Would it surprise you if a good fraction of republican filth were to support this plan? It sure as shit wouldn’t surprise me.

He's been using the line "lots of people are saying" for a long time to say how great he is. Check out this old Barbara Walters interview: https://youtu.be/mW1NPLeTf_c

Trump: The plaza is a very valuable property. Everybody told me, Oh, you paid too much. You paid too much. Now they're all saying what a great deal he made.

Barbara: No they're not.

I love the look on his face when she says that. Today he'd probably pivot into saying how unfair that is, and maybe mention her vagina being dirty or something. Back then, he had to sit and take the fact that his bullshit was called out and he's has nothing.

This was in 1990. He bought the New York Plaza hotel in 1988 for $390M. By 1992, it was $550M in debt and was in bankruptcy.

Can God just lightning strike this traitorous sack of human shit already? The man objectively deserves to die.

He won't, Trump is a test to see how much shit we'll take before we stand up for ourselves, and we're failing. Miserably.

Hey. It wouldn't be all bad. We could legally hunt a US dictator.

If he stays in office for one day unelected it is open season.

Already no one is allowed in the White House, and DC is under National Guard control. They're setting this one up well in advance, friend. Still not sure what to do about it.

Anybody calling for a gen strike yet? I wish I had a labor union to tell me when it's time.

Someone I knew believed to be a Hollywood film star of the 1950s late, late in his life.

As far as I know, at least he hadn't access to nukes.

Dementia is a bitch, so is the pedophile orange.

Trump's been a Mussolini Guy since the 1980s. This isn't dementia speaking. It's a core conviction he's had for his entire adult life.

I think he thinks they mean "Dick Tater". I mean, he certainly fits the bill.

[–] silicon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago
