Duh!
This is a favorite GOP tactic for decades. Back when the Supreme Court cared about the law, the Right would pass anti-abortion laws that they knew would be struck down. But since they were in power, they could use tax payer money to pay for the cases. Meanwhile, people on the Left had pick and choose where their money went, to a good candidate or to the legal funds?
Thanks for the information.
USSR imploded with little help from the West.
Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan; Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown; Chernobyl wasn’t sabotaged; the old guard who went against Gorbachev hated the West more than anyone.
Have you looked up civil service jobs? Even with the Trump shit show there are still government jobs out there, and many have ‘reasonable accommodations’ for people who need them.
Also, get this book. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. It’s a bunch of self tests you can knock off in half a day, followed by a list of jobs that use those skills. The job list is divided up by how much education you need.
Read a book called “Stand On Zanzibar” by John Brunner. Written in 1969 and set in the early 21st century.
Scary how much the author got exactly right.
Think of it this way.
The 1950’s was the “Rock and Roll” era.
The 1970’s was ‘Disco.’
The 2000’s were ‘the 2000s’
Bell bottoms and acid washed jeans lasted a few years, and I’ve been seeing guys with their pants below the butt for decades.
The pictures of him perving on his daughter were out there.
He boasted of going into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant
Death by a thousand cuts?
The straw that broke the camel’s back?
That’s the amazing thing about Trump.
No matter how low the bar is, he always manages to be worse than you could imagine.
I’ve been hoping for his people to see the light since 2015.
They stuck with him when he admitted that Trump University was a scam…
They stuck with him when Mexico didn’t pay for the Wall…
They stuck with him when a million people died of Covid…
I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it’s just black glass. Inside it’s all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.
Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new
Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump’s own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.
Bonus- there’s a guest apperance by John Barron!!
Historical context.
Inflation started becoming a problem in the late 1960s. LBJ wanted to have a massive Vietnam War without raising taxes, so he printed money. Nixon ran as a ‘peace candidate’ and then tripled down on Johnson’s policies. For a while, running the steel mills 24/7 to make bombs was popular with the Unions and Wall Street, but when the Arab Oil boycott hit everything went off the rails.
Jimmy Carter hire Paul Volker to run the Fed; Volker’s plan worked but Carter lost in 1980 and Reagan got the credit. Worse, Reagan let the banks print money to fund the ‘go-go’ 1980s.
In 1968, middle class was one income supporting a family of four. In 1992, when Bush Sr. was done, ‘middle class’ was two incomes. During the same time, $1 million went from being a vast fortune to what a rich guy paid for a party.
Oh, sweet innocent child.
Back after 9/11/2001 the GOP pushed two ideas at once. First, that Bill Clinton had missed numerous opportunities to go after bin-Ladn, and that Bush Jr. had only been in office for nine months and couldn’t have know what a threat bin-Ladn was.
Here’s what you need to understand.
Even if things get worse, a lot of the MAGots are never going to blame Trump.
Back in the Hitler Era, there were Germans who’d tell you that the problems would be solved “…if the Leader knew about them.” His people will tell you that the problems are caused by ‘government red tape’ or ‘malicious compliance.’
Trump has given them the excuse to be horrible people, and that’s worth suffering for.
