  1. Don't forget that gifts often come with costs that go beyond their purchase price. When you purchase a child the latest smartphone, you're also committing to a monthly phone bill. When you purchase the latest gaming system, you're likely not going to be satisfied with the games that come with it for long and want to purchase new titles to play. When you buy gifts it's important to remember that some come with additional costs down the road that can be much more expensive than the initial gift itself.
  2. So Trump only likes criminals and sex traffickers if they support him on social media?
  3. Bet somebody sold him out. No way they just happen upon a guy like that.
  4. He intervened to allow them to come back to the US. They're big fans and supporters of him, so as he has done with other people who are visible and influential supporters of him, he had bailed them out.
  5. That didn't take long. Apparently Trump is the one who is importing violent criminals. https://www.yahoo.com/news/andrew-tates-gf-bri-stern-211708986.html
  6. False alarm people. Trump says none of this happened and it's just a liberal hoax. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/politics/yemen-security-breach-trump-hegseth-waltz/index.html
  7. Here's Gabbard trying to lie about it.
  8. A lot of people who do run, and win, are already rich.John McCain wasn't particularly rich, but he married into a wealthy family that allowed him to pursue his political ambition. If he hadn't done that, I don't think he becomes a force in politics.
  9. Trump ran for office because he was going broke. There is a difference. Also other wealthy people, people even more than him have run and honestly they weren't too bad. Ross Perot comes to mind and had he kept it together he was somebody who could have really carved out a legitimate 3rd party. But most wealthy people have no real desire or need to run for office. Trump just did to boost his brand and draw attention to himself. Once he realized how easy the grift was he stayed with it.
  10. You don't think that people should resign or be fired over accidentally sharing classified military information? Fortunately the chief editor of The Atlantic is able to keep his mouth shut and not compromise anyone. If you were angry about Hilary Clinton and her emails then you should be furious about this.
  11. So when are the congressional hearings and investigations about this going to start?
  12. Something tells me that Hegseth broke his promise to quit drinking if they let him run the Pentagon
  13. So tell us again how Clinton mishandled classified documents?
  14. I think "being born rich" goes a lot further than you think. The one thing Trump has learned or been taught is that if enough people are invested in your success, it's hard to fail completely. Yet he almost did it anyway. I compare him to just a scaled up Sonny Bono, a guy who entered politics solely because he had a grudge against the local government.
  15. It's not that he was there. It's him being there, upstaging the athletes and turning it into something about him. Other presidents who attended sporting events unless they're doing something ceremonial like the first pitch, coin toss, whatever, just sit somewhere out of the way and don't get involved.
  16. In my opinion he is neither intelligent or particularly successful.
  17. This is what I am talking about. He needs to be seen as being associated with tough guy successful athletes or people. Anything. It doesn't matter who they are, he wants the rub of being around people he thinks other people are tough, successful, etc. To him being associated with that is the most important thing. That is how he was able to con people in the early 80's, by pretending to be far more successful than he was, associating himself with important people, being seen in public as doing big things, and pretending he was involved in that crowd. It's why he made up fake names and called news outlets and lied to get himself in the press. It's all about the image he sells. Because who would care about some guy who was born rich and never had to do any real work?
  18. His fragile fragile ego and needing to be associated with a tough guy image. Anything that boosts his ego and makes him appear to be everything he's not.
  19. I wasn't there but it happened at midfield after the game.
