst the Republicans did adjust to that unexpected success quickly, the Democrats did not and just kept using with their usual deceit techniques spread via the media-outlets to which lots of the electorate had built a resistance to, and acting to favour the usual people when in government.

              So here we are today with a lying populist getting power for a second time in the American Two-Party system.

      It’s always projection with conservatives.

      What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.

      As the great scholar Bush once said:

      There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again

      The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be.

        It’s from The Handmaid’s Tale. Great TV show based on an amazing book that is all too relevant.

        If you haven’t read or seen it, you should. Like right now. Before January 20th at least. Margaret Atwood made sure that everything that happens in the story is something that has happened (to women) at some point in history. Because she knew there would be men saying that it’s sensationalist, and would never happen… turns out all of it has happened.

        Beware: it is harrowing. Very very very bad stuff. But sometimes it’s necessary to not turn away from these horrifying things. Especially when they’re happening again.

          I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can fault McD for a lot of things. You can argue that the products aren’t to your taste, or subpar in regards to nutrition. But food safety is something that the clown takes extremely serious.

          I’ve gotten sick from burger king. Once I had to decide what I’d rather wipe off the floor, because it was coming out both ways after eating Carl’s Jr. But I’ve never been poisoned by McDonald’s, nor have I talked to someone who has either.

          Last time I went on this rant, a former McDonald’s employee commented about food safety practices. They told how if you went to the bathroom and came back multiple people would ask you if you remembered to wash your hands. Not like this specific commenter, but that was just what they did to everyone. If you came in sick, you would be sent home with pay (I believe this was in the US, so it was actually extraordinary).

      Elon’s far from mindless. He’s just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.

      Yeah. Fuck.

      He’s potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn’t want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he’s very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.

      And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don’t think he’d think twice.
