he is never leaving the white house-that is why he doesn't care about anything-polls included-where does he have his money invested?can we see his tax returns?and please don't give any credence to republicans-they did this too-maybe their own portfolios are losing $ so now they're concerned?-selfish

Stop it. He'll leave the White House, one way or the other. Don't capitulate on this very basic foundation of our democracy, please.

He's not running again and clearly doesn't care about working Americans or Congress or anybody else and never did.

This would be because he intends on not having legitimate elections ever again.

mandysueinla.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't care what he intends. He's an idiot and he's evil, and evil always overplays its hand. Stop being scared of this moron

sparkedoff.bsky.social•67 days ago

Who said anyone was scared? Do explain what we can do? We can protest. We already voted. It’s not about fear. It’s about the citizenry not having power.

Scenario: Japan and China both dump the Treasury bonds they hold. Then what? Interest rates here thru the roof?

mandysueinla.bsky.social•67 days ago

I read a few weeks ago that that's a real possibility, and it's worrisome. And the more he insults leaders around the world, the more likely that is to happen.

He doesn't care about poll numbers. He's either not running again or will try to stay in power regardless of any voting.

@jonlemire.bsky.social, I thought that you might appreciate this slang that the senator just mentioned: "The meaning of LICK-LOG is a felled tree in which troughs are cut and filled with salt for cattle."

mandysueinla.bsky.social•67 days ago

Haha thanks. God, I can't stand that over-educated, under intellectual hayseed.

mandysueinla.bsky.social•67 days ago

Trump isn't worried about the political or economic impacts because he's wealthy and all his "friends" are wealthy. As an economic terrorist, the only thing that matters to him is inflicting pain on others who hurt his feelings.

The Extortionist-in-Chief says Be cool but he also said Don't be weak, don't be stupid -- everything he is, and he's definitely not cool.

Have you all had on Michael Lewis? I can't hear enough from him.

kat-thyme.bsky.social•68 days ago

He truly doesn’t care. He is deeply flawed.

jayander.bsky.social•68 days ago

He doesn’t care about prices or promises! Just power. When will republicans start to speak???
