Gee, if people had just realized he has no idea what he's doing 8+ years ago we all would've been better off.
I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.
He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.
And now it's vote for the senile felon.
Do you have the down payment to purchase this home?
We have the concept of a down payment.
I am going to print this out and hand it out to everyone I know
"I'm not president right now."
Neither is she, dumbass.
MF was pres for 4 years and we’re still joking about “infrastructure week”.
Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching “repeal and replace” and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.
They are all mentally bankrupt.
They are all mentally defective.
*Morally bankrupt
These aren't the actions of idiots, they're the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it's there.
Exactly.
This is all going according to some plan.
Capitalism seeks to optimize the use of resources.
Things are not optimized for you, they are optimized for the people that made the plan.
T: "She has no plan!"
Mod: "Do you have a plan?"
T: "Oh, well I'm not president yet so of course not yet!"
Imagine thinking that's a great way to convince people you're the right person for the job...
"I haven't looked into any potential solutions, but vote for me and I promise I'll try to find time to think about it!"
If you were perpetually "two weeks away" from releasing your "beautiful" healthcare plan 6 years ago then wtf are you doing now with nothing?
everytime he's out golfing he's conceptualizing a plan.
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
Worse, imagine how stupid you'd have to be to actually be convinced that he's the right person for the job. And then despair, because half the voters are that fucking stupid.
That this orange turd is even in the running as a president is heart breaking for this country.
The fact that this orange turd has a chance of actually winning, and how close it is, shows how broken the country is.
It is insane that he is not laughed out of any room.
Paraphrasing: "Hillary lost, so now it's time to go away. Go into the woods and enjoy your life, you lost."
If only he followed his own advice... Instead I'm sure we'll be seeing him yet again in another 4 years... The worst of us never die...
