My female dog is more of a man than he is.

He IS a sadistic sociopath though. And a narcissist, but definitely not a man, maybe a mouse?

I like this ad that Biden reteweeted by Center for American Progress. Bloomberg should run this ad on all TV stations, especially red states and Fux Noise.

Haven't seen that one before. I agree with every word you have said. Although you were too kind. I don't think I can even say what I think of that miserable, evil bastard without getting banned.

Have you ever seen the film "Goodfellas"? That is what I wish when I think of the fucking moron's final demise.

she told me she could get one of her connections to help me out in the past. Maybe someone else's Italian grandmom is still alive with her own connections to take care of "the problem". I will chip in a few bucks and know many others who could chip in a lot more $$$ for the cause.

capo, who unfortunately did not end up well. However, we have had numerous "family friends" who have been kind to my father and us children growing up. We didn't really know at the time (as kids) what they were, but we always appreciated their generosity.

Government, education, the military -- they all have their own different paradigms for ethics and success. And they are not the same as business. At all. Ever.

He might be able to rope-a-dope the idiots in society, but the majority of us are not sold on his bullshit.

Carter was a businessman. His problems had nothing to do with that fact.
No gas lines, no rampant inflation caused by Nixon, no insularity by DC insiders and he's not a 1 term president.
He came when the car was about to go over the cliff. He got punished by the voters for things beyond control of any POTUS. But, being a successful peanut producer wasn't the issue with policy.
The problem here is that this guy was crappy at business, as well as nearly everything else, except self-promotion.
