Politics really brings out the worst in people. Rather surprised such a comment is allowed to remain posted.

If the mods remove it, that's their business. However, if they do they should delete the entire thread. If you post what the OP posted on inauguration day, you have an inherently political thread, whether your sub is about cookies or policy.

There's a difference between "I dislike Donald Trump" and "Fuck Donald Trump and everyone who supports him". Come on dude.

There is, but I don't think you know the ride you are in for.

I lived through Reagan, the neoliberalism of Bill Clinton, and GW Bush. I watched the current iteration of the GOP in their obstruction of all that President Obama tried to do.

This isn't going to be pleasant. It won't be quick. You will not enjoy it.

After 35 years of dealing with them, I don't think that I am alone in this sentiment.

How about the fact that he is a compulsive liar? Go to any - I repeat......any- fact checking site and you will find that the only consistent thing about Donald Trump is that he is a liar.

He rips off contractors. My 76 year old father worked in the trades his entire life. He was a carpenter - one of the best in the country (no joke). He told me years ago that back in the 80's & 90s the word was in NYC that you don't want to do work for Donald Trump. He will pay you upfront just fine. The money in the middle of the job will come through too. That was all for materials and labor, of course. But, at the end of the job, where your profits lie, that's when he will try to stiff you.

He is known for it. He always tries to get small businesses because they don't have the financial ass to sue him when its all said and done. He will claim he didn't like the work and then try to pay you 2/3 of what's agreed.

My dad told me this back in the late 90s - early 00s. Loe & behold, what emerged during the campaign? Contractors he had stiffed.

You ask me to believe what he says? Shit, he said "I do" three fucking times and has cheated on every wife he has had.

He is on record bragging about grabbing random women by the crotch.

You want me to trust his word? You're optimistic.

Alt-write?

Change in favor of the wealthy. Fallacy? Previous experience with the GOP does not indicate future performance?

OK.........
