Heraclitsstudent found out that when a guy gets fired or is not listened to, he may call his boss a dope.

Whenever my female friend wants me to do something and I don’t, she calls me names.

Nobody cares what Kelly and Mattis said, they are military lifers.

The others were not agreeing with Trump’s plans so they are gone and pissed off.

What I don't understand at all is how firing people became a bad thing? If you don't like what they're doing, you're supposed to keep them.... said no responsible business person ever. And like you say, once they're fired they're going to talk shit, truth be damned.

If a business or entity is successful, I'll probably take the business owners side 8 out of 10 times versus listening to the fired employee. Sometimes it's more of a pain to fire someone than to keep them on and manage them differently.

marcus says

Also, is he really that successful ? How hard is it to be successful when you inherit several hundred million ?

Vast majority of large lotto winners go broke. So there's that. Same with a ton of multi million dollar athletes. So he's at least average to above average with finances where most people completely fail.

He transitioned to a different industry and whether you like him was pretty successful in entertainment. You don't have to like the Apprentice, but it was a successful show.

And finally he became POTUS.

All the above things... none of us here have accomplished. So either we're dumb or you at least have to admit there's some intelligence there with Trump. This isn't an attack on you personally marcus, but the intelligence argument is old and makes the person brining it up look petty. He has many flaws you could attack and intelligence really isn't one of them.

marcus says

Trump's an idiot becasue

marcus says

I see him as an idiot becasue

marcus says

NO he really is an idiot

Just because.

marcus says

I want (and feel we deserve) an intelligent and competant President.

Biden? Bloomberg? Bernie?
Who's your dog?

marcus says

It's not an attack. I want (and feel we deserve) an intelligent and competant President.

I think you're saying you want a better speaking POTUS. I don't necessarily disagree. Up until last night, I don't think he's done all that bad for people. He hasn't helped me in any way, but most people I know seem to be happy with him living in blue ass IL. He's better than the alternative being presented at this point.

I am thoroughly pissed with his handling of this corona virus though. The ban on European travel is pure lunacy. It's going to bring more infected people back to the states. Retarded move. Every American and European that can, is going to flee Europe over the next day and a half bringing China ass hoe bat flu with them. And yes, I know the ban isn't for American citizens. As with all the hype over this virus, most people will just hear it comes into effect Friday and think they have to get out now. There's also no point of airlines loading up 25 Americans on a 777 and losing shit loads of money.

If you're going to restrict travel, just do it for everyone. Italy is clearly lazy (like all Italians are) and cannot control a flu bug. With the open borders, most Europeans and Americans traveling in Europe have been exposed to this. Either allow full travel or don't do a half assed travel ban. It won't take my vote away from Trump because the Democratic nominee is literally a senile retard, but pretty upset with this.

marcus says

What was his great skills in getting elected ? Appealing to fears, and hate ?

Uh - I think Trump was the ONLY politician on the Left or Right who was prescient enough to warn us about the risks of being too coupled with China with our supply chains and having an out of control immigration system.

I think the Corona-virus Pandemic is more than proving out these legitimate fears.

Also, just imagine how much more of a shit show it would be if Trump did what all of the Democrats advocated and banned fracking?

Tulsi's still in! She's my candidate and if she actually makes it to the final election I would look at her policy proposals before I voted against her. For now, she says she is against war and that's enough for me to vote for her as a registered democrat in California. 25,600 other Californians voted for her.

Democrats are not stupid enough to run Biden against Trump, are they?

I would bet Biden could win a push up contest against Trump.

Tenpoundbass says

Why is Tulsi rejected by the Dem primary voters? What policy of hers is it that turns them off? Maybe they just do not like women, especially not women of color.

WookieMan says

The Mayor of Florence had an event mere hours ago staging Italians to hug Chinese people, some wearing masks, in order to "Combat Racism"

Onvacation says

Biden? Bloomberg? Bernie?
Who's your dog?

