I don’t agree that Obama can be described that way.

Good idea, I’m on it.

From kleptocracy to oligarchy in two terms , only interrupted by the small matter of an attempted coup.

I don’t see how anyone can take this country seriously anymore.

We’ve just completely given up on the idea of the president divesting from business interests before taking office

Look, the Democrats are quite clearly the problem! Look at Pelosi!

QED. Or whatever bullshit people use to make themselves sound smarter.

Currently I think it’s fair to say they’re all problems. It doesn’t seem to be about either or. :worried:

What does he know about those computers? How to fix them?
Kinda sounds like it.

My bet is it will be worth fuck all within a few weeks.

The big question will be how does this effect the economy and the government? Will deparments be dumb enough to allow their funds to be moved into $Trump or will they be able to retain $USD?

Or will they be corrupted enough?

To me, Melania is the cash channel to Baron… I’m still convinced the Orange Ogre is set on creating a Trump dynasty so he can believe his name lives on forever… We should be thankful at least, he is not 25yrs younger than his present 78yrs of age…!

Or that Baron is not 25 years older.

The best hope is that there is enough time between now and when B.T is old enough to run for presidency that people will have realised just how much damage his orange Ogre-father has done to the US and they lynch him out of spite.

On the night of his inauguration, Donald Trump is visited by 3 ghosts.

Early in the night, FDR appears. Trump asks him, “How can I make America great again?” FDR replies, “Think only of the people; do not make laws based on hatred, bigotry, or with the thought of lining your own pockets” Trump’s face sours “FAKE NEWS!” he screams and FDR disappears. Trump falls back to sleep.

A few hours later, he is awakened by George Washington’s ghost. Trump asks, “How can I make America great again?” Washington replies, “I would suggest you never tell a lie”, which infuriates Trump. He screams for his bodyguards but Washington is already gone.

Around 3 in the morning, he is visited by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Again, he asks, “How can I make America great again?”

Lincoln thinks for a bit and says, “Go to the theater.”

All these rich, white men talking about ‘making America great again’… :see_no_evil:

History teaches that everytime someone starts talking like that (referring to a so-called ‘golden time’ in the past, and wanting to get back to that) it ends up in tatters.

I completely expect the same to happen this time again. After all, these guys offer nothing new, only going back to old receipts which are completely past it. Hopefully we all won’t suffer too much because of these fools, fingers crossed…
