Title: Trump does something good
Post by: Hydra009 on January 17, 2019, 02:53:03 PM
With a title like this, I don't anticipate this being a long thread, lol.

But credit where it is due, Trump recently signed a bill providing backpay (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/17/back-pay-approved-furloughed-federal-employees-once-shutdown-ends/?utm_term=.4c97fc61d32f) for federal employees (even the Democrats) affected by the longest government shutdown in American history.

There's just one eensy weensy catch:  it only goes into effect AFTER the shutdown is over, which is cold comfort for people struggling to make rent right now.  Potential money doesn't pay the bills.

Also, it probably would've been better to not cause this problem in the first place, but c'est la vie.

I'm sure Putin (and therefore Trump) would be happy if the U.S. government stayed closed permanently. Is the government small enough yet to be drowned in a bathtub?

Ah ... so Queen Pelosi says .. no State of the Union for you.  Trump said to day, no free military flights for congressional junkets, including the one you are on a bus to go to the air base to fly to.  But she and the other congress-critters are free to buy their own tickets on regular airlines.

I would have put them on the military flight, but dropped them off at Guantanamo ;-)

Yeah but its fine if the Slovakian Slut goes to Mar A Lago on the taxpayer's dime.  Fuck Trump.

I hoped this thread was about him slitting his own throat.

See, you win the Most Marxist award.  How Plebian.

Also jealous of other men's wives.  I have never had that sin.

This is where people imply that they love the movie Caligula.

You will never see a kind word about that miserable piece of treacherous criminal shit from me.  Deal with it.

You are free to be an anarchist, rebel, criminal, traitor ... or just miserable person (not saying you are any of those).  I certainly understand being miserable myself.

But psychologically, basing your entire existence on hatred, doesn't sound healthy to me, just saying.

I don't see it that way.  I'm quite content but there are some things that require passion.

When you have a president of the US sucking the cock of a Russki scumbag, that fits the bill.

I'm worried about what else Trump can do while he has the authority to do it. What will he do if he begins to feel that he has nothing left to lose? What will desperation cause him to childishly destroy?

They got a cabin with a dirt floor, and all the corn husks they could eat ;-)

Will be good to see the Democrats put into the cotton fields again, this time non-racists ... White and Colored Democrats can work together in solidarity?

If you voted for Hitlary ... that fits the bill too ... don't ask for whom the blue dress cock stains.

You may find out Saturday afternoon.  I would suggest your will be up to date?  Guantanamo is nice this time of year.

New evil comparison ... yes, Pinochet's Chile is better than Maduro's Venezuela.  And the US is a banana republic too.

In all fairness, I don't think Melania likes him much either.

I bet she likes his money, though, if not him. I think they deserve each other - a match made in hell.

I don't see you as particularly feminist (oh no!) ... not that you need to be.  As on most things, I see both good and bad in humanity.

Women traditionally don't have their own careers (except only recently in a few places).  Most earlier feminists had women only working until they got married or got pregnant.  In that case women didn't have much economic opportunity, other than home life or prostitution.  Certainly for most women a man being well endowed physically and economically, is very important.  Usually for men, only the first part is important.  Beta Males don't mind a powerful/wealthy cougar keeping them as a pet.

"Don't worry, guys. After I'm done fucking you in the ass, using you as hostages to get what I want from the Democrats, I'll totally pay you back."

What a saint.

If only he would adopt the 1960s DNC totalitarianism of Timothy Leary and Ralph Nader?  I am looking forward to reducing the Feds by 50%, that would be a big accomplishment.  If the States want to hire these experienced people, then go for it.  Make DC into the new Detroit.