Don't hold your breath. Lefties have been dodging this for the past year. Somebody came out when Bloomberg finally made an appearance, but it looks like the Dems are saddled with a very flawed candidate that the base and most of the dem leaning voters think is a old corrupt Senator with early dementia.

All the Bernie kids and old hippies will stay home in droves, at least during campaign season, not feeling up to running phone banks or distributing fliers and signs.

All Biden does is not lose as badly as Bernie will, saving some of those Purple Area Democrats.

Trump's IQ test came back negative.
This is Trump's greatest weapon, the Elite and Democlod's under estimating of Trump's capabilities and resolve.

You give Trump Lemons, he will take it make a big glass of Lemonade with a big beautiful paper umbrella garnish.

The Corona Virus scam, canard, and hoax the New World Order perpetrated to bring down Trump's presidency, will be used as the death knell to send them all to hell.

China has already lost all of our important major supply chain. After the smoke clears, and this Pander-demic is behind us in the rear view mirror. We'll find more companies and manufacturing of goods, they have told us for decades was never coming back.

He beats the fuck out of them every time. Remember when I said one day, someone will come along and rip the arms and legs off the Establishment and beat the hell out of them with it? This is that GUY!

He's my kind of Dumb Son of a Bitch. Keep short changing him Marcus, he's almost done.

Patrick says

Why do you people care what this girl has to say? She’s seeking for attention by saying stupid stuff. Ignore her.

She's a joke, made up by some guy to look like the stereotype of the crazy liberal.

Ironic humour.

Obviously it's way higher than that by now.

We don't always agree, but I'm of the opinion Trump has absolutely botched this on many levels. The idea that we can stop a virus is a joke. And I also don't care how past administrations have handled things like this. Since we haven't had a summer with this and people are infected in warm areas currently, the idea it goes away because of weather hasn't been proven.

This is the problem with not having older age limits in government. We're reacting and making policy out of fear because we're led by the old. Make the cut off the first year you can collect social security for an elected position (63ish?). Basically you cannot get on the ballot during the year you turn 63 (or whatever age it is). It's also another backdoor term limit rule in essence.

JFC your memes suck.

jazz_music says

downplaying our descent and ignoring the loss of accountability.

Much worse - she is enabling corporate takeover of everything.

After a Pelosi staffer left to lobby on behalf of credit-card giant Visa, Pelosi delayed bringing to the House floor a bill to end lucrative "swipe fees" for Visa and other credit providers.

The bill couldn't have come at a worse time for Visa. It planned to launch an $18 billion public stock offering, so stalling Hill action became a priority. The San Francisco-based company curried favor with Pelosi by pumping cash into her re-election efforts, earning its CEO a rare one-on-one meeting with the speaker.

At the same time, Visa offered her husband a VIP cut of the IPO. Paul Pelosi jumped at the offer, buying 5,000 shares at the $44 initial price. In a couple of days, the shares soared to $64. Pelosi later bought 15,000 more, raising the total value of his investment to about $5 million. In the end, the legislation Visa fought starting in 2007 was forestalled two full years.

Let's take time to remember our founding fathers, guns and America.

jazz_music says

the fascism we are all dealing with now

@jazz_music What we have is in no way fascism. Please don't lie.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy

Are you forcibly suppressed from opposing Trump? Absolutely not. You and all the media do it regardless of facts 24/7/365.

Is everyone else prevented from supporting Trump? Absolutely. You will get beaten up if you simply wear a red hat around Democrats. Democrats are violently intolerant of calm and reasoned dialogue about Trump and his policies.

It's very sad. Democrats used to be pro-labor. Now they are pro-global-corporations and happy lapdogs barking RACISM! RACISM! to excuse and defend globalist devastation of America.

I actually can’t wear a MAGA hat in Los Angeles. To do so is to place myself in physical danger.

Thank you for pointing that out Patrick.

Lefts memes are so TDS laden, I feel bad for those poor losers on the left briefly every time I see one.

