  • Maybe if his spawn’s failson husband didn’t oppsidaisy the federal contract to restore its infrastructure to a middleman shell company nobody’s ever heard of it would be in better condition… or if it wasn’t Washington’s proving ground for the effects of cruel and unusual policies nobody except companies want. Or if they could spend money on their own infrastructure before paying back bonds like everyone else can legally do. Or maybe if Trump gave any shits at all about it as his entire presidency was riddled with hatred towards US territories like “at least the only thing in range of North Korea’s nuke is Guam.” I’m sure there isn’t metric tons of evidence that his policies reflected that opinion.





  • Trump shuts up when events threaten anything we care about if it doesn’t suit his goals and screams loudly if it does, but it has nothing to do with the freedoms or positive values we as Americans often have.

    He shut the hell up when Erodogan’s bodyguard thugs beat up peaceful protesters with brass knuckles and kicked a pregnant participant.

    He shut the hell up when the Saudi prince’s hitman murdered a US journalist at our consolate.

    What does he really care about? The man bitched for a year about Hillary’s email and his empty-headed family had multiple examples of them doing the same shit. He claims to care about millitary members and then immediately misused them, getting a bunch killed conducting riskier than necessary missions, shit on PoWs, and thumbsed up a gravesite in Arlington. He claims to care about gun rights, but when discussing what to do about shootings he asked why we can’t just take someone’s weapons before they had plausibly done anything wrong. Power, he does seem to actually care about that.


  • The election is why Netanyahu is doing it… He wants to secure a future of endless apologia that will help him extent his own term. I’m sorry, but why is it such a hard decision when one side ignores you but the other side wants you dead?

    Progressives have been ignored by the establishment since LBJ, and then the attention from the other party turned to stomp them. This is not new. Changes between liberal establishment losers and progressive firebrands come from primaries. The choice of purple/blue vs fascist is the general. Always will be until ranked choice voting. Bad realities don’t resolve by ignoring them.


  • I’m not sure why the scrutiny. The McDonalds he visited was owned as a franchisee. This is true of 95% of McDonalds. The franchise is effectively letting them use their name so long as they pay them for every stage of their operations (royalty on sales, franchise starting fee, equipment manufactured under McDonalds is the only approved equipment, and profit on food product being sold in bulk to the restaurant). McDonalds is evil, but it’s not because they endorse Trump, it’s mostly because they’re a leech company who wants to distance themselves from risk by contracting out over 95% of their revenue streams labor.










  • Reminder that the GOP have tried to pass legalization in Ohio with the stipulation that the only vendors allowed to participate were limited to 2 vendors for the next few years, guaranteeing them duopoly power. The suggestion was shut down by voters. GOP concern trolling melts like cotton candy in the rain the moment they can easily navigate corruption into the mix.
