Oh, but Trump was in favor of a sick dwarf-tossing contest.

McCarthy is now a hostage to his extreme MAGA right wing and the strain is starting to show.

… who said yesterday that McCarthy was lying like a dead dog.  Gaetz also called McCarthy:
“…a sad and pathetic man who lies to hold on to power.  

 
Putin loved the insurrection and seeing Americans fighting with each other.  I wonder how he feels about the members of the Putin wing of the Republican Party fighting among themselves.

…past all the burned down buildings set on fire by BLM and the 6 foot high pile of meth head turds covering every square inch of every Democrat run city in America. Did you guys mention something about governing?

contributing far less to the Federal government than they take in benefits. With Blue states it's the opposite. Basically, the liberal states are more successful and support Dumbfuckistan. This has been true forever.

…I’m guessing is because this country heavily subsidizes farms, and most farms are in rural red states. But in a rural town you expect them to be impoverished. In the last 20 years nothing much has changed in red states. You can’t say the same about blue states, especially their cities. Seattle, Portland and San Francisco were beautiful cities 20 years ago. They weren’t all that bad 10 years ago. Today they’re literally covered in shit. These cities went from the best that America has to offer to homeless meth heads biting passengers on the BART train. What happened? Have you guys ever taken a good hard look at this and thought about it?  

Chicago used to be an amazing city. Rich in culture and music. A truly American town. Now look at it. Endless crime. Endless homicides. Endless bloodshed.  

Why?

And with the subsidizing, then why are they improvised?? You're not taking the Joe Manchin attitude that these hillbillies are spending their government money on crack ot meth??
To be honest, I'd feel safer in SF, Seattle then say in some city with open carry and god forbid they also have a stand your ground law....Now with how the right want to control everybodys lives, I feel for the kids goring up in rural red states. They future is already planned and its for them as a cashier at the local WalMart

Re: Have you seen rural red states lately..
And they call this home..
Yeah actually I have and they do not generally look like this. You can go pick a picture of anything run down and say “oh that’s a red state!” How bout posting a picture of any large city in California? There’s nice parts and then…. More homeless than you can shake a stick at!

What he's "alleged" of doing is ripping off the state of 5M that was allocated for poor housing or something like that.
“The profiteering off the poor is ongoing,”..in the state of, drum roll please....Mississippi, a red state. And I'm sure this is going on in other red states as well. Its the let's pick on the minority, they'er just black folks.
Look at Texas....last I heard their electric grind is still shaky.
So righties...let this marinate for a minute.

Early 2020 wasn't bad at all, NOW? Are you fucking kidding me? Every time I go to the grocery store the same stuff increases in price, between VISITS ! ! ! but you all will say "That's Trump's fault right? Or it's my fault for not earning more?" How about that one?  This shit show doesn't appear to be abating either.

From 5/2021 up until the last 2 months, my business was in overdrive and I saw a major BOOM. You know why? I took advantage of what was in front of me. The supply chain took a hit and I jumped in to help retailer load their shelves. This happens because of the infusion of money to get the economy rolling and it revived a few factories here.
Yes cost of living has gone up as well as wages. I see this recovery as taking 3 steps forward and one step back.
Sorry, but I credit the Biden administration for this. As I said before, under trump this turn around doesn't doesn't happen as fast.
I don't want to disparage you anymore on how you make your living...but sometimes when the opportunity comes your way...you gotta jump at it.

To be your CEO....You on board with that? That was the choice we had to make then. And here's a hint, trump bankrupt many of his own companies..even a casino, how can you loose money there?
My guess is that you fell for Apprentice trump and bought into all the hype. Most New Yorkers all knew trumps deal.
But I welcome the changed to Biden, and I'm in a good spot now, as alot of workers we hired.

