See, Trump is ALL YOU GOT. He IS your whole life. If he is your whole life you may want to embrace him. You certainly can't keep his name out of your mouth or stop associating literally everything with him lol.

Now THAT is comical.

You literally type thousands of words in a thread that you hate the very existence of, defending every shitty thing about Trump that ever gets mentioned.
Talk about him being your whole life! You go into tantrums when all of his failings are brought up, calling people names, threatening violence, telling them to off themselves, creating a multitude of lies as a defense, disregarding irrefutable facts as if they just disappear by sheer will, completely ignoring all evidence that proves you couldn't be more wrong.

It's like you are a child pretending to be an adult, and it's insanely transparent.
You must follow the Steven Chueng playbook.
“Deranged and morally bankrupt liberals — including corrupt media — have now resorted to complete falsehoods and fabricated lies because they have no shame.”
“Instead, they spend every waking hour of their pathetic lives suffering from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted their brain,”

Hmmm, that sure sounds a lot like your post.
Lemme guess: Another amazing coincidence that you say it right after Chueng does?

Two lies in the same sentence. Good Job Rob.

This ENTIRE paragraph is a lie... don't argue. You know why it is a lie Rob.

No idea what this book is but he nailed it LOL!!

No, I have known these things about you thin skinned ***** since the first time Trump was elected.

TSC is misguided thinking that anything he might say could remotely upset me. As I said, we won.

In the end....this is all that matters to your average Trumper. Wearing their MAGA hats and rooting for their dementia riddled dictator wannabe like he's their favorite sports team. Very bizarre.

The "We Won" that is all you see. Do you know why? Because you let yourself be divided. You let them tell you how to think and who to hate. You think this is a competition for something to be won. What did you win in 4 years with Biden? Triple high gas prices, sky high inflation. You think that is a win? Now all you got are childish insults because you don't know how to continue on. Let me tell you how. Wake up, go to work, make your money and stfu. When it is time to vote again think for yourself and ask if you won anything during these 4 years. If not, go vote for Kamala or whomever they tell you to vote for. Or, if your life ended up improving at the end of the next 4 years... you might be able to vote better next time.

Talk about lack of awareness. Guy accuses the other side of thinking that politics is a competition directly after his pronouncement of "we won".....which of course came up because your average Trumper can't really defend the guys actions because they are incomprehensible if you don't live in the right wing echo chamber. Default to "we won". lol.

Sucks when you make your entire identity into being a fanboy of an incompetent goon.....and then spend your days feeling compelled to stick up for the disaster that you voted for. Going to be a tough four years for MAGAites.

I see you and Rob are on the same level. I am not surprised that went over your head.

It's all about labels with you libby's isn't it. You're a this and he's a that. lol

Musk mentioned at some point were going to have universe based income with ai taking over. Hopefully when I’m old I can have a robo exoskeleton and care giver so it can sip my ***.

Eternal sunshine of the indoctrinated Trumper

You and Rob should jerk each other off haha, one side likes to talk down to people a lot more than the other side. I didn't even vote for anybody, I just notice patterns

Hyperbole (or I sure as fawk hope it is)? Just curious, what do you think about population collapse? Assuming population collapse is inevitable (which it looks more and more like it is), then how can the ruling class keep their lifestyle without massive implementation of robotics and AI?

They plan to use and are using ai to cause population collapse. Humans are genetically designed worker slaves; the whole point of your enslavement for thousands and thousands of years is to wind up developing AI. Most of humanity is a temp work force on this world just to help manifest the AI singularity here.

I already explained to you how it's different. A tariff is a cost of intermediate goods or inputs for a company. It raises their costs while ultimately are reflected in the prices they charge. By removing those tariffs, the costs of those products drop. If the company chooses to pocket the savings and not pass them on through lower prices or higher wages, they will have larger profit margins and more income.....which they pay taxes on.

It's quite a bit different than income taxes.

Wow. A tariff is a tax, I just provided you with 6-7 sources to confirm it's a tax. You know what else raises a company's costs - taxes. You know what the wealth holding class can do with tax cuts/increases - they can pass them on, they can cut or increase capital investment, they can cut/increase wages, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah....it's definitely not the definition. But regardless.....Trump campaigned on bringing costs down and has so far done the opposite. He raised costs of US citizens.....or if you're really hell bent on calling tariffs "taxes".....he went ahead and raised taxes on consumers.....

Tariffs are taxes. Why do libs always want to play these games where they redefine words? I've already said I'm for higher taxes. If it makes you feel better to call it something else, feel free to do so, but the vast majority of people call gov't revenues taxes.

.....all while cutting programs and firing US workers so he could CUT TAXES for corporations and the highest earners. It's almost like electing a lifelong grifter has resulted in the country being pilfered.

Catastrophizing at its best.

Somehow.....a decade of screaming "fake news" has managed to normalize it coming from the right. When it's pointed out that right wing media (propaganda) has proliferated into all forms of media beyond just cable news....all of the sudden it's seen as condescending to point out how MAGA fans are just rattling off the talking points.....even the most inane ones.

I know what you mean about right wing talking points and people spewing them and not even understanding what the points are about. You just seem like the left wing version of the same thing

FYI, idc, really it's all AI vs humanity to me. All roads lead to AI. That's mostly what I care about. All the political whatever, cool, doesn't matter, AI is coming regardless of what anyone does.

My god. This last paragraph is just downright sad. If you cannot figure out why a serial liar who's spent decades ripping off average Americans shouldn't be trusted.....then you are a lost cause. But but but.....he said America #1! He said he wants to make America great again! Holy shit! It's amazing how a below average stooge was able to indoctrinate so many willing, gullible people......who he's proven time and time again to not give a damn about.

You do realize you just described every politician in DC regardless of party.

Great. So Trump just slammed a big tax increase on the consumers. After campaigning on bring prices down.

If you're for higher taxes.....you could have tricked me. Trump's primary biggest policy position is passing massive income tax cuts. Maybe you hadn't noticed....

Maybe I'll be wrong.....and somehow the tearing down of government institutions will work out alright. Maybe antagonizing our closest allies and befriending Russia will pay dividends. I don't see the future. All I'm doing is reading the tea leaves.....and it seems pretty obvious to me that this is just a massive grift that's leading towards some really big consequences. Guess we'll find out.
