I know that no one believes his pretext of stopping drug trafficking because he pardoned one of the biggest in the world. What a fucking asshole.

He finally stopped lying about one thing, I’m not saying that this isn’t potentially newsworthy, what I’m saying is that this is not an important news story, it’s not a “shocking” revelation that the article claims.

If he finally stopped lying about it, to me, it means there really must be nothing there.

He’s old, old people bruise easily. He’s also incredibly vain, hence the atrocious hair and orange skin. I’m not sure why anyone is shocked that he would wear make up on his hands to cover bruising. Could it be from IVs, could it be from blood thinners, could it be from being clumsy? All are possible and he would use make up for any of them.

Could there be more going on with his health? Yes. But the story doesn’t tell you anything more than what is going on with most people who are 80 years old.

I hate Trump but this is not explosive or shocking in terms of health concerns for someone his age, if anything, it’s very mild. I’m not even 40 and wear compression socks every day for chronic venous insufficiency, it doesn’t mean I’m dying or in poor health. I have varicose veins and I’ve had them for most of my entire life, it’s an issue I’ve inherited from my parents and mostly just puts me at more of a risk for blood clots.

That’s fair.

I think France and/or USSR win this one. No monarchs, “re-educated” or not.

Cromwell Coulson, the chief executive of OTC Markets, which runs a stock market, said that if the new mayor and Ms. Khan too aggressively single out large companies, they could sour the city’s business climate

Fuck em and fuck you. Let those companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to have less access to the biggest market in the country.

I would like to know more but I don’t want to give my email address to some website I may never look at again just to see pricing/restrictions of something I might want.

What do you expect to happen?

Probably nothing and he dies a sadly comfortable life.

I participate in protests and boycotts, I donate as much as I can to organizations I believe in. I talk to my friends about trying to organize more and I constantly talk to them about a general strike and a need to shut the system down as it is. My career actively helps against waste and climate change. You’ll probably say that’s the bare minimum and maybe it is but I have a family to take care of so I can’t be out there like Greta Thunberg. It’s not that I don’t think violence can change things but I’m a nonviolent person.

I understand that my comments on a niche social media website will do nothing to change anything.

My apologies if that’s not enough for you random stranger.

Yes they’re out and there’s some terrible shit about him in there but he doesn’t want anyone asking him questions about it. You should know since it sounds like you’ve had enough time to read over 30,000 pages.

Do I think being best buddies with a known peodphile and sex trafficker is the worst thing he’s done, probably not but he absolutely doesn’t want to talk about it because he has no good answers.

It’s all part of his flood the zone tactics to control the narrative of anything. So, he’ll continue to violently kill and imprison people, and put his name on stupid shit, and kill the planet with coal, and tear down the norms of this country. Anything to provide distractions that his base can focus on and to avoid any questions or prosecution.

So more distractions from the Epstein files?

I’m not a fan of fast food burgers, I get a chicken sandwich at pretty much all fast food burger places. That said, there’s a chain in Colorado called Good Times and they’re burgers are great!

 

Or they could just give the money to non profits that are already helping kids but that wouldn't curry favor with their master.

 

Great comedy and history podcast, one comedian researches a story and reads the story to a second comedian. This is an older episode where the history of automobiles is discussed with focus on ways the car business, propaganda, and the government helped create the current car culture in the US.
