    I’m old enough to remember when that was every day. Now we gotta wait for Don-old to kick the bucket (from natural causes, obviously) to bring those days back.

      I’m old enough to remember when that was every day.

      I grew up in the 80s, and his name was constantly in the local news. Most of it about how exciting his new casinos were… or how he stiffed contractors… or how he ran the casinos into the ground. Something many of the adults at the time seem to have forgotten about completely. facepalm

        I remember before the 2016 election I saw an interview of one of the contractors he stiffed. They were still pretty pissed about it and they said they’d never work for him again.

        Of course, they said they were going to vote for him. Because he was a “businessman”.

        I grew up in the 00’s and I still had to listen to the news constantly telling us about how he got towns to kick people out of their homes so he could expand the parking lots for his casinos and hotels.

        Trump not being in my local news is yet another wonderful aspect of growing up in Hawaiʻi. My exposure to him was in tabloid entertainment news where he still belongs.

    We thought this after he lost the first time, but it will really take this second defeat to truly vanquish these foes

    Even then, the kids will still be around to terrorize us for years, even decades to come.

      Super not looking forward to Senator Eric Trump and Secretary of State Ivanka Trump. Don Jr might just do a shitty show on daily wire and complain about any woman who won’t fuck him, which is most women but he doesn’t understand that the company he keeps is already shallow enough to put up with him so his sample size of women who will fuck him is harshly skewed when compared to all women. Especially sad because he’s already too old for that, but I’m thinking this will be when he’s even older. This is the world I’m predicting in like 2033. Prove me wrong, America. Make all of these shady fucks irrelevant.

        I predict a different trajectory:

        Ivanka/Jared will continue to avoid public life, remaining quietly evil in private. Don Jr. will have a quick and rabid rise on FoxNews.88, which will, inexplicably, take in and “blow” through millions of dollars monthly on “operating costs” right up until Don Jr.’s heart explodes on-air mid-rant, which then cuts to Kimberly Aluminum Foil just as her lips deflate into gigantic, leathery saddlebags. Neither are seen again. Nor missed.

        Representative (because no way is he getting elected senator) Eric Trump’s helicopter crashes in Long Island Sound when he attempts to grab the controls from, who he believes are, LEGO minifigs flying the craft.

          I don’t wish death on anyone, but this trajectory is actually sadly quite predictable. Ivanka seems smart enough to avoid negative press. Don Jr. clearly has a inferiority complex and wants to impress Dad. He even signs his name similarly. He’s like a dumber Kendall Roy

          Eric may never be a representative but the “death by heli / small airplane” is sadly common among rich people who can’t be bothered sitting in traffic in a limousine.

    Trump himself probably dreams of a day where he doesn’t have to see his money grubbing progeny as well.

        True. But I think Ivanka is getting a bit old for his tastes.

        […] while discussing the possibility of Ivanka’s posing for Playboy magazine: “It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what’s inside the magazine. I don’t think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

    You do know that most of their shit in my feeds comes from people not liking them, and posting their stupid stuff to show us how stupid they are. Negative advertising is still advertising.

      Just like how America wanted to ignore Nazi Germany and stay out of conflict? No thanks. Discussion around conflicts is generally much more good for public awareness and education than promoting intollerance.

        You have a point, and I support that. But it’s just too much. The whole internet (English speaking social media) is currently just a shit storm of American politics that nobody cares about. We’ve seen 50 different angles of a stupid ear. Daily we see 10 different politicians, news stations or whatever people that suddenly get a platform saying stupid stuff about <insert other side here>. And do you know what we don’t get? Actual discussion about actual problems.
