I hear Trump didn't like it when Putin tried to date-rape him. Not that it offended him all that much, but Trump was quoted as saying "I do all the raping around here."

such a failed 'business' man that he bankrupted many casinos with ties to Russia

People misunderstand what this was really about, and why he kept doing it. Those casinos allowed him to launder billions of dollars of Russian Mob money, and exploit the casinos into insolvency, and then just walk away, and stick everyone else with the bills.

It's not so much that he's a bad businessman (although he is), he's a CRIMINAL businessman, otherwise known as a Mobster.

Of course. Expect a lot of pro-Russia talk and policy in the near future. Also, Putin gave him orders to complain when he bombs Ukrainian hospitals and orphanages, but do nothing about it, so people won't think he's holding Trump's leash. Because we're all stupid, and can't see what's right in front of our faces.

At current NYC prices, businesses could afford to pay decent wages to their employees, except every business is hamstring by ridiculous commercial rent.

Almost every block used to have its own pizza joint, bakery, and deli. Then rent went up, and they all combined into one. Then rent went higher, and they finally all went out of business.

The primary problem with the NYC economy is rent. If rent could be regulated properly, and greedy landlords could be corralled, living and working, and especially operating a business in NYC, would increase spectacularly.

Yeah, I guess we should just keep electing the same corrupt losers who promise nothing, and do less.

Zohran is offering real changes, when everybody else seems to be perfectly comfortable with business as usual in MAGA Nazi America. Maybe they'll work, maybe they won't, and more likely it will be a mix of the two, but at least he wants to try something different than the usual losing strategies.

It seems like the best solution would be to confiscate Starlink and nationalize it. Same with Space X. We paid for all of it, it should be ours. He can still work there, but he'll collect a government salary, and expect to answer to a boss. Or get fired. Either way, I don't care.

He can keep Tesla, that will be bankrupt in 2 years anyway.

Okay, I get that. Porn used to be almost a dirty word, something you wouldn't say in polite company. Today, porn is considered just another accepted entertainment choice, and doesn't carry the same antisocial feel. Now they attach it to subjects to indicate something that is really interesting or beautiful, to the point of being sexy, like Guitar Porn, Car Porn, etc. so yeah, Porn has become almost a positive thing. Obviously, that doesn't work for Kiddie Porn.

So Child Sex Abuse Images works for me.

No, they are NOT the same things. Both are terrible, but child porn goes further, it's the filming/photography of abuse and rape.

That's like saying rape and murder are both the same, so let's charge them as the same crime. They aren't, they are both horrible, but let's identify these assholes by the very crime they have committed.

The MAGA Nazis would have supported him 100%.
