No argument here, a corrupt asshole is still a corrupt asshole no matter what they make think of themselves.
But because they can genuinely believe whatever bullshit comes out of their mouth others have no problem buying into it as well.
Trump cheats, lies, rapes and steals. But I don’t think HE consciously thinks of anything he does as cheating, lying, raping and stealing.
People don’t tend to want to think of themselves as the bad guy. So they make up excuses to justify their behavior.
I worked for a small company and traveled with the owner frequently. Somehow we got on the subject of bonuses for the sales staff and he told me he often finds ways of reducing their bonus if they ever got a massive deal because they are salespeople and they would just waste the money and hurt themselves… In his mind he was responsible enough to handle the money rather than waste it. I’ve encountered similar altitudes and behaviors with more than a few business owners and wealthy people I’ve encountered. They hide behind many excuses for bad behavior.
The only reason Trump is scared is he knows how his base will see this.
Reicht Wingers: Hey birthday rates in the US are plummeting!?!?
Tech Bros: Let’s make 20 and 30 somethings work 72 hours a week!
Reicht Wingers: Genius!
The Big Beautiful Bill isn’t really a tax cut. It is mostly comprised of deferred taxes. They only slashed a trillion from the budget. The rest is financed through increased debt.
The BBB will add over 3 trillion to the deficit which the public will pay one way or another.
Either higher taxes down the road, increased inflation or through higher interest rates… Most likely a combination of all three. But it will be paid.
You’re looking at it completely wrong.
Fundamentally it doesn’t matter if you are a good person. Even the nicest most moral of us are sinners in the eyes of Christians.
What matters is that you are forgiven by god for your sins. Even if you lie, cheat, steal, murder, commit adultery etc. Going to church and being absolved of your sins makes you a good person and welcome by god.
The worst people I have met are Christians for this very reason. They believe they have been absolved of their wrongs in the eyes of god and you have not.
Some people exist to serve as an example to others…
Alligator Alcatraz is just the first. Republican governors will be tripping over themselves to build concentration camps to supply slave labor other states industries.
Yep that is what I was referring to.
Mark my words Republicans will turn to using convict labor to harvest crops before they ever turn on Trump or admit any faults.
Step1: Round up undocumented immigrants and criminals.
Step2: Put them in prison for “crimes”.
Step3: Profit! Lease them to farms for $1 a day. Since slavery is legal if you are incarcerated. Republicans are going to build an entire underclass of criminals who will do these jobs.
Bonus: None of the brown people or criminals will be able to vote because they are now felons. Farmers will cry and vote Republican if anyone even suggests doing away with the prison industrial system.

22 is too young. From a purely clinical point of view your brain isn’t done maturing and you haven’t hit the prime years of your life.
But there is no option in the US for male birth control and there is a chance that the vasectomy can be reverse, so do what you think you need t so. It’s not a chance I would take though.
