    There’s a simple reason Trump acts like a cheap crook.

    When he was working with the New York Mafia the real bosses kept their distance, because they knew he was a loudmouth weakling who’d never kept a secret.

    Instead, they’d send low level goombahs to run him. Mooks who thought ripping off change machines at a laundry made them smart.

    A Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, would have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017.

      The red hats claim you know he’s honest because he already has money therefore he isn’t in it to enrich himself. I mean, he donated his salary guys! IDK how you fight that kind of stupid.

        Gosh, why are all these do nothing Democrats getting defeated by DSA candidates in primaries?

        A 30 year incumbent in Colorado was just defeated by a 29 year old socialist and the race wasn’t even close.

              We just need “nice” billionaires! They’ll defeat all the Nazi billionaires with facts and logic when they see them at their next dinner party on their super yacht.

          I’m hoping that the recent elections of Democratic Socialists help push the centrist Dems to get off their ass, stop relying solely on donor money, and actually govern for their constituents.

          But we’ll see.

            Should they stop condemning the wrongdoings of the bad guys? Why are you out here clowning on people for doing what they’re supposed to be doing?

              Because they’re clowns. Beholden to their pocketbooks more than the American people.

              And we are soundly rejecting them by electing so many Democratic Socialists. There will be more to come, too.

                So your logic is - that because these people don’t have proper values, that them attacking The Bad Guys deserves your derision?

                Wild, but ok whatever

                  Oh it’s an “attack” to post a strongly worded letter now?

                  On second thought, that line was a little catty. Edited it out.
