IRS employee who voted for Trump doesn’t learn his lesson and is fired
“someone with his business acumen”
Ah, yes, you mean the sort of business acumen that makes a casino go bankrupt?
as using his casino to launder russian/soviet money around.
How could anyone trust the business acumen of someone who bankrupted his own casino? The business model of a casino is people walk in, give you all their money, then leave. That was too much for him.
How the fuck do you bankrupt a casino?
By opening a second casino on the same road, splitting the public between the two, which led to BOTH going bankrupt, despite a cash injection from his father. Yes, he bankrupted TWO casinos…
spent more in building it >cough< than ever received as income from ‘customers’.
at one point some rich fucker (might have been his own father) literally walked in ‘bought’ a shitload of chips (miilions of $) and never cashed them.
im pretty sure that entire endeavor was a money laundering scheme. it doesnt make any sense otherwise.
It’s so incredible that so many people can’t tell how clueless Trump is. The only reason he’s ever “effective” is because he’s a total wildcard since he has absolutely no fucking idea what is happening.
lol @ “fine-tooth comb”
Coming in with a wrecking ball is the “business acumen” i.e. sucking out as much money as possible, taking credit for any perceived successes, and passing out blame for any perceived failures. The entire point of business is to enrich the businessman. They’re idolized when they really should be recognized as the parasites they actually are.
Leopards are gonna have an obesity problem.
oh no! anyway…
The MAGAts failed to learn the Orange KGB agent does not give a flying fuck about them. Businees acumen? Nope. LOL!
These people don’t read, they just see the flashy show on fox news, then go to work
Side note: I am banned from conservative subs, but my last comment there was responded with “conservatism is a necessary counterpoint to progressivism” and can somebody tell me ANY conservative policies that were for the good of humanity? Because all I see is a severely mentally ill bunch of fucking psychopaths that do nothing but destroy freedom and anything at all good for humanity.
Yes and no. Conservatism is supposed to be (ideally, in theory) a ratchet that keeps the wheel from freely spinning in either direction. Conservatives are to preserve the status quo, which is the position currently taken by Democrats and not Republicans. We don’t have a counterbalance to the Repubs, which is why the wheel is slowly clicking to the right.
it is inherently selfish behavior.
at best, they will tell you ‘i just want my tax dollars/government to be efficient’ but we see how that actually plays out with regards to the oligarchy taking control.
Business acumen? Neither the president nor trump have that
Yeah, they were both kinda born into it.
Aside from being brainwashed into MAGA he sounds like a solid dude. He saw a problem in his country and took it upon himself to try to fix it. Too bad he wanted leopards to eat his face
A solid dude? He voted for the guy who incited a coup attempt, mismanaged the COVID response, and spews verbal diarrhea daily. I hate to say it, but they called it right for this guy, we don’t need people who are that stupid in government.
Though, I have realized that if you’re still a Trump supporter, you’re either ill informed or are a terrible person
The USA is literally threatening to invade most of its closest allies. Fuck anyone who’s ill informed
“I didn’t realise we were going to invade Poland :0”
“Actually you forgot Poland.”
George W. BUSH
I agree 100%. I kinda have to believe people like this can get better because I have good people in my family whose actions and political beliefs are entirely at odds with each other.
Fuck the Murdoch dynasty, all of them. Knowing that people I care about have spent decades watching a 4-hour evening infomercial for fascism is brutal.
Same with friends. But it’s so hopeless trying to get through to them. I know their feeds are filled with “LIBERAL TEARS, IMMIGRANTS BECOMES MILLIONAIRE WITH FOOD STAMPS AND HERES WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ACTUAL VICTIMS” They see it on their YouTube. Their Twitter. Their Facebook. Their Instagram. Their FOX (self described non news “entertainment” channel) NEWS app. They’re getting hit with propaganda from everywhere, not even counting the decades of Fox that’s infected their family. They’re so incredibly misinformed and I don’t know what way to change their minds. Some times they’ll listen but it never sticks, probably the same way I do when they’re telling me how democrats actually set up any bad thing that happens.
Take specific examples that they care about, prove that it is utter nonsense. Ask how they can still believe all the bullshit if all these examples are nonsense.
They are usually Christians so using Bible versus right back at them and asking when they are going to divorce their spouses and cheat on them and pay for prostitutes and playing up when they decided they support authoritarian communists and where they keep their Russian flags is probably the route to go. They’ll love being labeled communiats and since when they started wanting to emulate the Chinese political system.
Facts, laws, and numbers don’t work on them. Comparing their values to the person they choose to worship is more likely to get them scrambling trying to excuse behavior that isn’t Christian like.
Not in my experience. To many of these mfs worship Paul (and now Trump) instead of Jesus.
In the end, my receipts don’t matter. It’s fake news. The closest I can get is to make my points using FOX NEWS articles. But there’s often a shit ton of spin on those so I can’t get the really hard hitting facts across. Best example was my trumper friend saying that ICE is going after criminal immigrants and not the good, working ones. I linked the fox news article saying that the ICE commander said everyone’s on the chopping block. I was met with “No, no they can’t do that. They can’t do that. They won’t do that”. They literally live in their own made up reality where the rules are how they interpret them and not how they actually are. Even when their glorified party proves them wrong, time and time again.
God bless my buddy’s hearts. They’re good people but theyre actively getting corrupted and I’m trying at every chance I get to give them a different perspective.
This.
These people are not equipped to handle the cognitive dissonance of having their beliefs challenged. They will simply compartmentalize away any contradictions so they don’t have to think about it. If you try to force the issue they become vitriolic and refuse to engage with you any further, usually resorting to character defamation to label you as someone who is not trustworthy and can be readily disregarded.
Lol, this is the best comment I’ve read all week. Thank you for giving me a good laugh, I needed it!
No reason?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Haven’t seen a more apt example of a face eaten by a leopard in quite a while. This is about as cut-and-dry as it gets.
It still doesn’t cease to amaze me how absolutely clueless some people can be. How can you observe Trump’s behaviour and think he’ll do anything except be insane? He can’t even form coherent sentences for goodness’ sake!
I hope this moron, and all his Trump pals, lose everything.
Imagine thinking Trump has business acumen.
they arent just uninformed… they are brainwashed. you dont just snap out of it. you cant logic yourself out of a position you did not logic yourself into
its like trying to convince someone that their religion is garbage. no matter what evidence you provide, their brain will work around it.
Yeah we’ve had a mass brainwashing in this country that we’ve never seen before and it’s terrifying
I saw this before, right after 9/11.
For the people who consume conservative media, it has not stopped since then. That’s why they are SO brainwashed into accepting the most ridiculous shit they’re told.
Yea well religion and fox news did all the heavy lifting for shitler. They were 99% brainwashed when he showed up. He grabbed the steering wheel and they readily threw their jesus christ in the ditch to ride with new messiah daddy.
It’s always so sad and absurdly funny at the same time that real people think like this. I can’t help but laugh and then just rethink about my life yet again.
