This is their plan. I'm afraid people will not give it much credence.




Here is the contents:

"And there it is, America, in terms as stark as the choice itself: you can kneel for a dynasty or stand for a nation"

The Washington Post

Trump and his family are "a dynasty that will last for decades," campaign manager says https://wapo.st/34AwfMW

i was wrong. hell, i have never been more wrong about anything ever.
can't say i blame you, since it's quite obviously ridiculous, but at this point i think we have to grant it the possibility of occurring.

2. Can we get a bit more explicit here?

Okay, I can kind of figure out the kneeling part if we choose option A. That's not too complex and I am pretty sure there will be some sort of home delivery, eventually.

Now, as for the second option, B, how, when and where does one do this standing for the nation? I am not to clear on this and perhaps some more detailed instructions will follow? Is there any special attire required?

Does this have to be yet another dilemma? I am rather tired of dilemmas and prefer something with multiple choice involved for a change.

The House of tRump had already gone to seed before coming to power. It will not persist.

I predict that when Trump leaves office (be it 2020 or - God forbid - 2024) they'll be little more than fodder for TMZ and the public laugh track after about a year.

The name Trump will always stand for unseemliness. If this family becomes a dynasty, the emphasis will be on the second part of that word - nasty.

12. White color crime at it's finest without a middle man.

Romney was just a corporate raider who flirted with politics, he made his money wrecking the private sector. The Trump brand back to Fred made their money defrauding government housing. Donald expanded the buisness to defrauding investors and accepting money from foreign governments. If this new model persists expect a Trump to be involved. I doubt the next generation is bright enough to expand the buisness. No more government influence they will lose their sugar daddy in Russia and Saudi Arabia. The Trump towers should end up like Trump casinos.

Ewik and Joonyer will join Bristle Palin, TheMeg, JERB!! and all the other seeking-their-due rotten Republican brats on the Barking Head circuit then fall into obscurity. Presuming they survive, which depends on how quietly God Emperor Puppet Sharpie leaves.

be able to beat them every time now.
It's about how we handle the messaging about corruption, sexism, racism, and white supremacy.
Every Republican will rue the day they pulled a ballot for trump.

Benito Mussolini thought he would be immortal.

I don't believe for one second that this regime will end peacefully, but it will end.

I will fight for life, as long as I have one.

I don't stand for nations. I don't even acknowledge dynasties.

I stand for life. Fuck everything else. If it doesn't help life, I am not in favor of it.

Life is what matters.
