A slimeball can refer to a round lump made of or coated with slime, often associated with certain parasites, or it can be used informally to describe a sneaky or undesirable person. Urban Dictionary: slimeball\
I should just make it who is the second slimiest so the thread keeps going. So glad that dude lost the mayor race, I usually don't feel genuine hate when I watch politics its like a soap opera kind of thing but the Cuomos are so vile. Can't believe that vile sack of crap tried to be mayor.
Trump? no.. he is a HASNAMUSS.. he is what he is and cannot change.. when he goes down, all of those weakling wannabes (like Lindsey Graham.. the perpetual bobble head) and the snakes (yes.. you Stephen Miller!) wanting to be around power will suffer terribly.. I'm voting for Richard Nixon.. here's why: in 1968 Nixon was just a private citizen.. he wanted to be President so badly it was killing him.. His idea was to have a 'Secret Plan' to end War in SE Asia.. he caught wind that there was a Peace Accord secretly agreed to and signed by USA, S KOREA, AUSTRALIA, N VIETNAM, CHINA, RUSSIA.. everyone with a horse in the race EXCEPT S VIETNAM.. Nixon saw his chance.. he communicated with S Vietnam's President Thieu and pleaded with him NOT TO SIGN IT.. Nixon promised him he'd get him a much better deal if he didn't sign.. and..Thieu didn't sign it.. therefore, America's involvement continued.. roughly 24,000 more Americans died.. maybe another 100,000 severe injuries.. tons more Agent Orange dumped.. all over SE Asia more than 1/2 million additional casualties (many non-combatants).. Nixon finally went down for covering up the Watergate break-in.. but WHAT was he looking for? sure.. dirt on Daniel Ellsberg.. but there was something more important to him.. Nixon was convinced that the DNC had transcripts from the calls with President Thieu that could unseat him.. he was a civilian conducting foreign policy contrary to the intentions of the elected President and US Gvmt.. that's also known as treason.. and, HE ALONE was responsible for so many unnecessary deaths between 1968 and 1973 (when our ground troops were finally home) it's sickening..
Nixon was not convicted of sexual abuse and defamation, Nixon was not convicted of 34 counts of felony fraud, Nixon did not enrich himself by $6.5 billion while president, Nixon did not orchestrate an attempted violent coup to stay in office resulting in 4 immediate deaths and 5 others later, Nixon was not impeached twice, Nixon was not a pawn of the Soviet Union, Nixon was highly intelligent and politically knowledgeable, Nixon did not suggest that his top general be executed, Nixon did not attempt to destroy NATO, nor make Canada a state, nor invade Mexico, or annex Greenland by force, etc. NATO didn't have to send troops to Greenland to protect it from the U.S.A while Nixon was in office and Canada didn't stage war games to combat a U.S. invasion while Nixon was in office. In the final analysis when it came to personal power or the country, Nixon had the honor and patriotism to resign. Trump would see his own vice president hung by a mob and never bat an eye.
Nixon was still an asshole. But people respected the office of the Presidency back then. Now it's just a way to grift billions in office.
I respect your disgust for the current Hasnamuss-in Chief but Nixon had absolutely no regard for either 'honor or patriotism'.. the GOP Senators visited him the night before the vote to convict and explained he would - in fact - be convicted the next day.. so he resigned ONLY to save his skin and probable federal charges of treason.. BTW: I loathe everything about current Mango Man-in -Chief, but don't delude yourself into believing there's ANY military force in the planet (assuming nuclear weapons aren't deployed) that could stop USA from taking Greenland/Canada/all of NATO (Europe) combined.. other than China.. which is why CANADA would do well to pursue trade agreements with China.. China will start patrolling Western Pacific in greater numbers to 'remind' us that and attack on their ships delivering/receiving goods from Canada wouldn't be wise.. (it also redirects America's attention from CHINA's claims to South China Sea & Taiwan..) very stupid move by DT to alienate NATO, CANADA and so many other nations.. Americas fleets will need to be everywhere; all at once.. it will force America to rely more on nuclear deterrence he's got us in a pickle..CHINA now has free reign to trade with CANADA, we lose goods, our GDP drops, CHINA gets stronger in N Pacific, S Pacific trading w/western S America, S Atlantic trading with eastern S America.. and likely with India and S Africa America's GDP will tank..
