Fakesagan voted for Kanye West
 
He presents a great case, but I did vote for Trump because he does inspire me. I’ve been a fan of Trump since 1999 back when he ran the first time and had a plan to retire the national debt. I wrote the book on all the great things Trump has done that I love. Literally. I wrote an entire book about Trump’s presidency, his accomplishments and tribulations.
 
I’ve also been a fan of Kanye West since 2012. I love his authenticity, his showmanship, and his struggle to live the Christian faith. He too has been greatly maligned because we do live in a degenerate society and it may be too late to save it, but I’m still holding out hope. I would love to have him as president in 2024.

You can watch the full press conference and find out what really happened, so can everyone else, and then you can go and tell your friends that the fake news fakestream lamestream media has been lying to you about Trump for the past four years.

In the end it’s not even something all that important. It’s like what former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell said about gambling, the people who gamble and lose all their money would gamble and lose their money anyway, whether gambling was legal or not, so it’s best to legalize gambling in Pennsylvania than to have them go to some different state and have Pennsylvania lose the revenue. People have snorted condoms, ate tide pods, and injected bleach before Trump, and they’ll continue to do so long after the dust from our bones is gone. You can’t protect people from their stupidity. If people want to eat tide pods and huff paint and drive motorcycles without helmets I say let them. As long as taxpayers don’t have to pay the medical bills of people who are injured or killed from self-inflicted stupidity and as long as they don’t hurt anyone else I don’t care what people do to their own bodies.
 
As for a “colossal black mark”, I bet the number of people who tried to snort lysol or inject bleach because they saw 30 seconds of a Trump speech is less than 100 people. It’s already legal for people to inhale poison tobacco and drink poison alcohol, and they die in the hundreds of thousands and there’s no great big call to reinstate prohibition. If anyone other than Trump said anything like that it wouldn’t even be a story.
 
The number of people who died doing stupid shit misinterpreting Trump’s speech is lower than the number of poor black men Kamala Harris purposefully extended the prison sentences of to exploit their free for-profit prison labor. I don’t know, there are a lot of people here who don’t seem to like black people, and that means nothing to me, I’m not judging one way or the other (I even had friends who hated black people, and that’s something they have their reasons for, they have to live with that, not me), but I grew up with a lot of black friends and had a lot of black coworkers I hung out with and I really like the machismo of the black and Hispanic communities and the strong Christian faith, so I’d like to see them as allies instead of as enemies and I think fixing the prison system is very important. I think prison reform, school choice, the child tax credit, and ending foreign wars far overshadows the ten or twenty people tops who misinterpreted a 30 second clip and died pulling a Jackass stunt.
 
As I said in the book, there’s literally nothing any president could have done better to fix the covid problem in America, because there’s no one-size-all solution for every country. What worked in South Korea wouldn’t have worked in Sweden, and what worked in Sweden wouldn’t have worked in the US. We’ve known about the inadequacy of the disaster response and healthcare infrastructure in the US since 2000 during the Clinton admin when they ran TOPOFF 1, and three presidents before Trump did buttfuck nothing to fix it, and I’ll bet the problems won’t get fixed after Trump is gone either.
 
The only real scandals of covid are the four governors (NJ, NY, Michigan, and another one I can’t recall off the top of my head) all put covid patients in nursing homes which killed tens of thousands of elderly people who were immune compromised. THAT’s the real scandal. 30,000 dead in New York when Trump sent hospital ships and converted the Javits Center into a field hospital and none of the beds were used because Cuomo put sick people in nursing homes. He says his executive order was misinterpreted, and I give him the benefit of the doubt in the book, but 30,000 people dying on his watch from a mistake that big far outshadows anything Trump has done.

Another thing that I see people get bothered by is when he says, with the utmost confidence, that the economy is doing FANTASTIC.
 
People are all too often in this country poor, barely get by, and not rich at all. So when Trump says that the economy is doing so good, and they are not doing so good, people get pissed off.

I tried for a year and a half to get a job in my homestate. No luck. I tried for two weeks down here, got a job real fast.
 
But I have also heard some people complain that these employers are less friendly to their workers.

The only you can get a job fast is if they think they can exploit you. This is a major problem with immigrants who don’t know their rights. Illegal immigration hurts everyone, especially the immigrants who even if they mean well, can become helpless and trapped in very bad places without the documentation.

Now there’s a fair point, and something I have called him out on. Prior to the pandemic the economy had improved some, looking at workforce participation and some other factors, but it was far from “the strongest economy in the history of the world.” Trumpenomics is actually a lot like Nixonomics, and I mention that in the book briefly. In fact Nixon is probably the forth most mentioned person in the book, after Trump, Biden, and Hillary Clinton.
 
Maybe one day I’ll write a book about Nixon, just because he’s so fascinating. He’s someone who is an absolute genius and at the same time a double-crossing sleaze ball, who sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks so he could take credit for them, and yet did more for environmental protection than every previous president combined, except maybe Teddy Roosevelt. Maybe I’ll just make a recommended reading list of other people’s books.

I am way, way too young to open a business. Plus that requires money, first.
 
 
@Havoc  
This company hired me fast, but then when I got COVID-19 on their jobsite, they did not even pay me fully until I got better. Is that exploitation?

I know NOTHING
@Zaknel  
I frankly can understand that. Things aren’t perfect. Even if I think he may get some credit (and I stress, some, presidents always take too much credit for things out of their control) and that the economy was starting to show some real signs of improvement it doesn’t mean everything everywhere is doing fantastic as how Trump bombastically framed it

Russian President must permanently reside in Russia for at least 25 years before being eligible for office. For an old guy who eats nothing but McDonalds and KFC Trump seems to be in fantastic health, but living to 100 is pushing it.

Anyway, my take on the US election:
 
I was ready for either Trump or Biden to win, followed by inevitable riots.  
I was not ready for a drawn out and potentially falsified clusterfuck.

If it was clear that Biden won fair and square I would be incredibly disappointed with the American people, but I would accept that the people prefer chains over freedom. But this is so nakedly fraudulent I cannot accept it. Never before have they stopped counting votes and then come back a couple hours later and magically hundreds of thousands of Biden ballots - and ONLY Biden ballots, ZERO for Trump, ZERO for third party candidates, 100% Biden in exactly the right numbers and exactly the right districts to flip five battleground states. That doesn’t happen. That cannot happen. They didn’t even throw in non-Biden ballots to make it look legit, they don’t care, they don’t think they KNOW Americans are stupid and will accept what someone in a $5,000 suit with a $400 haircut and a $50,000 watch making a 7 figure salary on a TV news network will tell them.
 
There was also someone who made a custom code to run the numbers and found the Biden vote tally violates Benford’s Law. This is what sunk Enron. They KNOW they can get away with this so they are making the fraud as blatant as possible just to show off how powerful they truly are.
