    The rich are going to get richer. Such is life.

    Such is life?!?!!???! If this was a Dem you would be losing your shït, blaming liberals. What a MAGA thing to say. Such is life…. My god you all love this guy huh? Dems make money on stocks and you MAGA lose your mind yelling “they should be arrested!!” They get richer, you get poorer. With everything getting more expensive, did you get a raise? Nope. But your orange god did.

    From my understanding, no president has sent their children to public schools. Domhoff wrote yrs ago about how all Dems and rep go to the same , I want to say 2% of universities . We don't have a king , we have a huge royal family that (IMO) would have caused the founders of this country to roll over in their graves. Term limits mean nothing, and wealth is spread across the whole group.

    “This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said.

    The Justice Department on Tuesday expanded the just-announced settlement of President Donald Trump’s lawsuit over the leaking of his tax returns to include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue any claims it may have against Trump, his family members and his companies over unpaid taxes.

    Unreal….

    Our tax payer dollars are going directly to Trump. MAGA trying to throw out all the “illegals” who have paid more into our tax system then this guys entire family and the landscaper is the problem. You’ve been duped MAGA. Your idol is giving it to you hard and you keep taking it deep. Seems to me it’s either you can’t admit this guy is awful and has done nothing to improve any part of this country (but is doing really well for himself) or you really hate landscapers.

    I think it’s totally outrageous that I’m the bad guy because I disapprove of some corrupt ****. That because I don’t want to deport every landscaper and I want corrupt politicians to be held accountable that that’s some sort of mystical thinking. That protecting our amendments means protecting all of them, not just 2A. I think at this point it’s that the Trumpers feel like admitting that they were wrong is somehow admitting that the Democratic Party was right. Nah man, The guy’s pure evil. And at this point, I’m not sure that Kamala would’ve been a worse choice. Please explain to me how it could be fuckïng worse? Our gas prices would be lower? That the inflation would be better? The cost of living would be even worse than it is now? Come on… Convince me.

    Hilarious. Now you're going to be offended? Your feelings hurt? You're going to pretend that you have some moral ground to stand on? All that magamagamaga horseshit? You've been here long enough to remember when the vote between Hillary and the DT, and that I was distressed, genuinely, that these were the crappy choices the major parties stuck us with. And, as you well know, I couldn't bring myself to vote for either of them.

    For years I tried to discuss things with you like a normal person. What I got in return was baboon babbling, hyena howling, one-liner "gotcha" set ups.

    So, now you've taught me a new game. I call it "Roll the Troll". Eat the eggs you laid.

    You hate that you can’t change. You hate people who don’t think exactly like you do. You hate people who can look back on their choices and learn from the poor ones.

    You’ve never tried to have a conversation. You talk down to people like you’re the moral majority, that your **** don’t stink. There are asshôles jealous of all the shít that leaves your mouth.

    Anyone else or just landscapers (hope nobody misconstrues that as a stereotype and blames it on Trump). You are not bad at all, just some of your methods of debate that may be fond questionable.

    That’s the exact reason I use “my method”. We have a president who calls reporters stupid people or terrible persons. Why should a troll be held to higher standards then our President?

    PS… Some of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen are landscapers. Thankless low paying job. We need a workforce willing to do the jobs most won’t.

    They are only paid low because folks choose to pay that amount. For the record, I wont discredit any blue collar or white collar worker that does the best they can and show appreciation for others working around them. As for your methods I am truly anxious to see how you respond nder the next. This is regardless of what any president, preacher, ......, well it just is as it is.

    Sorry for the delay in giving you an actual answer, Edward. I have no idea. I've been way too busy to pay much attention to politics lately, and while I try to tolerate my countrymen's selections in the hopes that things will work out I don't always follow the day to day meanderings of our fractured government. As in the past, I try to support our side no matter who's in charge.

    As anyone with reading comprehension ability will know, that does not mean that I "worship" the people I hope are doing the best for us, I reserve the right to believe that they are also mere human beings just trying to do their best. On that note, I did decide to get "cable" TV instead of just broadcast like I've had for the last 10 or 15 years, so maybe I will understand the motivations behind all the drama.

    All my stuff is moved to the house I've been remodeling for the last couple years, but nearly nothing is
    unpacked. I've got about 60 years of stuff from a few families to go through before all is settled, and the physical move itself took a toll on my already aged and battered body. It's all good, I do the best I can with what I have.

    At any rate, Edward and most others, please do not take any of my recent rancor as being directed toward yourselves, except of course for the one obviously abusive person who continues to fail to read what's written before launching his next assault. I will strive to do better to ignore him in the future and not contribute to the unsettling drama he lives for.
