    I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…

    Yes you did jackass. People like him are the reason I don’t have a job anymore.

    Heartbreaking.

    I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.

    But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.

    You can still take solice in knowing that you “owned some libs” though. That just makes the whole thing worth it, doesn’t it?

      At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.

      The funny thing is, this would say off some right wing people without them realizing the irony of getting mad at it.

    Does he know anything at all about the felon who has left a long trail of failed businesses and can bankrupt a casino three casinos? Trump is doing pretty much exactly what he said he’d do and any CEO that doesn’t know that deserves to be unemployed.

        I thought it was 5 casinos and a resort (with a casino on)…?

        Edit:
        Bankruptcies were…
        1991: Trump Taj Mahal
        1992: Trump Castle Hotel & Casino
        1992: Trump Plaza Casino
        1992: Trump Plaza Hotel (not a casino, just a hotel.)
        2004: Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts
        2009: Trump Entertainment Resorts (casino holding company. FFS, not only did he bankrupt casinos. Which is one of the most lucrative businesses out there, he also bankrupted a company that handles the casinos. How the fuck is that even -legally- possible to bankrupt a company that owns the most lucrative businesses!!!)

        There are numerous other businesses that also failed spectacularly. Plus there ‘businesses’ that were just scams, the university that never was.
        Promises of extensive redevelopment that got ‘put on hold’ after his golf courses got built etc.

      They are the only game in town, particularly at the state and local level.

      Republicans are in a suicide pact with their party. If you try to leave, your peers will kill you that much faster.

    I don’t understand, why doesn’t he just “pull himself up by by his bootstraps” and work harder. That’s what they tell everyone else, right?

      That is a real shame. All these people are choosing to be poor. The real trick of this whole thing is you need to be independently wealthy for it to work for you. If only these folks understood that, they might choose differently.

    Heartbreaking? Nah. More like utterly infuriating that they were duped despite the prior term and decades of demonstrated corruption and incompetence.

    I’ve no sympathy at all.
