I suppose it's easier for them to mock the suffering of others rather than engage in a bout of self-reflection and work on why they are so angry and fearful constantly.

Nobody’s making fun of your braces anymore. You are literally a billionaire or a TV star. Grow the fuck up.

It wasn't HIS economy, though. So if he can't take credit for it, it's no good because HE is the genius. All he had to do was not break anything. Instead, he put on a blindfold before stumbling drunk into the china shop and swinging around a sledgehammer.

"Mr. Obama, in his reckless pursuit for unity, never considered that the response from so many Americans towards 'Yes We Can' turned out to be 'We'd rather not.' These Americans had no choice but to flock to Donald J. Trump."

Remember when GWB won in 2000? Wasn't the final cost of his campaign $67 million or thereabouts? And people were wowed by the exorbitant price tag? There is too much money in politics. Period. End stop.

How much of it is that some people have and idea of "order", and when that is upset or something comes along that doesn't fit into their idea of order, it becomes a personal affront? It's a weakness that they feel everyone else has to account for because that's easier than working on themselves.

It tracks. Too often the Founding Fathers are essentially deified, treated as if they were incapable of wrongdoing despite being flawed humans like anyone else. You see this in a hero worship a lot today, where criticism of one's hero is often registered as a personal attack.

I suppose it's easier to be cruel if you feel that you automatically have Christ's forgiveness and a place in heaven for the afterlife. There's a less of an incentive to be good in the current life if you feel like you're going to have a good spot in the next one.

Is it okay that our President needs this constant validation? He's like a five year old who draws something for Mommy, and we all have to fake enthusiasm because even if it's the same scribbly garbage as before or else he will throw a temper tantrum.

He's going to be recognized. It will be richly deserved, but not the way he wants to be.

He's sending us careening into a recession... and of course he doesn't care. Why would he? He's already taken care of himself at our expense. Everyone else is on their own.

The entirety of his second term has basically been inflicting revenge upon America because we dared to vote him out in 2020. His wee widdle fragile ego was dinged, so he decided that the "Nuclear Rage" option was the way to go.

In all fairness, while you aren't wrong, America was in a unique position during a time where Europe was still rebuilding after a devastating war. I 100% agree that the rich need to be taxed their fair share. It was such a unique circumstance back then, however. Results likely not the same.

I wouldn't demand it of them, but it's nice when they do. Works of art...whether it's film, literature, music, photography, and more...can convey a more powerful message than any one of us could do individually.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Mike Johnson affixing himself to the anchor that is Trump and plummeting to the bottom of the ocean is stupid in itself. The fact that he is dragging the rest of America down with him is making it vile.

Good people can do bad things. Bad people can do good things. Slapping a label of "bad" or "good" on someone never tells the whole story. We shouldn't forget that people are messy and complicated.

It's Kraft's stadium and he can do what he likes it with it. Likewise, I can choose to spend my time and my dollar elsewhere in response. I know my voice here is a drop in the ocean, especially with the NFL involved, but it's still my voice in the end.
