Killery does not intend to go gently into that good night.
The rumor mill says she intends to run for mayor of New York City.

If so, Elkindoofus will be ecstatic.

"The latest rumor" REALLY? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why is it you tools never have anything but rumors and innuendo from your handlers?

Just more evidence that facts and reason are just too difficult for Loser Boy Assclown Insipid.
The National Enquirer and Breitbart have to find readers somewhere, I guess. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Surely even a duped and deluded Useful Idiots like AssClown Loser Marxist Tool must realize his heroine Killery Rotten Clinton, the woman he never defends, cannot pass up an opportunity to sell influence and accept the graft as would come with a job like mayor of NYC.
Or his masters have ordered him to deny any hint of her candidacy until they have had a chance to bring her back from the dead. Dead being her appearance these days.

^^^^^^ Loser Boy Assclown Insipid STILL can't manage to post an actual fact in his igno-rants. :lol: :lol: :lol:

All he has is speculations and partisan propaganda. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's just more proof that facts and reason are simply beyond the reactionary mind's capabilities. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a shame I don't own a boat.

I would name it "Partisan Propaganda."

The other problem is that my kayak is deep green, so a name on it might not show up well.
By Clownkicker
#80078
Yeah, johnny, but when your boat sank because you didn't take care of it, you would blame Democrats for it, just as you are going to blame Democrats for Trump's self-inflicted disasters.

Why would she settle for mayor of NYC after Trump is impeached?

WHY?

#80095
Why? Any number of reasons.

You could start with Trump's reliance on the FSB (formerly known as the KGB) for getting elected. Reagan would never have tolerated that, but the current GOP ain't Ronnie's GOP.

The current GOP puts party waayyyyyyyyyy above country.

That's a fact.

Start by lowering the corporate tax rate.

On the afternoon of Jan 20, a lot of executive orders will be rescinded.
By MadamPresident
#80137
There ya go. That's what we need. For the big coporations, who already pay no taxes, to receive an even bigger rebate! That's gonna work out just great for everybody.

You can't expect corporations not to leave if you have one of the most hostile tax climates in the world.

Also, Democrats are wrong that trickle down doesn't work. It does -- not always, not with perfection, but it does work to some extent.

If you buy a yacht, somebody must insure it, fuel it, maintain it, dock it, staff it, etc.

Trickle up also works, but only to some extent.

Welfare gives the poor money, and they do spend it, but too often on beer and pot.

They're only leaving for cheaper labor and higher profits for the CEO. The ratio of worker to CEO income is disgustingly obscene.
By johnforbes
#80144
I agree that CEO compensation is too high, but the proper cure is allowing shareholders to vote in a meaningful way on that in advance.

Presently, that doesn't happen.

The conservatards think that trickle down economics is the answer to growing inequality.

That's like asking firefighters to put out fires with gasoline.

When leftists see affluent people, they hate them and envy them.

But I want Elkin to prosper and become as successful financially as I've been.

I don't want everybody to be the same at some subsistence level.

If Elkin became a multi-millionaire investor, it would make me happy to see that he pulled himself up in life.

Having started in rural poverty myself, I like that journey because it is the American Dream.

Yeah, johnforbes had to grow up with nothing more than a thousand acres, some livestock, a truck, a barn, a house, three meals a day, and a public education.

Even the blacks only expected 40 acres and a mule, and that's less than what johnforbes is calling "poverty".
But he still begrudges them an opportunity at a first rate education. :shock:

Trump's 1 Trillion dollar infrastructure spending and tax cut plan is pretty much going to blow a hole in the budget, that is, if they can actually pass one.

The conservatards lambasted Obama for running up the national debt. But when Trump proposes to skyrocket the deficit and national debt through the roof and into outer space, it comes with silence from the right wing...

#80174
Well, it was a lot more than 1000 acres.

But it was not mine, and it still isn't.

Also, pretty much every rancher is land-rich but cash-poor.

My college was paid for by me, plus a couple scholarships.

As you go about your day, how many of the people you meet every did agricultural labor for less than $1 per hour?

Other than me, that is.

"Well, it was a lot more than 1000 acres."-johnforbes

Oh, the humanity! Only a few thousand acres?

Stop, you're breaking my heart.

And I bet you also think being Irish is comparable to being poor and black, right?

Maybe your sentiments should be on the "Food for thought" thread instead. :lol:

#80186
Hasn't affirmative action been around for about 40 years now?

As to being poor and black in the inner city, those kids don't do any work, so they have plenty of time to play basketball, shoot pool, and rob convenience stores.

When we wanted to play basketball indoors, we had to move bales of hay.

Of course, when Clowntoker played ball, his coach compared his mobility to a bale of hay.
By Intrepid
#80188
But, as all the other players were also confined to wheel chairs, having the mobility of a hay bale wasn't unusual.

We were replacing the floor of a hay barn with long, foot wide boards from a local sawmill when we spotted the potential for a basketball floor.

Our backboard was a piece of plywood.

The early games were the most fun because there was no back to the barn (we were replacing it too).

So, if the ball got loose, it would roll down the hill into the pond.

Wow, your own private indoor basketball court.

I don't know how you managed to survive such poverty, johnny.

You're an example to every lazy ghetto kid down at the neighborhood netless basketball hoop.
Why don't they just put up their own indoor court, for God's sake?
They don't seem to have the sense to come in out of the rain.
By johnforbes
#80209
Yes, to every kid in the ghetto, I say:

Haul in the boards and improve the barn floor.

Then, as the hay supply dwindles, you will have your own private indoor court.

Or move the bales, play, and move them back.

This just goes to show how easy it is to solve the problems of the ghetto.

Trump went into the ghettos of the rust belt and promised to his base that he would get the deplorables their jobs back.

Really???

All of those manufacturing jobs are coming back?

Just think of life in the ghetto.

You sleep late, get your free food stamp breakfast in your rent-controlled apt, play with your free Obamaphone, go play basketball at a public court, play pool, get drunk, hang out, and repeat the process tomorrow.

Conclusion: Sweet deal to grow up poor and black.

Hillary has been offered a city counsel position in Watertown NY, that sent her into another retreat to her bedroom because she knew it was a sincere offer that they felt she would be excited about after her collapse from grace.

Think of what life would be for Jared Kushner (and Trump, for that matter) if he wasn't born with a silver shovel in his mouth.

I suppose Trump will be demanding to see his transcripts and SAT scores...

Trump wasn't born really rich, but almost.

There's no question that him having a successful father and going to Wharton and getting a million dollar loan helped him out a lot.

But to take that rather small amount of money and turn it into 5 or 10 billion, that's really an achievement.

Go look at the property Trump owns all over the world.

Istanbul, Punta del Este in Uruguay, Makati in the Philippines, a place in Mumbai, in Panama. It isn't just Vancouver and Toronto where the logistics would be easy.