:

On a serious note, do people not see the branding of this virus? It's pretty obvious in this meme. Almost any TV news story uses that virus image when talking about this. Why is that? https://www.shutterstock.com/search/Virus

There are plenty of other options out there for graphics. My local NBC, ABC and CBS affiliates all use the same image (I don't watch FOX and don't have cable). Just seems really weird.

marcus says

Race is truly irrelevant. And the writing is on the wall as to whites ultimately being just another minority, although in my view Latin Americans are more or less "white."

Can't you see how racist your statement is?

marcus says

:

Make America great again. DJT
You didn't build that. BHO

Even the holdouts that have still been coming to me saying... "Well come on now, why is Trump so mean, why did he insult CNN, why does Trump lie all the time, Trump is going down he will be impeached."

Even those guys are now starting to tell the truth. Fucking with Trump to remove Trump, they were all in on, and all for it. They all knew damn fucking well there's been two sets of rules, the one for Trump and his supporters then Hillary voters. They reveled in the privilege of feeling untouchable, they could slap me and break an egg over my head, they would not get damn thing happen to them.
Now they see their Useful Idiot Blind Stupidty of willing to shit all over our constitution for their TEAM, is dangerous. They all now know, they may damn well lose their jobs, be homeless, starve, do without basic necessities, and lose the bulk of every penny in their 401K.

And do you know what Marcus? They aren't saying Orange man is Bad. They are dropping the fucking charades and calling it for what it is. Now the Establishment is fucking with their Shit.

My Sister's Husband and I have been the only Pro Trump supporters in the family. The rest of the family frowned upon us discussing Trumps wins and victories in the group text. They get irate they hate hearing about it, they want to hear that Trump was removed in handcuffs. Guess what flyboy? Yesterday they were all blowing up the group text, about how this is the biggest sham ever perpetrated in History. They aren't fucking stupid, they know if the flu isn't a WHO pandemic, then this shouldn't be. They realize more than 50% of our cases happened in a group home, they know the only person in our family in danger is our Mom in an ALF, which they put on lock down yesterday..

Eveyone at the store the last two days, staring at empty shelves that needed shit paper for NOW, not because of the hype. Were all saying this is the Democrats, Liberals and the Establishment's fault. They aren't blaming Trump in the least bit.
Trump will end up being their Hero.
The People are going to drop the Zeros. I have to thank the Democrats for flushing the toilet, they were stinking up the joint.

The Democrat party is toast.

marcus says

Your fantasy life never ceases to amaze me. I'm not blaming Trump for what's happening, but I am clearly observing his recent displays incompetence. At least he's doing the right thing now.

Americans will chose their 401K and their Jobs over the Democrats in 2020. That much I will guarantee.
1 month ago, everyone was employed and saw opportunity for advancement. Now everything is in doubt, and they are scared, they know who to blame. And they aren't thinking Trump is incompetent, they are wondering why Barr hasn't indicted anyone yet.

marcus says

It will be interesting to see the creative arguments the dimbulbs come up with to argue that what we saw last week in Italy with doctors having to choose which people to let die, and what we saw before that with China clamping down on 16 million people to slow CV down, that that wasn't enough reason to enact these social distancing measures in urban areas for at least a while.

Hmmm... Let's shut down productive people for a disease that kills the unproductive? I have friends and family that could and likely will die from this. We're killing more people with this reaction and there will be no way to quantify it. I applaud Mark Cuban for his efforts and concerns for the common stadium employees, but that's not going to be the case country wide.

People ain't getting paid. Electricity will be cut off. They won't get food. Desperation sets in. I'd like to see a month to month suicide rate graph this time next year. It's going to spike. This is a complete and utter overreaction. It's frankly scary how easily people are spooked. Very few things kill healthy people including the fat ones under the age of 50. Pure stupidity to save some older dysfunctional people that likely have been kept alive by big pharma drugs at everyone else's expense....
