I feel like I’m listening to a car salesman

That’s all this asshole ever was and ever will be, really. Guy made shitty real estate deals as a nepobaby failson and had a very big mouth. That’s pretty much all he is.

Most of the people in NYC, and probably most of the people on the Eastern seaboard, tended to know who he was even by the early 90s. If they paid even the least bit of attention. But that stupid gameshow and that dumb book gave a whole lot of idiots the idea that he was really something more and somehow worthy of giving any power.

Christ, what a fucking asshole.

Oh yeah, since he and his son surely promised they will kill any kind of news or entertainment that makes Pedonald have a sad.

Oh yeah, I imagine.

They want to treat them like a government contractor and put them on super secret double probation, oops, I mean, they want to stop them from doing sooper dooper totally unlegal “DEI”, which, in Orwellian fashion, they call “discrimination”.

One other note - I’ve been reminded of this scene so many times in my lifetime. It’s probably one of the most true things said about American culture. Even if so many wingers and reactionary centrists have taken issue with me pointing them at this scene. Jack’s character really sees America here.

‘Course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free ‘cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare 'em.

What country are you emigrating to? How long was the process?

I think you are also on the hook to pay American taxes, too. So I guess Pedonald would be taking the “unitary executive theory” all the way to King George territory and we have taxation w/o representation for the expats, too…

Probably has a lot to do with why he’s on his third wife and drinks.

It’s really too bad they haven’t found a way to safely augment penises. This might solve so many problems with people like this…

I think Scouting America should reverse any kind of concessions they made immediately after the Jamboree, and tell these monsters that they’ll just wait them out, thank you very much, because the next Jamboree is in 2030.

Yep. These people squealed and continue to squeal about things like “political correctness”. It turns out they want everyone to bow to THEIR political correctness.

This is something that was glaringly obvious even back in the 90s when they first started Karening out over everything that was “PC”.

I wonder if this stupid Faux News host has ever even bothered to learn anything at all about the Scouts and their principles.

Exactly. What Donvict’s crime wave is doing is hollowing out everything that made us strong. The brain drain has already started.

The fuck your feelings crowd loves to mock the “reality-based community”. Which is kind of strange for a set of people that claim to value rationality over being emotional.

Why bother with such reality-based things when we have people voting based on vibes for people that have run their whole lives based on vibes?

That’s been the case for all the other attacks, including the ones he has done WITHIN the United States. No mandate and no legal basis.

Yep. I’ll be surprised if his numbers fall through the Sarah Palin Floor. Or the Nixon Resignation Floor.

Wake me up when his numbers fall below the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resignation Floor.

There are a certain set of people that support Republicans no matter what they do.

Even if Republicans completely reverse themselves on things like elective wars (Pedonald attacking and/or threatening to attack several countries), taxes (tariffs for everyone!), and deficits (see Cheney’s comments on deficits).

Back when Americans still were almost 100% operating under the stupid protein myths (these days, I think it is a least a little better, but there has been a huge rise in marketing protein to people as if they aren’t getting enough, lol, so I really don’t know if people have a better grasp of nutrition now or not, even with easily-available information sources now online. Back then, spotting a vegetarian in the wild outside of major metro areas, anyway, was like spotting Bigfoot and the very concept of not eating meat was something that made most people’s brains short out.) and virtually everyone thought you needed a big portion of some meat on your plate… my boomer parents were trying to scrape by, they would have liver about once or twice a week to make ends meet.

It wasn’t until a bit later when they read a bit more about vegetarianism that they realized they could easily sub in things like beans/rice to round out meals and not only was it far safer and a lot less disgusting, it was cheaper and had an incredibly long shelf life. And they didn’t have to worry about the family being malnourished or anything.

It’s less about him being born between certain years and more about being part of the Epstein class. Not all boomers have that many resources, either.

His advice to opt for low-grade meat, however…I’m not sure if that’s a consequence of his delusions about needing to have animal flesh in the diet or his complete lack of care for others. Possibly both.

If he had instead suggested eating less meat and subbing in things like rice and beans (especially buying and storing dried beans) to help stretch the budget, it would have at least been a bit more fact-based, especially when you consider the long-term costs of eating harmful things like meat.

Subbing in shitty cuts of meat, especially questionable things like liver…JFC. I realize even telling others to eat rice and beans is going to come off as uncaring and out of touch for someone as rich as himself, even if it’s true, but telling them to eat crappy meat? Just…wow.
