They turned out not to be the lapdogs he’d hoped for.

I regret it too, but for the opposite reason.
They’ve given him a LOT of his best wins, including his supposed immunity. What a big fucking whiney baby, complaining about the insignificant stuff he didn’t get, instead of the important stuff he did get. He expected them to be carbon copies of Thomas, and just rubber stamp everything.
Also, he has narcissitc personality disorder. He is pathologically incapable of expressing genuine humility or gratitude.
There’s another thing at play, which I’ve seen in these greedy business types - they don’t see what they’ve got, they see what they don’t have, and they want it. Further, they see money they missed out on making, and it makes them absolutely crazy.
When I was young, I managed a record store for a rich guy, who owned two stores in the mall, a regular record store, and my classical/jazz specialty store (coolest store in town). I learned to express records by their profit value: “I have to keep that record in stock, it’s a $1000 record.” That meant it had generated $1000 in profit over its time in the store, so it’s worth keeping in the permanent inventory.
So a new Barbara Streisand record came out, and I put it on my front wall, at $2 off, and it started flying. My boss happened to walk in (he dropped in about once a week) and asked about it. I told him we’d sold about 100, so it had made $200 already, thinking he’d be pleased. He responded that it had LOST $200, since it was on sale. I explained that there were two other record stores on the mall that had it as well, and it was $2 off there as well. If I didn’t match their prices, we wouldn’t sell any, and he’d make $0 profit. All he heard was that his other store also had it at $2 off, so he marched down there to holler at him, too, and make them take it off sale as well.
Later, the manager of the other store came over to yell at ME for some reason, and I’m like hey man, you know he’s a psycho.
And so the other big chain store got all the sales after that, since they were $2 cheaper than us. All because the rich owner could only see the money he WASN’T making.
He thinks they are supposed to work for him. Just like the Attorney General is supposed to work for him, and “his” generals should be as compliant to him as Hitler’s generals were for Hitler.
He’s such a goddamned jackass.
Seriously, he’s one of the worst things to ever happen to America.
The two thirds of Americans who support him by voting him in or not voting are the worst thing to happen to America.
He’s a symptom of a larger disease
They’re neck and neck.
2/3 supporting him is a wild mischaracterization. You can’t just assume everyone who didn’t vote is automatically in support, that’s wild. Like, immature mindset of a child, wild.
The ones who didn’t vote against him are de facto in support of him. They might hate him and rightfully so, but they didn’t get off their asses and do something about it. They are complicit regardless of their political leanings.
I can’t stand Kamala Harris, she’s a cop-friendly wolf in sheep’s clothing, she would not have been great for this country. But you bet your ass I voted for her because to either not vote or to vote for the current shitstain would have been far worse, as we see now.
If they don’t like getting blamed for him, they should’ve voted.
Those fuckers are more dumb than the Trump supporters. At least MAGA understands that voting matters.
I acknowledge that the Democrats have issues, didn’t acknowledge the whole genocide situation, and refused to field good candidates in favour of establishment ones.
But not voting against the guy who (known at the time) was going to make Gaza worse, had let millions of Americans die to Covid, ripped up alliances, planned to persecute trans and gay people, “mass deportations now”, “dictator on day one”, was a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, likely a core member of the Epstein ring, and tried to overthrow the US government is fucking insane.
I get that the dems used Trump to hold right wing policy at ransom, but I still cannot believe of the two options anyone would choose not to vote. Especially when it was known to be close.
In defense of the Democrats, they were kinda screwed by Biden’s refusal to step down
Youre attributing to malicious indifference what is more than likely just ignorance.
Youre mistaking your political involvement to be the standard as though everyone knows and understands the history of Israel/Palestine. Most people barely understand their own countries history. Most people don’t understand economics or markets or politics. Its not their thing.
A lot of people are just not engaged with politics. And you can argue that’s a position of privilege, but its also one of their ignorance. They’re not as interested in it as we are here, that doesnt automatically mean they’re uncaring evil enablers.
You can make the case that they should be more involved. But they’re not hearing evidence and then willfully not acting on it… they’re not hearing anything. And if your position is “those people are the enemy” they’re never going to hear you.
