Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on Donald Trump’s efforts to strong-arm some of the country’s top law firms into doing his bidding on Sunday night’s episode of the embattled CBS newsmagazine.
Pelley’s segment pulled no punches in describing Trump’s efforts and reminding viewers that Trump is the “first felon” ever to sit in the Oval Office.
I do suspect there’s a pretty decent sized chunk who bought into that “Republicans are good for the economy” line of bullshit DECADES ago and have just spent the intervening time hell bent on not giving anything political even the tiniest iota of thought. These people still fucking suck, as that basically involves waking up every day and choosing to be a completely uninformed moron rather than spend 5 fucking seconds thinking about something they find uninteresting. So some are hateful bigots and some are just so fucking stupid it’s a minor miracle they’ve survived this long without someone to follow them around covering the outlets and safety pinning mittens to their sleeves. Fuck em both.
“I’ve been a conservative because I believe the Regan trickle down economics works.”
My old coworker. I literally said “my guy we’ve had fifty goddamn years to show that is complete bullshit. How many more decades do we need to try it for you to realize it doesn’t work?”
As you said, he just spent 0 time thinking about it.
But to be honest, it does work for him in a way… His parents were wealthy and so he has lived his life as a janitor and a doorman and will still be able to retire into a nice house with a ton of inheritance money…
Yeah, it trickles down from rich parents to their kids. That’s good enough for him I guess.