The Federal Government is not run the same way that State govs are run and are not run the same way that businesses are run. They each have different mandates from their Constitutions or Articles of Incorporation or the SEC.
.
The current Rep Governor candidates are bragging about their "cut! cut! cut!" state policies but they use the Feds as their emergency back up plan and piggy bank for every problem that comes along: hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, collapsed roads and bridges, health crises, ... .  They cut their education budgets and seek Fed help to improve their bottom of the barrel (Arkansas) public schools. They cut their health budgets and seek Fed help to provide affordable health care to their citizens. They "cut! cut! cut!" in-state but cry "gimme! gimme! gimme!" to the Feds to pay for bailouts and urgent projects.  
.
There are many types of businesses but let's just start with one: SEC regulated for-profits. They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. They can start drilling a hole in the ground, decide it won't be profitable, declare bankruptcy and walk away from it ... and start a NEW company the next week.  
.
THE FEDERAL GOV CANNOT OPERATE THAT WAY.
.
Trump called himself the King of Debt ("I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt, nobody knows debt better than me. I made a fortune by using debt."). In addition to losing millions of dollars on failed ventures (Trump Shuttle; Trump Plaza; all of his 18 world class golf courses LOSES money year after year; etc.), Trump has filed for SIX BANKRUPTCIES, FIVE of them on casinos.  *****During the 2016 campaign Trump even declared that he would renegotiate the national debt,***** a policy that EVERY economist, politician, normal person, and third grader said was insane and indicative of Trump's lack of understanding of the US economy and international finance.  
http://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-yeah-so-ill-declare-america-bankrupt-james-barrett
Trump: Yeah, So I’ll Declare America Bankrupt.
"In a discussion on CBS News Wednesday about how he would handle America’s crushing debt, Donald Trump said he’d use the same approach he’s used for his businesses: “renegotiate the debt.” In other words, walk America through a form of national bankruptcy. ..."
.
In 1970, Trump invested $70,000 ($527,000 in 2022 dollars) in a Broadway play, Paris is Out! It opened on Feb 2, 1970 and closed on Apr 18, 1970 after 96 performances. Not exactly Life With Father (3224 performances). Speaking of Life with Father, Trump's father Fred rescued Donald from serious business failures with cash bailouts time after time. When Donald was about to lose one of his AC Casinos, Fred sent a bag man with $3.5 million to buy some chips but not play them or cash them in. IT TURNS OUT THAT THAT IS AN ILLEGAL LOAN. "New Jersey’s Casino Control Commission investigated the chip purchase the following year and said it was an illegal loan that broke the state’s rules about casinos receiving cash from approved financial sources. The Inquirer wrote that a casino lawyer told the paper that “Fred Trump is ineligible for licensing, and Trump Castle should be required to return the money, a move that would almost certainly force it into bankruptcy court.” In the end, the casino kept the money and the commission fined the casino the relatively small amount of $65,000. But it didn’t save Trump. A year later, the Trump Castle went into bankruptcy, and Donald gave up half the casino to his creditors."
.
In the late 1980s, Trump pictured himself as a Corporate Raider and concocted a series of Pump and Dump stock transactions. It worked at first but investors caught on to his lies: "By 1989, investors were less fooled by his moves. That September, he bought a large stake in American Airlines and announced a takeover bid. “I’m very skeptical of everything this man does,” Andrew Geller, then an airline analyst at Provident National Bank in Philadelphia, told The Associated Press.  Mr. Trump was rebuffed, and the stock price fell sharply. Though at the time his losses were reported to be modest, the new tax return figures show that in 1990, the year he sold his American Airlines stake, Mr. Trump lost $34.9 million on short-term trades."
.
(More recently, Trump's SPAC deal is unraveling due to insider trading and stock fraud. And some of Trump's fund raising organizations are being investigated for fraud.)  
.
Do you remember when Trump bragged about not paying Federal taxes for many years because he was SMART? It turned out that he had lost so much money that he was able to use his business losses to offset having to pay taxes for YEARS:  
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/07/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html
"Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses"
.
"... In fact, year after year, Mr. *****Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer,***** The Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years."
.  
Trump was "saved" by The Apprentice TV show and Mark Burnett. Trump inherited more than $413 M from his father Fred. If Donald had invested that in Index Funds he would be wealthier today than he currently claims to be. Trump got around $427 M from 14 years on The Apprentice.  
.
That's only part of Trump's "business portfolio and resume." Trump's PERSONAL bona fides as a businessman are abysmal. ***You would hire DONALD Trump to run one of your businesses?*** I think you really want to hire FRED Trump or Mark Burnett, the men who made Donald wealthy and allowed Donald to think that he, himself, knew "The Art of the Deal."

Re: Let me tell you where I stand...
Unfortunately not everyone had the opportunity to "jump in and help." Supply chain IS my business.  
 We didn't have much choice but to play with the hand that we were dealt.  
 Our supply chain took a hit one million percent thanks to our failing administration.  
   
 Lets say this....sleepy Joe submits his business portfolio and resume to become your company president.  
 There's not a snowball's chance in hell you would have given that guy an opportunity. Especially with younger, better business applicants. If there were no other good quality applicants you would have held where you were.  
   
 That's what most business would do. So why in the hell would we vote that guy in as President of the US? If we wouldn't do it in the real world, why would we do it for that. Most people could see that coming from a hundred miles away. I guess there were eighty million who didn't.... So they say.
The Federal Gov is NOT a business. It cannot operate as a business. It must operate according to the Constitution. It can operate BETTER than it has for the past 60+ years but that does not mean it should operate like Trump Org, a business convicted of criminal fraud and soon to be convicted of civil fraud.
