Auric Goldfinger has nothing on Trump, a man obsessed with wealth. That iconic photo of him seated like a king on his throne in his gilded penthouse with his other possessions including wife tell the viewer all that needs to be known about the man. That he would be the choice of millions for President is astonishing, as is the fact that he will face off against a war criminal. Democracies are supposed to choose the best candidate for political office. We have inverted that, but then our democracy is corrupt so inversion should not be surprising.

It's simply a matter of deciding between the so-called "lesser of two evils" and the even more dangerous "evil of two lessers."

Either way, this Nation and the Planet lose.

Inverted as well as Perverted Clif... I was alluding to "Goldfinger" in my Comment earlier did you pick up on it? Minus the "Oddjob" of course... I'm sure Trumps Golf Game is right on the Money w/ Goldfinger's as well as Cards.

Well....he's gotta come up with some way to pay his half-billion-plus in fines, and counting. Not to mention his legal fees: $50 million last year alone, I read somewhere. It would probably have been three or four times that if he could have retained really good attorneys.

Instead of death by 1000 cuts, it's debt by 100+ indictments.

Just like they do in the "developing" countries.

Perhaps not -- but his lifeblood is money, thus the cases and penalties against him. But if those golden sneakers sell like hotcakes ...

What a Great way to prove one's devotion and loyalty, eh?

Nah. He's going to choke to death gorging on some campaign rally junk food made for him by some adoring MAGA Moron or MAGA Maggot.

Maybe for You, Dennis. But not for a bunch of other people.

But that's Your problem, and not mine,

Plus, even if he does get convicted, when he wins that 2024 election [assuming that it actually happens], he'll be able to issue a Presidential Pardon to himself, and all will be well in Trumplandia once again.

I was joking with my wife today that I can'r endure another four years of Trump Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron. I think Melania seems sane because she tries to avoid the spotlight.

The Trump family and its weirdness makes the Adams Family look normal. :-)

Well, the Clintons had only one kid, Chelsea, right?

Obama has two daughters who seem OK (what little I know about them).

Biden: I agree! Hunter is a train wreck. Beau seemed like a good dude. He died too young. I know nothing about Ashley Biden, his only daughter that's still living.

Trump's kids (like Ivanka and Jared) were much too involved in the government, in my opinion.

Hillary got a quarter million per speech for 30 min. speeches at Goldman. I've heard her speak and I wouldn't pay a dime. But then again I'm not trying to buy political influence.

And don't volunteer to hold Your breath waiting for Trump ~ or any other American politician ~ to pardon and free Assange.

"Enemies of The State and Its Established Order" like Assange will never be pardoned and freed. At least not by "leaders" like Biden, Trump, Obama, Cheney/Bush II, Clinton, Bozo and Bush I, Carter, Ford, Nixon, and, of course, LBJ.

jg moebus's avatar

His choice was to have his arm twisted to not pardon Assange, or to have his arm ripped off and jammed down his throat.

Those folks that Trump is owned, operated, commanded, and controlled by know exactly how to deal with men of such integrity, honesty, and courage as Trump.

Look up "jocularity" in a dictionary, Dennis. And then tell us where You see that on BV today.

And be careful about "Laughing Your Ass Off." It may make it difficult for You to defecate.

Well at least he didn't launch a pair into space to float around forever wasting a massive amount of the highest grade fossil fuel propellant in the world, several times more dense than auto gas.

"At liftoff, the two Solid Rocket Boosters consume 11,000 pounds of fuel per second. That's two million times the rate at which fuel is burned by the average family car."

re: The TRUCKERS4TRUMP and Their Boycott of New York City

It’s a real shame that You ~ and especially Your Daughters and their Kids ~ don’t live in New York City, Dennis.

It would be very interesting to then see what Your reaction and response would be to the TRUCKRERS4TRUMP proposed refusal to transport food, medicines, and other essentials of living and life into NYC and to the people that live there.

My guess is that You wouldn’t be giving that plan all the “Likes” You have bestowed on it. Then again, maybe You would.

And given all Your insider information from all Your reliable sources: Is there any truth to the rumor that the TRUCKERS also plan to boycott completely any State that does not declare Trump the winner of Election2024 in that State? Assuming, of course, that there actually is an election.

In any event, i’m curious: What would be Your reaction if the T4Ts decided to boycott the cities where Your daughters and their Kids live now? Would You be babbling and bubbling over about what You termed “PEOPLE POWER” then?

Meanwhile, in Other News:

The Second “Day That Will Live In Infamy”… :

82 years ago today, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which required the arrest and internment in concentration camps of all American Citizens of Japanese ancestry. And the seizure by the American government of the private, personal and business properties of those Citizens.

“But, but, but…,” will no doubt be bleated, “there was a WAR going on!!!”

That being the case, then one can only wonder why the same thing didn’t happen to all American Citizens of German or Italian ancestry, eh?

The real hucksters are the politicians who become super-wealthy from a lifetime of government "service".

Alex's avatar

That's why we like him!

Heh. Well it COULD be worse, Bill. Instead of "Golden Sneakers" for the bargain price of $399; he could be offering "Golden Showers" for who-knows-how much.

One can only guess at how much MAGA Morons and MAGA Maggots would be willing to fork over for that, eh?

There actually, really are actual, real Human Beings who honestly, sincerely, and seriously believe that Trump is "the last Great Hope" ~ and no doubt, White ~ for the future of America.

They will get exactly what they deserve. Just like the people of post-World War I and then Nazi Germany who regarded Hitler in the same light got exactly what they deserved,

Bill Astore's avatar

I wonder if Hitler sold golden sneakers with a big "H" on the side? Or maybe golden jackboots?

My Air Force Ones are so Passe' Its Gold for me "He & I love only Gold." So is my "Dude" The Big Lebowski Bobblehead now its a "Trump" one out there on You Tube "Limited Edition" as well...

Look at those chunky Soles! lol Just like him. Do you think I'm paying for the Label?
