    Tim Apple simply exchanged a $4k trinket for billions in savings. This is probably not even the most pathetic thing a billionaire does on the daily.

    Doing it on Live Television is the whole point. Trump wants the world to see exactly how to avoid things like Tariffs and get preferential treatment: bribe him personally and/or “kiss the ring”.

      So Trump is trying to hurt/disadvantage other countries/companies by decreasing the buying power of us citizens… ergo hurting their bottom line. How much money does the us give to the penguins, compared to other countries like China?

      Oh, it won’t improve then either. The mega rich will stand in a mountain of the dead before they’ll give up even a fraction of their wealth, and they’ll lash out at anything that they “fear”.

          What LARP. Plenty of people are all about “the great class Revolution” but few are actually winning to risk the meat grinder it would actually take. It’s also why they’re banking big time on AI and robotics. Nobody to talk back or question if ordered to gun down a street full of “enemies”

      The rich already fear for their lives; hence the kowtowing to a mushroom-dick pedo. The point is to make them fear the people more than they do that piece of child raping corn in a diarrhea attack.

        Tax wealth not work is a great way to pitch it to people as well. It doesn’t matter if your working 30,40,50,60+ hour weeks, whether you make 10,20,30,50,100,200 dollars an hour. That’s not what they are pitching to increase taxes on. They want to cut taxes on workers.

            I think a lot of it is that people don’t view things as finite, they for some reason think every dollar they make is a new dollar that came from nowhere and when they spend it, it goes no where. It’s easier to not look at the big picture of where the money flows, and just tunnel vision what is happening directly to themselves and hope someone else fixes things because they don’t have time/money to address anything.

          They’re making fun of the fact that the Right completely lost their minds at Obama wearing a tan suit but ignore or applaud Trump pulling bullshit like this.

          What you’re talking about is actually a whole different conversation. One that should be had, yes, but not related to how the Right gives a massive pass to anything a Rich White Male does.

      I know this isn’t remotely the point but I think “pedophile rapist” hits better. Your way makes it sound like he is a rapist who is also a pedophile. Which, don’t get me wrong, he is.

      But “pedophile rapist” describes the fact that he rapes children.

      Edit: I haven’t had my coffee. 🤦‍♂️

          Molestation can be a bunch of creepy non legally defined ways. A person who has sex with a child, is a pedophile, or child rapist.

          (Not directed to you) but I keep seeing people wanting “child fucker” to catch on, but idk why it feels skeevy, almost feels like they are adding more ambiguity, as a child could be a child fucker, but they wouldn’t be viewed as a pedophile. Where any grown adult who has sec with a child is a pedophile, it’s well understood.

            No adult can “have sex” with a child, because rape is not the same thing as sex. Saying “have sex” implies consent, where no consent can be given. Same goes for “fucker” IMO. “Child rapist” would work fine if “molester” is too ambiguous for you.

        I usually call him a rapist pedophile, but I think the best description is that he’s a rapist and a pedophile. Monsters usually only have one kink but he’s both.

        It’s implied that if you’re a pedophile you rape children, because they (legally) can’t give consent.
