Okay. So we're going to pretend that Biden* isn't an establishment warmongering pig now.

He should probably announce that he was just kidding about all of his cabinet picks so far then.

All of them.

Firing Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger was a pretty great gift too.

It's going to be funny watching Biden* explain to his base why he gives them their jobs back.

6ix, I don't think you are sane, but all the people I know who defend Trump are plagued with multiple problems, either mental, marital, medical, dental, familial, financial, or spiritual, except for the rich Republican voters I know. It is because insane people attract problems like magnets attract iron or like sticky bug stripes attract flies. I'll give an example of historic crazy people -- the Confederates -- who brought down a well-deserved avalanche of trouble on themselves.

After Lincoln was elected but before he was inaugurated, the Confederates pulled out of the Union. Lincoln had done nothing, yet, but just his existence was too much for them. They were insane to promote/defend slavery. Likewise, Biden has done nothing, yet, but just his existence is too much for Trump's defenders. Mental problems or insanity, again. A very simple example of those mental problems:

Army bases are strewn throughout the American South and were named, in part, to help win support for the new installations in former Confederate territory. "It should be noted that the naming occurred in the spirit of reconciliation, not division," Brig. Gen. Malcolm B. Frost said in 2015 when pushing back against a name change at Fort Rucker, an Alabama site named for Confederate officer Edmund Rucker.

The Pentagon's hesitance transformed into acceptance over the summer, with Mark Esper, then the defense secretary, agreeing that the bases' names needed changing. Trump very much disagreed, having latched onto the fight over Confederate monuments and flying a Confederate battle flag as an easy way to earn points with his core voting bloc.

In June, Trump summed up his stance when he tweeted out his undying support for brave Confederate soldiers like Gen. Braxton Bragg, considered by historians to have been one of the most incompetent Southern generals, and Gen. Henry Benning, who argued that abolition of slavery would lead to the destruction of the white race, declaring, "Give me pestilence and famine sooner than that."

There are serious national security considerations — and a lot of money — on the line for what's essentially Trump’s bid to keep racists happy. It's worth wondering how much of this pettiness is based on Trump's own racist beliefs and how much of it is his angling for a 2024 presidential bid and wanting to ensure he doesn't alienate his base in the meantime? That's unclear, but the effect is the same either way: On his way out the door, Trump remains committed to tying his own legacy to that of the Confederacy, keeping the racist through line that's been present his entire time in office.

Although I would add being a Troll second to the list of problems Trumps supporters have.

Thanks for the prognosis, Dr. Fuckwit.



I couldn't possibly care any less about your opinions on the weather, let alone what you think of me.



What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

Ed: How much should we charge for this pizza?
Anne: $10!
Ty: 2 for $10!
Liz: $100!
Ed: Uggh.. I guess we have to charge $100 for the pizza.
Anne: Why?

Ty: Liz is from California. After we removed the Electoral College we let Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat urban shitholes and their terrible money management infect the entire nation and now nobody can afford to live anywhere anymore. $95 of the $100 we collect will go to the government for taxes even though we did all the work.

Anne: So we only get $1.25 each then?

Ty: No. We actually owe $1.25 each after paying for the ingredients and the overhead to run our restaurant.

[End Scene]

This has been the destruction of America in the alternate timeline where Democrats can actually manage to get enough people in power to get a Super Majority to end the Electoral College.

Remember this posting of yours? I saved it under "Why 6ix family life was horrible."

. . . And years and many horrible financial decisions later (and minus my dad's child support), they don't have much to their name, when they should probably have a couple of million saved up with all those years in the 401k and 20 years running a successful business. But they're basically retarded when it comes to money and they pissed it all away.

I've already let it be known to my brother that he and my pharmacist sister in law can foot her expenses when the time comes to put her in a home. I'm not paying a dime, and I'm sure as hell not giving her a place to live either.

Seriously. Why would anybody ever want to get married?

My parents did me a huge favor.

That's only a small part of the posting. 6ix, Sigmund Freud would say you have issues with parents and marriage and money. Or in fewer words, you are nuts, 6ix, but not as flamboyantly crazy as all the other Trump defenders I know in Texas. Amusingly, at least to me, they all think of themselves as hard workers and models of sanity and rectitude. They are not. It so funny how delusional they are about themselves.

And where exactly did you get your Psychology degree again, Dr. Fuckwit?

They teach Psychology at fake Oil Tycoon/Cattle Rancher Business school then, do they?
