    Remember, people. Donald Trump couldn’t run a casino.

    A casino. A business that exists so people can just walk in and give you lots of money all for the hopes of maybe walking out with somewhat less money. And he failed. Six fucking times. He literally had thousands of people handing him money for nothing every single day and he still fucking failed.

    That is a level of fail I did not think was achievable by a functioning human being allowed to go outside without adult supervision. But there are somehow 80 million people in this fucking country that know that and are still saying “Yep, that’s our guy!”

        It’s already been proven that if Trump had simply done nothing but let the inheritance he got from his father collect interest, he would be significantly more wealthy than he is now.

        Which means all he had to do was nothing. Nothing. And somehow, he failed at that. The man failed at doing nothing.

        I take this as a sign that the swell of derision about their fawning attempts to shit on Biden with every minute of every working day has entered the mainstream and impinged on their consciousness

      It’s a pointless thing to talk about because Trump’s support is locked in and there’s nothing anyone can do to push Trump out. His being unfit to lead is a feature to his supporters, not a bug.

      There is, however, a slim chance that Biden may be able to be pressured out before august, so that’s really the only thing people should be focusing on until the convention is behind us.

            On Monday the paper’s editorial board also made Joe Biden the subject of a piece, in which it insisted that “that the best hope for Democrats to retain the White House is for him to step aside”, given that the president “continued to appear as a man in decline” following Biden’s disastrous debate against Trump in Atlanta last month.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Saluting Republicans that it said “pursued electoral power in service to solutions for such problems”, such as Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney, the Times board went on to say that “too many Republicans set aside their concerns about Mr Trump because of his positions on immigration, trade and taxes.

    Trump was convicted on 34 criminal charges concerning hush-money payments to a porn star that a jury agreed were designed to interfere with the 2016 election.

    Trump was impeached a second time for inciting an insurrection but Republican senators acquitted him, leaving him free to run for office.

    Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.

    It added that while Democrats “are rightly engaged in their own debate about whether President Biden is the right person to carry the party’s nomination into the election, given widespread concerns among voters about his age-related fitness”, the importance of that debate was down to “legitimate concerns that Mr Trump may present a danger to the country, its strength, security and national character – and that a compelling Democratic alternative is the only thing that would prevent his return to power.

    It said it was a “national tragedy that the Republicans have failed to … [set] aside their longstanding values” and ignoring what former Trump officials “have described as his systematic dishonesty, corruption, cruelty and incompetence”, and urged American voters to “perform a simple act of civic duty in an election year: listen to what Mr Trump is saying, pay attention to what he did as president and allow yourself to truly inhabit what he has promised to do if returned to office”.


    The original article contains 779 words, the summary contains 308 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

            It’s on account of how smart Trump’s genes are. Did you know his uncle went to MIT? Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if he were a liberal, if, like, OK, if he ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say he’s one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why he always starts off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know he has to give his like credentials all the time, because he’s a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers him — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; his uncle explained that to him many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, he would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

      1. He tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

      3. Russian financial interests/Putin has him by the balls.

      4. Sexual assault (sad this is so far down the list especially since we all knew before he was running)

      5. Fascist talking points at his rallys.

      6. IQ score is definitely sub 80s judging by his speeches.

      7. He wears lifts in his shoes and diapers in his pants. Anyone that needs that much support for his ego and bowels has no place in the white house.

      The Trump Fake Electors Plot:

      "After the results of the 2020 United States presidential election determined U.S. president Donald Trump had lost, a scheme was devised by him, his associates and Republican Party officials in seven states to subvert the election by creating and submitting fraudulent certificates of ascertainment to falsely claim Trump had won the electoral college vote in those states.

      Openly bragged about assaulting women? Mocked a person at a rally for physical disabilities? Disparaged a gold star family? Bankrupted a casino? Advocated (by taking out pages in newspapers) for the incarceration of 5 black teenagers without due process? General racist remarks and behaviors? Credible sexual assault allegations from many women, including at least one of his wives? Cheated on his 3rd wife with a pornstar while she was pregnant?

      Thats all before he was President, and off the top of my head, without any references or searching.
