These sports teams are outrageous. If the counties would stand in unity, they wouldn't be able to play one another like a fiddle. Same story with the Hunt family trying to play KCMO vs KCKS.

 

Let them go to Venezuela who cares. 

 

It's not the taxpayer's job to pay for infrastructure for these guys' megaprojects. 

The tax revenue these teams bring in for the areas is insane. Again this comes down to business oriented people understanding how investments work, and then politicians grandstanding so they can post slogans on Twitter or campaign signs.

lol!  - Should we expect - so, down the road ... - that he is saying : 'It's not mine, I know, - but I may take it anyway, because I need it!,  -for security reasons!' ?

For a while there, some of the stuff he was doing made sense to the GOP.  But after a while, the drunk, crazy bitch always shows up and shows his true colors.  I think they are slowly getting tired of this "alcoholic" personality!  I think Susie Wiles nailed it on the head!  Cheers!

 

 

Trump defends Susie Wiles, agrees he has an 'alcoholic's personality'

After a while nobody wants to be around an "alcoholic" personality anymore.

Mental decline has to be on the table here. Together with his dilusions of grandeur it’s a potent cocktail.  Going to be interesting to watch as MAGA twists more pretzels before midterm elections.

 

What is going to be on plaque when it’s all said and done? The president who claimed all his prior sucked but never looked in the mirror?

 

What you say about others tells us more about yourself then the folks you talk about.

Gotta go with what sells, and when it sells.  Back and forth from the euphoria via lining up the tech boys on TV to way-too-soon gloom-and-doom - the crybaby grievance/blame of wounded whites last night on TV?  Both sell well when they are marketed and the audience is so limited in their now Fox distorted reality that trying to connect the dots is impossible and a plain stupid thing to expect.

 

Low class, low processing, low level delivery of nothing at all - that's the Trump way.  Meanwhile the royal family is getting rich selling scams and the big V is a grand delusional distraction.

 

It's really too bad that Reds and Greg have chosen to go to the "cloud" of such a below grade level support of the Donald.  The two of them are so capable of entertaining us beyond belief with their lambasting of the total fucking fake world of the world's greatest and worthless goofball.

I mean it really is no surprise that some people pay attention to every word from this President since the last one couldn't put three coherent words together.

Indeed.  If the predecessor was better perhaps we'd have a different occupant in the White House now.

Well it appears that the bar has been further lowered by the present occupant, so the next occupant would almost have to be an improvement. Hopefully.

Won't argue from a personal standpoint.  From a policy standpoint I have few complaints about the present occupant.

I know right? I dont think Ive ever looked for a tweet or watched a speech; or more broadly been so obsessed with another man like they are. Can you imagine? Not only that, but hanging on every literal word and getting all ruffled by it? In the midst of my morning routine I came across "Trump rips Biden in speech" articles and shrugged and was like dont even need to read it cuz what else is new? On with my life......

[dealraker]

The problem with Trump even further is that he could have as a huge inheritor - he could have invested in US business but instead has spent 60 years mostly floundering while scamming.   He's roughly 8 years older than me his $400 mil inheritance should have been $100 bil.  But he's out selling meme shit while bitching about Biden.

 

If the worthless MF had been a shareholder like us instead of a scummer-scammer he'd have much better thoughts about Obama/Biden/Bush/Clinton or whoever- hell the markets went through the damn roof.  Yet he didn't, he spent his time bullying tax departments, bankers, while selling worthless education.  

 

Now he's not out touting his GE investments or his Nvidia...the scumbag is banking meme profits while getting on TV to talk about a man that basically nobody much cared about while he was President and absolutely nobody's thinking about today.

[cubsfan]

^^^^ Nah, you're just pissed that Trump is making Biden and Obama look like the total failures they are - dividing and destroying the country - and setting the world on fire abroad.

Probably why hes a politician and previously a celebrity and you're not. I could've pursued career and life paths thats would've resulted in significantly more financial gain than I ultimately did. There were things more important to me than that. To each their own.

Thats a response id expect from Cubs - but what about Biden...

 

The President announced a prime time speech that was carried on almost every news network. Its hardly "paying attention to every word", it was a widely marketed speech using a forum that every other President uses to announce major issues.  This was a yelling whine fest that could have been a Twitter post.  And his decline is becoming hard to ignore.

See, this is the part I can't understand.  Elections in this country are binary.  We can't create the candidate we like; we have to choose between 2 very imperfect choices.  IMO both prior candidates had and have significant personality flaws.  Both have professional flaws as well,  The different was, one candidate offered polices which were 80-90% agreeable while the other offered polices that were largely offensive.  So the issue is, does one choose to live in reality or fantasy-land?

Oh come on. This was Trumps first pre announced prime time address to the entire nation during both terms.  Its not some random comment while heading to play golf.  The fact that so few people watched despite that is a testament to how little credibility people are putting into his statements.

OK, but he never shuts up so what was the point in watching?

[cubsfan]

^^^  I think that's the point: Trump is an over communicator - so you kinda know what he's going to say.

Because it was his first prime time address to the nation. He pre empted shows, pre announced the speech and it was broadcast on most live networks. The expectation that he would announce something you know, important, was pretty high.  Instead he complained and lied for 20 minutes.  The fact that it was done 2 days before Epstein files are released was more telling than the content (or lack thereof).

LOL, he speaks at all hours of the day and night.  If he was after ratings, prime time was probably not a good time for him to be speaking to anyone since most folks have hundreds of other channels to choose from.
