He is a malignant narcissist, they only get worse, and he won't have his office keep him from holding back anymore. It is really going to be nuts, and his grifter family isn't going to stop it. It is their gravy ticket. Edited January 8, 2021 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rich, entitled, privileged, arrogant, & stupid New Yorker who cares about no one but himself and his ego is somehow basically a god to people who couldn’t be any different. How this con artist could easily trick so many people into thinking he was this outsider who would “drain the swamp” when in reality he had the self-interest traits you see in many politicians is beyond remarkable. Not sure how you solve that either, because he’s earned the love & admiration of a sizable part of this country despite endless evidence that he is a self/centered douche. I can’t understand people who voted Republican, are highly intelligent and voted for him a second time. I also want to know if the white working class had always been for republican presidents in our history. Were they Reagan Democrats? Did they support Bush? Or did they vote for Democrats and flip to Trump? 1 hour ago, Dominikk85 said: I agree. That he was able to portray himself as the advocate of the working class and fighter against financial elite is pretty outrageous when you consider his life story. The democrats have certainly missed to adress the working class in the last 30 years (basically any dem president or candidate since carter was a neolib) but trump certainly isn't the solution for the working class at all. I can understand if a white supremacist has voted for trump but some others I can't really understand - christian people: trump actually does not know a single bible verse and probably wasn't in church for 20 years before his presidency. He was was divorced several times, had affairs with porn stars and is constantly swearing. On the other hand biden goes to church every week and actually knows the bible -white working class: sure he promised bringing jobs in back from china but that won't happen and overall he certainly was more corporate friendly than worker friendly. Trump even gained with black and latin voters despite being openly racist. I don't get the fascination, maybe people think his incompetence is kind of a cool novelty?:) I realize Dems have done bad stuff too, Obama deported tons of people and didn't close quantanomo either but really under trump it got 10 times worse. I wonder what policies Democrats could have done to gain these people throughout the years, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stuff that biden has promised like free college could help. I think it was great that bernie hung in so long. Back then people said quit the race already and support biden against trump but by staying in the race and being annoying he forced biden to promise stuff like debt cancelation, free college and so on and now is probably the best chance to get that stuff done. I would also like m4all but even going back to and slightly improving Obamacare already would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the adjournment is just an acknowledgment of the mess and need to regroup. Whatever legislative plans they might have had were broken on Tuesday, we aren’t passing the DREAM act right now. They can be called back in if something is ready to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Texsox said: They are. But almost what corporation uses MLM. You buy a new car. The salesman earns a commission. The sales manager earns a commission. The general manager gets his cut. The Ford factory rep gets paid, the regional managers get paid, it goes all the way back to the President of Ford. All those multiple levels get paid. Buy something at Walmart and all those levels get paid. Pyramid schemes are different because they have no product or service and are illegal. Where MLM receives a bad name, and I believe justifiably so, is they "hire" anyone. There are people that have no business in sales and they fail. That's not the fault of MLM, that's poor hiring. They would have failed at opening any new business. MLM is just a pyramid scheme that's cleaned up so it's somewhat kosher. It's still a fucking scam and always has been. It's fraud. C'mon Tex, you know better. Edited January 8, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand they can impeach him even after his term is over and then pass a resolution forbidding him from running for federal office ever again which should be tempting for republican senators eyeing a 2024 presidential run.

OmarComing25 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If Trump doesn't run again in 2024, at this point who is the favorite to win the GOP primary? Pence and Cotton are charisma black holes, Hawley is too much of a dweeb, and the Trump kids are losers who are unlikely to be able to inspire the same kind of cultish loyalty their father did, especially if the GOP tries to distance themselves from Trump over the next four years. I don't see them going back to boring old establishment candidates either though. The MyPillowGuy maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the problem of the entire conservative media structure amplifying bad faith objections to Democratic policies. Two easy examples: 1) Death panels and the Affordable Care Act; and 2) The Green New Deal means the Democrats want to ban hamburgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he has the cover of a "campaign" to work under, he can continue to mine his supporters for cash to embezzle back to himself. and his businesses.