I don’t give a fuck what their bullshit excuse was. At this point – or at any point since at least 2020 – not knowing what Trump is is civic negligence. He attempted a coup, for fuck’s sake!
Non voters are motherfucking fascist collaborators and they deserve to be treated like collaborators!
Cool, totally sane person.
All youre doing is telling the those ignorant people that your position is judgemental and angry. Amd they’re going to respond with “well I don’t wanna associate with those people”
You can’t shame someone into your moral position. Gay conversion therapy have been trying that for years. It doesnt work. It mostly just build animosity.
Youre doing the right a favor by making the left look so unappealing.
Fuck all the way off trying to compare people who can’t be bothered to have even a shred of the most basic common decency and sense of responsibility as citizens to victims of conversion “therapy!” What the fuck is wrong with you?!
The “you made me turn fascist by being a meanie” excuse is weak-ass invalid nonsense and you fucking know it.
If it’s any consolation, I also regret he nominated them.
“They voted against me too often,” the president continued. “I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often. They vote for me too.”
…
“So they have loyalty to Barack Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden doesn’t even know who the hell they are. He wouldn’t know. He doesn’t even know what the Supreme Court is. And me, I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it’s unfortunate what they did,” he said.
puddingbrain.
LOL, he always goes back to his personal grievances. He hates that Obama was voted in. Him and so many other conservatives lost their fucking minds over Obama being in office. Not just one term, but two terms. He also cannot stand it that Obama and Seth mocked him at that White House Correspondents Dinner. Utterly humiliated him. He is still has raging butthurt over all of it.
Also, Obama was approved by so many more, had a much bigger and girthier crowd size, AND got a Nobel Peace Prize.
He also hates that he lost to Biden. He just cannot take it.
Surprised he didn’t throw Rosie O’Donnell into the mix, too.
No doubt still pissed he lost the popular vote to Hilary, too.
If I was on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, I’d push to give the next Nobel Peace Prize to Obama again.
Same. Just to make sure that Obama has one more than even the 1 that donnie stole from that woman.
Also, JFC, can you even believe he kept it? That fact alone is just…staggering.
And I’m sure he’s someone that thinks participation trophies are stupid, meanwhile, he has something worth way less than a participation trophy. He is just beyond stupid.
He really is a complete embarrassment to the country, in every single way.
That’s okay, his biggest records are yet to come: First president to go to go to prison, first president to get executed.
First president to go to go to prison, first president to get executed.
Well, I’d much rather the first part. As for the second, I’m against the death penalty, but if the justice system felt that was truly the only way that conservatives would ever learn a fucking lesson here, then I would reluctantly agree with it.
That’s why I strike a middle ground on the death penalty. I think it is used far too much, and often for all the wrong reasons, but OTOH, I also believe that some people have EARNED their death penalty, and who are we to begrudge them their earnings?
It should only be used at the Federal level, and should apply to only a handful of cases in an entire decade, across the entire country. It should be reserved for the most heinous crimes, like serial killers, child killers, torture killers, child molester killers, etc., as well as those who have committed high treason. Even then, it should be reserved for those whose cases have no doubts by anyone at all. And before the execution takes place after a reasonable cooling off period, the entire case is automatically reviewed by a panel of judges before being carried out.
I don’t like the Death Penalty, either, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a responsible place in our society.
Some needs are better served by free individuals acting alone in a field in Pennsylvania, instead of a bubmbling government operation
He literally does not understand that they’re supposed to be independent and not just do whatever he says.
Don’t they vote with him like 90% of the time. I can’t find a reference but it’s definitely good for the GOP to have those members.
Yeah, but even voting against him even once is a bridge too far for him.
Mumble mumble… Equal branches of government or something
They turned out not to be the lapdogs he’d hoped for.
I mean, they are totally lapdogs, they just don’t grovel and crawl to him like Natalie does
“They don’t even offer to change my diapers, the jerks!”
Natalie Harp the Donny Diapper dapper???
Let me document that, Trump and I agree on this, for wildly different reasons
If he regrets it, he should have them impeached and removed.
I know how he feels.
