I think we should just drown them all tbh.

The Batlord 10-01-2019 09:18 PM

Bro you wanna vote for Biden. You're useless.

Joe Biden: "I don't know anything about my son and Burisma"

Real journalists: *Hold our ****ty beer*

Bro you've been sucking Biden's dick for months, and no matter who wins the nom you should never be a Biden fan.

The Batlord 10-01-2019 10:18 PM

Bro why the **** would you ever be a Biden fan?

Anteater 10-01-2019 10:33 PM

I'd rather keep Trump over Biden tbh. If we're gonna be real about it.

If Warren or Yang or someone with a brain in their head gets the nomination, they'll get my vote instead.

The Batlord 10-01-2019 10:39 PM

I'd rather Trump get shot in the head. I simply wouldn't mind Biden getting JFK'd.

Church.

I am basically disinterested if it's Biden vs trump. l won't vote, like I usually don't. I'll just lie to my family and say I did.

Trump clearly worse than Biden or even Pence... But I'm not going for the lesser of two evils sales pitch.

But once he became prez most of the party quickly fell in line behind a criminal mob like real estate tycoon from NY and a long term democrat to boot.

And then on top of that they followed him not only in praising Putin, but in engaging in tariffs against China. Things which seemed inconceivable from a Republican prior to trump.

They also fall in line cause he attacks the slightest sign of dissent

Andrew Yang Raises $10 Million, in a Display of Fundraising Strength
Candidate raised $1 million within days of offering free money to supporters during the Democratic presidential debate in September


Philosophically, I have some issues with Yang but the thought of getting that grand every month even if I don’t work is so delicious.

Frownland 10-03-2019 02:14 AM

I'd vote for him over Donny boy but I 100% do not trust him and feel like he would implement a lot of subversive policies while hiding behind UBI as a way to soften his image.

Frownland 10-03-2019 02:59 AM

Same boat. He's too old now though, he'd totally die midterm or get on some Reagan-esque senile ****.

Old Bernie'll be telling his Bernie Bro's to vote for Biden by election time.

Trump probably has his entire cabinet thinking up a heart disease related nickname for Bernie.

We already know Warren is the frontrunner anyway. Trump is dragging Biden down into the muck. So it's either gonna be Warren or (long shot-wise) Yang.

But hey, they're all better than Tom Steyer.

OccultHawk 10-03-2019 10:21 AM

Trump wants that Pochahontas nickname in play. White supremacist politics are on a 400 year winning streak - he knows how to run that casino. Keep doubling down!

The Batlord 10-03-2019 10:22 AM

Actually he's pretty terrible about running casinos.

Uh. Get the city to pay for it. Collect the funds. Don’t build it. Declare bankruptcy and keep the money.

Actually the only thing better than running a free casino is keeping the money and NOT running a casino. It’s the quintessential casino move. Dudes in Vegas are like goddamn that’s how the house wins. No overhead or nothing.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 10:41 AM

As far as I know he got some really horrible financing to buy two or three casinos that directly competed against one another and was in the red in like two days.

Dude. You can’t fake having your own hotels and ****. In the red. In the black. That orange son of a bitch has mad money.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 10:58 AM

And his daddy's money. And connections made through his daddy.

OccultHawk 10-03-2019 11:29 AM

Money ain’t about paper and numbers it’s access and power.

He gets an A plus plus in capitalism

The proof is in the pudding. He ain’t never not been able to order the best steak and stay in the best room with the best view.

Say what you want. You can’t out hate Trump me but the myth that he’s bad with money is a joke. Idc if he started a million up he kept it rolling big ****ing time. That’s just the truth. That’s how capitalism works and what it rewards. Period.

Frownland 10-03-2019 11:34 AM

He didn't go bankrupt, he received protection from bankruptcy and got to keep his millions. I think it speaks to the power of his branding that people think that his name alone could float him.

You could say he has pretty **** business tactics if filing for bankruptcy is consistently the smart option.

I literally had to babysit him from ****ing with the machine so I don't have to spend hours with him slowing us down as he throws a tantrum at kegs not lining up because he was ****ing with the machine.

But he is bad with money. The proof is in his inability to properly run a business without government, family, and credulous investor assistance. His skill as a manipulator to get that assistance is beyond question though. I'd love to see what he could do with his own cult.

What does consistently having millions of dollars prove? He sucks at owning a business but knows how to play the game to build and keep what he has. If he went dead broke I think that'd be a good sign of him being bad with money.

If you got the goddamn steak and the best view you’re good with money. Poor means you can’t do ****. Rich means you can. There aren’t any other rules.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 12:33 PM

Hasn't he been in continuous bone crushing debt since the 80s though? He's basically as good as any get rich quick scheme moron if they had the family connections to continually fail upwards rather than just be as broke as the rest of them all the time.

Goddamn dude. Who cares if you’re in debt if you’re eating the best goddamn steak?

The Batlord 10-03-2019 12:39 PM

I'm not saying he isn't successful, I'm saying he doesn't know how to run a business. If he did he wouldn't have to fall back on desperate bull****ery in the face of imminent economic collapse.
