Saw this in another thread. Like the inside story, but it's tough.

Aside from letting other people do your thinking for you, and of course your acknowledged unfair envy ...while ignoring the wealth of Obama, Biden, and the rest of the elite Dems and their uber-wealthy supporters....
Just curious, if the very wealthy give you a natural distrust do you think that a homeless person would be a better POTUS?
You do realize that 45 took NO salary and that the attacks on him and his family likely cost him millions.
Why should he give up his business holding when his family is employed and runs them. Should they just take a 4yr exit from their own careers?
Enriching themselves? Seriously. Check out the before and after net worth of the Obama's who I would assume you virtue signal as your favorites of all time. Then check on the Clintons. Then Communist Bernie Sanders. Is it their abortion stance that allows you to enjoy your hypocrisy without flinching.
Does Kamala blowing through over ONE BILLION DOLLARS for a $400K/yr job bother you in the slightest. Are you capable of shame?
Never said that. I have said repeatedly that there are F'ing idiots on both sides. You clowns are the ones that are blind to your own nutjobs.
Bored at work. Just noticed another smug, holier than thou account that can’t be tagged and page not found…..AIChatGPT.
Or as austintxcat claimed him to be (and I agree)……Buckethead.

Well crap. Must’ve been user error. He’s still around, just hasn’t posted since 11/5 😂
She blew a lot more than money to be put in a position to even be known.
Must be great head to have nearly became the leader of the free world.
Close to 2 trillion dollars in completely unnecessary spending. All of it looting the Treasury as the spoils of victory in 2020.
There’s wealthy people and then there’s people with cheat code amounts of money. I have no qualms with people that have millions or tens of millions of dollars. It’s the folks that have tens of billions of dollars that I have a problem with. It’s neoliberalism gone amok.
So in the context of Biden, Obama, and Bush, I can overlook their millions because a lot of it came after their presidency when they were citizens and in the form of speeches and books. Does it make me a hypocrite? I hope not. I don't think poorly of Rubio who has also been afforded these things.
I think people that run the executive office most effectively are people that have spent time in that position already so think governors. I think the next best are people who have been in the house and senate. I really hoped that Mark Kelly would have given Harris a run because of his brief time in the senate coupled with the fact that the man has time in the military and is a freaking astronaut.
Younger Big Mike really liked Mitch Daniels of Indiana and John Kasich. I think both of these guys would have been amazing presidents.
Yes, been told that Trump took no salary and lost millions, but I've never seen any proof of this. If he could clear up the murkiness of his finances, that would alleviate a major dig I have of him. Just like I mentioned before, I believe most of his children have earned millions after his stint with speeches and book deals. I have no problem with that.
Yes. That is the sacrifice of being the most powerful person in the world. Don't want that sacrifice? Don't take the job.
Taken care of your 5th paragraph.
I have a huge problem with campaign finances. It is stupid on both sides.
Been plenty of outrageous spending the past 30 years. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Biden bare that responsibility.

Would 100% consider voting for him again (or get the chance that is).
No to what I quoted. Why are you trying to make this hard? What other word(s) would you prefer I use?No what?
Putin lowers the threshold for using his nuclear arsenal after Biden's arms decision for Ukraine
President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for Russia’s use of nuclear weapons, following U.S.apnews.com
Left the country I guess, must have been a star. Dang, had a celebrity amongst us...
I've flown many, many times. never had that done to me, no where near it. That would have taken a knee...from me... to its face... (That is staged...)

Dang I picked the wrong week to get sick. That is un-American....
Me waiting to see if 4 years from today you are still bringing this up on a daily basis like you do the Capitol ordeal.
Ok, can’t say that looks too appetizing, but I’d at least give it a try. How many craft brews needed prior?PB&J deviled eggs, yummy, excellent with a crafty beer
Craft Brews???? Hell... Home Brew..... and a lot of it... I've been on drunks but I've NEVER EVER EVER stooped or even thought to stoop to that level of drunk... That hurt my heart seeing it... 🤑 🚽 🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠
Ya'll pray for 55... 😅
You can change usernames but you ought to change your programming instead.
Find yourself a chart showing the rise of inflation. Note what happens in 2021.
How does US inflation rates affect other countries. By the metrics given, Jerome Powell navigated us to a 2.1% rate for this quarter. Again, does not include household items, but under the threshold the US government tracks inflation, we are in better shape than 21 and doing much better than most countries in the world.
Wait wait wait.
Kamala put hundreds of black men in prison for minor marijuana violations. The inflation reduction act and infrastructure bills were nothing but big spending boondoggles which sent taxpayer money to corporate special interests. Are you IGNORANT?
Campaign PROMISES?
Kamala was in office for four years. Why didn't she just DO the promises instead of making them? You don't find that disingenuous? (In fact, many Americans cited this reason for not trusting her. Interesting that you still do)
And yes Keynesian economics doesn't work. You're uneducated and misinformed. Redistribution hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, which is almost everywhere including here. A rising tide lifts all boats. Why not preach prosperity for everyone instead of class warfare, envy, and misery-sharing?
Democrats are the biggest spenders in history. If you really wanted to reduce the deficit you should have been all over Trump and DOGE.
See what I'm saying? You keep getting caught in your own lies.

See the mask slip? You believe everything bad you're told about Trump, and you are skeptical of any exculpatory information. That's moving the goalposts and you reveal that you really are closed minded. Very dangerous for someone in their "30s" to be unwilling to accept any new information that doesn't fit a leftist worldview. You're in for a rude awakening. And you have demonstrated you are not interested in a good faith discussion.
And you just keep confirming that you're a troll playing games.
Ok… what about Nancy Pelosi and her ilk who have greatly enriched themselves while in office. “10% for the Big Guy” ring a bell? Trump is no paragon of moral virtue, but he’s hardly exceptional in that regard.
Your myopic hypocrisy is astounding.
There you go again. "Hey Americans, pay no attention to your grocery and gas bills! The stats that we manipulate say everything's fine, you idiot rubes!"
You're as condescending as Sunny Hostin.
You don't get it. He doesn't believe anything bad that he's told about Biden. But he needs PROOF that Trump lost money and donated his salary.
And if you provide him PROOF he'll just fail to respond.
MAN what a waste of time. Glad it's not my time.... Pages and pages...
Clearly a recycled sock account. Shows up in the past week….. spams the hell out of this board pretending to be an “independent” “moderate” but before long the true colors show.
Was she the perfect candidate? Absolutely not, but like I said I liked her agenda over Trump. Both lacked context, though.
Richard Nixon famously said that he was Keynesian, and oh by the way, 60’s and 70’s were the closest we’ve seen the wealth divide. That divide began to grow under Reagan and every president we have had since has been a neolib, Obama, Trump, and Biden included.
My switch the the Democratic Party coincided with the departure of fiscal responsibility on the Republican side. Bush and Trump did just as much to raise the deficit as the other bums.
I’m wary of the two mentioned before but I hope DOGE works. I just know Elon has a lot of money tied up in government projects and can totally see this as a way to further benefit his empire.
Yep I'm done with him. He's blocked.