I believe China was already doing business with Canada. So what? Both countries can do what they like. Trade equals peace, most of the time if you don't weaponize it against every country in the world. One day we and the rest of the world can blame everything that's happened and going to happen on Trump and his sycophants. We will get over him and MAGA will be treated in memory as American Nazis.
CANADÁ was doing some trade with China.. sure.. but Canada is about to sign agreement to buy 41,000 EVs from China; not the USA (maybe already has.. I cut my news services last week).. Canada is 'detaching' from USA maybe perception of political slime-ball is a generational thing.. all I know is there's no stopping what's happening.. progress can be great, but there's no where near the number of tech-educated Americans to to stay gainfully employed once robotics is fully implemented.. ditto AI (note Amazon has discarded 40K white collar and anticipates far more trimming of 'excess employees' in near future? not that I give a crap about Bezos, but ALL government services are based on taxes that derive from income.. property taxes means someone had money to buy the property.. ditto Sales/Use taxes.. Medicare/SS, State/Licsl general funds for fire/police.. do: where are the taxes coming from when 40% +of people cannot work? why is interest charges on school loans? (increased taxes easily pays for the loans) WTF are elected reps doing in DC about TOMORROW'S world Besides fucking it up? working families eking out an existence cannot just stop working to retool their skillsets.. gonna be nasty.. I already see MAGA as slime balls but they began with Moral Majority, then the rude if Rush Limbaugh, then Newt Gingrich's 'Contract with America', the TEA PARTY Republicans.. anything goes 100% or nothing burn down America but don't give a inch DEMS need to quietly remind their GOP colleagues in Senate that THEY don't need to worry about being primaried by MAGA.. DEMS will be investigating THEM after winning Presidency for corruption (including siding/abetting treason)
True he lost the support of the Republican Party. I should have said that the Republican Party had the honor and patriotism to force him to resign, unlike today's Republicans who are owned by Trump. Never said there was. However NATO sans the U.S. has 1.5 million active military personal verses the U.S.'s 1.4 million. Plus NATO has 2 million reservists v the U.S.'s 800,000, and a budget of $1 trillion v the U.S's $877 billion. In addition the U.S. would face 31 nations combined. Here's an interesting video: But the fact that we're even discussing this points out the damage Trump has done to the U.S. and the world compared to Nixon. No contest.
Well that's simple. Just get the rich to make up the difference. Elon Musk is worth $428 billion. divide that by 12 months and you get.... $35,666,666,666.66666412 per year. That's over 35 billion dollars a year! Larry Ellison $276 billion. Mark Zuckerberg $253 billion. Jeff Bezos $241 billion. Larry Page $179 billion. That's $997 billion dollars a year for just 5 people. Tough to live on that amount, how do they do it???
I couldn't agree more about the destruction wrought by Trump on World Order.. that is the function of the hasnamuss throughout time.. he is quite incapable of changing.. literally sadly we're subject to his three year old behaviors.. so very simple to convene NATO meeting and request of Denmark, Finland and Canada that America be allowed to jointly establish and develop military bases 10-20 military bases ion Greenland, Canada's North Provinces and In Finland.. America can absorb cost and baseline staffing.. NATO countries rotate in forces every 2-4 weeks.. Heck, Denmark's queen has already stated US could buy rare-Earth minerals... so he's just a bully who sees EVERTHING as zero-sum transactions.. as far as the very, very, very wealthy? it will happen after my afore-mentioned collapse begins.. when families watch their children die from lack of food/medical care.. the French Revolution will be resurrected.. I'm not going to quibble about whose dad is toughest.. or qualify my position on Americas non-nuclear military.. I went to West Point long enough and served in 101st Airborne!s Command Center to know a bit of what America could do should all of Nato attack us.. anyway, it's been fun
