  1. We had a lot of good movies but Home Alone 2 wasn’t one of them. I don’t understand how anyone in my/our generation fell for the ruse that Donald Trump was a rich, successful businessman. I wasn’t old enough to drive yet in 1983 when Trump made his debut in the national media. Here was this loudmouth douchebag on a media tour celebrating the fact that he built a tall building in New York City. Big fucking deal. Lots of people have done that. Have you seen the city? Why is this a story? Why should I care? Oh, because he put his name on it? SO FUCKING WHAT?! Why should I care and why am I seeing him get this much media coverage over it? I had a negative reaction to him from the start and nothing changed as time went by. I saw that he was a frequent character on the cover of the National Enquirer. I thought that made him more of a joke. (It wasn’t until decades later that I learned that was part of his campaign of self-promotion to the rubes.) I watched as his affair with Marla Maples became national news while he was still married to Ivana. I saw how he had some success promoting himself as rich and successful but I also saw that he was the butt of jokes on Johnny Carson and Saturday Night Live. I watched as he bankrupted his businesses, including casinos where the house is supposed to always win. I watched as he was forced to sell his private jet. I watched as as he was reduced to making commercials for laundry detergent and fast food. Oh but look, he’s wearing a tuxedo. I guess that means he’s still got class. . i watched him ditch Marla for Melania, some Eastern Bloc gold-digger. I always found him to be a repulsive, cartoonish character. I never watched The Apprentice because I thought he was a joke for my entire adult life and then some. I thought everyone saw him that way. I never dreamed that so many people took him seriously, least of all others from my generation.
  2. That means he’s no saint. It doesn’t mean he’s a dumbass. I don’t know where Hank is coming from with that.
  3. Sounds woke.
  4. They’ll tell you that if you don’t support Trump and Netanyahu then you’re not a good Jew.
  5. Yeah, when I go into my bank’s app and see this header, I have to wonder what that even means anymore.
  6. This. Trump made it okay to say the quiet parts out loud again.
  7. And where did Kramer’s new, illicit shower head come from? From Russia, of course.
  8. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
  9. Of you? Or your sports teams? 😉
  10. After wiping out all the Palestinians in Gaza, maybe Bibi will give Trump a contract to develop some of that sweet new beachfront property on the Mediterranean. Or at least dangle the possibility in exchange for economic cover and looking the other way on genocide. (And by “looking the other way” I mean actively supporting.) That would be a win for Trump. No deficit there.
  11. I saw that thread. Bookmarked this article. https://www.expressnews.com/food/recipes-cooking/article/Texas-chili-beans-or-no-beans-in-chili-16826104.php https://archive.ph/3bmuy
  12. Someone should remind him that his first round of Chinese tariffs resulted in a record trade deficit.
  13. Obama would wind up in jail or in exile if he expressed any interest in running against Trump.
  14. Saw that on 60 Minutes tonight. Just sickening.
  15. If you guessed “Penguins,” you guessed wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/03/donald-trump-tariffs-antarctica-uninhabited-heard-mcdonald-islands
  16. “He’s a fucking moron.” - Rex Tillerson
  17. Maybe. Or maybe we’d just have a bunch of dead black guys.
  18. The right-wing media bubble is impenetrable.
  19. The last time stocks dropped this sharply was the last time Trump was president.
  20. Most Americans don’t know that reality tv isn’t reality.
  21. Sucks for the ones who voted for Kamala. Fuck all the rest of ‘em.
  22. Lol. Good luck with that. If they didn’t hear it on a Fox News prime time opinion show, it never happened.
  23. His narcissism. Except he can’t lose that. So he will never play second fiddle to anyone for any reason even if it’s an obvious sham. He’s not going to be anyone’s opening act.
  24. Does anyone seriously believe Trump would trust Vance (or anyone not named Trump) to step down if they’re elected president and allow him to take their place?
  25. I had no idea Justine was MAGA. That’s a shame. I’d have no way of knowing that. Growing Pains had cute-as-a-button Tracey Gold. I don’t know anything about her politics either.
