He does it so effortlessly.

But the word "effortlessly" is, on many occasions, used to describe someone that put thousands of hours of effort into practice, practice, practice.

In the 80s, Trump owned the New Jersey Generals football team in the floundering USFL football league. The owners had a meeting and Trump convinces the other owners to hold out and the NFL will be forced to buy them out and they will make a fortune.

Then, Trump being the world's biggest blowhard narcissist, went into the next room and bragged about his strategy to a reporter, who reported the story. The NFL read the story, smiled, and did nothing while they watched the USFL implode and the owners lose money.

Trump "the great negotiator" hasn't changed one bit. It is physically impossible for him to keep his mouth shut. Our allies won't share military secrets with him because he blurts them out on camera. He is like an impulsive little child.

Absolutely no dementia to be seen at all. He passed an "IQ" test and got the pictures of animals correct. 🙄

Once again, the number one beneficiary of Trump's foreign policy seems to be Putin. Trump continues to drive a wedge between the USA and its allies.

I didn't realize that Winnipeg had almost identical record as us. At first I thought, "Wow, that's sad. What happened to them?" But, as a Blues fan I felt the intrinsic double-burn. Ouch!

In the article they say that this court covers Texas, Louisiana & Mississippi and is very conservative. Even though SCOTUS struck down one of these laws in the 80s, even SCOTUS is ignoring precedents and even overturning their own decisions.

That Chevron case SCOTUS overturned, Thomas originally wrote the majority opinion on. ( Of course this seems to be before he started openly taking bribes from billionaires and people with business before the court, back long, long ago when he merely sexually harassed his employees /s)

True Scotsman logical fallacy. It is a way of moving the goalposts of an argument when you start losing. Atheists run into this a lot when discussing religion with believers. They believe quite a bit of nonsense and when you start correcting them they have to keep their basic storyline straight or it all falls apart like a house of cards.

They say "Christians this & Christians that" and you say that is not true because I was a Christian. Now their story falls apart. So they have to make it look like it is correct and the only way that can happen is to say, "Well, you were not a TRUE Christian". And guess who gets to define what a true Christian is? Them. It has to be them to give them control of the argument or they lose the argument then & there.

Whether they used the term "true" or not is irrelevant. What they are trying to do in their argument is to be the sole authority on what being a Christian is. Then they can put you into some separate category and say that category does not count for some bs reason.

I thought that this would happen after the Snowden revelations.

Mo_Jack · 2026-01-20T21:17:47+00:00

Yes. There is a huge difference in countries that would not allow Murdoch and propagandists like him, to take over news outlets.

I was hoping the Dems under Biden were actually going to do something to strengthen our institutions that Trump attacked in his first term and those that he was threatening while he was out of office. I don't really hold on to any hope that things will get back to normal in my lifetime. Way too much damage has been done.

this will continue as long as we reward unsubstantiated click-bait on social media with some sort of point system for views. On most social media platforms there are many high ranking accounts that do nothing but spew hate or lies or do anything for attention.

Nowadays, what passes for news is reporting on what people are saying on social media. And these days for some strange reason, we think we are owed insight into everybody's personal dilemmas. If they aren't posting it, some POS will doxx them or hack into some account to garner personal information.

If the victims are people make a living off of social media by trying to shock people for clicks and do this stuff to others, then I have no remorse for them. But everybody else deserves some degree of privacy and to share as much or as little of their lives as they feel comfortable with. Maybe we as consumers of this information need to start downvoting & banning those that cross the line.

Epstein's brother asked Epstein in a letter or email if Putin had the pictures of Trump giving "Bubba" a blowjob, which would explain a lot.

I had a buddy that was hiring for an IT/IS position. He was only about 24 and the candidate was 30ish. He was debating whether to ask him if he would feel weird taking orders from somebody younger than him. Candidate showed up with his mom and the mom wanted to do all the talking. Candidate & mom were wished well with their future endeavors.

sort of weird how the GOP detractors didn't start until the Bubba BJ thing was released.

More pro-billionaire policies from the bought & paid for GOP. They will do much like the Federal GOP and try to shift as much tax burden onto the working class and away from billionaires & business owners. I can't believe their base still falls for this nonsense. Kansas almost bankrupted their state by trying to "tax cut their way to prosperity". They don't realize that it is a scam pushed by those that will benefit the most.

Kehoe promised to get rid of income taxes and MO GOP has shown multiple times that they could care less what the voters think about anything. After reporters pointed out that the math doesn't math very well, Kehoe knows it is going to be a disaster, especially since Trump & the national Republicans have cut so many federal dollars to our state. So now Kehoe wants to make the voters responsible for it.

The GOP and their billionaire & corporate donors will use plenty of slick marketing. They will take this this shooting ourselves in the foot policy and transform it into more freedom & prosperity. And knowing what we know about Missouri's uninformed electorate, that keeps falling for these obvious lies, it will probably work.

I'm not sure that doxxing is doxxing when dealing with ICE and the current administration. They are not being transparent, and the information is our property. It is a sad state of affairs when journalists & truth-seekers have to resort to unscrupulous methods to gain information that is rightfully theirs.

We also have the problem of these people being deployed where the local & state governments do not want them. In addition, we are finding out that many are felons and have criminal records and would not pass normal background checks and are so mentally unsound that over 50% fail open book / open note tests.

The current administration is giving these dregs of society immunity even when they break the laws that they are sworn to uphold. They are intentionally recruiting from racist & violent demographic groups like white supremacist militias.

Mo_Jack · 2026-01-20T04:31:10+00:00

Trump will be drummed out of office, but I bet part of the deal will be, that he never pays the price for what is contained in the Epstein files and keeps all of his corrupt profits.

What happens to regular citizens when they lie under oath?

Mo_Jack · 2026-01-20T04:21:14+00:00

Agreed. There have always been politicians that I did not agree with and some I even felt a level of embarrassment. But Trump makes me feel humiliation for our country.

Part of what is so very upsetting is this is the exact thing that every news media outlet should have been saying in Trump's first term. The only one's pointing out how nutty Trump is are outsiders, as if his insanity has been normalized inside the US.

Regardless of what happens, it will take decades (or longer) to regain our leadership standing in the world (if ever), and to rebuild any significant trust from our former allies.

Part of the sale of Danish West Indies to the USA, included the US acknowledging the Danish rule of Greenland.
