I beat this game several times as a child, holding the B button down with the shield at the ready for the entire time. 

But—gasp— he told us his money was placed in a trust! I guess somebody bought this for him.

“Trump’s system cost about $50,000, and was put in during the last few weeks in a room in his personal quarters, a White House official said.”

“Everyone who survived having the measles in the 50s survived!” is the definition of a survivorship fallacy, yeah? Like, “all the Boomers alive today lived through a measles outbreak” is about as reasonable as arguing that nuclear bombs aren’t powerful because there are still a few Hiroshima survivors alive today.

Well, he was a Democrat for starters. Then he had the nerve to go and tell America we had some big problems that were going to require hard work and sacrifice to fix. Reagan was the political equivalent of a dope-pusher telling Americans what they wanted to hear and letting them do whatever they wanted because the…

Trump made a big show of putting his share of the company in a trust, then quietly changing it to a trust he has access to. 

I mean, the “Grand, Old” Party was formed several years after the Democratic Party, but sure, “grand and old” because they want to return to the 19th century, I guess.

We should have dissolved the confederate states, erased the county borders, and made them start over as new territories in new shapes. “Virginia”and “the Carolinas” should have been trivia answers about former states that were destroyed during the War of Southern Treason.

We saw 8 years of Republicans refusing to participate in government in any productive capacity during Obama’s terms, and we decided “nah, we got this” and coasted to a loss in 2016. Liberals buy in to that old saw about how the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice and think that progress is an inevitability…

Nah, this is much more Frank Underwood explaining to the camera that “...and tomorrow I’ll do exactly what she said and nobody will dare to mention it” with villainous undertones.

Except his business model was “buy any space you can near any other competitor and undercut them until they go out of business.”  He has good reason to think that if he’s just out there enough people who prefer their original store will cross over when their original favorite closes up shop.  

He just knows that’s what Fox says when they want to explain why Trump has never cracked 50% in any poll. 

I remember the sequestration was an artificial consequence Congress set for themselves to force them to reach an agreement. But one party, who a,ways acts in bad faith, was so excited by the prospect of, say, massive across the board cuts that they let it happen anyway. 

“As a popular multi-millionaire, I’ve found this church to be particularly welcoming and understanding.  And this car dealership, and this realtor, and...”

Well, more like losing a finger, then. I’m trying to state that everyone understands the calculus of necessity in every other instance. People who wouldn’t let a dog suffer will force a woman to carry her rapists baby to term.  

Wasn’t that how we wound up with sequestration?

You use an “a” when the h is pronounced and you use “an” when the h is silent. “A horse” vs “an hour.”

“Whities” is not the sort of spelling a native English speaker would use, comrade. 

saying outrageous inflammatory and outright wrong things is this troll’s MO. 

Do you think we’d get a more accurate account of the rallies if only Brietbart, The Daily Stormer neo-Nazis, and Fox News showed up?
