What will history say about Trump?

[AceDesSpades]

Nice c&p

I see a lot of threads bumped and I guess this is the very important reason why.

Thank you for your very meaningful contribution. We are all most certainly better off having read it. Over and over.

You will be better off when you understand it, and stop being a Libertarian.

 

[AceDesSpades]

I am not ever going to stop believing in the three legs of the stool, life, liberty and property.

The fact that you throw so many labels at it tells us that it is both believable and intimidating to you.

Plato noted that some men are just born to be slaves and it is nice that we, the citizens, include you in our plans to ensure your care, clothing and housing and freedom (even to be a willing ward)...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Four Legs: Life, Liberty, Happiness, and property.


Five legs: Life, Liberty, Happiness, property, and tits.


Six legs: whiskey, too . . . .

 

[AceDesSpades]

Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, yeah
But outside, it's stopped rainin'

 

[DukeofPaducah]

If wishes were fishes, we’d all have a fry
If horseturds were biscuits, we’d eat ‘til we die
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I’d dive to the bottom and never come up

Hello future monkeypox victims. If RFK jr has his way, that’s the way we’ll reach herd immunity.
That’s the way my mother inoculated my siblings and myself against chicken pox and I got to be patient zero in the house and lay my brothers and sister low. Sweet justice.

Here’s my treasonous thoughts for the day.
I believe in education for all. Does that make me a Socialist? I suppose so.
Here’s the pisser. Unless you tore up that Covid relief stimulus check you are too. That was a major contributor to the inflationary spiral we all suffered, you understand. Shame on you.
How will it work? I’m glad you asked. Look at what happened with the GI bill in the wake of WW II. All those servicemen came home and continued their educations. We watched the standard of living go up,up,up.
But we don’t want to join the military and die in some foreign land you wail. How about a two year hitch serving your country in public works like repairing and building new infrastructure? Or finish building the precious border wall?
Government interference in the private sector you say? In for a penny…
Ot do you prefer starting out in life crippled by a lifetime of student loan debt?

Next up. Health care for all. (Shudder)

Pearl-clutching over someone other than yourself attempting to hijack the front page discussions is the absolute height of "lack of self-awareness".

You and your faithful idiot companion Wat have been shitposting with furious glee since election night.

How long do your manic periods usually last? This one seems much longer than normal, in fact, I'd say your current manic phase is second only to the epic 'I NEVAR said 'Haitians were subhuman' and Chipbutty is FAT!' marathon of a few years ago.

Once more, the victim is blamed.

Yes, we recovered the loot. No you cannot have it back! Finding it was expensive: overtime and benefits...

They have yet to realize that they have been confirmed as compulsive liars and their credibility is shot to hell.

he means repubs are stupid in case you need it dumbed down.

That was Aristotle.

That makes no sense at all.

I'll do Dick and Jane when I am speaking to you.

First, on Day 1 of his second term, Trump must fire via his Reduction in Force authority 200,000 federal employees, preferably at the GS-12 and 13 levels. Of course the federal employee unions, which should cease to exist, will sue for a stay. That case will likely wind its way through the courts for 18 months or so (unless the Supreme Court fast tracks it). But once it reaches the SCOTUS, the fundamental question to be asked is: can the head of the Executive Branch, the duly elected President of the US, hire or fire whoever he pleases as per the Constitution? Or do the extra Constitutional statutes and regulations protecting the civil servants supersede the Constitution? With this SCOTUS, the odds are they will side with the originalism of the Constitution and give the President the right to hire and fire whoever he pleases inside the Executive Branch, where most of the Administrative State resides.

Looking at the sheer size of his own cabinet, it’s difficult to imagine Elon and Vivek in their omniscience won’t find a little duplication of service and deadwood there as well.
Rough glance at the gallery of MAGAs had to be 45 bumping 50. Let’s pare that to 10-15 what say?
Essentials being Gatekeeper of Immigrant Exit Stategy, Inquisitor of DOJ, Capt. Taxcut, Team Jenga, (AKA DOGE)
Steve Bannon, Poobah of Truthiness,
Kristi Noem Queen of Hoaxes,
RFK jr Maitre D at the Roadkill Cafe and lest we forget,
the Ahab of Drill, Baby Drill & Frack Attack.
The Bullet Train awaits at the station. All aboard!

Roadkill gets a bad name. .44. 4X4.

Kilt is, well, a man-skirt by another name...

The bureaucracy is holding the [nuclear] football for you Charlie...

It is by no means uninformed to say that social democracy is not socialism.

You are showing your choice towards ignorance.

The Talking heads absolutely rule. Psycho Killer is another of my favorites.
This vid reminds me of kicking peyote cactus buttons down on the Big Rez.

[DukeofPaducah]

A most excellent choice IMO. Look for order in chaos.

 

[Politruk]

One importance difference is that we know social democracy works. Based on the track record of actually existing social democracies, it works better than anything else that has yet been tried, including the American version of capitalism.
